ASUS has announced the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT Onimusha Special Edition, a custom graphics card designed around Capcom’s upcoming Onimusha: Way of the Sword.

Key takeaways
- The special-edition card features a custom shroud and backplate inspired by the game’s Oni Gauntlet.
- It has 16GB of GDDR6 memory, a 256-bit interface and PCI Express 5.0 support.
- ASUS lists clocks of up to 3,080 MHz in OC Mode and 2,540 MHz in Game Mode.
- The card is expected to be bundled with the game; ASUS has not confirmed pricing.
A design built around Onimusha
The card’s blue-and-gold accents and custom graphics draw on the dark fantasy setting of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which takes place in Edo-period Kyoto. ASUS has incorporated visual references to the game’s Oni Gauntlet into the shroud and backplate, making the model a distinctive option for builders assembling a themed PC or collectors of game-related hardware.
RX 9070 XT hardware and features
Under the custom exterior, the card uses AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture and includes 16GB of GDDR6 memory connected over a 256-bit bus. It supports PCI Express 5.0, AMD FSR technologies and ray tracing. ASUS specifies clock speeds of up to 3,080 MHz in OC Mode and 2,540 MHz in Game Mode.
Those specifications are based on the RX 9070 XT platform; ASUS has not provided separate benchmark results for the Onimusha edition. The card’s capacity and modern feature set position it for high-resolution gaming, though actual performance will depend on the game, system configuration and graphics settings.
Triple-fan cooling and durability features
ASUS uses a 3.125-slot cooler with three Axial-tech fans, a phase-change GPU thermal pad and a large fin array beneath a vented, die-cast metal frame. The design is intended to move heat away from the GPU during sustained workloads, but its size is worth checking against a case’s clearance before purchase.
Other TUF features include dual-ball fan bearings, an integrated GPU support bracket and a protective PCB coating intended to guard against moisture, dust and debris. ASUS also cites military-grade components and its Auto-Extreme manufacturing process. The card is slated to launch alongside Onimusha: Way of the Sword on September 4, 2026, with a game bundle reported but no price confirmed so far.
