Overview
Upgrading a desktop for current games is the job: the MSI Ventus puts NVIDIA's Ampere RTX chip on a compact twin fan card. It brings enhanced Ray Tracing Cores and Tensor Cores with fast graphics memory, and plugs into a PCI Express slot.
A short twin fan design makes it easy to fit in mid-size desktop cases, and the RTX feature set brings ray tracing to the upgrade. Power connector and supply requirements are missing from the listing, so check them against your power supply first.
Who it's for
Meant for a home-built or prebuilt tower that needs a ray tracing capable card. Small form factor builds should measure clearance, and laptops cannot take it at all.
Pros and cons
- Compact twin fan design
- Ray tracing and Tensor cores
- Three DisplayPort outputs plus HDMI
- Factory overclocked boost clock
- Power connector requirement not listed
- Narrow memory bus limits high resolutions
- Only a setup guide included
Performance notes
Frame rates depend on the GPU core clock, the graphics memory bandwidth set by its bus width, and how well the fans clear heat in your case. Case airflow decides how long the boost clock holds during long sessions. Ray tracing effects lean on the dedicated RT cores, and switching them on lowers frame rates.
