From a 3070 to a 5070ti. What a difference!

Expensive but so worth it and a better value that a 5080 because its literally 85% of the 5080 performance for $300 less on average. Zero regrets making this purchase. Coming from a 3070, its amazing how much better cyberpunk 2077 looks. Temps with cyberpunk stay around the mid 60s(undervolted 80% max power) whereas is was low 70s without undervolting(definitely case dependent, i dont have alot of fans) No coil-whine or any fan noise even under heavy load. I do recommend undervolting( MSI afterburner) so you'll use less power and lower temps but keep the performance. It is a HUGE card! barely fit in my h510i case so if you're running a mid sized case, keep that in mind. its not a SFF card. Comes with a good quality anti sag brace and the 12VHPWR adapter. I cant speak on the adapter quality because i didn't use that part in my build but im sure its good. Also to note, I don't like MSI lighting suite so will recommend using another program. Other than that minor grip, I love this card and ill gladly recommend it to anyone else

Good looking card. The supplied GPU stand/lift is nice. Fans run quiet and temps stay cool. Only issue I have is that the price dropped $150 a month after my purchase. It would be nice if Best Buy had a 1 -3 month price guarantee.

I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't had any issues so far. I did use MSI Afterburner to undervolt and reduce the power draw and temps, and it's been running under 50 c even at mid to high ray tracing in Cyberpunk at 1440p and giving 70-90 fps consistently. It could probably even handle more but the game looks great as is. I didnt notice any difference between gaming and silent mode so I just leave it on silent. It is quiet for the most part but every once in awhile there still will be a loud coil whine or fan sound, which I feel like at $850-1000 it should not have. I also would not have bought it if it hadn't gone on sale for $850+tax but I'm happy to have it as I've been preparing to upgrade my VRAM and this fits my needs. I'd also not have to fight with everyone for a super card that has more power draw and more VRAM than I need.
I do want to mention though that the size of this GPU should NOT be underestimated. I watched so many videos when researching which GPU to buy and for some reason it just never clicked for me how big it is. I have a mid-sized ATX case and it just BARELY fit after turning it sideways then shimmying it into place, with 2cm between my front fans and the end of the GPU. The 12 pin adapter that comes with the GPU also does not fit in my case if I try to put the side panel back on. For a GPU this expensive and of this size it's baffling to me that they wouldn't include an angled adapter instead and is one of the reasons I can't rate this 5 stars.

Strong graphics card. I used the anti sag bracket. The multiframe generation technology is much better than I anticipated. Frame rates are about 330-370 DLSS Native as high as I could crank the settings and 480-510 with DLSS Quality in War Thunder in 1440p. I think I'm going to invest into a 4k display with displayport 2.1 perferrably and then tune the settings accordingly. This card also streams great with Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). The card rarely goes above 70 degrees celsius. I use a 250+ Mhz overclock on MSI Afterburner. Overall, I highly recommend the MSI Gaming Trio OC RTX 5070 Ti.

This MSI 5070 Ti is an absolute beast for 1440p and even holds its own at 4K. I upgraded from a 4070 Ti Super and immediately noticed smoother gameplay and better frame rates in pretty much every game I threw at it.
The triple-fan cooler keeps things quiet and cool, even during long gaming sessions. And with 16GB of GDDR7, it’s ready for future games without breaking a sweat.
DLSS 4 is wild—games look better and run faster. For the price, it outperforms anything else in this range. If you want a future-proof, high-performance card without spending $1,000+, this is it.

After spending time with the MSI RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC, I can say this card feels like MSI took the best parts of their high-end design philosophy and doubled down. It’s one of those GPUs where the first thing you notice is the size — it’s huge, heavy, and looks like it came out of a sci-fi reactor core. But once it’s installed and running, the power instantly makes sense.
Performance — It’s unapologetically fast
This card doesn’t “kinda” run games at high resolution — it crushes them.
1440p? Maximum everything, triple-digit FPS, even in modern AAA titles.
4K? It handles it like it’s finally the resolution GPUs were meant for.
What stands out is how smooth everything feels, especially when ray tracing and DLSS are involved. NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture + the big jump in RT cores and Tensor performance gives it that next-gen feel. Even games that normally stutter or struggle on weaker cards feel confident on this one.
Thermals & Noise — MSI nailed the cooling
MSI’s Tri Frozr 4 cooler is honestly one of the highlights.
You’d expect a GPU this powerful to sound like a jet engine. But no — the fans stay whisper-level quiet, even under heavy load. Temperatures stay surprisingly cool:
• Idles low
• Gaming load stays well within safe, comfortable ranges
• Zero thermal throttling
It’s the kind of cooler that feels over-engineered in the best way, like MSI wanted it to stay cool even in the Sahara.
Build Quality — Premium from every angle
The card feels expensive.
The metal shroud, the weight, the RGB that doesn’t look tacky — everything gives “flagship” energy. MSI always does well here, but this one feels especially refined.
You can tell this isn’t a budget trim. It’s meant to stand out in a case window.
Power & Space — Be prepared
This is where the card demands respect:
• It’s long. You need a case that isn’t shy about GPU space.
• It uses the 16-pin power connector and likes a 750W+ PSU.
• Cable management matters because of its sheer physical footprint.
Not a dealbreaker, but you can’t force this beast into a cramped mid-tower and hope for the best.
Day-to-Day Use — Fast, stable, and surprisingly efficient
Outside of gaming, everything feels snappier:
• Video editing and rendering benefit from the 16GB of GDDR7.
• AI tools, 3D modeling, and heavy multitasking feel smoother.
• Multi-monitor setups are fully supported with modern DP 2.1 and HDMI ports.
It’s not just a gaming card — it’s a workhorse if your PC doubles as a productivity machine.
The honest downsides
Nothing is perfect, so here’s what I’d call out:
• Price: It’s premium-priced, and you definitely feel that.
• Size: This card is not for small cases.
• Overkill for some: If you’re only gaming at 1080p, this GPU is more than you’d actually use.
But for what it delivers, the performance-to-experience ratio is excellent.

Upgraded from a 3070 to this 5070Ti and the difference is night and day! Runs cooler than my 3070 and uses less power. I can’t even hear the card when it’s at max power! Very well built, MSI did not miss with this card!

When compared to the scams that happen on Amazon, I was more than happy to buy from BestBuy to know that I wasn't going to get a literal brick. Plays all the games I want on high settings and just works great. No complaints.

Great video card! Runs bf6 buttery smooth at 1440p and pretty strong in 4k.
After watching prices on Nvidia and amd cards for a few weeks, the 5070ti was discounted and just had to pull the trigger

I’ve noticed a significant increase in my computer’s performance. I have a personal built computer that I’ve had for seven years and this is now running smoother than ever on the hardest intense games. Love this product love everything about it would recommend.
