Trusted By Elite Overclockers
Developed, tested, and validated by elite overclockers, this graphics card is built to meet the demands of record-breaking performance. From extreme stress testing to real-world tuning, it delivers the stability, precision, and headroom trusted by the world’s best.
This MSI RTX 5090 Lightning is truly made to break all records!
The measurement points for the three main voltages are easily accessible for perfect monitoring, and the core is completely surrounded by numerous robust MOSFETs, generating extremely stable voltages and keeping the PCB at a positive temperature during extreme overclocking sessions, preventing any unwanted condensation.
A PCB that can withstand extremely cold temperatures, a BIOS optimized for efficiency, and software that provides total control over all voltages combine to achieve unprecedented RTX 5090 core frequencies of close to 3800MHz.
It was a pleasure to overclock this 5090 Lightning and break several world records in collaboration with Infomax Paris. The rest will follow soon.
Great work and thanks MSI.
Powered by lightning-like strength and extreme performance, it removes all limits for me.
The most robust and World record ready Graphics card I have seen in almost 10 years.
