12GB - Triple Fans - Super Silent - 4% faster
We check out the MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming X TRIO, an premium choice within the RTX 4070 range, known for its outstanding build quality. Equipped with 12 GB of graphics memory and a triple-fan cooling system, this card not only exceeded the Founder's Edition by 4% in performance but also maintained an impressively quiet operation. The MSI Gaming X TRIO edition of NVIDIA's 4070 is not the standard reference model but a step up in MSI's product lineup. This particular graphics card is designed with a semi-passive cooling mechanism, activating its trio of fans to dissipate heat as the GPU temperature rises. To combat sagging, MSI has reinforced the card and added a support bracket. The GAMING TRIO lineup also includes a non-X version that shares the same specifications but offers a lower factory overclock. At the top of MSI's hierarchy, you'll find the SUPRIM and SUPRIM X models, boasting impressive factory overclocks and bespoke enthusiast designs. The MSI Gaming X TRIO 4070 is equipped with 12 GB GDDR6X graphics memory. NVIDIA has unveiled the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, set to launch on April 13th. At a retail price of $599, the RTX 4070 is a more affordable option for gamers seeking high-end performance than its predecessor, the RTX 4070 Ti, which was initially priced at $899.The GeForce RTX 4070 boasts impressive features such as ray tracing, DLSS, and AI-powered assists, making it an attractive choice for gamers who demand optimal performance. With 5888 CUDA/Shader cores and 12GB of 21Gbps GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit wide memory interface, the RTX 4070 delivers a maximum bandwidth of 504GB/s. It also includes 46 RT cores, 184 Tensor cores, 184 TMUs, and possibly 64 ROPs, using the same AD104 silicon as the RTX 4070 Ti, with 46 out of 60 streaming multiprocessors being enabled. The RTX 4070 provides a more affordable upgrade solution for gamers who want a high-end graphics card without competing with the cheapest RTX 4070 Ti.
