ASUS TUF GPU Mix-Up Creates Rare Radeon-GeForce Hybrid

Sometimes GPU AIBs partners design a cooler and adapt it to more models, typically within a single GPU family or from the same manufacturer, such as AMD or NVIDIA. Today, we are witnessing what might appear to be the first crossover, with an ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition featuring a GeForce RTX badge. Reddit user Fantastic-Ad8410 encountered persistent display artifacts on his Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Edition and returned it to Micro Center for an exchange. He expected an identical replacement, but upon unboxing at home he discovered a surprising anomaly. The card's backplate clearly reads "AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT" while the fan shroud prominently displays "GeForce RTX 5070 Ti." Both the Radeon RX 9070 XT and the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti employ very similar thermal solutions, with respective TDPs of 304 W and 300 W, so ASUS uses the same dual-fan cooler design on both models.

This is not an isolated incident. Approximately one month earlier, another Redditor, Blood-Wolfe, reported that an ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti OC Edition arrived bearing Radeon branding on its top panel. Given the nearly identical mounting points and the proximity of cooler assembly stations, a single misplaced component can lead to these hybrid graphics cards. A momentary mix-up on the production line allowed parts intended for one GPU to be fitted to another. In practical terms, the mixed-brand card performs exactly like a standard Radeon RX 9070 XT. The PCB, GPU silicon, and memory modules are all genuine AMD components, so gaming benchmarks and performance metrics match official specifications. Yet this unexpected blend of AMD and NVIDIA branding has sparked lively debate online. Whether Fantastic-Ad8410 opts to keep this one-of-a-kind GPU or seek another replacement remains to be seen, but this GPU is now definitely a collectible for some enthusiasts.

Kiwi Ears Launches the Étude IEMs for Bassheads

Kiwi Ears Étude features the all-new Kiwi Vibration Transducer (KVT), a unique driver system that provides physical low-mid tactile vibrations, setting it apart from traditional bone conduction designs. Paired with a powerful 10 mm Beryllium-plated dynamic driver and three custom-tuned balanced armatures, the Étude achieves a stunningly immersive and detailed sound. With its precise 8dB sub-bass response, flat midrange, and extended treble, the Étude balances richness and clarity, offering a dynamic and lifelike listening experience.

KVT: Kiwi Vibration Transducer
The Kiwi Ears Étude is developed to showcase the KVT (Kiwi Vibration Transducer). Unlike traditional bone conduction drivers used in earphones, the KVT is more akin to scaled-down miniature vibration drivers found in Bluetooth vibration speakers. Featuring strong N52 neodymium magnets suspended by a heavy-tension spring system, the KVT physically vibrates a conduction plate when actuated by electrical currents. This technology provides tactile vibrations that enhance low-mid acoustics, offering a unique auditory experience.

Zen Studios Introduces Tomb Raider Pinball FX Expansion - Coming to PC, VR & Consoles on June 19

If you've ever wanted to raid ancient tombs or explore Croft Manor—but with pinballs flying everywhere - you're in for something special. Tomb Raider Pinball arrives in Pinball FX on PC and consoles—on June 19, including two awesome new tables: Adventures of Lara Croft and Secrets of Croft Manor. But why is this an amazing crossover, you may ask? At their core, both Tomb Raider and pinball are about quick reflexes, careful planning, and that rush you get when you finally pull off the impossible. Whether you're dodging traps in a crumbling tomb or trying to save a ball rolling toward the drain, it's that same exciting mix of precision and chaos. But there's more to pinball than just keeping that silver ball alive. Each table tells a story that makes it unique. Let's see what lies behind the ramps and rails of these two beauties!

Adventures of Lara Croft is all about Lara's classic expeditions—from Peru's jungles to Egypt's pyramids, from the Great Wall to the frozen caves of Tibet. Along the way, you'll face off against familiar foes like Mark Willard, Werner Von Croy, or Natla and the Atlanteans. While exploring these remarkable locations and fighting your way through your enemies, you can even play a special third-person shooting mode with Lara's iconic dual pistols. There's a lot to discover while you explore this world, choosing your missions from the globe pictured above: massive Tomb Multiballs, tricky trap ramps, dangerous pits, and finally, the Survivor Wizard Mode that pulls moments from the Survivor Trilogy for one final showdown. It's pure, distilled Tomb Raider adventure mixed with the excitement of pinball.

The Kiwi Ears Septet features a highly sophisticated architecture comprising seven drivers per side: one dynamic driver, four balanced armature drivers, one planar magnetic driver, and one PZT driver. Supported by an extensive 5-way passive crossover system and a precision-engineered three-bore acoustic design, the Septet achieves a refined tonal balance with exceptional clarity, low distortion, and seamless frequency integration. Its tuning delivers a powerful yet controlled sub-bass, a natural and uncolored midrange, and an extended treble that maintains both detail and comfort. Equipped with a custom high-purity copper modular cable, compatible with 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm terminations, the Septet is crafted to meet the highest standards of modern high-fidelity audio.

10 mm Dynamic Driver
The Septet utilizes the tried-and-true 10 mm composite dynamic driver to power the sub-bass and bass. The large diaphragm dynamic driver outperforms other driver types for a powerful and deep sub-bass rumble down to 8 Hz, and delivers a sub-woofer-like bass signature. Tuned precisely through both passive and acoustic strategies, the Septet offers hard-hitting bass that is rich, yet clean, for an uncompromising listening experience.

Square Enix Reveals SaGa Emerald Beyond Add-on for Vampire Survivors

Happy Anniversary to SaGa Emerald Beyond! The fabulously free-form RPG released April 25 last year, so it's nearly a whole year old. They grow up so fast. To celebrate, we have a very exciting collaboration to announce—a new SaGa Emerald Beyond-themed update for the utterly awesome Vampire Survivors! Titled "Emerald Diorama," it adds loads of new content to the game, including a new stage, new weapons, new characters and more.

What is Vampire Survivors?
We're sure this game needs no introduction, but just in case some of you are yet to experience this intensely fun gothic horror survival game, allow us to introduce it. Developed by poncle, Vampire Survivors pits you against hordes of undead in fast-paced action, but you don't need to shoot - your character attacks automatically. This means you can focus on positioning, levelling up, finding new weapons and evolving them into new forms, discovering secrets and more. It's fast-paced, easy to play, full of depth and very, very absorbing. Fun fact: I play it on the train each day I travel to Square Enix HQ and have missed my stop at least 3 times as a result. Thanks to this new SaGa Emerald Beyond crossover, I expect it to happen again fairly regularly. I apologize to my employers in advance.
