So, ASRock’s upcoming Radeon RX 9070 series graphics cards have made a splash online, giving us a sneak peek at the Steel Legend and Taichi custom models. Let’s dive into what these intriguing new models have to offer.
ASRock seems to be gearing up quite the lineup with AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs, especially focusing on the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. While we haven’t seen any official glamour shots from other third-party manufacturers yet, ASRock’s newest creations have popped up, offering a glimpse into three distinct series: Steel Legend, Taichi, and Challenger. The Taichi cards, in particular, seem poised to be ASRock’s premium offering. It sports a sophisticated triple-fan setup, coupled with a hefty heatsink, necessitating a three-slot design.
What really stands out about the Taichi model is its use of a 12V-2×6 power connector, which isn’t something every model will boast. AMD has given the flexibility to third-party partners to choose this based on specific power needs. This connector can support up to a whopping 600W, suggesting that the Taichi is going to pack quite a punch in terms of specs and overclocking potential.
Next on the list is the Steel Legend version, positioned more as a mid-tier choice from ASRock. It catches the eye with its sleek white and silver aesthetic. This card features a 2.5-slot with a triple-fan design. Unlike its Taichi sibling, the Steel Legend sticks with the standard dual 8-pin power connectors—pretty typical for AMD’s third-party options apart from a few high-performance models like the Taichi.
As for when you can get your hands on these beauties, it’s looking like AMD might kick off pre-orders for the RX 9070 series as soon as next week.
