The GALAX GeForce RTX 5070 1-Click OC graphics card comes inside a large cardboard box. The front of the package has a large "GeForce RTX" brand logo along with the "GALAX" logo in the top left corner and the "1-Click OC" series branding in the middle.
The packaging has put a large emphasis on the RTX side of things as the first feature enlisted by AIBs will be NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, Ray Tracing & DLSS support.
The back of the box is very typical, highlighting the main features and specifications of the cards. There's also a focus towards GeForce.com on each AIB card through which users can download the latest drivers and the GeForce Experience application, which are a must for gamers to access all feature sets of the new cards.
The sides of the box greet us with the large GeForce RTX branding. There's also the mention of 12 GB GDDR7 (RTX 5070) memory available on the card.
Outside of the box, the graphics card and the accessory package are held firmly by foam packaging. The graphics card comes with a few accessories and manuals, which might not be of much use for hardcore enthusiasts but can be useful for the mainstream gaming audience. The only useful one is the added 16-pin to 2x 8-pin power adapter. The card is nicely wrapped within an anti-static cover which is useful to prevent any unwanted static discharges on various surfaces that might harm the graphics card.
After the package is taken care of, I can finally start talking about the card itself. This card looks nice for SFF builders.
GALAX makes use of its brand-new 1-Click OC 2X design. The card measures 252 x 131 x 40.6 mm and weighs in at 1187 grams. The card features a 2-slot height, which is good.
Being a SFF (Small Form Factor) design, the card can be accommodated within the majority of PCs with ease without worrying about cooling or compatibility issues.
The back of the card features a solid metal backplate that looks stunning. The backplate offers a lot more functionality than just looks, which I will get back to in a bit.
In terms of design, GALAX has updated its Xtreme Cooling system, which makes use of a denser heat sink block.
The 1-Click OC series comes in both 2x (Dual-Fan) and 3x (Triple-Fan) configurations.
The card has RGB LED zones on the fans and the sides.
Coming to the fans, the card features the latest Wings 3.0 fan design. These fans feature 7 blades in 92mm frames. GALAX claims that the new fans provide 15% better air pressure, 5% lower noise out put, and 3C lower temperatures versus the previous generation.
GALAX also uses its Silent Extreme (Ultra-Quiet Operation) 0dB technology, which ensures that the fans don't spin at lower temperatures, avoiding unwanted noise output.
I am back to talking about the full-coverage, full metal-based backplate that the card uses. The whole plate is made of solid metal with rounded edges that add to the durability of this card. The matte black finish on the backplate looks great too.
The graphics card also comes with a compact PCB design, which means that the shroud, heatsink, and backplate are all extended beyond the PCB. The third fan blows air through the heatsink and blows it out from the cutouts that are situated at the very end of the backplate. There are cutouts in screw placements to easily reach the points on the graphics card.
With the outside of the card done, I will now start taking a glance at what's beneath the hood of this graphics card. The first thing to catch my eye is the large fin stack that's part of the heatsink that the card utilizes.
The heatsink has been designed to be denser by increasing the footprint. This includes the use of denser aluminum fins and bigger heat pipes.
There are a total of five heatpipes that connect to the central baseplate, which has dedicated portions for the GPU and memory contact.
I/O on the graphics card sticks with the reference scheme, which includes three Display Port 2.1b & a single HDMI 2.1 port.
The GALAX GeForce RTX 5070 1-Click OC comes with a single 16-pin connector to feed its 250W power rating.
