Test Setup
We are using an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-based system for testing. For 2025, we have upgraded our testing PC with completely updated components from top to bottom. We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest release BIOS. We have enabled PCI-Express Resizable BAR in the motherboard BIOS. We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory. We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates, including the 24H2 update. We have the latest drivers installed, including the latest chipset drivers. We are using the “Balanced” power profile in Windows Settings, Core Isolation/Memory Integrity (VBS) is enabled.

Join Discussion →Huge fan of x70 Ti cards and if I was on a tighter budget they'd be my go to choice. I think that typically they offer the best value for top tier prospects and this card is no exception. Thanks for these Project Zero reviews, they've been awesome!
I'm wondering how MSI envisions this card will look on a PZ motherboard and in a compatible case. I get that the cable is meant to be hidden, but this area of motherboards is usually pretty dense with connectors already, right? It would work better in a vertical mounting of course.
Just something I was looking for when reading the review!
Probably like the pictures in the case review - https://www.thefpsreview.com/2025/12/29/msi-project-zero-msi-mag-pano-100r-pz-gaming-pc-case-review
Looks like there might be a picture, but since the connection in the case isn't mentioned in the text or highlighted in a picture, I didn't pick it up the first time, is @Brent_Justice still editing these?
