VASTARMOR has released a red-colored version of its Radeon RX 9070 XT Super Alloy PRO graphics card, giving customers a new color option for this particular graphics card. This is interesting for anyone looking for a unique look for their PC that doesn't involve sacrificing the performance of their hardware. The red version of this graphics card features a redesign of the outer panels and I/O shield to accommodate the new red color while the internal cooling remains identical.
New red variant adds 180 MHz clock speed to Super Alloy PRO lineup
This graphics card features an AMD GPU (marked as RX 9070 XT in this announcement). VASTARMOR bills it as a high-performance graphics card for gaming PCs. The primary audience for this product will be anyone needing powerful GPU performance for their gaming PC. This particular version of the graphics card keeps the same fan blade shape and overall build as the standard Super Alloy PRO.
Specifications
- Dimensions: 326.66 x 134 x 59.4 mm
- Power Connectors: 3x PCIe 8-Pin
- GPU Boost Clock: 3100 MHz (+180 MHz)
- Cooling Solution: Honeywell PTM7950 phase-change pad, full-cover vapor chamber, 8 heat pipes, 3x 100mm fans
- Color Variant: Red
This card is 326.66 x 134 x 59.4 mm in size, making it something you'll need to be mindful of in smaller PC cases. The card needs a 3x 8-pin PCIe power connection, suggesting it has quite the appetite for power, similar to high-end enthusiast cards. For cooling, this card makes use of Honeywell PTM7950 phase change pad, a full cover vapor chamber, 8 heat pipes and 3x 100mm fans.
This card is listed as having a GPU boost clock of 3100 MHz, a 180 MHz increase from stock. This suggests a minor increase in performance for anyone looking to run demanding applications or games. The red version otherwise has the same thermal and power properties as the initial version.
This card can be purchased on JD.com in China for 7299 CNY (~$1,092). The red version costs 7299 CNY (~$1,092), which is in the middle to high-end for custom AIB graphics cards. Availability in the region starts from the announcement date of November 6, 2024.
Can we get some independent thermal benchmarks on the 3100 MHz boost or is this just marketing fluff? I want to see if the vapor chamber actually handles the 180 MHz bump without throttling.
The specs mention Honeywell PTM7950 pads and 8 heat pipes which are solid for a dual slot card. However without stress testing data from a third party we cannot confirm sustained clocks under load. The 3x 8-pin connectors suggest high TDP which might limit the effective boost in smaller cases.
red color is nice but 326mm is gonna kill my small form factor build 😬
I am just looking at the price of seven thousand yuan and wondering if this is worth it compared to the standard black version which is likely cheaper.
The model name RX 9070 XT is highly suspicious since AMD has not released a 9000 series GPU yet. This looks like a typo for the 7900 XT or a completely fake product listing.
If this is indeed a rebranded 7900 XT the driver support should be fine on Windows. Linux users need to check if the kernel DRM module supports this specific hardware ID before buying.
Three eight pin connectors for a card that is basically just painted red? Power draw is going to be insane 🔥
I hope VASTARMOR does not bundle any bloatware with the RGB software. I just want the card to work without telemetry tracking my gaming habits.
One thousand and ninety two dollars is a lot for a color variant. I would rather save that cash for more RAM.
