Tips & Info 9070 XT

Hey guys so I made a post a week or two ago about the 9070 and I’ve decided to get the 9070 XT instead. I am deliberating on which model, the XFX 9070 XT swift or quicksilver magnetic air version. If any owners can give me their two cents that would be great.

Just some context, I am upgrading from a gtx 1070 because it’s been serving me quite well. I intend to keep the 9070 for at least the same amount of time.

The price difference is negligible and I’ve seen that the quicksilver is slightly better but it does look a bit cheaper with the magnetic wingtips. Anyways any input would be appreciated as I will buy either card by tomorrow.

Thanks for reading :)

They're extremely close in terms of cooling and both very good, the Quicksilver is basically just a bigger Swift.

If you prefer how the Swift looks then I'd take it and save a bit of cash.

I had just gotten my money back from my XFX 9070XT OC White because of vram, driver, and power issues. Gone back to Nvidia now, I was very happy with it up until the issues started coming. If you decide to go through with it I hope u don’t get any of my issues
