Who each one is for

The AMD ASRock Taichi Radeon RX 9070 XT suits full-tower builds with generous GPU clearance and overclockers wanting the highest factory boost clock in this lineup, though it is not built for mid-tower or compact builds without confirmed 330mm+ clearance and SFF or small-case builds. It is equally the pick for buyers who want dual BIOS flexibility between quiet and OC fan profiles. It is not the one for buyers on a tight budget, this is a premium-priced AIB card. it is not the pick for 4K/high-refresh gamers if this card's tier sits below High-End.
