ASUS Teams Up With T1 for Special Edition RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 Ti Graphics Cards Built for Esports Fans

ASUS has officially unveiled a new collaboration with T1, bringing the League of Legends champion organization into the GeForce RTX 50 Series lineup with the new T1 GeForce RTX 5070 OC and T1 GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC 8GB graphics cards. In its official announcement, ASUS describes the launch as a premium crossover that blends gaming hardware with one of esports’ most recognizable teams, turning both cards into performance products and collector focused releases at the same time.

The visual direction is where this release immediately stands apart. ASUS says the T1 GeForce RTX 5070 uses a black and white palette with red accents, while the backplate features player portraits and signatures to reflect the identity and history of T1. The T1 GeForce RTX 5060 Ti takes a more aggressive red and white approach, also carrying T1 branding and stylized player likenesses with signatures on the backplate. In both cases, ASUS is clearly aiming these cards at fans who want more than a standard custom GPU design.

From the hardware side, the RTX 5070 model is a serious upper midrange card with triple Axial tech fans and an official OC mode rated at 2595 MHz, while the T1 RTX 5060 Ti 8GB also uses a triple fan layout in a 2.5 slot form factor, along with 8GB of GDDR7 memory and a PCIe 5.0 interface. ASUS also highlights the usual premium cooling and durability stack across both cards, including MaxContact, Auto Extreme manufacturing, dual ball fan bearings, 0dB fan technology, Dual BIOS, and GPU Guard support.

ASUS is also extending the T1 collaboration beyond the cards themselves. Both GPUs include exclusive bundled magnets and stickers, and ASUS says GPU Tweak III has been given a special T1 themed interface for this release. The company has also launched a related “We Are T1” campaign running from May 15 through June 30, giving fans a chance to win access to T1 experiences in South Korea. That broader activation makes this feel more like an esports culture project than a routine themed hardware launch.

What ASUS has not announced yet is pricing. That leaves one of the biggest commercial questions unresolved, especially since collector themed GPUs often carry a premium over their standard counterparts. Even so, the concept itself is sharp. The RTX 5070 version is the more polished and prestige oriented card, while the RTX 5060 Ti version looks positioned as the more accessible entry point for T1 fans who want the design language without stepping as far up the stack.

For ASUS, this is a smart crossover. T1 remains one of the biggest brands in competitive League of Legends, and a themed GPU launch gives the company a way to tap into fan identity, display focused PC builds, and esports nostalgia all at once. For buyers, the real appeal will likely come down to whether this feels like a true collector item or just a cosmetic refresh with a higher bill attached. Either way, ASUS has built something that is much more memorable than a normal custom RTX 5070 or 5060 Ti release.

Which card would you actually want in a T1 themed build: the more premium RTX 5070 version or the bolder RTX 5060 Ti design?
