Newegg makes ABS Stratos II Ruby its lowest-cost RTX 5070 Ti option at $2,549.99

Newegg has lowered the price of the ABS Stratos II Ruby pre-built gaming PC to $2,549.99. This represents a $450 discount from the system's standard list price. The move positions the machine as the most affordable RTX 5070 Ti-equipped computer currently sold by the retailer.

The system features an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. It includes 32GB of DDR5 memory. ABS is a brand owned by Newegg, which is why its hardware appears frequently on the company's marketplace.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is an eight-core chip that utilizes AMD's 3D V-Cache technology. This design increases the L3 cache to 96MB. A larger cache allows the processor to access data faster, reducing the need to pull from slower system memory. This reduction in latency helps maintain consistent frame rates during gameplay.

The RTX 5070 Ti is a current-generation card based on Nvidia's Blackwell architecture. It contains 8,960 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 video memory. The card is designed for 1440p and 4K gaming and supports DLSS with multi-frame generation. According to Tom's Hardware, the extra video memory provides more capacity for textures and assets than the 8GB found in lower-tier models.

The remaining components include two 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB memory modules running at 6,000 MT/s. Storage is handled by a 2TB Team Group NV5000 M.2 solid-state drive with Gen 4 speeds. The system connects via Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Ethernet, and it uses a Bitspower 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler for thermal management.

Tom's Hardware described the current pricing as strong for the market. The outlet noted that the combination of the 9800X3D processor and the RTX 5070 Ti graphics card creates a competitive value proposition. The review team expects the discounted offer to sell out quickly due to the hardware specifications.
