Rank #5 in Best RTX 5070 Graphics Cards: 8 Ranked, £94.54 Apart on Identical Memory
MSI RTX 5070 12G Ventus 2X OC
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G VENTUS 2X OC sits fifth of eight in this guide at £727.99. It carries 12 GB of GDDR7 at 28 Gbps on a 192-bit bus, PCIe 5.0, DLSS 4 support and a factory overclock over the plain VENTUS 2X. That is £29 more than the cheapest card here and £65.54 less than the dearest — for the same 12 GB of memory on all eight cards.
Two numbers in the MSI advert do not agree with each other. The memory clock speed field reads 2557 MHz, which is exactly the figure given for the GPU clock speed in the same advert, so the memory clock looks like the core clock repeated rather than a separate measurement. The listing also gives two different weights: the bullet text says the card weighs 774 grams, while the item weight field says 1.14 kg. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it stands — we have not tested this card ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I've not had the card for long, but so far it seems to handle everything I've thrown at it on my 3440×1440 ultrawide monitor. Games look great, and the card itself is a nice, compact size that should fit in almost any case.Cooling seems perfectly normal. You can hear the fans spinning while gaming, but that's to be expected and nothing out of the ordinary.”
Verified purchase“Best Graphics yet I can play all games with max graphics, good quality, performance is good as well I haven't had lag since my old graphics, the noise is pretty quiet so pretty much silent, £599 is pretty good amount of money as I don't need to upgrade for many years”
