Power and Temperature
Power
Here, we see a pretty tight grouping at the middle and two outliers. When run at default, the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G GAMING TRIO OC uses between 6% and 10% less power. Things are pretty equal once we overclock, but we gain performance and use no more power than the competition. The rabbit is always the most hungry. The MSI GeForce RTX 5070 GAMING TRIO OC seems to be a very efficient video card.
Temperature
Default or overclocked, we see a nice demonstration of the heatsink on the MSI GeForce RTX 5070 12G GAMING TRIO OC. With fan speed never off default, the temperatures simply don’t change. That, and you hear nothing. That’s pretty good right there. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC White Gaming Edition shows off its design function by having the lowest temperatures.
