12GB GDDR7 graphics card
The MSI RTX 5070 12G SHADOW 3X OC uses the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU with 6144 CUDA cores and a 2542 MHz boost clock. It targets gamers and creators who need 12GB of video memory on a 192-bit bus for 1440p and 4K workloads.
PCI Express 5.0 interface limits
The card connects through a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and draws up to 250W through a single 16-pin power connector. A 650W power supply is recommended. The triple-fan cooler fits a 303 mm length, 121 mm height and 49 mm thickness ATX form factor.
28 Gbps effective memory clock
GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps across the 192-bit interface delivers the bandwidth that determines frame rates at high resolution. If your workload needs more memory capacity or a wider bus, a different tier is required.

Questions about this item
Should I pick this 12GB RTX 5070 or look for a model with more memory?
The card has 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus running at 28 Gbps. That capacity is fixed on this SKU; choose it if your workload fits in 12 GB, otherwise you need a different GPU.
What does the 2542 MHz boost clock actually deliver in games?
The GPU can hit 2542 MHz under load, backed by 6144 CUDA cores and 12 GB of 28 Gbps GDDR7. Real frame rates depend on resolution, settings and the rest of your system.
Will PCI Express 5.0 limit performance on my current motherboard?
The card uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 link and also works in PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 slots. Bandwidth scales with the slot version, but the GPU will run in any of them.
