March 12th, at exactly 10 AM, JD.com unleashed a flash sale that reportedly vanished in seconds. I didn’t even manage to log in until 10:18, just hoping to catch the spectacle. To my surprise, there was one Red Devil card left, and I ended up snagging it by sheer luck. Just last month, I had purchased a 7800 XT, which I quickly sold at a $100 loss.

Let me share my impressions. The packaging boasts a massive bull logo—bold, aggressive, and exuding a sense of raw power. As for the card itself, the first thing you notice is its sheer size. It dwarfs my ZOTAC 2080—it’s absurdly enormous! Bigger, thicker, longer—it’s like everything has been amplified to epic proportions. Check out images 1 through 7 for a closer look.

The overall design features a striking black-and-red color scheme that perfectly complements my black sea-view PC case. It’s sleek and undeniably stylish. The red rear LED lights add an electrifying touch, amplifying both the performance and combat vibes. You can also switch it to ARGB mode for synchronized lighting effects, though the bold red remains unmatched—it suits the “Red Devil” name perfectly. For visuals, check out images 8 through 10.

One challenge arises when pairing this beast with an ASUS motherboard, which has a slightly sunken PCIe slot. This creates some tight clearances for cables and jumpers, especially considering how thick the Red Devil is. If it were any thicker, the jumpers might not fit at all! To stabilize the setup, I used a small figurine to prop up the card, and it fits snugly. See images 11 and 12 for details.

Performance-wise, this card delivers. It scored an impressive 30,300 on Time Spy benchmarks. After running甜甜圈 (a stress test) for 10 minutes, the core temperature stabilized at 62°C while the VRAM hit a scorching 92°C. That memory heat is no joke! However, during gameplay, it shines. Recently, I’ve been playing Monster Hunter: World, and the experience is buttery smooth with consistently high frame rates—it’s exhilarating. Screenshots are available in images 13 and 14.

On a side note, the release of the 9070 series is truly a gift to gamers. Its performance rivals the 4080, dominating in 4K gaming. Compare that to the competition—one brand keeps shrinking cores and milking every ounce of performance they can, while another focuses heavily on AI and burns through ports, often mixing defective chips into their lineup.

This time around, AMD absolutely delivers!
