Summary
Asus has launched three new RTX 40 series GPUs as part of its ‘TX series’ in China, further growing its already expansive list of options. The new cards include the RTX 4060, RTX 4060 Ti, and RTX 4070. They come in a size and shape similar to the ATS (ATS Shark/ Megalodon) series but have a white and teal color combination. All three cards have the same design and dimensions carrying three fans to dissipate heat efficiently.
Asus currently offers a wide range of RTX 40 series GPUs at a multitude of price points. These include the ROG Strix series, ROG Matrix series, TUF Gaming, ProArt, Dual, and even a Noctua version of its RTX 4080. In China, there is another series of RTX 40 series graphics cards called the ATS Shark or Megalodon series, which seems to be the inspiration behind the design for the new TX series.
Asus RTX 40 Series Models Currently Available
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4060 8GB OC Edition
The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4060 8GB OC Edition is the highest-end, performance-tier RTX 4060 one can currently buy. It also trades just shy of what an RTX 4060TI 8GB goes for, making it a questionable but very aesthetically superior purchase to many of its more dual-fan alternatives.
ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 OC
The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 OC is the fastest consumer-grade RTX 4070 GPU money can buy. It features excellent cooling and design, but it also comes with a price tag that not many would like to go with its three-slot, tri-fan design take on Nvidia’s mid-range RTX 4070 GPU.
ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4070 OC
The ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4070 OC is the most well-rounded offering from ASUS in terms of pricing, performance, and build quality when it comes to an RTX 4070. With excellent, quiet cooling, an above-average boost clock, and a rugged look, it is one of the best RTX 4070 SKUs money can buy.
ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 OC Edition
The Asus Dual GeForce RTX 4070 OC Edition is an excellent entry-level RTX 4070 GPU that gets the job done with a decent overclock, a quiet design, and a price tag that goes neck and neck with Nvidia’s own FE offerings MSRP. With 12GB of GDDR6X memory this generation, the Dual RTX 4070 OC is the go-to GPU for many smaller case owners and ITX builders this generation thanks to its more compact design and adequate cooling.

While the translation may not be 100 percent accurate, the company is selling its new TX (Tianxuan series) GAMING GeForce RTX 4070, RTX 4060 Ti, and RTX 4060 in China. All three cards have the exact same design with a white faceplate, white backplate, and teal accents. They measure 317x136x54mm and use a single 8-pin connector. As per Nvidia’s spec, the RTX 4060 is recommended to be used with a minimum 550W PSU while the other two should be used with a minimum 650W PSU. The clock speeds have not been mentioned on the website, unfortunately.
Pricing And Availability For Asus TX Series GPUs
The TX GAMING GeForce RTX 4070 ispriced at RMB 5298(around $735). The TX GAMING GeForce RTX 4060 Ticosts RMB 3799(around $527) and the TX GAMING GeForce RTX 4060 ispriced at RMB 2789(around $387). All three are being sold by Asus exclusively in China, and it is unclear if they will come to the global market.
When it comes to global availability, recently, AMD launched a new version of its Radeon RX 7900 XT called the 7900 XT GRE (Golden Rabbit Edition). It was originally unveiled in China but hit retail stores in other regions through system integrators. However, it has not made its way to the US market yet.
Radeon RX 7900 XT Alternatives
MSI Radeon RX 7900 XT Gaming Trio Classic 20G
The MSI Radeon RX 7900 XT Gaming Trio Classic 20G provides the best value on the market for intense 4K gaming. With a boost clock speed of 2400 MHz and 20 GB of GDDR6 memory, this MSI graphics card outshines the competition. The graphics card’s Torx 4.0 fan uses a ring-shaped construction to direct airflow toward heatsinks. Relying on a brushed aluminum backplate, the MSI Radeon RX 7900 XT Gaming Trio Classic 20G is built to withstand years of heat and abuse suffered in a gaming rig.
SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 7900 XT
The SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 7900 XT is a tried and true name when it comes to AMDs graphics cards. If you’re moving into the 1440p realm, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the performance of a 7900 XT, also making it a great option for heavy workloads thanks to its large VRAM capacity.
Furthermore, a recent leak suggested thatNvidia will not bring an RTX 4090 Tibut offer different versions of the RTX 4070 and 4060 SKUs based on the AD103 and AD106 chips respectively. It is unclear what these versions will be since both the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 cards already have ‘Ti’ variants.
