MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Shadow 3X OC 12GB Nvidia Graphic Card

The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Shadow 3X OC (model G5070-12S3C) is a performance-oriented graphics card built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture and powered by the GeForce RTX 5070 GPU. It ships with 12 GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps across a 192-bit memory bus, delivering substantial bandwidth for high-resolution gaming and creative workloads. The card operates at a boost clock of 2542 MHz, with an Extreme Performance mode reachable at 2557 MHz when tuned through MSI Center software. The Shadow 3X OC carries MSI’s triple-fan thermal solution featuring TORX Fan 5.0 technology. Ring arcs connect three sets of 22-degree-tilted fan blades to stabilise airflow and maintain elevated static pressure across the heatsink. A nickel-plated copper baseplate makes direct contact with the GPU die and memory modules, rapidly transferring heat into the Core Pipes — which use a square contact profile to maximise surface area at the GPU interface — before dispersing it across the aluminium fin stack. A reinforcing backplate includes a pass-through airflow vent so exhaust is not trapped behind the card. Zero Frozr technology allows all three fans to stop spinning entirely when the GPU temperature is sufficiently low, resulting in passive-silent operation during light or idle workloads. Connectivity is comprehensive: three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs and one HDMI 2.1b port support up to four simultaneous displays at a digital maximum resolution of 7680 × 4320. The HDMI port is rated for up to 4K at 480 Hz or 8K at 120 Hz with DSC, Gaming VRR, and HDR. The card connects via PCI Express Gen 5 and draws power through a single 16-pin connector, with a rated TDP of 250 W and a recommended PSU of 650 W. NVIDIA DLSS 4 and G-SYNC compatibility are supported. The card is also designated SFF-Ready Enthusiast, meaning its 303 × 121 × 49 mm footprint and 982 g weight are verified against a defined size envelope for compact builds. Software support includes MSI Center for real-time monitoring and OC profile management, and MSI Afterburner for manual clock and voltage adjustments. DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 are supported.
