Unveiling the New TUF and PRIME Series 70-Class GPUs

Aw, man, so ASUS just rolled out these super snazzy all-white graphics cards, right? The names are a bit of a mouthful—PRIME RTX 5070 and TUF RTX 5070 Ti. Anyway, let’s chat about these beauties.

First off, I can’t help but wonder why ASUS took so long to jump on the white card train. I mean, other brands have been doing it forever. But hey, better late than never, right? Now they’re here with two options: the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and the PRIME GeForce RTX 5070, both strutting all-white outfits like it’s some tech fashion show. I suspect they’re trying to woo gamers who fancy an all-white gaming rig setup. Makes sense!

Okay, let’s dive into the TUF Gaming one. It’s got 16 GB GDDR7, all dolled up in white, from the shroud to those three fans. Even the backplate’s white. Not gonna lie, the whole TUF Gaming branding sprinkled all over is kinda neat. Oh, and there’s this LED zone bling on the edge—flashy, huh?

Now, picture this: it’s a big boy—3.125 slots thick and hefty. Fancy military-grade stuff inside, which I guess makes it more durable and whatnot. Five ports greet you at the end, perfect for multi-display enthusiasts like… well, not me, but you get the drift. With all the factory overclocking magic, it’s rocking up to 2588 MHz boost clock. That’s like revving a race car, right?

Switch gears to the PRIME version. It’s the budget buddy here, but still rocking that white-on-white look. The triple-fan setup is the same, but its boost clock doesn’t race as fast. Still peppy though, at around 2557 MHz in default.

Oh, and it’s slightly less chunky, squeezing into 2.5 slots, but stretches longer than the Founders Edition. Probably like a stretch limo of graphics cards! For juice, they both use a single 12V-2×6 connector. ASUS suggests a decent PSU—850W for the TUF, 750W for the PRIME. Keeps things running cool, I bet.

Anyway, I wondered, does this really matter or am I just obsessed with hardware aesthetics now? Who knows. But hey, I guess these cards are kind of a big deal. Or, at least, they look like one.

Sources say this scoop’s fresh from ASUS and some Twitter handle I’d probably follow. Okay, time for coffee.
