Gigabyte Hardware Powers Valorant Concept Net Cafe in Shanghai

Gigabyte's AORUS motherboards, RTX 5070 GPUs, and power supplies are powering a new Valorant concept net cafe in Shanghai during the 2026 Valorant Champions.

Valorant fans in Shanghai just got a brand-new spot to hang out, and it's packing some serious hardware under the hood. During the 2026 Valorant Champions, Riot's tactical shooter has teamed up with Balenciaga to launch a Valorant concept net cafe right in the heart of the city.

From September 24 to October 18, you can head over to B115, No. 6 Yongyuan Road in Jing'an District, Shanghai. The space blends Valorant's esports vibe with fashion elements, offering everything from competitive matches to watch parties and limited-time activities.

So what's actually inside these gaming rigs? The setup features an AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, paired with a Gigabyte B850M AORUS Elite motherboard, a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card, and a Gigabyte P850W power supply. Basically, it's a high-performance platform built specifically for high-frame-rate competitive titles like Valorant.

The RTX 5070 is based on NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, delivering plenty of graphical muscle for high-refresh-rate gaming. For a game like Valorant, where high frames, low latency, and stable visuals are everything, that extra GPU power lays a solid foundation for a smooth, responsive esports display setup.

Keeping all that hardware fed is Gigabyte's P850W power supply, which provides stable juice for the CPU and GPU even under sustained heavy loads. It also leaves plenty of headroom for the whole system, so you don't have to worry about power bottlenecks during marathon sessions.

Beyond just hopping on a PC, the concept cafe also hosts events like a "One-Day Net Cafe Manager" experience, limited-edition cosplayers, Champions watch parties, and interactive challenges. It's all about letting players dive deeper into the Valorant esports ecosystem in a real offline space.

From the main stage to the net cafe, from high-frame-rate competition to in-person互动, high-performance hardware remains the backbone of any esports experience. Gigabyte's motherboards, GPUs, and power supplies powering this Valorant concept cafe show the company's continued commitment to esports hardware and real-world gaming spaces, delivering a stable and efficient experience for players.
