ASRock Radeon™ RX 9070 XT Steel Legend Dark (16GB GDDR6)
R17,575.00 inc. VAT
The ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Steel Legend Dark 16GB is the all-black variant of ASRock’s Steel Legend RX 9070 XT — same RDNA 4 Navi 48 silicon, same 64 compute units and 4096 stream processors, same 2× 8-pin power simplicity and 3× DisplayPort 2.1a output layout, but dressed in a dark shroud with Polychrome SYNC ARGB fans that pop harder against a black aesthetic. A reference-clocked 9070 XT with a clean build profile for builders who want serious performance without the white colour scheme.

Description
Same Silicon, Different Skin
The Steel Legend Dark shares its foundation entirely with the standard Steel Legend: AMD’s full Navi 48 die, 64 compute units, 4096 stream processors, 3rd-generation RT accelerators, 2nd-generation AI accelerators, and the complete RDNA 4 feature set. Boost clock sits at AMD’s reference 2970 MHz, game clock at 2400 MHz, with 16GB of GDDR6 running at 20 Gbps across a 256-bit bus for 640 GB/s of memory bandwidth and 64MB of Infinity Cache. FSR 4, HYPR-RX, Fluid Motion Frames with Anti-Lag 2, and hardware AV1 encoding are all onboard — nothing is cut or changed between the two colourways on the spec sheet.
The Dark Colourway — Built for Black and Neutral Builds
Where the standard Steel Legend uses a white and grey split fan shroud, the Dark edition goes full black across the shroud, backplate, and I/O bracket. The three ARGB fans retain the Striped Ring Fan blade design and full Polychrome SYNC lighting — and with a dark shroud behind them, the RGB contrast is notably more dramatic than on the white version. The hardware RGB toggle switch on the card edge remains, letting you kill the lighting entirely without software for a clean blacked-out look. Everything else is structurally identical: reinforced metal frame, Ultra-fit heatpipes, Air Deflecting Fins, Super Alloy power delivery components, and the full-length metal backplate.
3× DisplayPort, 2× 8-pin, PCIe 5.0
The output layout is unchanged: 3× DisplayPort 2.1a and 1× HDMI 2.1b supporting up to four simultaneous displays at up to 7680×4320. Power delivery uses 2× 8-pin PCIe connectors — simpler than the 3× 8-pin required by some competing 9070 XT models. A quality 750W+ PSU is recommended. Dimensions are 298 × 131 × 58mm (~2.9 slots) — identical to the white Steel Legend, so the same case clearance considerations apply.
💡 Same card, different colour: If you’re deciding between the Steel Legend and Steel Legend Dark, the only difference is the colourway. Choose based on your build’s aesthetic — white/grey vs black.
⚠️ No factory OC, no Dual BIOS: Reference clocks only — no factory overclock and no Dual BIOS switch. See the Gigabyte RX 9070 XT Gaming OC if either of those features is a priority.
⚠️ RGB software dependency: Full Polychrome SYNC control requires ASRock software. OpenRGB does not currently support this card. The hardware toggle disables lighting entirely without software.
⚠️ Case clearance: 298mm length and ~2.9 slots — verify clearance in mATX and smaller builds.
