ASUS Expands Dual Evo Lineup with Compact GeForce RTX 5070 Evo Graphics Cards
ASUS has quietly introduced new additions to its Dual Evo graphics card series: the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 5070 Evo and the Dual GeForce RTX 5070 Evo OC. These models are designed to deliver high-end performance in a compact form factor, making them ideal for small form factor (SFF) PC builds. Both cards feature the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU with 12 GB of memory, all within a chassis measuring just 229 × 120 × 50 mm.
Key Features and Specifications
The new RTX 5070 Evo models continue ASUS’s focus on compatibility and efficient cooling. Both the standard and OC versions utilize a 2.5-slot shroud and cooler design, which is thicker than the 2.0-slot design found on the earlier RTX 5060 Dual Evo cards, but still slimmer than many other RTX 5070 offerings, such as the 3.2-slot ROG Strix GeForce RTX 5070. This makes the Dual Evo series particularly attractive for users seeking powerful GPUs that fit into more compact cases.
The OC Edition offers a modest increase in clock speeds, with a standard boost clock of 2,542 MHz (up from 2,512 MHz on the base model) and an OC mode clock speed of 2,572 MHz (up from 2,542 MHz). These enhancements are achieved through a slight vBIOS adjustment, suggesting that similar performance gains may be possible on the standard model with manual tuning using ASUS GPU Tweak III software.
Design and Connectivity
The design of the Dual GeForce RTX 5070 Evo series is understated and functional. The shroud features a sleek, angular look with a dual-texture black finish, housing two axial fans for efficient cooling. The heatsink incorporates a flow-through design for the rear fan, optimizing airflow and thermal performance. Notably, the PCIe power connector is positioned centrally on the side of the GPU, a departure from the traditional rear placement, which can further aid in cable management for compact builds.
Availability and Pricing
While ASUS has published full product pages and specifications for the Dual GeForce RTX 5070 Evo and Evo OC on its official website, the company has not yet made a formal public announcement. The cards are not currently available through retail channels, and pricing details have not been released at this time.
With their compact dimensions, efficient cooling, and understated design, the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 5070 Evo and Evo OC are poised to be strong contenders for enthusiasts and builders seeking high-performance GPUs for small form factor PCs. As more information becomes available, these models are expected to attract attention from users prioritizing both power and compatibility in their next build.
