Architecture & Performance Features
Powered by NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, with 6,144 CUDA cores, 4th‑gen RT cores, and 5th‑gen Tensor cores for AI-accelerated rendering including DLSS 4 with Multi‑Frame Generation, and NVIDIA Reflex 2 support.
 
Clock Speeds & Memory
Boost Clock: ~2,610 MHz (factory overclocked), with Extreme Performance Mode pushing up to ~2,625 MHz via MSI Center The FPS Review.
Memory: 12 GB GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus at 28 Gbps (~672 GB/s bandwidth)
 
Cooling & Design 
Features MSI’s Tri Frozr 4 thermal system with StormForce Torx 5.0 fans, multiple heat pipes, Wave Curved 4.0, and Air Antegrade Fin 2.0 technologies, plus a nickel-plated copper baseplate and metal backplate for enhanced thermal performance.
 
Power, Outputs & Dimensions
TGP: ~250 W, powered via a single 16-pin connector; MSI recommends a 650 W PSU minimum.
Outputs include 3× DisplayPort 2.1b and 1× HDMI 2.1b, supporting up to 8K @ 120 Hz (DSC), HDR, VRR, G‑SYNC, and up to 4 displays at 7680×4320 resolution.
Dimensions: ~338 × 140 × 50 mm (three-slot), weight ~1,187 g; dual-slot width + large heatsink likely require a full tower chassis.
 
The MSI RTX 5070 Gaming Trio OC (12GB) is a premium RTX 50-series board that delivers exceptional thermals, low noise, and outstanding 1440p (and even competent 4K) gaming with ray tracing and DLSS 4 Multi‑Frame Gen enabled. It represents a worthwhile upgrade over the RTX 4070 series for those prioritizing FPS and cooling in ambitious gaming or creative workloads.
However, its 12 GB VRAM, size, and power demands limit its appeal for future-proof builds or compact systems. If you’re targeting a small case or prefer absolute VRAM longevity, a model with 16 GB might be better suited.
