- Each card comes bundled with a digital copy of the standard PC version of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.”

A Collector’s Item for Gamers
The ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Edition sports a striking design that blends the robust TUF Gaming cooling with the signature style of the “Black Ops” franchise. The card features the “Black Ops 7” Chimera logo and orange accents, with some models even including a topographic map design and a custom GPU holder. The LED lighting is also set to an orange hue to complement the theme.
This special edition was first showcased at the Call of Duty NEXT event in Las Vegas on September 30th and is set to be available at select retailers globally. With only 1,000 units being manufactured, it’s positioned as a highly collectible item for fans of both ASUS hardware and the “Call of Duty” series.
Performance and Cooling
Underneath its unique exterior, the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Edition is powered by AMD’s latest RDNA 4 architecture, equipped with 16GB of VRAM. It supports advanced features like ML-Powered AMD FSR 4 Upscaling Technology for improved performance and ray tracing capabilities. DisplayPort 2.1 outputs ensure high bandwidth for demanding resolutions and refresh rates.
ASUS has implemented its proven TUF Gaming cooling solutions, including a trio of 11-blade Axial-tech fans designed for high-pressure airflow. The card also features 0dB technology for silent operation during light tasks and a massive heatsink with vented aluminum backplate for efficient heat dissipation. A physical Dual BIOS switch allows users to select between performance and quiet modes, with further customization available through the ASUS GPU Tweak III software.
To ensure long-term reliability and optimal performance, the card utilizes a phase-change GPU thermal pad instead of traditional thermal paste. This pad liquefies when heated, filling microscopic gaps for superior thermal conductivity. Additional durability features include a metal exoskeleton, dual-ball fan bearings, and the ASUS Auto-Extreme manufacturing process.
Availability and Bundling
Each of the 1,000 limited-edition cards will be bundled with a digital copy of the standard PC version of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 7,” which is slated for release on November 14th. Given its limited availability and bundled game, the card is expected to command a premium price over the standard RX 9070 XT models.
