We have enabled PCI-Express Resizable BAR in the motherboard BIOS. We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory.

SUMMARY

The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16G VANGUARD SOC LAUNCH EDITION improves gaming performance with this factory overclocked "SOC" model, giving it an edge over a reference clocked video card. It manages to pull in great power utilization performance and efficiency, and it overclocks extremely well up to 3.2GHz with no fuss. It overclocks easily on auto fans, and stays quiet while gaming, even overclocked. It remains very cool and has incredible cooling and a very solid build. The VANGUARD series from MSI is a striking design. It's value is diminished with pricing and availability, it's enticing, at the right price.
