Recently upgraded my build from an ASRock Steel Legend Intel B580 to an ASRock Steel Legend RX 9070 XT. Thought I'd provide some images for a side by side comparison. Love the aesthetics of these cards as think it suits my build well - so was happy that the 9070 XT was virtually identical to the B580 in terms of looks. With regards to dimensions - it's a smidge longer and a bit thicker. The design looks to have been beefed up a bit as there is an internal bar that runs from the back along the side to give it additional strength to help prevent sag (but my motherboard also comes with a built in bracket for the GPU as well).
Overall - very happy with my build now! - the only slight niggle I have is that the NZXT Kraken doesn't show GPU temp on the display! - it's a known issue with CAM (their latest update was in January) - and unfortunately, they don't seem in too much of a hurry to fix it anytime soon. There's an open ticket on their support pages regarding it and it's had over 165 votes on it.. but they seem to be focusing on crap that no one else really cares about that barely have double digit votes!.. still, a minor complaint in the scheme of things.
SPECS:
