GALAX Launches RTX 5070 Ti HOF Gaming Black Edition in China, Priced Beyond $1,100
GALAX has officially released the RTX 5070 Ti HOF Gaming Black Edition in China, where it is already drawing attention for its steep pricing. Listed at 8,299 Yuan (~$1,160 USD) across select e-commerce platforms, the card is priced nearly 50% above NVIDIA’s official MSRP and even surpasses the cost of the GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition.
Premium Pricing for a Premium Edition
The RTX 5070 Ti has an official starting price of $749, but GALAX’s HOF (Hall of Fame) series has long been positioned as a flagship enthusiast product line with premium materials, advanced PCBs, and unique designs tailored for overclockers. The new Gaming Black Edition mirrors the specifications of the existing white HOF model but introduces a sleek all-black shroud, expanding aesthetic options for high-end builds.
While premium editions often carry significant markups, the RTX 5070 Ti HOF Gaming Black’s pricing stands out for placing it above higher-tier models in NVIDIA’s lineup, positioning it firmly in the ultra-enthusiast bracket.
Design and Technical Features
The RTX 5070 Ti HOF Gaming Black features a triple-fan cooling solution mounted on a platinum-grade PCB, ensuring robust thermal and power performance under heavy workloads. Out of the box, the GPU is factory overclocked to 2610 MHz boost, with a 1-Click OC mode raising frequencies to 2625 MHz. Enthusiasts can expect additional headroom for manual tuning, in line with the HOF brand’s reputation.
An important highlight is the HOF Debug Safety Indicator, exclusive to GALAX’s flagship editions, which provides diagnostic functionality for detecting issues such as unstable PCIe connections or irregular power delivery. This feature underscores the HOF line’s focus on reliability for extreme overclocking and custom PC builds.
Availability and Market Outlook
GALAX has also unveiled the RTX 5080 HOF Gaming Black, though pricing and availability details remain undisclosed. Given the current market position, it is unlikely that the 5070 Ti HOF Gaming Black will see an official retail price under $1,000, limiting its accessibility to dedicated enthusiasts willing to pay a premium for aesthetics and overclocking capabilities.
Would you pay above $1,100 for a premium RTX 5070 Ti that outprices even the RTX 5080, or should enthusiasts stick to higher-tier GPUs instead?
