MSI RTX 4070 Super Gaming X Slim MLG Review: Skinny Version Packs a Punch!

Today, on our test bench, we have another ‘Super’ card, but this time, it’s the MSI RTX 4070 Super Gaming X Slim MLG. What a mouthful! Outside of the obvious that it’s a 4070 Super and slim compared to the 3-slot plus monsters we’re used to seeing, the MLG version (where their Dragon, Lucky, turns into the Dragon Princess) sports red highlights, and it includes a magnetic backplate with a picture of their anime-style princess.

MSI RTX 4060 Ti Gaming X Trio Review: Ada Lovelace for 1080p is here!

Last week, Nvidia announced the latest additions to their 4000 series/Ada Lovelace-based video cards. The new GPUs hit the scene with a more affordable price point and a bit less vRAM, which is a hot topic of conversation in many forums. Starting at $399 for the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB version and $499 for the 16GB, on the outside looks like a good deal. But you’ll see by the conclusion the value proposition of this less expensive 1080p-targeted card isn’t where consumers want it to be.  Like its older brothers, you get everything that makes up Ada Lovelace, including 4th-gen Tensor cores, 3rd-gen Ray Tracing cores, DLSS3 capability, 8th-gen AV1 encoders, and more.

MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming X Trio 12G Review: Affordable Ada Lovelace?

After October and Nvidia’s RTX 4090 release, users were met with the scary reality of high-priced graphics cards. Now this trend has been happening for generations now, but it’s still a tough pill to swallow. Today marks the release of Nvidia’s RTX 4070, which aims to offer top-notch performance at a less scary price. Starting at $599, many will still consider this card overpriced, but it’s more affordable than the RTX 4070 Ti we recently reviewed and doesn’t lose a lot of performance against it.
