Remember when MSI asked the community to decide which faction should take over the design cues of its World of Warcraft-themed GPU? Turns out the vote didn’t matter that much, as the company decided to release both versions of the graphics card anyway, in line with World of Warcraft: Midnight’s official launch yesterday.

MSI Announces WoW-Themed GeForce RTX 5070 GPU In Two Versions

The special edition GPU is split into two variants: the Void Edition, and the Light Edition. Essentially, both are the same card as MSI’s GeForce RTX 5070 GAMING TRIO OC with a different shade of paint with the Void edition predominantly in dark blue, with half of its backplate flipped to gold colors, while it’s vice versa for the Light Edition. Each card comes with color-matching 12V-2Γ—6 adapters, and the GPU stand that is replaced with WoW logo.

Here’s a quick recap of both cards’ specs: the RTX 5070 silicon features 6,144 CUDA cores, paired with 12GB of 28Gbps GDDR7 VRAM via 192-bit memory bus, while the core clocks are rated for 2610MHz boost (+98MHz, ~4% overclock), though this can be further raised to 2625MHz via MSI Center software. It requires 250W of power via a single 12V-2Γ—6 connector, and the display outputs involve three DisplayPort 2.1b, plus one HDMI 2.1b.

MSI says both cards are now globally available β€œin limited quantities”, though the company stopped short of announcing the MSRP on its press release. Still, in this kind of economy, don’t expect it to be cheap – especially when supply for 12GB GPUs are potentially dwindling as companies are working through the memory shortage situation.
