NITRO-X BUNDLE

On average at 1080p, the 5800X3D is ~9% faster than the 12900K, which costs 30% more, and ~7% faster than the Core i9-12900KS, which costs a whopping 64% more. That means the Ryzen 7 58000X3D is now both the fastest gaming chip in our test suite and a better value for gaming specifically than the Core i9 models.

The MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming Z Trio is a premium implementation of the newly launched RTX 3070 “Ampere” performance-segment GPU. MSI has always managed to surprise us with the power, noise, and factory-OC optimization of its Gaming X and Gaming Z lines of premium custom-design graphics cards, and we have the same expectations from this one. The card looks almost identical to the MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio, which is a huge card. This means all that cooling muscle is being used to tame a GPU that’s much smaller and with 100 W less typical board power than the RTX 3080, which bodes well for the card’s noise and thermals on paper, right away.
