Taiwanese press outlets have put a spotlight on an inexplicably devised "GIGABYTE RTX 5090 Super Bundle." According to regional reports, a local company—Deyuan Computer—has listed this unusual multi-piece package on Taiwan's MOMO e-commerce platform. GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards are a hot commodity nowadays—unfortunately, limited supplies and scalping activities have created a volatile environment for regular punters. Retail outlets have implemented various "nifty" sales methods in attempt to create a fairer buying environment—pre- and post-launch. Hong Kong's HKEPC Media has acknowledged that locals are very used to a "bundling culture" that requires the purchase of superfluous extra items.

By comparison, these offerings look quite reasonable when lined up against a Taiwanese business dealing in staggeringly silly combination platters. To claim ownership of a single GIGABYTE RTX 5090 GAMING OC graphics card, potential buyers are strong-armed into adding forty(!) GIGABYTE H610M-K-DDR4 motherboards to virtual shopping carts. A grand total expenditure of NT$191,500 (~$5832 USD) unlocks "GIGABYTE RTX 5090 Super Bundle" ownership. By itself, the high-end/award-winning GIGABYTE graphics card would cost NT$91,900 (~$2796 USD). An individual entry-level H610M-K-DDR4 Micro ATX model comes in at NT$2490 (~$76 USD). Willing customers will have to deal with an inventory of slightly outdated motherboards—a full build's worth of components would make more sense. Around late January, Taiwan's AutoBuy advertised an anti-scalping deal for GeForce RTX 5080 cards—requiring shoppers to load up on parts for a near complete Intel Core Ultra 200S CPU-based system.

Earlier today, GALAX unveiled a brand-new custom GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card—according to ITHome, this offering marks the debut of the manufacturer's FIRE product series. This nomenclature has raised eyebrows across Western press outlets—given recent "high temperature" events involving NVIDIA "Blackwell" GPUs; GALAX's latest introduction seems to be a bit clumsy (timing-wise). The freshly introduced triple-fan model sports a "Cyber Black Flame" design; promotional imagery showcases an almost all-black aesthetic. The shroud features carbon fiber texturing and pattern-embossed sections. Its backplate displays prominent white GALAX branding and GeForce RTX text. The FIRE's cooling system is referred to as "wandering star."

According to its specification sheet, the GALAX GeForce RTX 5070 FIRE 12 GB model sticks closely to Team Green reference points. Currently, TechPowerUp's GPU database lists four GB205 GPU-based GALAX SKUs—in 1-Click or EX Gamer forms—all factory overclocked affairs. ITHome's report does not mention any price point for the debut FIRE card, but expectations point to a possible baseline MSRP conformant release in China. GALAX has prepped the GeForce RTX 5070 FIRE with a very barebones dual-slot design—akin to MSI's relatively new SHADOW 3X series. The GeForce RTX 5070 SHADOW 3X model also adheres to NVIDIA reference specs, including a TDP rating of 250 W.

Last week, AMD teased an upcoming launch of Radeon RX 9060 Series graphics cards. A Q2 2025 release window was mentioned at the tail end of their special RDNA 4 conference event, held in Beijing on February 28. TechPowerUp's GPU database has listed a mysterious Radeon RX 9060 XT 12 GB model for the past month (or two); this entry was updated with new information last week. Speculative points of interest include a "Navi 48 LE" GPU variant, GDDR6 memory (with an 128-bit interface), and 150 W TDP rating. Since then, leakers have proposed various Radeon RX 9060-class configurations and generated theories about performance. In search of concrete evidence, harukaze5719 turned to a trusty source of pre-launch info: EEC registries.

Earlier today, the South Korean PC hardware enthusiast discovered freshly-lodged Acer model names and codes. Easily identifiable unannounced SKUs include the Predator BiFrost RX 9060 XT OC 16 GB and RX 9060 XT OC 8 GB cards. Various "AN-RX9060XT-XXX-OCC" and "PB-RX9060XT-XXX-OCC" identifiers suggest a well-populated lineup of "Acer Nitro" and "Predator BiFrost" budget-friendly options. The Taiwanese manufacturer has already launched related Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 models at retail. According to the VideoCardz insider network, Team Red and board partners are tipped to release the cheaper end of RDNA 4 in April. The Radeon RX 9060 Series could launch within the same timeframe as rumored 16 GB and 8 GB GeForce RTX 5060 variants.

XFX appears to be lining up separate tranches of Radeon RX 9070 Series graphics cards for different markets; Chinese media outlets have reported a wide-spanning lineup of "domestic" and "overseas" edition SKUs. VideoCardz has spotted another potential China-exclusive model—their past weekend investigative piece put the spotlight on a Radeon RX 9070 XT dual-fan SWIFT design. This variant was found on XFX's Tmall e-tail store. The manufacturer's Chinese language official site does not list this curiosity, and recent press material has focused on a lineup of triple-fan cooled solutions. XFX's Western web presences do not allude to any twin-fan variants within the MERCURY, QUICKSILVER, or SWIFT classes.

AMD's recent full-fledged introduction of RDNA 4 included promotional renders of reference card designs, but the launch of Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 involves an entirely board partner-manufactured pool of SKUs. The XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT SWIFT dual-fan model is priced exactly at the level of Team Red's regional guide MSRP: 4999 RMB (including VAT). It likely serves as a direct alternative to an absent AMD-built dual-fan reference card. According to a comparative table of XFX model specifications (see below), the dual-fan variant shares identical data points—excluding physical measurements—with its longer siblings.

Late last week, ASRock introduced its opening wave of Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 graphics card models; in Taichi, Steel Legend and Challenger guises. Official press material only alluded to an intriguing "gray" spin-off of the Taiwanese manufacturer's (traditionally) white-hued mid-tier product family. ASRock's brand-new Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend Dark 16 GB model is listed on their website, but it has received little fanfare since February 28. Appropriately, this "Dark" variant rolls out with the familiar Steel Legend shroud and backplate designs—albeit, with a two-tone (black/gray) aesthetic.

As expected, the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend Dark card shares identical specifications with its standard white sibling—in both cases, we are looking at non-overclocked SKUs. The AMD board partner has not prepared a non-XT Steel Legend Dark card for launch (on March 6), but an expanded lineup could emerge in the near future. ASRock graphics card enthusiasts have noted a mildly disappointing absence of RDNA 4-based Phantom Gaming options—past Radeon product generations have hit global markets with this sub-brand. Looking at a typical past example—ASRock's Radeon RX 7800 XT Phantom Gaming OC card—we see a gray/black design with a smattering of RGB lighting zones. We could surmise that ASRock has created a similar-ish modernized equivalent—in the shape of Steel Legend Dark (non-OC)—to fill a (temporary?) Phantom Gaming-sized gap.

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.

ASUS today announced AMD Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT graphics cards for the TUF Gaming and Prime families, featuring the new RDNA 4 architecture, 16 GB of VRAM, the HYPR-RX feature set and a super resolution mode that leverages machine learning.

TUF Gaming leads the charge
ASUS has proven experience taming GPU temperature while keeping noise levels low, and it has brought that expertise to bear on the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition and TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 OC Edition.

Vastarmor continues on its path to become a reliable graphics card manufacturer and AMD board partner (since the RDNA 2 days) and they are among the first to announce their own implementations for the latest AMD RDNA 4 graphics architecture with the launch of the Vastarmor Radeon RX 9070 XT Super Alloy and Vastarmor Radeon RX 9070 Super Alloy graphics card series. Both graphics cards are available in black and white versions and use 100 mm fans with ARGB lighting.

The RX 9070 XT Super Alloy has a three-fan design measuring 326.66 mm long, 59.4 mm wide, and takes up 2.8 slots. The RX 9070 Super Alloy uses a dual-fan approach and measures 281.44 mm x 50.15 mm, taking up 2.5 slots. Both graphics cards are equipped with a reinforced metal backplate. In terms of specifications, Vastarmor opted to tune up the clock speeds a bit: the RX 9070 XT Super Alloy features a 2570 MHz Game Clock (2.4 GHz reference) / Up to 3100 MHz Boost Clock (3.0 GHz reference), while the RX 9070 Super Alloy uses a 2210 MHz Game Clock (2.1 GHz reference) / Up to 2700 MHz Boost Clock (2.5 GHz AMD reference).

ASRock, the leading global motherboard, graphics card and mini PC manufacturer, today launched the new Taichi, Steel Legend and Challenger series graphics cards based on AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT and Radeon RX 9070 GPUs. The new graphics cards are built-in the ultra-fast AMD RDNA 4 architecture graphics which features 3rd Gen ray tracing and 2nd Gen AI accelerators to deliver the performance you need to max out your gaming.

A formerly dormant member of China's Chiphell discussion board has resurfaced with a major GALAX leak; they claimed ownership of a pre-release GeForce RTX 5090D HOF OC LAB edition graphics card. The Hong Kong-based AIB did not update its "Hall of Fame" series with flagship NVIDIA "Blackwell" GPU silicon in time for last month's launch. Their highest-end offering arrived in the form of a GeForce RTX 5080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X SKU; reportedly an over-specced juggernaut. According to the latest reports, GALAX's top GeForce RTX 5090D candidate is in the pipeline—early details indicate an impressive feature set. The manufacturer is well known for its selective methodology; GPU industry watchdogs believe that the incoming flagship utilizes only the very best pre-binned GB202 GPU dies and GDDR7 memory modules.

Despite a fitting of elite-tier parts, the lucky owner reported issues with their allegedly sanction box-ticking card: "this time the overclocking was more troublesome. The bracket and backplate of the graphics card gun had to be remade. Finally, it was done. I won't say more. I'm going to fill it with liquid nitrogen." VideoCardz believes that GALAX has sent preview samples to local overclocking specialists, minus finalized air-cooled solution attachments. As disclosed by the Chiphell member
(laoshu1919), early evaluators appear to be experimenting with liquid cooling. A photo of GALAX's GeForce RTX 5090D HOF OC LAB PCB design was shared on the forum; showing a grand total of 38 high-quality power phases. The GPU die is surrounded by 26 of these units, while 10 are positioned closer to the card's VRAM. Another 2 are located nearby to a single 16-pin power connector, with enough extra room to accommodate two more. Judging from laoshu1919's photo, this prototype seems capable of hosting another 16-pin power connector. The sample's I/O bracket likely sports GALAX's signature "1-Click OC" button.

Sapphire's premium NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card model was the subject of several leaks in the recent past—unsurprisingly, gaming GPU detectives gathered evidence of a very high speculative price point. The AIB's top "champagne gold" offering is due for a full unveiling; we expect to see examples tomorrow—AMD will broadcast a special Radeon RX 9070 Series presentation. Within the past 24 hours, VideoCardz received a compelling tip-off—the GPU news specialist was pointed in the direction of TechPowerUp. Currently, the site's VGA BIOS Collection hosts a downloadable "Sapphire 9070 XT 16 GB BIOS (Nitro+)" ROM.

The VGA BIOS build date is listed as "2024-12-13," with the file becoming available to download roughly two days ago (February 25). VideoCardz highlighted interesting "BIOS Internals" information; namely the mentioning of a "Navi48 XTX" GPU variant. Since CES 2025, AMD and its board partners have kept quiet about finer RDNA 4 details, but insiders and leakers have noted the existence of a generic "Navi 48" GPU. TechPowerUp's GPU database listings of AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB and RX 9070 16 GB (non-XT) are freshly updated; reflecting new information sourced from pre-launch VGA BIOS listings. The incoming flagship seems to utilize a "Navi 48 XT" GPU variant (note: not 48 XTX), while its non-XT sibling is (supposedly) based on "Navi 48 XL." VideoCardz has heard whispers of a next-gen "Navi XTXH," industry moles have linked this sub-model to a supposed "higher-end" 32 GB RDNA 4 card. TPU's GPU database also alludes to an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU; just updated with a "Navi 48 LE" designation.

NVIDIA's upcoming mid-range GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB model is almost ready for launch, according to recent reports. Industry moles reckon that GB205 GPU-based specimens are already in the clutches of press and influencer outlets; review embargoes are due to be lifted on March 4, for $549 MSRP conformant SKUs (as disclosed by a VideoCardz source). Last week, we heard whispers about Team Green's (allegedly) troubled production cycle for incoming GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 models.

Insiders insist that these issues have caused a delay; many believed that NVIDIA had (prior) plans for a February GeForce RTX 5070 launch. A revised schedule was leaked to VideoCardz; the publication posits that GeForce RTX 5070 cards will launch at retail on March 5, with non-MSRP ($549+) reviews projected to go live on the same day. Based on various leaks, NVIDIA and AMD will likely clash with their respective new offerings. Right now, reviewers could be dealing with sizable piles of competing Team Green and Team Red hardware. Graphics card enthusiasts will be looking forward to incoming comparisons—GeForce RTX 5070 and its Ti sibling versus Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 (non-XT).

Last Friday, the AMD Radeon social media account sent out a friendly reminder to its audience: "it's almost time. Meet the next gen AMD Radeon RX 9000 series on February 28th at 8am ET/7am CT/5am PT." Later this week, Team Red and its board partners are expected to present the first wave of RDNA 4-based graphics cards with an in-depth/detailed presentation. TechPowerUp and other PC hardware press outlets have—so far—covered plenty of custom Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 (non-XT) designs, but MBA (made-by-AMD) reference models have only emerged online through official marketing channels. Previously released promotional product renders indicate that Team Red has dual and triple-fan next-gen solutions lined up, but last week's social media post implies that first-party options will not be available on day one.

A small disclaimer—stating: "artistic render: not available for purchase"—was placed below AMD's render of a triple-fan cooled reference card. VideoCardz has interpreted this stealthy disclosure; they believe that Team Red will not be releasing any Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 MBA models. Since a muted introduction at CES 2025, TechPowerUp's GPU database maintainer has adorned these entries with placeholder imagery (see example below). The lack of reference "Navi 48-based" designs could be a boon for involved AIBs. Based on historical events, VideoCardz reckons that AMD has often "prioritized" its own offerings—to the detriment of board partner shipments; insiders have allegedly complained or expressed dissatisfaction about this (past) arrangement.

Manli Technology Group Limited is proud to announce the Manli GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. Get game-changing performance with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, powered by NVIDIA Blackwell. Game at high frame rates with DLSS 4, supercharge your creativity with NVIDIA Studio, and enable new experiences with the power of AI.

Manli Design
There are 8,960 CUDA cores onboard powering the RTX 5070 Ti. It also has 16 GB of memory, and GDDR7 memory speeds of up to 28 Gbps, with 5th Gen Tensor Cores, AI TOPS 1406.

Sparkle, a notable Intel GPU board partner, introduced its dual-fan GUARDIAN custom design late last year. The Taiwan-based manufacturer's Arc B570 GUARDIAN 10 GB model launched mid-way through January—on day one, TechPowerUp's W1zzard awarded this particular card with "Highly Recommended" and "Great Value" badges. In a December leak, Sparkle's roadmap revealed Sparkle's plans for an upcoming Arc B580 GUARDIAN 12 GB SKU. A launch window was not denoted, but the new card would seemingly arrive after the early 2025 release of Sparkle's B580 TITAN Luna OC model. VideoCardz and its network of observers have detected a new listing on the official Sparkle website; signalling the B580 GUARDIAN's arrival.

Sparkle's Arc B580 GUARDIAN graphics card seems to be available for purchase in the United Kingdom, at the time of writing. CCL Computers and AWD IT have units in-stock at their respective warehouses, ready for immediate shipping. Both e-tailers have priced their offerings at £289.99 (including VAT), AWD has kindly knocked off £10 from their original demand of £299.99. Overclockers UK has a pre-order listing, coming in at a very reasonable £274.00 (incl. VAT). The Sparkle Arc B580 GUARDIAN 12 GB model conforms to Intel reference specifications, so global costs of ownership are likely sticking close to baseline MSRP.

Last Wednesday (February 12), an intriguing filing appeared online—the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) has received multiple registrations of NVIDIA GPUs; courtesy of OEM Global Technologies Ltd. The parent company of ZOTAC Technology Limited has registered a wide span of Team Green SKUs, going back many generations to 2014's GeForce GT 710 "Kepler 2.0" design. When ignoring everything south of the latest "Blackwell" GPU lineup, harukaze5719 noticed three lower-end additions. The rumor mill has NVIDIA launching its more budget-friendly GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 (non-Ti) models at some point next month.

Board partner supply chain insiders believe that Team Green is clearing the current-gen flock; thus making way for lower-end "Blackwell" GPUs, but the newly-discovered registration of a GeForce RTX 5050 SKU has raised watchdog eyebrows. A rumored entry-level RTX 5050 Mobile variant turned up last December, but we have not heard much about a discrete desktop equivalent in 2025. NVIDIA had plans for a GeForce RTX 4050 model, but desktop "Ada Lovelace" AD107 GPU-based products did not emerge into existence. The latest ECC filing suggests that a next-gen successor could be on the way. Industry soothsayers predict a sub-$300 price point for alleged GeForce RTX 5050 8 GB graphics cards—potentially lined up for battle with Intel's current-gen B580 and B570 offerings.

Last December, Intel revealed that its next-generation "Celestial" GPU architecture was "complete." At the time, Team Blue's Tom "TAP" Petersen revealed: "our IP that's kind of called Xe3, which is the one after Xe2, that's pretty much baked... And so the software teams have a lot of work to do on Xe3. The hardware teams are off on the next thing (aka Xe4/Druid), right." Noted Intel inside info leaker—Raichu—believes that "Celestial" will be: "different from Panther Lake, Celestial dGPU looks like will maybe be based on Xe3P instead of Xe3. I estimate it will (be) based on INTC's process instead of outside." Their Friday evening (February 14) social media declaration suggests that Team Blue is bringing things in-house for the manufacturing of discrete "Celestial" graphics cards; utilizing an Intel Foundry node process, rather than rely on TSMC once more. The latter's foundry produced the Arc "Alchemist" and "Battlemage" dGPU generations.

Intel's rumored "Xe3P" architecture is not a fully known quantity, but reports from last November pointed to the existence of multiple "Xe3" variants; courtesy of information gleaned from an employee's LinkedIn profile. Over the past two weeks, we have witnessed plenty of leaks alluding to future Intel CPU families, but the flow of Arc graphic solutions-related leaks seemingly slowed down around the launch of Intel's budget-friendly "Battlemage" B570 card. Recent-ish insider disclosures have uncovered a possible expansion of the current-gen Arc series, with more SKUs rumored to be on the way. A certain group of industry watchdogs reckon that the unannounced "BGM-G31" GPU will be the basis for higher-end "Battlemage" B-series models, but others believe that options above B580 and B570 are canceled—potentially paving the way for "Xe3P-based" C-series designs later this year, or in 2026.

Sapphire is readying multiple Radeon RX 9070 custom designs for next month's launch; official announcements and leaks have revealed upcoming PURE, PULSE and NITRO+ cards. The latter was identified in AMD's CES 2025 press material, but no demonstration sample turned up at last month's Las Vegas AIB roundup. A lone fuzzy low-resolution screengrab showcased the premium Radeon RX 9070 series card's hefty and blocky triple-slot profile. An hour or two ago, Everest (aka Olrak29) uploaded two alleged promotional images to social media. Thankfully, the leaked shots have arrived with decent pixel definition. Sapphire has initiated staggered marketing campaigns for its lower-end and mid-range RDNA 4 cards, so the latest leak has most likely preempted an upcoming official reveal of (possible) NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 cards.

Sapphire reserves the crème de la crème of feature sets for its premium-tier NITRO+ designs. Previous-gen examples were substantial prospects, and the incoming design is touted to continue that dimensional legacy. Well-heeled Team Red enthusiasts will welcome an updated triple-fan configuration and somewhat subtle internal ARGB lighting zones. The leaked card sports a luxurious "champagne gold" tinted shroud and backplate, with an optional detachable panel. The vented side plates sport a lighter-hue, but the elaborate triangular cut-out aesthetic could be off-putting to certain connoisseurs. Press outlets have honed in on the new NITRO+ model's hidden power connector design, potentially leading to a single input—utilizing a 12 or 16-pin interface.

Mid-way through January, insider sources reckoned that AMD's China-exclusive Radeon RX 6750 GRE 10 GB GPU was on the way out—a rumored successor was seemingly in line to replace this popular budget-friendly RDNA 2-based model. According to VideoCardz, Team Red's latest "Golden Rabbit Edition" design has launched—exclusively for a China-based buying audience. Team Red and its local board partners have produced a plethora of Radeon RX 7650 GRE 8 GB custom models—reports suggest that a reference model (MBA) does not exist. Several manufacturers have models readied for launch, including: ASRock, ASUS, PowerColor, Sapphire, Yeston and VASTARMOR. Official MSRP for the region is 2099 yuan (~$289 USD). In the West, original launch pricing for the Radeon RX 7600 was $269. The fancier Radeon RX 7600 XT was priced at $329 on day one.

Roughly a year ago, AMD decided against releasing its (RDNA 3) Radeon RX 7600 XT 16 GB GPU in China. Their Radeon RX 7600 (non-XT) 8 GB model did make it to China, but it was largely overshadowed by older tech—mainly Team Red's compellingly priced Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and 10 GB cards. Spec-wise, the Radeon RX 7650 GRE sits somewhere in-between its two "Hotpink Bonefish" Navi 33 siblings. All three cards share the same number of compute units (32 CUs), but differ in terms of boost clocks and thermal design power ratings. The GRE features a max. boost clock speed of 2695 MHz and a board TDP of 170 W—just a nudge over the Radeon RX 7600's 2655 MHz boost capability and 165 W board power rating. Both cards are frugal enough to rely on a single 8-pin power connector. By contrast, the hungrier 190 W TDP-rated Radeon RX 7600 XT sports two 8-pin inputs—this GPU can boost up to 2755 MHz. VideoCardz has kindly assembled a comparison chart (see below).

GALAX has introduced its new-generation Hall of Fame (HOF) graphics card to the Chinese hardware market. This ultra high-end custom design is based on NVIDIA's brand new "Blackwell" GeForce RTX 5080 GPU—this (almost) all-white model is adorned with a signature "Plus-X" crown-like structure, loudly proclaiming (via ARGB) its placement in GALAX's product stack. Several press outlets have expressed disappointment about the Hong Kong-based manufacturer not selecting GeForce RTX 5090D internals for their first unveiling of new HOF designs in 2025. According to a weekend VideoCardz report, the GALAX GeForce RTX 5080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X Edition model houses a striking white 12-layer PCB, with a 14+6+6 phase power design. Additionally, the card features a 70A high-current DR-MOS power stage. GALAX's previous-gen GeForce RTX 4080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X design sported two 16-pin power connectors—in contrast, its successor is reliant on a single 16-pin input.

A dedicated product page—with full specifications—has not appeared on the manufacturer's website, so VideoCardz guesstimated the card's maximum TDP rating. 400 W could be the default power, as seen on many AIB model spec sheets. GALAX has specced its latest HOF OC LAB Plus-X Edition with a dual BIOS system—their overclocked "P-Mode" takes the boost clock up to 2730 MHz. The card's air cooling solution consists of two 102 mm fans, positioned either side of a central 92 mm unit—the GALAX "Frost Ring Blades" are advertised as offering quiet operation, combined with maximizing air flow. GALAX has—once again—implemented its "Hyper Boost" system—the triple-fan cooling solution can be set to operate at maximum RPMs; enabled via an I/O bracket-mounted switch. The manufacturer has seemingly taken inspiration from ZOTAC—GALAX's new model sports a Safety Light-esque error detection system. The GeForce RTX 5080 HOF OC LAB Plus-X Edition is not available for sale in China, at the time of writing.
