MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING X TRIO 12G

Powerful and powerful mid-range gaming graphics card from MSI released in 2023. Despite the high cost in the hierarchy of NVIDIA Ada Lovelace video accelerators, it occupies an intermediate role, surpassing the younger 4050/4060 GPUs, but at the same time significantly inferior to the RTX 4080/4090 monsters. The basis of the device is the modified AD104 GPU that NVIDIA used in the RTX 4070 models.

The difference is that the Ti version has more stream processors (7680 vs 5888), and the GPU is overclocked to 2760 MHz, due to which a higher level of performance is achieved. The amount of memory in both cases is 12 GB, and a 192-bit bus is used for data exchange. The video card is comparable in speed to the flagships of the previous generation, which means it copes well with any 2K and maximum graphics settings, and is also quite suitable for 4K resolution.

In the latter case, you will have to slightly lower the settings and enable DLSS. This is the third generation of this technology, which has been taught to work with four types of visual data, the NVIDIA Reflex optimizer and the Optical Flow Accelerator engine have been built into it, as a result of which the efficiency of drawing missed frames has noticeably increased. DLSS 3.0 is exclusively supported by GeForce 4000 series cards and is especially useful when playing at high resolutions and actively using ray tracing.

The MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Ti GAMING X TRIO 12G belongs to the upper mid-range segment, part of MSI Gaming's all-in-one series with a focus on gaming and efficient cooling. It is designed in the same style as all the top video accelerators from the MSI Gaming series of 2022-2023 release. The proprietary Cooling system TRI FROZR with three active turntables, a wide metal base and a massive heatsink with a pack of heat-conducting pipes is responsible for cooling the GPU.

The length of the accelerator is 337 mm, it occupies three motherboard slots and consumes 285 watts of power. The casing is adorned with neat MSI Mystic Light Sync lighting. The manufacturer positions it as the optimal solution for gaming PCs and workstations with full-size cases, ATX format motherboards and at least 750 W power supplies. It may not fit into the compact Cube Case case. The card comes with proprietary NVIDIA tools (Broadcast, Encoder, Reflex, Studio, RTX IO) to optimize 3D graphics, streaming, reduce latency and speed up texture loading.
