Has Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP)

Both GPUs share the same underlying silicon configuration — identical 2017 MHz base clocks, 21,760 shading units, 680 TMUs, 176 ROPs, and 1750 MHz memory speed — confirming they are built on the same RTX 5090 die with no architectural differences between them. The only meaningful performance gap lies in the boost clock: the MSI Gaming Trio OC edges ahead at 2482 MHz versus the Inno3D X3 OC's 2452 MHz, a 30 MHz advantage that flows directly into every derived metric.

That 30 MHz difference, while modest in absolute terms, translates to the MSI delivering 108 TFLOPS of floating-point throughput against the Inno3D's 106.7 TFLOPS, and a texture fill rate of 1688 GTexels/s versus 1667.4 GTexels/s. In practice, these are roughly 1.2% gains — imperceptible in gaming frame rates but potentially relevant in sustained compute workloads like AI inference or rendering, where every sustained clock cycle compounds over time.

The MSI Gaming Trio OC holds a narrow but clear performance edge in this group, driven entirely by its higher factory boost clock. For the vast majority of gaming use cases the two cards will be functionally indistinguishable, but if maximum out-of-box clock headroom matters — whether for compute tasks or as a starting point before manual overclocking — the MSI is the marginally stronger factory tune.

The Inno3D GeForce RTX 5090 X3 OC and MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC have nearly identical memory specifications. Both GPUs feature an effective memory speed of 28000 MHz, and their VRAM capacity is the same at 32GB. The GDDR7 memory type is also shared between the two models. Both GPUs utilize a 512-bit memory bus width, ensuring a broad data pathway for optimal performance. Additionally, both products support ECC (Error Correction Code) memory, adding extra reliability in computations.

The maximum memory bandwidth is almost identical, with the Inno3D model reaching 1792 GB/s and the MSI model slightly behind at 1790 GB/s. This difference in bandwidth is minimal and unlikely to have a noticeable impact on real-world performance.

In summary, the memory specifications of these two GPUs are extremely similar, with only a very slight difference in maximum memory bandwidth, which is unlikely to affect overall usage.
