Is it a good card?

Yes, very good, especially for the premium segment. Taichi is ASRock's top-of-the-line series: excellent cooling (quieter and cooler than many competitors), stable overclocking, premium build quality, cool appearance with LCD and ARGB. Reviews praise it for its quietness, temperatures, and performance above the reference. Ratings ~4.7/5 on Amazon/Newegg, lots of positive reviews about reliability and aesthetics.

Better than its competitors?

• In terms of performance, the RX 9070 XT generally competes with the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti (MSRP ~$700–800). In rasterization (regular rendering), AMD is often on par or slightly ahead, while in ray tracing and DLSS-like (FSR 4) Nvidia is ahead by 5–10–15% on average in 2025 tests. But AMD wins in price/performance, especially in 1440p/4K without RT.
• Taichi White is one of the best custom versions of the RX 9070 XT: better cooling and OC than the base models (Sapphire Pulse, PowerColor Reaper, etc.). Compared to competitors like ASUS TUF, Gigabyte Aorus, or Sapphire Nitro, it's on par or better in terms of noise/temperatures, plus it has a unique LCD screen.
• If you don't need white color/LCD, you can get a cheaper option (Challenger or base versions).

Price and comparison with competitors

• Original MSRP RX 9070 XT — $599 (reference/base models).
• ASRock Taichi (black) — ~$730 at launch, White OC version often $780–850+ (depending on region/retailer).
• Currently (February 2026) — actual prices for Taichi White ~$800–900+ (on Amazon/Newegg/Micro Center/Walmart), sometimes discounts up to ~$790.
