GALAX RTX 5070 Ti HOF OC LAB Black Soul X hits 2640 MHz

GALAX has introduced two all-black variants of its RTX 5070 Ti HOF OC LAB graphics card, expanding its lineup with the Black Soul and Black Soul X models. These new editions target enthusiasts who prefer a cohesive aesthetic for their builds without sacrificing the high-end performance features of the HOF OC LAB series. The release adds visual variety to the RTX 5070 Ti market, offering buyers a choice between two distinct factory overclock profiles within the same all-black design language.

New all-black variants offer 2610 MHz and 2640 MHz clocks

The Black Soul X serves as the faster of the two options, reaching a boost clock of 2640 MHz, while the standard Black Soul model operates at 2610 MHz. Both variants share the same underlying hardware foundation, featuring 8,960 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps across a 256-bit interface. This configuration ensures that both cards deliver identical baseline performance capabilities, with the difference lying solely in the factory overclock settings.

Spec comparison

Spec Black Soul Black Soul X
Boost Clock 2610 MHz 2640 MHz
CUDA Cores 8,960 8,960
Memory 16GB GDDR7 16GB GDDR7
TGP 300W 300W
Dimensions N/A 349.4 x 160 x 60 mm

Power efficiency and thermal design remain consistent across both models, as they share a 300W Total Graphics Power (TGP) rating. GALAX recommends a 750W power supply to handle the power demands of these high-performance GPUs. The Black Soul X variant measures 349.4 x 160 x 60 mm, providing specific dimensions for case compatibility checks. Additionally, the Black Soul X includes a second Gaming Mode BIOS with a boost clock of 2512 MHz, offering users an alternative performance profile for different use cases.

GALAX has confirmed that these new all-black editions are available in China, but the company has not yet announced pricing or availability for other regions. This limited initial release means international buyers must wait for further updates before these specific variants can be purchased. We touched on Galax RTX 5070 LUNA OC Features in our earlier Galax coverage, which highlights the vendor's ongoing focus on specialized GPU designs. The Black Soul and Black Soul X models represent a focused aesthetic update to the existing RTX 5070 Ti HOF OC LAB lineup.

These new graphics cards offer a specific aesthetic choice for the RTX 5070 Ti segment, with performance differences limited to factory overclock settings. Buyers interested in the all-black HOF OC LAB design should monitor GALAX for international release details, as current information is restricted to the Chinese market. The availability of two variants allows users to choose between a higher stock boost clock or a standard profile within the same physical design.
