Yesterday we covered a trio of great desktop CPU deals from AMD with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 5 7600, and the Ryzen 7 9700X. All three are great gaming SKUs, depending on the GPU you pair them with and the screen resolution. That was not the end of great hardware deals as later we also wrote on the PNY NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Epic-X that is on sale at under MSRP.
If you do not have the budget to spend on a 5080 and are instead looking for something that costs around half that price, this MSI Shadow 2X OC variant of the RTX 5070 is currently just $500 and could well be the lowest price any 5070 has ever hit (purchase link under the specs table down below).
Cooling on the Shadow 2X OC is handled by MSI’s TORX Fan 5.0 system which links fan blades together and is said to provide a more stable airflow. That’s paired with a nickel‑plated copper baseplate and redesigned core pipes for faster and better heat conduction away from the core. The backplate on the card isn’t just cosmetic either as it’s reinforced and vented to improve airflow. Speaking of cosmetics, there is no RGB so if you hate that, this one is probably for you.
