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

Extra tests, Graphics | | Adam Vágner

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.

If you’d like to use more demanding ray tracing features on lower-end cards, you can enable FSR or DLSS, which renders frames at a lower sample count and reconstructs them to the target resolution using upscaling—better described as super resolution. For Ultra and RT Ultra, we choose the higher-quality Balanced mode; for RT Overdrive with path tracing, we use FSR in Performance mode.

Global settings Ultra

Performance with FSR3 native AA, FSR3 Balanced and FSR3 Balanced + Frame Gen

1920 × 1080

2560 × 1440

3840 × 2160

Global settings RT Ultra

Performance with FSR3 native AA, FSR3 Balanced and FSR3 Balanced + Frame Gen

1920 × 1080

2560 × 1440

3840 × 2160

Global settings RT Overdrive

Performance with FSR3 native AA, FSR3 Performance and FSR3 Performance + Frame Gen

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

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

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

Graphics, News, Software | | Jan Olšan

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.

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.
