NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 Ti is the company’s third graphics card to be released in the RTX 50 series. While the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 might be too powerful and costly for many people’s needs, the RTX 5070 Ti might be the perfect thing with its MSRP set at $749. Based on the same GB203 silicon as the RTX 5080, the RTX 5070 Ti will have a cut-down version that only enables 8,960 CUDA cores with 70 RT cores, 280 tensor cores, 280 TMUs, and 128 ROPs. NVIDIA has equipped the card with 16GB of GDDR7 memory that runs across a 256-bit memory interface. The card operates at a base clock speed of 2300 MHz, boosting up to 2452 MHz with the memory being 28 Gbps. The card we are taking a look at today specifically is the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC Plus. Gaming Trio is going to sit right below the Vangaurd series in MSI’s RTX 5070 Ti product stack. This card will come with a factory overclock so out of the box the GPU boost is going to be 2572 MHz. On top of that you are going to get MSI’s Tri Frozr 4 thermal design which features three cooling fans, a sleek metal backplate, and of course some RGB lighting. Is this the RTX 5070 Ti you need to get? Read on as we find out!

Packaging of the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC Plus
The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC comes in MSI’s standard packaging with a picture of the card on the front and it does let us know that we do have the OC Edition.
Flipping over to the back there is another picture of the card and some of the main features are detailed.
Opening the box up and getting everything out we have the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC card, a GPU support, triple 8-pin PCI-Express to 12VHPWR adapter, and a quick start guide. It is nice to see that MSI’s adapter cable does have yellow connectors so you know if you have it inserted all the way.
