Newegg prices ABS Stratos II Ruby at $2,549 with 96MB cache

Newegg is selling the ABS Stratos II Ruby pre-built gaming PC for $2,549.99. The price represents a $450 drop from the original list price. The system targets buyers seeking high-end components without the cost of a custom build.

The computer features an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor. This eight-core chip utilizes 3D V-Cache technology to provide 96MB of L3 cache. The increased cache reduces reliance on slower system memory, which helps maintain consistent frame rates during gameplay. Tom's Hardware ranks the processor near the top of its gaming CPU benchmarks and notes that no Intel chip currently matches its performance in that category.

Graphics handling is managed by an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. The card belongs to the current Blackwell generation and includes 8,960 CUDA cores. It is equipped with 16GB of GDDR7 video memory, offering more capacity than the 8GB found in the lower-tier RTX 5060 and RTX 5050. The hardware supports 1440p and 4K gaming and includes Nvidia's multi-frame generation feature for ray tracing workloads.

Supporting components include 32GB of DDR5 memory split across two 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB modules. These run at a speed of 6,000 MT/s. Storage is handled by a 2TB Team Group NV5000 M.2 SSD with Gen 4 speeds. The system also includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Ethernet connectivity. A Bitspower 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler manages the processor's heat output.

ABS operates as a brand exclusive to Newegg. Because of this relationship, ABS systems appear frequently in the retailer's inventory. Tom's Hardware identified the Stratos II Ruby as the most affordable RTX 5070 Ti pre-built currently available on Newegg. The outlet stated that the combination of the 9800X3D and the graphics card makes the current price a strong value for the market. It also predicted that the discounted units would sell out quickly.
