Sapphire is releasing a custom Valor Mortis edition of its Nitro+ Radeon RX 9070 XT

One More Level, the studio behind the impressive Ghostrunner, is set to launch its first-person action soulslike Valor Mortis on October 14 for $39.99 USD. The supernatural action game is set during the Napoleonic era, where you play as a former soldier in the ruler's army who is brought back to life. Visually and artistically, the world of Valor Mortis is impressive, and on PC it's set to launch with support for AMD's FSR 'Redstone' technologies.

With the release right around the corner, One More Level has partnered with Sapphire to create a custom Radeon RX 9070 XT NITRO+ OC Valor Mortis Edition GPU. In addition to including a free copy of Valor Mortis, Sapphire's flagship NITRO+ model gets a Valor Mortis makeover. This includes a custom metal backplate (which is magnetic and removable on the NITRO+) featuring the game's art and logo, plus 'VM' branding on the fans.

Elsewhere, this is the same award-winning Radeon RX 9070 XT NITRO+ from Sapphire, with a 3060MHz out-of-the-box overclocked Boost Clock speed. Like previous versions, it's one of the few RDNA 4 graphics cards to use the new PCIe 12V-2x6 power connector. One main reason is the hidden cable design, routed beneath the magnetic backplate for a clean, stylish look.

Rounding out the specs, like all Radeon RX 9070 XT cards, it also features 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit interface and 64 Compute Units. We're big fans of the NITRO+ design, as seen in our review of the Radeon RX 9070 XT NITRO+ and its SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 9070 XT NITRO+ PhantomLink refresh, which includes a GC-HPWR power delivery option via the motherboard, removing the need for any cabling. It's also a design that feels perfect for collaborations like this, thanks to the steel box frame and magnetic backplate.

And with Valor Mortis launching with recommended specs calling for a Radeon RX 7900 GRE or GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, the Radeon RX 9070 XT, with FSR 4, should have no issue playing the game with high settings and a high frame rate.
