Diferencias clave

• Raw performance is a blowout: the MSI scores 28,703 on PassMark G3D vs 12,028 for the ASRock, and 14,588 vs 4,886 on GPU Compute. That's not a small gap, it's a different league.
• VRAM and memory tech: the MSI has 12GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, while the ASRock makes do with 8GB of GDDR6 on a wider 256-bit bus. The wider bus helps the ASRock, but it can't overcome the older, slower memory.
• Size matters here. The MSI is a chunky 338mm triple-fan card that needs a big case, while the ASRock is a more modest 271mm dual-fan design that fits in smaller builds. Owners of the MSI consistently mention checking case clearance before buying.
• Power draw is the one spec where the ASRock wins clean: 175W TDP vs 250W for the MSI. If you're running a smaller PSU or care about heat and electricity, that's a real consideration.
• User sentiment backs up the specs. The MSI holds a 4.7/5 rating from over 2,000 reviews with owners praising 1440p performance and cool, quiet operation, though some gripe about driver issues and the 12GB VRAM ceiling. The ASRock sits at 4.5/5 from 135 reviews, which is fine, but the sample size is tiny and the performance ceiling is much lower.
