AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics cards have finally reached their MSRPs of $549 and $599, respectively. According to US retailer Newegg listing, these GPUs are now trading at the price AMD artificially set at the launch eight months ago. AMD's AIB partners have used this MSRP model as a general guide, but priced the cards historically higher to preserve margins. Since no reference Made by AMD (MBA) cards were shipped to the masses, AMD's MSRP had little influence over the pricing decision made by AIB partners. Consumers couldn't get MBA cards at their MSRPs, so they had to opt for custom PCB designs from third parties like ASUS, Sapphire, ASRock, XFX, and others. Since all of these were custom designs, AIBs have priced it higher to account for custom engineering going into their GPUs.

Thankfully, gamers can now get both the Radeon RX 9070 and Radeon RX 9070 XT at AMD-set MSRP at US retailers like Newegg. Below, you can check out the images from Newegg for PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 trading at $549 and ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 XT trading at $599. As a reminder, AMD launched both the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 on March 6th, 2025. Both cards are built on the 4 nm process using Navi 48 chips and come with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and PCIe 5.0 x16 connectivity. The RX 9070 XT uses the Navi 48 XTX variant and features 4096 SPs, 64 ray tracing acceleration cores, and 128 tensor cores. It can boost up to 2970 MHz, and has a maximum power draw of 304 W. The RX 9070, meanwhile, uses the Navi 48 XT variant with some shaders disabled, resulting in 3584 SPs, 56 ray tracing acceleration cores, and 112 tensor cores. It boosts up to 2520 MHz and draws up to 220 W.

ASRock brought a selection of its recently launched gaming monitors, motherboards, and graphics cards, to the 2024 International CES. The company had recently refreshed its Intel 700-series chipset motherboard family to align with 14th Gen Core desktop family launch, and we see boards such as the Phantom Gaming Z790 NOVA, a full-featured ATX motherboard positioned just a notch below the Z790 Taichi series; and the the Z790I and B760I PG Lightning WiFi Mini-ITX boards. Toward the end of 2023, AMD had launched its Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series, with two distinct platforms in play—HEDT and workstation. We got a close look at the WRX90 EVO, a gargantuan board that wires out nearly all 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes of the Threadripper; along with 8-channel DDR5 memory. Notice the two large VRM heatsinks that are actively cooled by 40 mm fans. Even after giving each of the PCIe Gen 5 slots full x16 wiring, the platform has enough to spare on some NVMe slots.

Here's the first picture of a custom-design Intel Arc A750 "Alchemist" graphics card, in this case, an ASRock Arc A750 Challenger. ASRock showed the card off at its Tokyo Game Show 2022 booth. The strictly 2-slot thick card appears to have a fairly well-endowed aluminium fin-stack cooling solution featuring a pair of large 100 mm fans. Its cooling solution uses two aluminium fin-stacks skewered by a number of copper heat pipes. The card draws power from two 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and features some illumination in the way of an illuminated Arc logo.

The Arc A750 is based on the same 6 nm "DG2-512" silicon as the A770 Limited Edition—which looks increasingly like an Intel-exclusive that will only be sold in its reference design. While the A770 maxes out the chip with all 32 Xe Cores being enabled (512 EUs, or 4,096 unified shaders), the A750 gets 28 Xe Cores (448 EUs, or 3,584 unified shaders). It also gets 8 GB of 16 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface (512 GB/s bandwidth), 448 XMX units (accelerates AI and features like XeSS), and 28 RT units. The reference engine clock of the A750 is set at 2.05 GHz, although it's likely that the ASRock Challenger is a factory-overclocked card.

VideoCardz has spotted custom editions of AMD's upcoming RX 5500 XT graphics cards from AIB partners. The models, from ASRock and Gigabyte, showcase the respective companies' custom cooling solutions for the new batch of midrange graphics cards based on the Navi 14 silicon. ASRock, for one, is pictured with a Challenger graphics card which will join the company's top of the line Phantom Gaming brand. The Challenger D 8G OC (which will also be available in 4 GB VRAM) features a dual-slot, dual-fan cooler with a black shroud and yellow accents, and comes factory-overclocked to 1737 MHz. I/O is taken care of by 3x DisplayPort and 1x HDMI connectors.
