Next up is Gigabyte’s AORUS GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Master. Like the RTX 5090 Master Ice we looked at a few weeks back, it’s another flagship-class SKU and with it’s cool design and small LCD screen, stands out from the crowd like its big brother. Packed with nearly the same features, it’s sure to turn some heads in the looks department. This mid-range card delivers solid performance, competing closely with the previous generation RTX 4080 and AMD’s RTX 9070 XT, often outperforming the latter.

MSI’s X870E Tomahawk WiFi is a well-rounded sub-$400 offering, featuring a wide variety of capabilities, including 40 Gbps Ports, capable power delivery, EZ DIY, and AI features. It doesn’t stand out as the best among its peers, but it is certainly a viable option in the space.

The next card in our lab is the flagship Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Master Ice 32G. We have had this card for a while now, and with inventory levels increasing and prices stabilizing or even trending downward, you may start to see it on store shelves. The Master Ice truly stands out, featuring a white chassis, RGB-tipped fans, and a small LCD monitor at the end. Under the hood, it boasts a robust power delivery system capable of handling around 600W.

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.

Today, we present Overclockers.com’s first 5000 series Blackwell-based video card review. The new Blackwell architecture promises increased performance through various methods, including introducing DLSS4 (from 3) and neural rendering, where the GPU uses generative AI to create parts of a frame. This new technology comes from a huge GB202 monolithic die built on the same 5nm (TSMC 4N) and uses the first implementation of GDDR7 vRAM and a PCIe 5.0 connection.
