Consumers can purchase the ABS Stratos II Ruby pre-built gaming computer for $2,549.99 at Newegg. This price reflects a $450 reduction from the standard list price. The system includes 32GB of DDR5 memory, an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti graphics card.

ABS operates as a private label for Newegg, which explains the wide availability of the hardware on the retailer's platform. Tom's Hardware identified the Stratos II Ruby as the lowest-priced RTX 5070 Ti gaming PC currently listed on the site. The publication anticipates that inventory for this specific offer may deplete rapidly.

The central processing unit is an eight-core chip utilizing AMD's 3D V-Cache technology. This design provides 96MB of L3 cache, a feature that reduces the need for the processor to access slower system memory. According to Tom's Hardware, this architecture lowers latency and helps maintain stable frame rates. While the chip is no longer the absolute top performer in CPU benchmarks, it remains very close to the leaders. The outlet noted that no Intel processor matches the gaming performance of an X3D part.

The graphics processing unit is an Nvidia Blackwell card with 8,960 CUDA cores and 16GB of GDDR7 video memory. It is designed for mid- to high-tier performance at 1440p and 4K resolutions. The card supports DLSS with multi-frame generation. Tom's Hardware stated that the hardware can handle 4K gaming with ray tracing in current titles, though users may need to adjust settings in the most demanding games. The 16GB of video memory offers more capacity than the 8GB found on the RTX 5060 and RTX 5050.

The system includes two 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB memory modules running at 6,000 MT/s. Storage consists of a 2TB Team Group NV5000 M.2 SSD with Gen 4 speeds. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, and Ethernet. A Bitspower 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler manages the processor's thermal output.

Tom's Hardware described the current pricing as strong for the market. The assessment cited both the $450 discount and the specific pairing of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with the RTX 5070 Ti graphics card.
