Question 1

How does the VGA MSI|RTX 5070 TI 16G SHADOW 3X OC R perform in terms of noise and heat?

Accepted Answer

It is much quieter and runs significantly cooler than the NVIDIA card I replaced. While it still generates some heat and fan noise under heavy load, it’s a major improvement over previous generations. I find it much more pleasant to use than my old card.

Question 2

What are its dimensions?

Accepted Answer

The card dimensions are 303 x 121 x 49 mm.

Question 3

Does the VGA MSI|RTX 5070 TI 16G SHADOW 3X OC R offer good rasterization capabilities?

Accepted Answer

The MSI SHADOW GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB graphics card is noted for its impressive performance on high game settings, which implies good rasterization capabilities. Users appreciate features such as DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation, though some report stability issues and that the card can run hot and loud at stock settings.

Question 4

Is the VGA MSI|RTX 5070 TI 16G SHADOW 3X OC R a good upgrade from a 3070 Ti?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's a big jump. You're going from 8GB to 16GB VRAM, Ampere to Blackwell architecture, and roughly 40% faster in rasterization. Ray tracing is where it really pulls ahead. The 3070 Ti can barely handle RT at 1440p  while the 5070 Ti runs it comfortably. You also get the newer NVENC/NVDEC media engines and DLSS 4 with frame generation. The MSI Shadow 3X OC is a solid cooler too. Power draw is nearly identical at 300W vs 290W, so your existing PSU should be fine.

Question 5

Will this gpu be compatible with the MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes
