ASUS announces T1 RTX 5070, 5060 Ti

ASUS said on May 15 that it had launched two T1-branded graphics cards built around Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5070 and RTX 5060 Ti chips, extending gaming-hardware collaborations deeper into esports merchandising. The company announced the cards in partnership with T1, the South Korean organization best known for its League of Legends world championship teams. ASUS framed the release as both a hardware launch and a fan collectible program, pairing the cards with themed software, special packaging items and a contest tied to T1 experiences in South Korea. The products are listed as the ASUS T1 GeForce RTX 5070 OC Edition 12GB GDDR7 and the ASUS T1 GeForce RTX 5060 Ti OC Edition 8GB GDDR7. ### Which cards did ASUS actually announce? The May 15 ASUS release named two models: a T1 GeForce RTX 5070 and a T1 GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. ASUS’s product pages list them as overclocked editions with 12GB of GDDR7 memory on the RTX 5070 and 8GB of GDDR7 memory on the RTX 5060 Ti. ASUS said the cards are based on its existing cooling and manufacturing stack rather than on a new board design unique to T1. (press.asus.com) The company highlighted Axial-tech fans, MaxContact cooling on the press page, Auto-Extreme manufacturing and GPU Guard durability features, while the RTX 5070 product page describes a 2.5-slot design with three fans. ### What makes these different from standard ASUS cards? ASUS said the T1 versions carry team-specific visuals across the shroud and backplate, including the T1 logo, player portraits and signatures. The company described the RTX 5070 model as using a black-and-white palette with red accents, while the RTX 5060 Ti version uses a more prominent red-and-white treatment. (press.asus.com) The accessories also tilt toward collectors. ASUS’s tech-spec page for the RTX 5070 lists a T1 collaboration magnet, a T1 collaboration sticker, a thank-you card and an adapter cable in the box. ASUS also said a bundled version of its GPU Tweak III utility includes a T1-themed interface. ### What did T1 say about the partnership? (press.asus.com) Josh Ahn, T1’s chief operating officer, said in ASUS’s release that T1 had “joined forces with industry leader ASUS” to combine the team’s competitive identity with PC hardware. ASUS presented the launch as a collaboration aimed at fans as much as at buyers looking for a graphics-card upgrade. (asus.com) T1’s branding is central to the pitch. ASUS said the cards were designed to bring “esports history into premium hardware design,” language that places the release alongside other limited-run products built around teams, players or championship moments. That characterization comes from ASUS’s release, not from an independent sales disclosure or shipment target. (press.asus.com) ### Are price and sales details available yet? ASUS’s press release says availability and pricing vary by region and directs buyers to contact local ASUS representatives for more information. The company’s product pages also say products may not be available in all markets and that specifications and features vary by model. (press.asus.com) ASUS has not published broad U.S. store pricing for the T1 cards on the product pages surfaced in search results. By comparison, an ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB OC Edition is listed on ASUS’s U.S. site at $469.99, offering a reference point for the underlying non-T1 class of product rather than a confirmed T1 price. ### What is the Korea giveaway tied to the launch? (press.asus.com) ASUS said the “We Are T1” contest runs from May 15 through June 30, 2026, and asks fans to recreate or reinterpret a memorable T1 moment using ASUS templates or product images. The company said entries are handled through Gleam activities and shared with the hashtag #ASUST1Gaming. The campaign page says 10 grand-prize winners will receive a T1-themed experience in South Korea, with lodging, meals and local transportation for a two-day itinerary covered by ASUS, but not international airfare. (asus.com) The same page lists four RTX 5070 cards as second prizes and four RTX 5060 Ti cards as third prizes. June 30, 2026, is the next concrete date attached to the launch. (asus.com) ASUS said regional availability details will come through local channels, while the giveaway and product pages remain live on the company’s sites.
