Strength and Artistry

MSI envisioned the GAMING series as the favoured graphic cards solution for all sorts of gamers, including adventure seekers, esport competitors, livestream broadcasters, and more. GAMING reflects both the spirit of gamers and the intense performance within the cards with a styled exterior that erupts with colourful lights between bold lines and edges.

Tri Frozr 3 Thermal Design

Stay cool and quiet. MSI’s TRI FROZR 3 thermal design enhances heat dissipation all around the graphics card.

Torx Fan 5.0

• TORX FAN 5.0 is a culmination of fan design improvements to increase the air pressure and flow into the heatsink. Ring arcs link three sets of fan blades that tilt 22 degrees together to maintain high-pressure airflow even at slower rotational speeds. The resulting increased airflow is +23% compared to an axial fan.
• A fan cowl extends a bit beyond the general enclosure to lengthen the wind’s passageway, allowing airflow to stabilize and move smoother through the fans. Bulging notches under the cowl help to reduce recirculation, thus further improving airflow stability and reducing some noise.

Copper Baseplate

Facing the Heat Head-On

Heat from the GPU and memory modules is immediately captured by a solid nickel-plated copper baseplate and then rapidly transferred to an array of heat pipes. This widening of the thermal transfer systems with highly efficient mechanisms improves overall efficiency.

Core Pipe

Keeping the Core Cool

Core Pipes are precision-crafted to make maximum use of the available space. A squared section of heat pipes fully touch the GPU baseplate and spread the heat along the full length of the heatsink.

Airflow Control

Airflow Control improves airflow dynamics through the Wave Curved 2.0, updated deflectors, and Air Antegrade fin design for optimizing the balance between cooling and quieter acoustics.

Air Antegrade Fin

Fins with a V-shaped cutout are located at the airflow passthrough to improve flow efficiency. Optimizing the inclination angle and increasing the wave notch shapes the air resistance towards the centre, pushing out warm air faster like a nozzle.

Don’t Sweat the Details

Backplate

Metal Backplate

Thermal pads under the sturdy metal backplate provide additional cooling while the flow-through ventilation reduces trapped heat

Ball Bearing

Double Ball Bearing

Two sets of durable ball bearings spin the TORX FANS for years of intense and lengthy gaming sessions.

Zero Frozr

• The fans completely stop when temperatures are relatively low, eliminating all noise when active cooling is not needed.
• The fans will automatically start spinning again when the heat is on during gaming.

Hardening Every Detail

High-Efficiency Carbonyl Inductors (HCI)

Manufacturing and material improvements to our choke parts have culminated as High-Efficiency Carbonyl Inductors (HCI.) One-piece moulding allows this design to operate with less choke noise and better electrical filtering.

DrMos

DrMOS power stage solutions provide great efficiency with low power loss and enhanced voltage controls.

Relentless Defence

A die-cast anti-bending plate reinforces the whole card while thermal pads allow cooling to reach critical component underneath.

Your Support Character

A bundled support bracket can be attached to your PC case for additional graphics card reinforcement.

MSI Center

Bringing It All Together

MSI's exclusive MSI Center software helps you get the most out of your MSI products. Monitor, tweak, and optimize in real-time with just a few clicks.

Afterburner

Precision Controls, Unlimited Power

MSI Afterburner is the most recognized and widely used graphics card overclocking software in the world. Take full control of the graphics card while monitoring key system metrics in real-time. It’s free to use and compatible with most other vendor graphics cards.

One-Click Overclocking

OC Scanner
