Notes
We've opted to test the MSI RTX 3090 Gaming X Trio using the latest 456.71 driver at the time of writing and have seen little change in performance between the new release and 456.38 at launch. It is worth noting that we experienced no stability issues on either Ampere-based Gaming X Trio card irrespective of driver version.
