The company says its upgraded WINDFORCE cooling system improves performance and thermal efficiency, with the new Hawk Fan design increasing air pressure by up to 53.6% and air volume by 12.5%, while reducing turbulence and noise. The cooling system is further enhanced with a larger heatsink, vapor chamber, and copper plate, and “server-grade thermal conductive gel” which is said to resist deformation from transport or long-term use.
Leading the lineup is the AORUS Radeon RX 9070 XT ELITE as the brand’s high-performance air-cooled model, followed by Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC and Radeon RX 9070 GAMING OC. All three models feature dual BIOS modes for switching between Performance and Silent fan profiles, and they comes with higher TBPs over AMD’s stock figures (340W for RX 9070 XT, 245W for RX 9070).
To improve structural integrity, GIGABYTE says the Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards include reinforced metal backplate with a bent edge, secured to the I/O bracket; the AORUS ELITE model also includes a VGA holder with multiple mounting options to prevent sagging. The company has announced local pricing for two cards, with the RX 9070 XT GAMING OC being the exception. As for the other two, the AORUS card costs RM3,899, while the sole RX 9070 model will set you back for RM3,229.
