MSI GeForce RTX 5070 VANGUARD SOC 12GB Graphics Card

The MSI GeForce RTX™ 5070 VANGUARD SOC graphics card is a powerhouse engineered for explorers, creators, and elite gamers alike. Designed with the spirit of futuristic innovation, the VANGUARD series boasts bold aerodynamic styling, fractured contours, and customizable RGB lighting—fusing cutting-edge visuals with performance-driven functionality. This GPU pushes the limits of realism and power, delivering exceptional speed, cooling, and next-gen rendering technologies for the most demanding experiences.

At its core lies NVIDIA’s RTX™ 5070 architecture, backed by 12GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory and 6144 CUDA cores, pushing frame rates at ultra-high resolutions with fluid, immersive gameplay. With clock speeds soaring to 2655MHz in Extreme Mode via MSI Center, the RTX 5070 VANGUARD SOC is your ultimate ticket to 4K and 8K gaming, advanced ray tracing, and AI-accelerated content creation.

What sets this GPU apart is its HYPER FROZR Thermal Design—MSI’s apex evolution of cooling technology. The synergy between STORMFORCE Fans and a vapor chamber-based heatsink ensures peak cooling efficiency while maintaining whisper-quiet acoustics. The square-core pipes, paired with Air Antegrade Fin 2.0 and Wave Curved 4.0 technologies, reduce turbulence and optimize airflow across the full cooling array. These advanced fins and airflow channels are tailored to guide heat swiftly away from the GPU, enhancing durability and sustained performance under heavy loads.

Additionally, the reinforced metal backplate not only improves rigidity and aesthetics but also includes thermal pads and airflow vents for passive cooling enhancements. Whether you're conquering cinematic open worlds, editing 8K video, or streaming your best gameplay moments, the RTX 5070 VANGUARD delivers uncompromising stability and top-tier thermals.

Equipped with DisplayPort 2.1b (x3) and HDMI™ 2.1b (x1) outputs, the card supports up to 8K at 120Hz or 4K at an astounding 480Hz, complete with G-SYNC®, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), HDR, and full DirectX® 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6 compatibility. A single 16-pin connector powers this 250W performance beast, and MSI recommends a 650W PSU for optimal headroom.

FEATURES:

• Extreme Clock Speed: 2655MHz (MSI Center)


• Boost Clock Speed: 2640MHz


• HYPER FROZR THERMAL DESIGN: An apex evolution of advanced thermal design.


• STORMFORCE Fan: Seven fan blades, claw texturing, and a circular arc are designed for optimal airflow.
