GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today launched the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards powered by unified AMD RDNA 4 compute units with enhanced ray tracing capabilities for an ultra-immersive experience across all key gaming resolutions. To satisfy gamers' pursuit of speed, performance, and visuals for a smooth and immersive experience, GIGABYTE offers the AORUS Radeon RX 9070 XT ELITE 16G, Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G, and Radeon RX 9070 GAMING OC 16G, catering to various gaming needs.

GIGABYTE has upgraded the WINDFORCE cooling system, balancing performance and thermal efficiency. The new Hawk Fan design minimizes turbulence and noise, resulting in up to a 53.6% increase in air pressure and a 12.5% increase in air volume without compromising acoustics. Server-grade thermal conductive gel is used to cool critical components such as VRAM and MOSFETs. This highly deformable, non-fluid gel provides optimal contact even on uneven surfaces and effectively resists deformation from transport or long-term use. Combined with advanced thermal technologies like a larger heatsink, vapor chamber and copper plate, these cards ensure optimal performance and quiet operation under demanding workloads.⁠



The AORUS ELITE graphics card is GIGABYTE's flagship air-cooled product, engineered for hardcore gamers seeking uncompromising performance and advanced thermal solutions. Its innovative WINDFORCE cooling system, featuring the new Hawk fan, multiple heat pipes, and Screen Cooling, ensures optimal thermal performance even under the most demanding workloads.

The AORUS series redefines next-gen aesthetics, embodying speed and power to deliver stunning visual experiences. Every detail is meticulously crafted for absolute velocity and unwavering strength. Amplifying the AORUS Dynamic "RGB Halo" lighting, swirling patterns and vortex-inspired designs encircle the fan, weaving a mesmerizing interplay of light and motion that transforms your PC into a captivating visual spectacle. The front showcases layered textures with varying finishes, harmoniously blending strength and elegance.

The AORUS ELITE graphics card features aerospace-grade PCB coating, a Dual BIOS design with a Silent operation mode, and ULTRA DURABLE certified components. Thanks to its advanced power design and precise power control, the graphics cards operate with lower component temperatures, reduced noise, and minimized signal interference.



GIGABYTE's GAMING series graphics cards have become a legend among gamers for their exceptional performance and unwavering reliability. Stunning customizable fluid RGB lighting infuses your gaming rig with unique personality. The all-new GAMING series elevates personal expression with a clean, modern aesthetic and an innovative sliding side plate that allows gamers to effortlessly craft a truly personalized gaming setup.



To enhance the structural integrity of GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics cards, we implemented a reinforced structure. The reinforced metal backplate with a bent edge, securely fastened to the I/O bracket, provides exceptional structural integrity. Additionally, the AORUS Elite model includes a versatile VGA holder in the box. Our newly designed VGA holder offers dozens of customizable mounting options, ensuring your graphics card is securely supported and prevents sagging. Its sleek design allows for discreet installation, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your system.

The GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics cards deliver an unparalleled gaming experience for mainstream gamers. Powered by the latest AMD technologies, including AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4, AMD HYPR-RX, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2, AMD Radeon Anti-Lag, and AMD Radeon Boost, these cards harness the power of AI to provide stunning visuals and incredibly smooth gameplay, immersing gamers in the game world and ensuring years of exceptional gaming enjoyment.

Does "Versatile VGA holder manual" means you have to hold it with your hand, "manually"? :laugh:

I've got to say the Aorus version would fit really nicely with my X570S Aorus Elite Mobo. Would love to have a full review of the card, including a review of the board and its components compared to the gaming version. I want to make sure I pay $200 more for a reason (no coil whine, more OC possibilities, better cooling) outside of marketing statements.

There's a video on Youtube that compares an Asus Tuf RTX 5070 Ti VS an MSI one, and the MSI board ends up being half the size of the Asus with cheaper components soldered hastily. It's not something I ever read in tests but I think it would be great to have a physical snapshot of the card in tests.

LEft = Asus | Right = MSI | same 5070 Ti model
