MSI introduced the RTX 5090 Lightning Z at CES 2026. This graphics card features liquid cooling with a 360mm AIO and an Extreme BIOS supporting up to 1000W. Production is limited to 1300 units globally, with only 30 units allocated for the UK. Before a full review, an extensive unboxing experience is presented.

The MSI RTX 5090 Lightning Z is an exceptional graphics card. It comes with numerous value-added extras, such as a dedicated BIOS switch keychain, three magnets, and voltage check cables. Additionally, a dedicated vertical mounting kit is included, allowing for optimal display of the card, even in cases without native vertical mounting support.
