MSI GeForce RTX 4070 VENTUS 2X 12G OC Graphics Card - RTX 4070 GPU, 12GB GDDR6X (21Gbps/192-bit), PCIe 4.0-2 x TORX Fan 4.0 - HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 1.4a

I was in the market for a new GPU as my older 1060 6GB started struggling with newer AAA titles, especially on higher resolutions. Personally, I am more interested in higher resolutions at stable/playable framerates (in and around 60 FPS), than higher framerates at lower resolutions. At first I was pretty skeptical as to whether or not I'd be able to actually play any games at 4K resolutions with this card, as it is primarily marketed toward 2K gamers. But I was positively surprised when I saw that this card could run newer titles like MW2 on 4K at a stable 60 FPS on high/ultra settings! I've also tested a few indie titles, as well as some games that are rather poorly optimized - and still, the card kept up the good work at 4K! I cannot speak for every title out there, but I am fairly confident that the 4070 will give most newer games a run for their money! For reference, I have an older build with an i7-8700, 32 GB DDR4 RAM, and a smaller mid-tower case with a not so beefy PSU. At first, I was dreading the idea of buying a modern GPU, simply because most cards nowadays are incredibly large in size, and draw an immense amount of power on high loads. But what a breath of fresh air it was to see a GPU of this kind coming in at only 24 cm, with a TDP of only 200W! I genuinely thought that this card would overheat and throttle as a result, but after several hours of gaming at high loads, the temperatures seemed to remain stable at 60-65 degrees Celcius (which admittedly, for a dual-fan GPU is pretty good!). And as advertised, the power consumption also stayed around the 200W mark. That said, I am quite impressed with this GPU. I know that a lot of reviewers out there are giving this card a thumbs down, which seems to be mostly due to the performance to price ratio. And while one can argue that (at the time of writing), €670 for a mid-tier GPU is pricy (and I would generally agree, even for the European market!), the matter of fact is that from a price point of view there aren't many options if you want a GPU with a low TDP, small form factor, a decent amount of VRAM to keep you going for a few years, and the newest technologies such as DLSS 3.0. If size and power draw isn't a concern for you, then definitely give the 6000-series from AMD your consideration, but I am personally very happy with my decision to buy this card in the end even if it came at a steep price, simply because it fit my use case. This card will definitely not be for everyone out there, but given some of the unique features of this card then I definitely think it has a place in the current market. Though, it would be nice though to see prices for future Nvidia releases drop to what they used to be for the older generations, as this would enable even more people to enjoy the newest technologies.

I was hesitant to upgrade my 3070 but being daft with money, I bought this. Happy with the purchase though and have seen a bigger improvement in frames per second than what I was expecting. What impressed me the most though is how much more efficient it is over my old 3070 triple fan cooler - this is smaller and I was a bit concerned at first with cooling. I didn't need to worry though because this runs a lot cooler than the 3070. I've not seen it go over 65 degrees and I run it on my sim rig driving 4 monitors which pretty much gives it a lot of work to do. If you value money more than I do, I would say it's not worth the upgrade from a 3070. But it's a very good upgrade without going down the even more expensive 4080/4090 route. This has easily managed everything I've thrown at it so far.

I bought this as it is far superior to the 4060TI and is one of if not the cheapest 4070 around. Was concerned around performance compaired to the triple fan but was also drawn to the fact of its size (approx 240mm long) and the praticality of fitting it in a reasonably small case. I have to say I am impressed with the performance running along side a 13th gen I7, 16GB DDR5 ram and a reasonably fast M2 SSD. Nothing has phased it yet and it doesnt run hot. Not had any issues with excessive fan nose or the fans on the card running at warp speed. Really impressed and glad I didnt spend another £300 plus for a 4070TI or a tripple fan version.

After deliberating for a few months, mainly due to weighing up the cost against the performance upgrade from my MSI RTX 3060 Ventus , I decided to buy . Excellent decision, easy installation and the power connector exactly the same as old card so the lead just plugged straight in and in the Sam position so didn't have to redo my neat and tidy cable loom. Did a clean install of the 40 series nvidia drivers and let the fun begin. I have a Intel core i5 9600k cpu running at 4.2ghz, 32gb of ddr4 3200 ram with corsair liquid cooling. My 3600 ran games OK but I can now play Control, MSFS 2020 in 4k on ultra smooth as you like! Pico 4 pcvr gaming is now clearer and faster, playing Half Life Alyx on ultra and it is smooth as you like and loads quickly , looks fantastic! Bit more than I really wanted to pay but my gaming experience and enjoyment more than makes up for the cost! Highly recommended.

Good value

Still running good lovely item

this product has some serious bang for your buck, some real power. the double bearings on the fans allow for high speed cooling, I barely manage to push it above 60 degrees Celsius running the latest Call of Duty on max settings. however it does require to separate connections to your Power Supply, I do recommend it for anyone who wants high performance in games.

I bought this as part of a new Ryzen 7 build that I wanted primarily for MS Flight Simulator - my old overclocked I5 7600K/ RTX 2060 build was pretty much stretched to its limit and the simulation got quite choppy at times. This by comparison is ridiculously fast, and has no trouble running the game at all, at refresh rates way above what my monitor can handle, even at max settings. I had not realised how much I was missing, especially quality volumetric effects i.e. mist and clouds. Also it is pretty quiet, I cannot really tell the difference between this and the MSI Gaming Twin Frozr RTX 2060 despite its massively increased processing power. Time to treat myself to a new monitor to take advantage of all those frames!
