THE CRUNCH

AX Gaming has launched a limited-edition RTX 5070 that doubles as an air freshener, featuring an 'e-sports aromatherapy' system and an anime character on the backplate. The card uses a white-purple gradient and UV printing techniques to create an autumn-themed aesthetic with ARGB lighting and maple leaf motifs. Performance-wise, it retains the standard 12GB of GDDR7 and 6,144 CUDA cores, though the fragrance module's

refill mechanism remains unconfirmed. The card includes a dual-layer metal backplate, five 8mm heat pipes, and hidden power cabling. AX Gaming describes the design as a 'strictly limited' release, suggesting it will command a premium price.

This product highlights the growing trend of highly stylised, limited-run components in the enthusiast market. While the aromatherapy feature is unusual, the card's thermal design and standard specifications suggest it is a viable gaming component for those who prioritise aesthetics.

AX Gaming has stated the card is a strictly limited release, which may affect availability and pricing.
