GALAX Rolls Out GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HOF OC LAB Deluxe Series

[T0@st]

GALAX's Hall of Fame (HOF) graphics card family has welcomed another addition; their newest custom offerings house NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (GB203) GPUs. TechPowerUp's W1zzard reviewed a lower-end sibling card—GALAX's "1-Click OC White" model—that is provisioned to conform to Team Green's baseline MSRP ($750). By contrast, the freshly introduced GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HOF OC LAB Deluxe and Deluxe-X variants are expected to arrive at retail with significant premium upcharges—these are true flagships; featuring pre-binned GPU dies and high-end components. GALAX introduced its fancily-named GeForce RTX 5080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X model earlier last month, but hardcore enthusiasts will have to wait longer for an RTX 5090D-based sibling.

The GALAX GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HOF OC LAB Deluxe models are tipped to become world record breakers, due to their over-engineered makeup—prepped with a 14+6+6 phase power design. Quite fittingly, a signature (detachable) crown formation adorns several "Hall of Fame" shrouds—a similarly shaped cutout is present on HOF I/O brackets. VideoCardz believes that only two GeForce RTX 5070 Ti "Hall of Fame" SKUs will be released, instead of the expected four. Normally, GALAX introduces options that do not include their garish RGB-lit crown attachment. The publication noted a mere 30 MHz difference between Deluxe and Deluxe-X SKUs overclocked frequencies: 2580 MHz and 2610 MHz (respectively). Spec sheets reveal many shared traits; including gaming clocks of 2512 MHz, 300 W TGP (max. 350 W), and GB203 GPU. Visual analysis—of the bare HOF board—points to the utilization of Team Green's GB203-400 variant. VideoCardz reckons that the GALAX engineering team will be re-deploying the GeForce RTX 5080 HOF's PCB design, complete with 26 phase power design. The China-based AIB has not revealed price points for its two incoming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti HOF OC LAB Deluxe cards, but industry watchdogs anticipate costs going beyond $1000.

What TF are they smoking I've owned 2 HOF cards and love them but if true near or over double MSRP by the time tax and shipping added is a piss take and has to stop. My two previous HOF cards had a £100 premium which is fine for an OC card IMO anything more is extreme gouging.
Enough is enough!

I always thought it was silly to make Extreme cards for mid-range GPUs. Zero reason to do this.

It's all about getting the most flash and pazazz out of what a particular buyer can afford. Thing like this are effectively show pieces. I say more power to them.

The only thing I like about this video card is the white PCB. The price, the overall physical size and its intended purpose make no sense at all.

A HOF/top of the line SKU for the RTX 5080 or 5090, sure. But for a 5070 Ti? I guess if you can OC it to beat the RTX 5080 sure, but you would be spending the same amount of money as a MSRP RTX 5080.
