MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC Plus Review: Picky-Grade

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti targets Nvidia card buyers wanting more VRAM without jumping to the much pricier RTX 5080 or 5090. MSI’s Gaming series traditionally delivers premium features and excellent operating characteristics rivaling high-end models, but at a more competitive price. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G Gaming Trio OC Plus stands out among mid-range options with a cooler that runs quiet and has thermal headroom to spare.

Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds—F1 24, 3840 × 2160 (Silent)

The following graphs show monitoring data from the F1 24 benchmark at 3840 × 2160 resolution with Ultra settings. The test takes place on the Singapore circuit in wet conditions. Unlike other benchmarks, which involve several loops with brief cooling intervals during loading, this is a continuous game load over a five-lap race lasting over ten minutes. The recorded values in the graphs are from the final lap, when the card is fully warmed up.

Performance difference remains smaller than the variation in clock speed or noise.

Average GPU clock dipped by just 4 MHz to 2701 MHz, with lows at 2685 MHz and highs at 2715 MHz.

Even here, the power consumption graph line doesn’t visibly touch the limit—yet actual consumption likely sits at the limit. Overall PC power is comparable to other RTX 5070 Ti cards that hit 300 W.

Average GPU temp peaked at 70.8 °C, memory mostly held at 72 °C.

Fans maintained ~1470 RPM.

And again, GPU Boost is capped by the 300 W limit, per monitoring.

End of GeForce RTX 5090: Retailers Ending Sales, Nvidia too

According to recent leaks, Nvidia is discontinuing the GeForce RTX 5090 and redirecting the GB202 chips to the production of AI accelerators for workstations and servers. At first, it was hard to believe. It would be the first time the company itself had canceled the most powerful and most expensive GPU model for gaming PCs—and what’s more, two years before the new generation. However, more and more signs appear to confirm this. Read more “End of GeForce RTX 5090: Retailers Ending Sales, Nvidia too” »

mVolt+ Unlocks Forbidden GeForce RTX 5000 Overclocking Options

Overclocking graphics cards is quite different from how “OC” works on CPUs. GPUs generally operate at fairly low voltages and clock speeds, and their overclocking is mostly artificially limited by various power or voltage limits in the drivers and firmware. The same is true of Nvidia’s current cards. But the artificial OC limits have now been bypassed, so it may be possible to extract significantly higher performance from them, although not without risks.

DLSS 5: First Game Out, Inner Workings and Performance Cost

The files of the AI game image enhancement technology DLSS 5 have leaked last week, and modders added the filter to the first games—unofficially. However, the official launch was not far behind. Nvidia has announced that it is now officially launching in the first game, NBA2K27, which is also the title from which the files previously leaked. Starting tomorrow, you will be able to try out what it looks like and what its costs are. Read more “DLSS 5: First Game Out, Inner Workings and Performance Cost” »

  1. I bought this exact a card a few months ago as it’s among the most quiet RTX 5070 Ti cards out there, and I’m quite happy with it. No noticeable coil whine either, but then the PC is under the desk and the Fractal Define 7 probably dampens it anyway. I do wish the fan speed could go lower than 30% as I can hear them when it’s very quiet, like late in the evening.

    It was expensive, though, so I just held my nose when I bought it.
