SeekerGeForce RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio
The MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio puts its own touches and an overclock on Nvidia’s fearsome “BFGPU,” with mixed results. It’s a great card, but Nvidia’s Founders Edition is cooler, quieter, and cheaper. Make sure you can use the RTX 3090’s full potential before buying one.
