Recently we covered a couple of great deals on the latest MacBook Air wherein both the 13- and the 15-inch variants. Check them out in this dedicated piece here.
If however you have a desktop and are looking to upgrade the dedicated GPU for 1440p gaming the PowerColor Reaper 9070 XT is a great buy at just $530 via Newegg Doorbuster and $670 on Amazon, one of its lowest prices recently (purchase link under the specs table down below).
Performance-wise, it's nearly as fast as the RTX 5070 Ti in general rasterization, although it does fall behind in ray tracing. In AI crunching too it's fairly capable, and has 16GB VRAM so you never have to worry about overflowing it at 1440p or even 4K.
The Reaper cooler uses a dual‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer.
The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below:
