MSI introduced the GeForce RTX 5050 Shadow 2X OC graphics card. At the time of this writing, this is MSI's only custom RTX 5050 graphics card model. The card is a premium factory-overclocked product, and is likely to be priced above the $249 NVIDIA MSRP for the RTX 5050. It is 19.6 cm in length, and 12 cm in height, while being strictly 2 slots thick. The card offers factory-overclocked speeds of 2602 MHz boost compared to 2570 MHz reference. The RTX 5050 is cooled by an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that appears to use a single nickel-plated copper heat pipe bent in an S-shape.

The heatsink is ventilated by a pair of premium MSI TorX 5.0 fans. This fan is used by MSI in many of its premium custom-design cards, it features a partially webbed impeller that's designed to maximize axial airflow. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Display outputs include three DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI 2.1b. Based on the 5 nm "GB207" silicon, the RTX 5050 features 2,560 CUDA cores across 20 SM, 80 Tensor cores, 20 RT cores, and 8 GB of 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory interface (320 GB/s memory bandwidth). The company didn't reveal pricing.

The GeForce RTX 5090 flagship graphics card may be a hot commodity in Asia due its dual-use in AI acceleration farms, and in the US it may be saddled with crippling import tariffs, besides unethical retail practices, but gamers in Europe have it good. ComputerBase.de reports that their price-tracker has detected RTX 5090 cards briefly available at prices lower than MSRP—a first for the RTX 5090 anywhere in the world.

The MSI RTX 5090 Ventus 3X OC was launched as an MSRP-priced card listed at USD $1,999. German retailer Mindfactory.de had the card listed at €1,999 including VAT, which would make this lower than the MSRP and street prices of RTX 5090 in the US and Asia. Hours later, the retailer corrected the price to €2,600. The general trend with graphics card pricing seems to be that EEA (European Economic Area) countries currently have the best pricing on graphics cards, due to their lower import tariffs than the US, relatively rare scalper gray-marketing, and lower demand cards like RTX 5090 for use-cases other than gaming or professional graphics.

The popular MSI Afterburner overclocking and hardware monitoring program will be updated in the near future, with support for AMD RDNA 4 hardware. Despite the Taiwanese manufacturer's semi-recent shifting away from modern Team Red gaming desktop/discrete graphics solutions, the Afterburner suite's developer has committed to getting official support—at least for current flagships—up and running with the next version. Fortunately, MSI and AMD continue to collaborate on the making of various motherboard models and Radeon iGPU-powered devices.

Last week, Unwinder (aka Alexey Nicolaychuk) outlined early details on the Guru3D discussion board: "as you know, due to some unknown reason MSI decided to skip RDNA 4 and focus on manufacturing NVIDIA GPU-based solutions only this (time) round. Meaning that I get no MSI RDNA 4 hardware samples for development, so there is no RX 9070 XT support in MSI Afterburner, yet. But I decided to close this gap myself, and grabbed a third party hardware vendor's 9070 XT special to add unofficial support for it. So next beta with RDNA 4 support is around the corner, and MSI Afterburner (AB) is a bit PowerColor AB now." As seen in an attached photo, Unwinder has picked up a barebones Reaper Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB model.

So far, the Taiwanese manufacturers have launched multiple barebones/budget, mid-range, sub-flagship, and ultra-premium graphics card designs—mostly spanning NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50-series. At Computex 2025, MSI unveiled a compelling "Retro Line"—by pulling from its back catalog, the veteran hardware firm can deploy extra varieties and flavors for the modern era. Certain PC hardware enthusiasts will have fond memories of MSI's mid-2000s graphics card portfolio—in particular, single-fan model options. VideoCardz has highlighted a pleasing ultra-compact form factor revival; powered by Team Green's GB206 "Blackwell" GPU. At the time of writing, MSI's PR department has not published any promo material.

Instead, a dedicated product page describes a prime "Retro Line" offering: "Cyclone is back. A legacy reborn for a new era—MSI CYCLONE returns with a frosted snow camo design that blends nostalgic charm with modern aesthetics, along with high-efficiency cooling performance." The brand's GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB CYCLONE OC SKU appears to be distinct from a similarly proportioned demonstration unit (presented at Computex, with an integrated display). Unlike their single-fan GeForce RTX 5060 8G INSPIRE ITX card design, MSI's updated CYCLONE model features an open-plan layout. According to an official description: "(our) thermal design concept mirrors the power of a cyclone storm, featuring an advanced aluminium-extruded sunflower radiator, dense fins, and two high-efficiency heat pipes that rapidly dissipate heat from the GPU and surrounding components." Apparently, this diminutive cooler is robust enough to temper an overclocked GPU.

MSI has prepared a new ITX-sized GeForce RTX 5060 8G INSPIRE ITX GPU. This compact powerhouse, coming in a GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB flavor, boasts a core clock that reaches an impressive 2,512 MHz (boost clock of 2,497 MHz), driving 3,840 CUDA cores alongside a substantial 8 GB of GDDR7 memory running at a lightning-fast 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus. Despite its 145 × 120 × 45 mm dimensions and 581 g weight, the card remains cool thanks to the STORMFORCE FAN design, featuring seven claw-textured blades in a circular arc to maximize airflow quietly, along with a copper-core sunflower radiator heatsink that combines a high-conductivity copper core with a sunflower-style aluminium radiator. A reinforcing backplate with an airflow vent lets exhaust air escape efficiently. Power consumption is 145 W via a single 8-pin connector, and MSI recommends a 550 W PSU. Outputs include three DisplayPort v2.1b ports and one HDMI 2.1b port (up to 4K 480 Hz or 8K 120 Hz with DSC). Users can select either GAMING or SILENT mode in the MSI Center, and overclocking is available through MSI Afterburner.

MSI has announced its new MAG series power supply units - the MAG A1000GLS PCIE5.

Complementing this is a custom CNC-machined backplate that not only reinforces the structural integrity of the card but also passively cools PCB hotspots, maintaining optimal performance under load.

MSI's Computex booth has prepared new products for everyone, even for overclockers in microATX form factors. The company has presented a microATX MPOWER B850E motherboard, as we expected the MPOWER series comeback, with a very simple visual layout, aiming to please overclockers and even extreme LN2 users, with little add-ons to obstruct operations. Based on the B850E chipset, it accommodates AM5 processors with up to 16 cores and 32 threads in the top-end AMD Ryzen 9 9950X SKU. There are two eight-pin CPU connectors instead of the regular single eight-pin connector, for more overclocking headroom. VRM phases are covered in low-profile heatsinks so that LN2 coolers, often large and chunky, don't interfere with motherboard elements, which would usually require removal and later thermal isolation. What is particularly interesting is the usage of two memory DIMM slots, which is ideal for overclocking as it requires less CPU signaling to the memory. For easy signaling, MSI's EZ dashboard integrates power, reset, clear CMOS buttons, and a debug LED for CPU status codes.
