MSI unveils WoW-themed RTX 4070 Super Gaming Slim with swappable backplates

MSI has partnered with Blizzard to celebrate the 20th anniversary of World of Warcraft and the launch of its latest expansion, The War Within. To mark the occasion, the company has unveiled a special edition of the GeForce RTX 4070 Super Gaming Slim graphics card, featuring swappable backplates inspired by the game.

This unique graphics card showcases a striking gold and dark blue colour scheme, with magnetically attachable half backplate covers as its standout feature. The default backplate sports a dark blue colour, but users can select from 10 distinct half-backplates, each adorned with artwork from one of the World of Warcraft expansions. These can be combined to the user's liking. It's important to note that these custom backplates cover the exposed part of the heatsink, possibly impacting the card's airflow.

Based on the Gaming Slim model (non-X), the card comes with Nvidia reference clocks as standard: 2475MHz, which can be further boosted to 2490MHz by applying factory overclock settings using MSI Gaming software. MSI has confirmed a retail release for the RTX 4070 Super World of Warcraft Edition for August 26th.

The company will also give away a sample of this special graphics card as part of the “World of Warcraft Memories” event, running from August 26th to September 17th. Players are encouraged to share their favourite WoW experiences and tag relevant MSI social media accounts for a chance to receive this unique edition graphics card at no cost.

Besides the graphics card, participants can also get a copy of the World of Warcraft Collector's Edition. If the event reaches 60,000 participants (which most likely will since it has already crossed the 40,000 participants mark), MSi will also give away a World of Warcraft modded PC.

KitGuru says: Are you planning to participate in the giveaway, or would you prefer to buy the WoW-themed RTX 4070 Super Gaming Slim card directly from a retailer?
