Gigabyte has introduced its lineup of the AMD Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards, powered by AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture. The lineup includes the AORUS Radeon RX 9070 XT ELITE 16G, Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G, and Radeon RX 9070 GAMING OC 16G. Let’s take a closer look at their features below:
AMD Radeon 9000 series GPUs
Aorus Radeon RX 9070 XT Elite 16G: Flagship Air-Cooled Model
The Aorus Radeon RX 9070 XT Elite 16G is Gigabyte’s high-performance air-cooled GPU, designed for demanding gamers. It features the advanced WindForce cooling system with multiple heat pipes, the Hawk Fan, and screen cooling to maintain optimal thermal performance. The model also includes a VGA holder with multiple mounting options to prevent GPU sagging and maintain system stability.
The card also introduces the Aorus Dynamic RGB Halo lighting, with swirling patterns surrounding the fan for a distinct visual effect. Its aerospace-grade PCB coating, dual BIOS with silent mode, and durable components claim to contribute to better power efficiency, lower temperatures, and reduced signal interference.

The Gaming series graphics cards continue Gigabyte’s focus on stability and performance. Both models come with customisable RGB lighting and a refined design featuring a sliding side plate for aesthetic customisation. To enhance durability, Gigabyte has reinforced the metal backplate with a bent-edge structure, fastened to the I/O bracket.
New gaming features and upgraded cooling system
The AMD Radeon RX 9000 series integrates AI-driven technologies to optimise gaming performance. AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 and Fluid Motion Frames 2 enhance frame rates and image quality, while Radeon Anti-Lag and Radeon Boost improve responsiveness.
Gigabyte’s improved WindForce cooling system is designed to balance thermal efficiency and performance. The new Hawk Fan design claims to reduce turbulence and noise while improving air pressure by up to 53.6 percent and air volume by 12.5 percent. Plus, a larger heatsink, vapor chamber, and copper plate have been added to improve heat dissipation. There’s also a server-grade thermal conductive gel applied to key components like VRAM and MOSFETs, ensuring optimal contact and long-term durability of the components.
