MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X E 12G OC

A powerful and productive mid-priced gaming video card from MSI, released in 2023. Despite its high cost in the hierarchy of NVIDIA Ada Lovelace video accelerators, it occupies an intermediate role, superior to the younger GPUs of the 50 and 60 series, but at the same time significantly inferior to the monsters RTX 4080 and RTX 4090. It is mainly intended for gaming PCs with 2K -monitors, with DLSS activated and game settings reduced, can be used for games in 4K resolution.

It can also serve as an assistant for photo and video processing, editing, 3D modeling and other resource-intensive tasks. The video card is noticeably different from the version of the RTX 4070 that NVIDIA originally presented - the length of the printed circuit board is 24 cm, the GPU occupies two slots of the motherboard, and for its cooling there are 2 massive TORX FAN fans with support for silent operation.

The manufacturer is positioning it as an optimal replacement for NVIDIA GPUs from previous generations like the RTX 2060/2060 SUPER and earlier cards of the GTX 10XX and GTX 16XX series. The MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X E 12G OC shares a number of features with its direct predecessor, the RTX 3070. Both GPUs feature 5,888 stream processors, 184 Texturing Units (TMUs), 184 Gen 4 Tensor Cores, and 46 Gen 3 dedicated ray tracing cores.

The next-generation cores provide better processing of game lighting and more efficient frame finishing using neural networks, which significantly increases the average number of frames per second in games. At the same time, the GPU clock speeds increased from 1725 MHz to 2475 MHz, and the memory accelerated from 14000 MHz to 21000 MHz, thanks to which the gaming performance of the device increased by almost one and a half times, putting it on par with the performance of the top model of the previous generation GeForce RTX 3080. In large In AAA projects like Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3 Remastered, it provides a frame rate of at least 80 FPS in 1440p resolution with maximum graphics settings. At the same time, it has fairly low power consumption in terms of performance - only 200 W, so the manufacturer recommends using a 650 W power supply for the entire assembly.
