Our next card for review is a lower-midrange Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. MSI sent their RTX 5060 Ti 16G Gaming OC version, which features a dual fan Twin Frozr 10 Thermal Design and RGB lighting. It won’t be the center of attention in your chassis, as the large fans dominate the front, leaving little room for embellishments. However, the RGB lighting accents add some flair to the otherwise plain-looking card.

The next card on the test bench is the midrange Nvidia Geforce RTX 5070. In our case, MSI’s Vangaurd SOC Edition comes with unique packaging and a special surprise box where you get one of several Lucky figures. Oh, and there’s a pretty good video card in the box too. The Vanguard GPU offers robust cooling using their tri-fan Hyper Frozr Thermal design, while aesthetically, it has a black on silver shell with a line of RGB lighting slicing through the face.
