I was just happy to get away from Nvidia and that awful 12pin connector.
Community Reviews
ASRock's RX 9070 XT Challenger comes across as a strong 1440p card with solid build quality and performance that feels close to a 5070 Ti or a meaningful step up from cards like the 3080 and 6800 XT. The price is repeatedly framed as one of the best 9070 XT values, especially versus pricier models, and the card is praised for undervolting well and pairing nicely with FSR 4. The main cautions are limited overclocking headroom, a short one year ASRock warranty, and recurring concern around the 12 pin power connector. A good fit if value and raster performance matter more than chasing big overclocks.
Common Questions (7)
It is a noticeable upgrade from cards like the 6800 XT and 3080, with users describing it as a big difference or a fair improvement. Against a 6950 XT, the gain is often estimated around 10-30%, so the value depends on how much you can recoup by selling the old card.
Yes, the card uses a 12VHPWR/12VHP connector, and it needs to be fully seated with no cable bend or tension at the plug. A 90° or 180° adapter can help with clearance, but some users avoid these cards entirely because of melt/fire concerns.
ASRock's GPU warranty is only 1 year, which is shorter than many competitors. There are also reports of some units failing within 2-3 weeks or showing no video output, so warranty coverage matters more than usual.
At $580, it is one of the cheapest 9070 XT options and is viewed as better value than cards around $700, especially since the overclocking difference is small. It also appears to have held around this price since Black Friday, with some stores offering open-box units even lower.
Dual HDMI setups can be difficult because many cards only offer one HDMI port, and DP-to-HDMI adapters may not work reliably for every display. Some users say dual-HDMI cards can still struggle running both outputs at once, so older cards or specific adapters may be the only practical fix.
It has low overclocking headroom; most 9070 XT cards only gain about 3-5% at best, and that can be lottery-dependent. Undervolting is the more useful tuning path because it can improve efficiency without chasing small OC gains.
Yes, it should handle 1440p very well for rasterized games, with one user saying a 6800 XT already runs anything at 1440p as long as ray tracing is off. The 9070 XT adds more headroom, especially for RT-heavy titles and FSR4 support.

Kind of amazing that the price hasn't gone up yet, and it is worth checking your local store for potential open box deals (one of these open box was $529.99 at a store that's close to me), but it is on the lower end of the 9070XTs. Still an amazing card, and will probably do well undervolted, but likely not one to OC
Haha, I have had many EVGA cards. I miss them, especially right now.

I don't mind to buy and ship it to you. I am in SoCal near Tustin store.
you can text me at 714 7 two 1 seven 7 two seven.
Rough ask for sure as DP 2.1 ports are, "in general", better than than HDMI 2.1 ports. If that is not enough many video cards with dual HDMI ports have trouble running both at the same time.
Really rough situation. I feel for you. I assume you have tried passive/active adapters and everything else. So good luck with the search. Older cards might be the only option.
DP2.1b has full UHBR20, better than both, but only 50 series NV cards support it so far.
The problem is every time I go in one of these stores, it feels like they are one step closer to becoming the next Fry's!
I am not sure what is the bast way to buy and ship to you.
I will just ask for the actual costs for the GPU + tax and shipping.
Price after tax is...
ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Challenger Triple Fan...
SKU: 930487 1 $579.99 Total Before Tax: $579.99 Tax: $44.95
Order Total: $624.94
I am not sure what would be the best way to ship.
USPS priority mail? with insurance on it?
Since this is an expensive item, it should be ship with insurance on it.
I don't think this will fit in the USPS fixed fee priority mail box.
So the shipping will be around $40 ~ 50
So the total would be $625 + 50 = $675
If you trust me and don't mind to send me the above amount with zelle,
I can promise to buy and ship it to you with USPS priority mail.
but you need to trust me to pay in advance. If the deal expired, I can return the $
I am not sure if you are willing to do that.
It was raining here and I didn't go to buy for myself today but I will go tomorrow.
Pls let me know so I don't need to make multiple trips to the store.
I will be out of town from 5th to 12 so I will not be able to buy during those time (I think price will change soon anyway).
I will be in Tulsa. If you are in Tulsa, I can buy and meet you in Tulsa and can pay me when we meet during those time. But you need to come to see me and need to pay me when we meet in Tulsa/BA OK.
If you are serious about this, just text me. We can talk then.
Once I ship (on Monday I assume), I can ship you tracking # etc. with photo.
my zelle is tie to my cell #.
I only do since I like AMD and prefer to promote more ppl to have their products not sIntel nor NV.
