The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is based on the Blackwell architecture, NVIDIA’s most advanced. It integrates the new 4th generation RT Cores for real-time ray tracing, optimized for gaming at 1440p/QHD. Support for DLSS 4.0 (Deep Learning Super Sampling) with Multi Frame Generation technology allows for the multiplication of rendered frames through artificial intelligence.

The Shadow 2X OC variant is the factory overclocked version compared to the base Shadow 2X, designed for gamers and content creators who want the best without sacrificing the energy efficiency typical of the Blackwell architecture. MSI positions it as the ideal balance between value and performance.

12 GB GDDR7 at 28 Gbps on a 192-bit bus

The card features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory with a transfer rate of 28 Gbps on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth superior to previous generations of GDDR6X. This amount of VRAM is sufficient for high-resolution gaming in 1440p, professional 3D rendering, and AI and content creation workloads. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensures maximum communication speed with the latest desktop platforms.

The dual fan TORX Fan 5.0 cooling system from MSI utilizes paired blades with an optimized profile to maximize airflow while reducing turbulence. The ZERO FROZR (0 RPM) mode completely shuts off the fans under light load to eliminate noise in idle and light gaming sessions. The thermal system is complemented by:

Nickel-plated copper base plate for direct contact with the GPU
High-efficiency heat pipes for heat distribution
Large aluminum heatsink for maximum heat exchange surface
Thermal pads on VRAM and power components

The MSI RTX 5070 Shadow 2X OC adopts the Spartan design, characterized by a robust metal backplate with direct airflow that reinforces the PCB and prevents mechanical bending. The card occupies 2.5 slots, has a length of 231 mm, and weighs 724 grams. The SFF Ready certification makes it suitable for compact Small Form Factor builds.

Regarding available connectors, the rear panel features 3 × DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 × HDMI 2.1b, supporting up to 4 simultaneous monitors and resolutions up to 8K. Power is supplied via a 16-pin connector (600W Adapter) with a TDP of 250W; MSI recommends a power supply of at least 650W to ensure stability under maximum load. The reinforced PCB also includes advanced electrical protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits.
