PowerColor RX 9070 XT Reva Edition: When Hardware Becomes Art
PowerColor has unveiled a limited edition of its Radeon RX 9070 XT with a design inspired by Reva, the acclaimed science fiction series that has captured the imagination of millions. This unique collaboration fuses high-end performance with an aesthetic that transcends the typical gaming design, offering collectors and enthusiasts a piece that is both a performance tool and a work of art. With only 2,000 units available worldwide, this special edition features design elements taken directly from the cyberpunk aesthetic and alien landscapes that characterize the Reva universe. 🎨
Design That Tells a Story
What sets this limited edition apart is not just the technical specifications—impressive in themselves—but how each design element tells a part of Reva's story. The heatsink features laser engravings that recreate the alien language from the series, the ventilation patterns mimic the organic architecture seen in Reva's worlds, and the programmable RGB lighting can be configured to reproduce the characteristic colors of different planets from the series. Even the backplate includes a star map of the system where Reva's main narrative takes place.
Technical Specifications and Performance
Beneath the elaborate exterior hides one of the most capable graphics cards on the current market, designed for 4K gaming and high-end content creation.
Architecture and Capabilities
The RX 9070 XT uses AMD's RDNA 4 architecture, with 96 compute units, 96 ray accelerators, and 96 MB of Infinity Cache. The 24 GB GDDR7 memory at 24 Gbps provides sufficient bandwidth for the most demanding workloads. The boost clock reaches 2.8 GHz, while the custom lighting game synchronizes with the system's sound effects to create an immersive experience during gaming. The cooling system with seven heatpipes and three 100mm fans ensures optimal temperatures even under sustained load.

Exclusive Features of the Reva Edition
In addition to the aesthetic design, this edition includes exclusive digital content: themed wallpapers, preconfigured lighting profiles that recreate iconic scenes from the series, and early access to the Reva DLC for several compatible games. The control software allows customization not only of the lighting but also of the fan system sounds, which can be adjusted to mimic the soundscapes of different Reva locations. Each unit includes a numbered certificate of authenticity and a scale statue of the main character.
This is not a Reva-themed graphics card; it is a piece of the Reva universe that happens to be an exceptional graphics card.
