Per a press release yesterday and an official landing page, MSI is collaborating with Blizzard to release an RTX 4070 Super using its Gaming Slim cooler design and boasting World of Warcraft 20th Anniversary theming. The RTX 4070 Super Gaming Slim World of Warcraft edition leverages a unique, swappable design using "half backplates." The five full backplates are ten half backplates, and those halves can be mixed or left off the card as the end user pleases.
As seasoned Warcraft fans will be able to tell, each of the ten half backplates represents a different region or expansion made to World of Warcraft since the MMO was released. It makes the mix-and-matching capabilities, or the ability to highlight a single favored era of WoW, pretty exhaustive. It's an awe-inspiring level of customization for a GPU in a market where customization often begins and ends at simple (RGB) lighting controls.
