The Card

The MSI GTX 1070 Ti Gaming is virtually indistinguishable from the company's other Gaming Series cards, as the same cooler and backplate are used.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include a DVI port, one HDMI 2.0 port, and three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors.

Unlike previous-generation NVIDIA cards, the DVI port no longer includes the analog signal, so you'll have to use an active adapter. NVIDIA also updated DisplayPort to be 1.2 certified and 1.3/1.4 ready, which enables support for 4K at 120 Hz and 5K at 60 Hz, or 8K at 60 Hz with two cables.

The GPU also comes with an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 2.0b compatible, which supports HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies. The GPU's video-encoding unit has been updated to support HEVC at 10-bit and 12-bit.
