MSI RTX 4070 GAMING TRIO 12G graphics card

12GB GDDR6X for 1440p gaming

The MSI RTX 4070 GAMING TRIO 12G is a refurbished graphics card built around the GeForce RTX 4070 GPU with 5888 CUDA cores and a 2475 MHz boost clock. Its 12GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 21 Gbps bandwidth suited for high-refresh 1440p play. The triple-fan cooler handles the 200W TDP inside a 338 mm ATX form factor. A single 16-pin connector draws power from a 650W PSU.

Upgrade from 8GB or PCIe 3.0

Moving up from an 8GB card removes the texture-memory ceiling that forces lower settings in current titles. The PCI Express 4.0 interface doubles link bandwidth versus 3.0, letting the GPU ingest assets faster when paired with a 4.0 motherboard and CPU. The jump is worth it when your monitor sits at 1440p or ultra-wide 1080p and you want consistent frame rates without dropping quality presets.

PCIe 4.0 x16 and display outputs

The card runs on a PCI Express 4.0 x16 slot; on a 3.0 platform it falls back to 3.0 speeds with a small throughput loss. Display connectivity covers 1 x HDMI 2.1a and 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a, driving up to four monitors at 7680 x 4320 maximum resolution. HDMI 2.1a supports 4K high-refresh panels, while DisplayPort 1.4a handles high-refresh 1440p and 4K with DSC.
