MSI has unveiled its latest collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment, celebrating the launch of World of Warcraft: Midnight with two neatly designed graphics cards. This time around, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 is in the spotlight, bringing the legendary forces of Azeroth to your PC and letting you choose between joining the Light or Void.
Both cards are inspired by the eleventh expansion for World of Warcraft, dubbed Midnight and released March 2, 2026. As such, they draw design clues from the elven lands of Quel’Thalas – where the fate of Azeroth hangs between Light and Void. The Void variant embodies the rising Voidstorm, featuring sharp lines and dark elements that reflect the power of darkness. This includes a dark blue front frame, black fans with WOW logos, and a backplate with WOW Midnight art.
In contrast, the Light edition radiates the legacy of Azeroth with its yellow/gold shroud and fans once again adorned with WOW logos on each hub. This time, the light force takes the prime spot on the back plate alongside more WOW art, but the Void remains close, as represented by the dark-blue half of the plate.
While both designs look great to me, I might have preferred the design showcase from Gamescom 2025, which I thought did a great job of illustrating the battle between light and void. Whichever variant you favour, you’ll find a 2.5-slot MSI Tri Frozr 4 cooling solution, delivering efficient cooling, quiet operation, and sustained performance during intense gaming sessions. You also get a colour-matching GPU support stand.
Powered by Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture, this limited-edition RTX 5070 offers the same upper-mid-range performance as its regular siblings, but in a unique style. Under its gold or dark blue cooler sits a GB205 GPU packing 6,144 CUDA cores alongside 12GB of 28Gb/s GDDR7 memory linked via a 192-bit bus. Based on our testing of the RTX 5070 Founders Edition, you can expect around 128fps in AC Mirage, 152fps in FF XIV Dawntrail, and 72fps in Forza Motorsport at QHD resolution.
Such credentials put it between last-gen RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070 Ti Super, which in ordinary times ought to be good enough to enjoy high graphic fidelity without breaking the bank. Unfortunately, these aren’t ordinary times. The ongoing memory crisis, coupled with the fact that these are limited edition cards, suggests pricing could be a stumbling block. French tech store LDLC lists a €829 price for this card in limited quantities, but I suspect you’ll need to be prepared to hand over a good amount more if you want to guarantee getting your hands on one.
