Daegu-daero, Jung-gu — graphics cards and the advice before the sale
RTX 50-series and Radeon RX 9000-series cards, on the shelf and behind the counter, with honest answers about your monitor, your case and the power supply you already own.
Open Mon–Sat 10:00–19:00 · +82-53-421-9988
Our shelves and order book center on the current generation of gaming and creator cards. That means NVIDIA's RTX 50-series at the top end, including creator-oriented variants like the ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 with its 32GB of GDDR7 memory, and AMD's Radeon RX 9000-series as the main performance-per-won counterweight.
We carry AIB partner boards rather than only reference designs, because that is where cooler quality and factory tuning differ most. If a card is not in stock, we tell you the honest lead time instead of a placeholder date — no invented ship windows, no quiet substitutions.
A GPU chip is only half the product. The board around it decides noise, temperature, and physical size — which is why two cards sold as the same class can feel nothing alike once they are in your case.
Reviewed as a better-value custom RX 9070 XT that still fits some smaller but long cases, with modest factory tuning rather than a ground-up redesign. It is the board we hand to a build that needs frames without rebuilding the whole room.

ASUS takes the opposite route, aiming this board at AI development and content creation as much as gaming. Same silicon family logic as the card beside it, a very different room it belongs in — and a much longer footprint.

High-end cards draw serious wattage. The RTX 5090 is especially associated with very high power demand, and some custom RX 9070 XT boards are reported to exceed 300W — a real number if your PSU is a 650W unit from an older build. We ask about the power supply before we recommend anything. Not to upsell, but because a card that browns out under load is not a good purchase at any price.
Bring the exact model, not just the number. Age, rail layout and connector count all matter as much as the printed total.
Several custom boards in this class are reported above 300W under load. A 650W unit from an older build is where the warning starts.
If your supply is borderline, replacing it is cheaper than diagnosing instability later. We will say so before you buy the card, not after.
Most buyers we talk to in Daegu game at 1440p, and reviewers have called that resolution the sweet spot for the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT. A flagship is often overkill there. For 4K, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has been reviewed as one of the stronger value cards below the highest tier, and with upscaling and frame generation a cheaper model can go further than its raw raster numbers suggest. We will say plainly when a card is more than your use case needs.
The card we recommend most
Released in 2025 as part of the RX 9000-series generation, with reviewers noting strong raster performance and real pricing pressure on the competing NVIDIA cards. For a 1440p build it usually ends the conversation; for 4K it is the value pick people keep coming back to.
RX 9000-series · raster value · upscaling support
The RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT class is where reviewers point, and it is what we usually recommend unless you have a specific reason to go higher. A flagship here spends your money on headroom you may never use.
Upscaling and frame generation stretch the midrange further than the raw numbers suggest. A flagship helps; it is not the only path to a 4K build that holds up.
Length and thickness matter as much as frames. Some RX 9070 XT customs are compact enough for smaller but long cases, while flagship RTX 5090 boards are large in every dimension. Measure before you order, or bring your case specs and let us check. We keep dimension information for the models we carry so a card does not arrive and then not fit.
Clearance to the drive cage, the front fan, and the side panel. A card listed at one length rarely lands the same way once cables are in the way.
If you are local, drop your case at the counter or send photos of the interior with the side panel off. We compare them against the boards we have on hand.
A card that physically fits but chokes against the front intake is a short-lived win. We talk about where the heat goes, not only whether the lid closes.
Cooling and acoustics are frequent focus points in custom-card reviews precisely because they separate partner boards from reference models. Coil whine and temperature management show up in 2026 partner-card testing, and two boards with identical chips can land very differently in a quiet room.
We factor this into what we recommend, and we tell you what each board is known for. A card you keep for four years should not be one you resent hearing.

This is the most common head-to-head in the current market, and price-to-performance dominates it. The ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT appears in deal and review coverage as one of the least expensive custom RX 9070 XT variants, and it is routinely benchmarked against the RTX 5070 Ti. Bring us your monitor resolution and we will walk the tradeoffs with you.
| What decides it | Radeon RX 9070 XT | GeForce RTX 5070 Ti |
|---|---|---|
| Price-to-performance | The side reviewers keep calling the stronger raster value, and the side pricing pressure has been felt on most often. | Usually the higher ticket for a similar raster result, which is exactly why the comparison keeps coming up. |
| Custom board spread | Wide, from cheap ASRock variants up to heavier triple-fan customs, so cooler and length choices differ a lot. | Also broad, with partner boards that trade noise and size differently for the same chip. |
| Feature ties | Upscaling and frame generation both stretch the card beyond raw raster numbers, which is why cheap models still hold up at 4K. | If a specific piece of software or a feature you already rely on matters, that can shift the answer away from price alone. |
| Where it lands | The default for a 1440p build that wants headroom without paying for it twice. | The pick when the software or the upgrade path already points that way. |
Partly. The ProArt RTX 5090 was reviewed in 2026 as a variant positioned for AI development and content creation, and its 32GB of GDDR7 matters far more to a video editor or a local AI tinkerer than to someone playing at 1440p. For pure gaming, the premium tier draws criticism on value, and that criticism is fair.
If your work pays for the card, the math changes. If it does not, we will point you down a tier without drama — and you can put the difference into a monitor or an SSD you will actually notice.
Gaming gets the headlines, but a meaningful share of high-end buyers here are editing video, running local models, or doing 3D work. For that audience the ProArt RTX 5090's 32GB of GDDR7 and creator-oriented design are the relevant specs, and gaming performance is a bonus.
The same power and case advice applies, only harder. Tell us what software you run and we will tailor the recommendation to it.
You can walk in at 9, Daegu-daero, Jung-gu, and ask a person. You can call +82-53-421-9988 with your current build and get a straight answer about whether an upgrade is worth it. Local pickup also means if a board shows up with an issue, you are not shipping it across an ocean. That is not a marketing line, it is just logistics, and logistics are most of a good GPU purchase.
Mon–Sat, 10:00–19:00. Bring the monitor resolution, the case model and the power supply — those three answers shorten the whole conversation.
We lean on documented review outcomes for specific models rather than a generic best-card list, because the best card depends on your resolution, your PSU, and what you do besides game.
The RX 9070 XT's reputation for value came out of comparisons against the RTX 5070 Ti in real benchmarks, not marketing. When we are unsure about a board's behavior, we say so. Confidence without a basis is how people end up with the wrong card.

Start with your PSU model
For most 1440p builds, the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT class is where reviewers point, and it is what we usually recommend unless you have a specific reason to go higher. A flagship card at 1440p spends money on headroom you may never use.
The ProArt RTX 5090 was reviewed as creator-focused, and its 32GB of GDDR7 is most valuable for AI development and content creation. For pure gaming, the premium tier draws fair criticism on value. If your work does not pay for it, consider one tier down.
The RTX 5090 is associated with very high power demand, and some custom RX 9070 XT boards exceed 300W. Bring your PSU model and we will tell you if it is sufficient. If it is borderline, replacing it is cheaper than diagnosing instability later.
They are routinely compared, and price-to-performance usually decides it. The RX 9070 XT has drawn attention for strong raster performance and value. If a specific feature or piece of software matters to you, that can shift the answer.
It varies by partner. Cooling and acoustics are frequent review focus points, and coil whine shows up in partner-card testing. We can tell you what each board we carry is known for rather than treating them as identical.
The RX 9070 XT has been reviewed as one of the stronger value cards for 4K below the top tier, and upscaling plus frame generation stretch midrange cards further. A flagship helps, but it is not the only path to 4K.
One message with your monitor, case and power supply is usually enough for a real recommendation. We answer during shop hours, Mon–Sat, 10:00–19:00.
