Galax Releases GeForce RTX 5070 in New Fire Edition

Galax has unveiled a completely new version of the GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card with the telling name Fire. Why did the company decide to name the new series that way? Is this trolling by one of Nvidia’s key partners in the Asian market? We will most likely not get answers to these questions.

The GeForce RTX 5070 with a stated power consumption of 250 W has a lower chance of catching fire due to a melted power connector, which cannot be said about the RTX 5090 model with a TDP of 575 W (incidents with the cards themselves burning out and melting 12 + 4-pin connectors have already happened). Yes, the RTX 5070 is also equipped with a 12V-2×6 connector, but it comes with an adapter only for two 8-pin PCIe connectors, so the card is unlikely to require more than 300 W of power. The GeForce RTX 5070 Fire from Galax does not have additional factory overclocking. The company does not specify the TDP limit for the new product, although it usually does.

Everything suggests that the Galax GeForce RTX 5070 Fire is a budget solution. Although it is equipped with three fans, its thickness is only two expansion slots. The coloring is as simple as possible (black). There is no RGB. The length of the card is 314 mm. Apparently, it is also quite light, since the manufacturer did not provide a stand in the package. As VideoCardz points out, the rear reinforcement plate of the card is somewhat reminiscent of a camping stove. Another hint?

The Galax GeForce RTX 5070 Fire has a base GPU clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz. The card is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR7 memory with a speed of 28 Gbps per contact and support for a 192-bit bus. The set of external connectors includes three DisplayPort 2.1b and one HDMI 2.1b.

Galax GeForce RTX 5070 Fire is sold exclusively in China.
