ASUS Exhibits TUF Gaming & PRIME Variants of the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT & RX 9070 16 GB “RDNA 4” GPUs

Press Release: With CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D gaining significant attention for their unparalleled gaming capabilities, you might consider assembling a new PC in 2025. You’ll require a powerful graphics card to fulfill your gaming aspirations. Today, you have more choices in that department than ever. We are broadening our selection of AMD-based graphics cards with Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 variants from TUF Gaming and Prime.

Features for the next generation

Equipped with the state-of-the-art RDNA 4 architecture and a generous 16GB of VRAM, these graphics cards are poised to provide exceptional gaming experiences for years ahead. The next-gen HYPR-RX technology ensures incredibly fast gaming performance, and you will experience heightened immersion with the latest AI-enhanced features from AMD, including an upgraded ray tracing experience.

A notable addition for this generation is a machine-learning-driven super-resolution mode compatible with select FSR 3.1 games, offering a remarkable balance of intricate visuals and smooth frame rates. DisplayPort 2.1 outputs provide outstanding bandwidth for maximizing resolution while accommodating elite refresh rates.

TUF Gaming takes the lead

We possess extensive experience in managing GPU temperatures while maintaining low noise levels, and we have applied that expertise to the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition and TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition.

This begins with a trio of eleven-blade Axial-tech fans that ensure a consistent, high-pressure stream of cooling air across a large airflow-optimized fin structure. 0dB technology enables these fans to halt entirely for quiet operation during less demanding tasks. Broad vents on the aluminum rear panel provide an easy exit for heat into the main airflow channel of your chassis.

Some gamers prefer optimizing their graphics cards for maximum performance, while others prioritize quiet operation. A physical Dual BIOS switch allows you to toggle between performance and quiet modes without needing to install extra software. For additional performance tuning options, convenient hardware monitoring, and detailed fan-control capabilities, download our complimentary GPU Tweak III software.

This generation introduces a new thermal interface for transferring heat from the GPU to the cooling solution, replacing the traditional thermal paste. Instead, the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 utilize a phase-change GPU thermal pad. This electrically non-conductive pad is solid at ambient temperatures but transforms into a liquid as it becomes warm. As it melts, it fills in microscopic voids between the GPU and thermal component, providing exceptional thermal conductivity and improved heat dissipation, ensuring peak performance even under intensive GPU workloads.

Furthermore, the phase-change thermal pads exhibit outstanding durability. They outlast standard pastes by a substantial margin, even for GPUs subjected to heavy usage. While we cannot guarantee that you will never need to repaste these graphics cards, we feel confident that it will be a considerable time before you contemplate doing so.

The phase-change thermal pad is merely one of the numerous features of the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 designed to deliver dependable performance over the long haul. These cards are fortified with a metal exoskeleton for structural integrity — adding a GPU holder will virtually eliminate GPU sag. Dual-ball fan bearings enable the fans to last up to twice as long as conventional designs. We choose military-grade components to ensure reliable power delivery and longevity, and we apply a PCB coating to guard against short circuits caused by moisture, dust, or debris. Additionally, our Auto-Extreme manufacturing process guarantees impressive longevity aligning with the TUF brand, ensuring your card will perform brilliantly in games for years ahead.

Many PC builders appreciate that TUF Gaming graphics cards feature a subtle design that integrates seamlessly with virtually any components available. For the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070, we are maintaining the distinctive rugged aesthetic of the series. An illuminated TUF Gaming logo on the card’s corner provides a personal touch, and it is compatible with Aura Sync to synchronize its lighting with the rest of your compatible equipment.

Prime graphics ensure efficient cooling in a compact design.

For those seeking exceptional PC performance on a budget, ASUS Prime components are an excellent choice — and this holds true for Prime graphics cards just as much as for Prime motherboards, PC cases, power supplies, and AIO coolers.

The Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition and Prime Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition incorporate a triple-fan cooling system into a streamlined 2.5-slot configuration. If you require exceptional gaming capabilities within a compact chassis, these cards could be precisely what you need. To ensure optimal cooling performance in their slimmed-down format, we modified the Axial-tech fans with a smaller hub that facilitates longer fan blades, and we encircled them with a barrier ring that enhances downward airflow.

The Prime versions of these graphics cards have several similarities with the TUF models. They utilize phase-change GPU thermal pads for ideal heat dissipation and enhanced durability. Dual-ball fan bearings ensure prolonged airflow compared to traditional designs, while our Auto-Extreme manufacturing technique guarantees established accuracy and reliability. Moreover, you will continue to benefit from 0dB technology, a dual BIOS switch, and the structural integrity provided by an aluminum rear backplate.
