MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X TRIO Graphics Card Review

A Closer Look

If you’ve seen previous MSI Gaming X TRIO cards, then you’ll know they’re some of the most high-end and feature-packed cards on the market. The RTX 3070 Gaming X TRIO may be a lower down model vs the RTX 3080 and 3090, but it still gets the same enthusiast level hardware. The Tri Frozr 2 cooler is enormous and should make light work of cooling more powerful cards, so the “humble” RTX 3070 should be easy work for it.

It’s a very gamer-focused design, with lots of extreme angles, and a grey on black design that should really make the RGB pop. There’s some RGB slashing across the middle of the RGB, and you’ll find even more down the sides of the card and logos.

The fans are MSI TORX 4.0 fans, which feature ten blades that are actually joined into pairs making it a weird dual fan in a single fan design with an outer ring. It’s a shape I’ve never seen before, but it does look cool. Plus, the card has a zero RPM fan mode, so it’ll be completely silent in lower loads.

Down the side of the card, you’ll see plenty of airflow space for the huge heatsinks within, as well as the MSI and Nvidia logos.

On the back of the card, there’s a thick full-metal backplate. This gives the card added strength, but also helps with cooling performance too. There’s even a few large cut-outs at the back, allowing airflow from the fans to really shift a lot of extra heat.

Finally, at the rear of the card we have the display outputs, with three DisplayPorts and a single HDMI, you shouldn’t have any issues here.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
