Black Friday and Cybermonday 2025 are past us but there are still some real good deals to be had. If you are shopping around for a video card for 1440p gaming, then AMD’s RX 9070 is a very good one worth considering as the ASRock Challenger variant of it is up for sale for well below its MSRP (Purchase link under the specs table down below).
The RX 9070 trades blows with the Nvidia RTX 5070 but the former has 16GB VRAM compared to 12 on latter.
For cooling, the ASRock Challenger uses standard triple-fan cooling for good airflow and for quieter operation when you’re not pushing it, has a 0dB “spin down” mode that stops the fans entirely. ASRock adds a nickel-plated copper base and “ultra-fit” heatpipes to maximize contact with the GPU so that heat can move away more efficiently.
The card also packs a metal backplate to improve the GPU strength while the thermal pads it houses underneath should add to the thermal efficiency. The technical specifications of the ASRock Challenger Radeon RX 9070 XT are given in the table below:
