ASUS TUF Gaming rolls out Call of Duty: Black Ops 7–themed Radeon RX 9070 XT

By TechWatch PH Staff

ASUS has teamed up with AMD and the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 franchise to launch a limited-edition TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card, blending next-generation GPU hardware with a distinct Black Ops aesthetic.

Only 1,000 units of the special edition card will be released globally, each bundled with a digital copy of the standard PC version of the game.

First showcased during the Call of Duty NEXT press event in Las Vegas, the special edition card features the Black Ops 7 Chimera logo and signature orange accents on a rugged TUF Gaming shroud. Beneath the custom design, the GPU is powered by AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture, paired with 16GB of VRAM and the latest AMD Software stack, including ML-powered AMD FSR 4 upscaling technology aimed at delivering higher frame rates without sacrificing visual detail.

ASUS said the card is built to deliver smoother, more immersive gameplay with faster ray tracing and AI-assisted features, while also supporting DisplayPort 2.1 for high-resolution, high-refresh-rate gaming setups.

Through AMD Software, select titles using FidelityFX Super Resolution 3.1 can also be upgraded to the newer machine-learning model, extending performance gains across more than 85 supported games.

Cooling and long-term reliability remain central to the TUF Gaming design. The Radeon RX 9070 XT Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Special Edition uses a triple 11-blade Axial-tech fan setup, an airflow-optimized fin array, and 0dB technology that allows the fans to stop entirely during light workloads.

Wide rear vents and an aluminum backplate help dissipate heat efficiently, while a physical Dual BIOS switch lets users toggle between performance and quiet modes.

Instead of traditional thermal paste, ASUS employs a phase-change GPU thermal pad that liquefies under heat to better fill microscopic gaps between the GPU and cooling module.

According to the company, this improves heat transfer during sustained heavy workloads and offers longer lifespan compared to conventional thermal compounds.

The card is further reinforced with a metal exoskeleton, a bundled GPU holder to prevent sag, and dual-ball fan bearings designed for extended durability.
