Lenovo Reveals Legion GeForce RTX 5070 & 5060 Ti Custom Card Designs

[T0@st]

Certain Lenovo Legion pre-built gaming rigs are equipped with intriguing custom graphics card designs; reportedly not available to purchase as (separate) retail packages. As mentioned back in March, the system integrator's Legion 9000K gaming systems were configurable with slick metallic GeForce RTX 5090D and GeForce RTX 5080 options. At the time, Lenovo China hinted about a forthcoming GeForce RTX 5070 offering; also making use of a CNC-machined metal shroud and backplate. Since then, VideoCardz has kept a watchful eye on new product developments—an early April "official" leak suggested an eventual arrival of lower-end GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" Legion models.

As of late last week, Lenovo China's social media accounts have unveiled cheaper Legion 7000K and GeekPro pre-built systems. These new-gen gaming PCs house the brand's fresh GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB (as promised) and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB custom cards. VideoCardz reckons that company engineers have adhered to NVIDIA's reference specifications, so potential customers will be considering non-overclocked hardware. The Legion 7000K—starting at 11,999 RMB (~$1658 USD)—traditionally-proportioned enclosure can accommodate a longer card design; as demonstrated by promo shots. The tastefully ARGB-lit Legion GeForce RTX 5070 card's oblong format (2.5-slot) utilizes only two fans. In contrast, Lenovo's compact GeekPro—starter price: 7199 RMB (~$995 USD)—case seems to be formed around a stubbier graphics card volume; still large enough to be dual-fan. Its ridged backplate aesthetic brings previous-gen XFX to mind.

This has always been the case. Major companies like Lenovo, Dell, HP, have always produced sane and in spec cards and they often show up in other shops. ASUS and the brands people here swear by produce lifestyle products for brand whoring. Even in the days before RGB on every stupid thing brands like ASUS and MSI put half naked anime or CGI women on things for the virgin crowd. If you took apart a Dell you'd find a product that looked exactly like the reference with no stickers on the heatsink cover and maybe an nvidia or ATi on the fan.

Stuff was sane till the early 2000s and then PC gaming became a lifestyle branding hobby over all other aspects and now here we are.
