So far, AX Gaming has mainly released triple-fan cooled custom GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards under their "Rebel" product line. For example, TechPowerUp's GPU database lists a GeForce RTX 5070 X3W SKU—promo images showcase fairly straightforward white shroud and backplate designs; somewhat belying the family's namesake. Earlier today, VideoCardz put a spotlight on an extravagantly-decorated sibling—the X2W. TechPowerUp's news archive seems to lack in AX Gaming content, but a forumite correctly informed others about this sub-brand existing under the umbrella of Inno3D. The Singaporean AIB launched its AX Gaming off-shoot a few years ago; with its main market focus being China.

The freshly revealed AX Gaming Rebel GeForce RTX 5070 X2W 12 GB model sports a very busy shroud design; thus effortlessly distinguishing itself from nearby plain triple-fan products. Mayan civilization-inspired graffiti graphics are spreads across the card's front face. This funky aesthetic is also present on the model's retail packaging. Interestingly, the two cooling fans are adorned with a hand graphic; clutching a modern gamepad. Disappointingly, the manufacturer has not applied this loud patterning onto the X2W's backplate—we are looking at a mostly white landscape adorned with some sort of Rebel series emblem and "GeForce RTX" text. AX Gaming's specification sheet indicates that their X2W SKU sticks to NVIDIA's reference specifications. The manufacturer's "Punk 4.0" cooling system consists of two fans, paired with a heatsink that features five heatpipes. VideoCardz reckons that the housed PCB also exists within Inno3D's RTX 5070 TWIN X2 cards.
