Next-Level Warfare: ASUS and AMD Launch the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT Black Ops 7 Edition

By Brian k. Neal

Unveiled at the Call of Duty NEXT event in Las Vegas, this limited-edition GPU brings together military-grade performance and cinematic design. Adorned with the Black Ops 7 insignia and the series’ signature orange detailing, it’s more than a piece of hardware — it’s a statement of allegiance for the dedicated COD player. Each unit comes bundled with a digital copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 for PC, ensuring fans jump right into the action the moment they install their new powerhouse.

Under the hood, the RX 9070 XT runs on AMD’s latest RDNA 4 architecture with 16GB of VRAM, delivering cutting-edge performance with AI-powered FSR 4 Upscaling Technology and enhanced raytracing. The result? Faster frames, richer detail, and a seamless fusion of realism and responsiveness — the kind of balance that defines next-gen gaming.

Gamers can expect even more visual fidelity with AMD’s new ML-driven FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3.12, bringing smoother motion and vivid detail to over 85+ supported titles. And with DisplayPort 2.1, the card effortlessly drives ultra-high resolutions and refresh rates for those pushing their setups to cinematic extremes.

Cooling, often the unsung hero of GPU design, is where ASUS flexes its engineering muscle. The triple Axial-tech fan system directs high-pressure airflow through a custom fin array, while 0dB technology ensures total silence during lighter tasks. Wide vents in the aluminum backplate optimize airflow, reducing internal heat buildup. A Dual BIOS switch gives users direct control over performance or quiet modes without needing additional software — though ASUS’s GPU Tweak III app opens a deeper layer of customization for those who love to fine-tune.

But perhaps the most impressive feature is the phase-change GPU thermal pad — a material that shifts from solid to liquid under heat, filling microscopic gaps for flawless thermal conductivity. Unlike traditional thermal paste, it offers long-term durability and consistent cooling even under extreme workloads. Add to that a reinforced metal exoskeleton, a GPU holder to prevent sag, and dual-ball fan bearings for twice the lifespan, and the result is a piece of tech that’s built to go the distance.

Every element of the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT Black Ops 7 Edition embodies ASUS’s design philosophy — reliability meets rebellion. It’s not just a GPU. It’s a battlefield upgrade.
