XFXSwift AMD Radeon RX 9070XT Triple Fan Gaming Edition with 16GB GDDR6 HDMI 3xDP, AMD RDNA 4 RX-97TSWF3BA

The media could not be loaded. Bought the 9070 OC Swft Edition. It is working great and I’m happy with the purchase so far. This marks my move to AMD gpus after using nvidia cards for years.Background: I have a 5600x on a matx B550 Tuf Wifi board. I am using an Nzxt 510 case. I am coming from a rtx 3070 and play on 1440p. I have been starting to notice games like Hogwarts legacy(which is terribly optimized where gpu might not be the exact issue), marvel rivals, and a couple others couldn’t push my 3070 to high settings/over 100 frames unless I lowered the resolution or quality settings to low.I wanted a card that would let me enjoy better quality and keep my frames past 100 and preferably close to my monitor’s ability of 144. Also, I wanted to future proof a bit more by finding a card that is 16gb or higher. I also wanted to make sure I got the msrp pricing. Then I scored with this cardThe 9070 OC SwiftPhysically: This thing looks epic. This card is huge. Definitely needs a gpu support thing. Although I don’t think the 3.5 slot size as the xfx website says is accurate. It is just a touch larger than 3 slots. I originally planned to get a new full atx am4 motherboard as I assumed it wouldn’t fit on my matx board (tuf b550m wifi) because I thought it would block the headers on bottom, but luckily it fits! It barely clears the usb header, front panel header, but it does graze the plugs, but not enough to be an issue. WIN! I just had to bend the wire part of the cable away a little.Functionally: The fans run well, no extra noises like vibrations or coil whine. It started right up. Kind of wish the white led “xfx” could be turned off or was rgb and could be set to a different color, but it is always on. It runs games like I hoped it would and easily blows my 3070 away. I can get to my monitors max of 144 with all the games I play at high or ultra settings. Honestly, glad I went for this instead of the XT version, because it saves me money and this already does exactly what I need and more. My cpu does bottleneck this gpu and lower settings, so will be needing to upgrade my cpu soon.Software: A lot of users have previously said the AMD software was finicky, but this one seems to work just fine along with its drivers.This was day 1. I’ll update and possibly add some numbers when I get some more usage time.I’m really happy with the purchase and getting this at MSRP is great. I don’t think I would have bought it for the inflated price by amazon, and definitely NOT WORTH the scalped price , but at 550, it’s a no brainer. The higher prices would sway me to get the 5070 as I’ve seen models go for 550. Hopefully you all get a graphics card at a solid price, too. Thanks XFX!

UPDATE 01.10.2023. If you have an UPS between the wall plug and you PC make sure that can deliver enough Watt. My UPS beeps if the power draws more than 350 Watt. So I had to undervolt and tweak heavily the RX 6750 XT in order the UPS does not beep becauso of overload constantly while gaming. Since this GPU is super power efficient on idle, it draws only 5 Watt on idle, that is on normal tasks obviously not an problem. I play only Enlisted as game. So on Enlisted I had to adjust Adrenalin to follows so the entire system stays around 330 Watt as of the power drawing from the wall (UPS). Power % is on -6%, Max Frequency of the GPU is limited to 2425 Mhz and Voltage is reduced to 1170 mV. Undervolting the GPU on Adrenaline automatically gives me an value of 1175 mV so my manual undervolting is close to that. At 1160 mV undervolted the drivers tend to crash sometimes while gaming so 1170 mV is a stable value for this RX 6750 XT card. With these setting the Watt stays around 330 Watt as drawn from the UPS and on Medium settings on Enlisted I get around 330 fps, on High settings I get around 270 fps and on Ultra I get around 190 fps. At High settings and 270 fps the Hotspot temp of the RX 6750 XT shows 83 degrees Celsius and the GPU temp shows 73 degrees Celsius while the card is loaded to 97%. Mostly I sync the fps to my monitors Herz and that is 60 Hz in Enlisted and then the Hotspot temp is around 63 degrees Celsius (card load is around 20%).So make sure your UPS is capable enough for this card if not you can adjust on Adrenaline by limiting the GPU.MAIN ReviewI will update this review if in the future happens an issue.This works like advertised. The box came pretty much banged up but the inner box did not show any damages or tampering.The card had all plastic covers still on so this is an new product despite the banged up outer box.I recommend this RX 6750 XT.It showed at first installing and booting up the picture without any drivers installed. It gave me at booting up an picture. Then I installed Adrenalin and all is fine and adjusted.I installed this card in an XPG Invader case and it fits. It is an medium (midi) ATX tower case. It works together with the Ryzen 5900X, 64 GB DDR4 3200 MT/s Teamwork T-Expert RAM, 4 x 120 mm Arctic case fans, 600 Watt PSU, 120 GB Adata SSD, 256 GB Teamwork SSD and the MSi B450-A Max Pro motherboard. My first own build and allmost all components come from Amazon. This my own built was an "proof of concept" build.Be aware that your UPS must be big enough to deliver enough Watt for this GPU since my APC 500 beeps if the whole system draws over 350 Watt. Same UPS did not do that when in another similar sistem with the Ryzen 5700G and RX 6600 installed. Even undervolted this RX 6750 XT makes the whole sistem draw over 350 Watts from the socket and the UPS starts to beep so I have to limit the fps on the Enlisted game I play with this to 60 fps since my monitor is 60 Hz. I can go as high as 120 fps on the RX 6750 XT in that game without any problems but soon as I set the fps to 144 then the UPS beeps continuously. At 60 fps on high or ultra settings this RX 6750 XT draws around 70 Watts and on 120 fps it draws around 113 Watts.I tried to undervolt the GPU on Adrenalin already to 95% and -6% power but the UPS still starts to beep att 144 fps. At undervolting to 92% drivers crash. So one can undervol this RX 6750 XT only safe to about 95% while maintaining -6% power. Since it did not do a noticeable difference I just hit the undervolt automatically button instead of custom and it undervolts to 1175 mV. This GPU is indeed a bit to big of an power draw for my UPS but by careeful managing it will work.At idle this RX 6750 XT is very power saving drawing only 5 Watts (5 to 8 Watts). My RX 6600 draws on idle 4 Watts so this one is allmost as efficient.The fans of this XFX Qick stop below 60 degrees Celsius and turn only while gaming (Enlisted) on when the temps go over 60 degrees Celsius. At gaming the card is at hotspot mosttly at 64 degrees Celsius and the fans turn at 660 rpm. So this card stays cool due to it's massive cooler. Since my UPS does not allow for testing the maximum on fps I get with this card, I can not tell you in the Enlisted game how hot this XFX RX 6750 XT would get on full performance and without any fps restrictions.The end point of the GPU is somewhat flexible so you better use an GPU bracket holder to stabilize GPU drag.The quicker VRAM speed of this versus the RX 6600 makes that it uses less VRAM on the Enlisted game.Other than that this card has the potential to be one of the coolest cards due to it's superb cooling system.The backplate is metal (Aluminum) and acts as an heat sink which has heat transfer pads on both sides.Normally I go for the Asus or MSi brand and this XFX brand is new to me but it outperforms coolingwise already now my other Asus RX 6600. I chose the XFX brand since it is an american brand.I just read in the manual of the XFX that drivers and Adrenalin is not supposed to be installed before the GPU is istalled since the GPU will give the monitor automatically an signal or picture as it seems. After that you can install the Adrenalin software. Exactly as that it worked as well in my case. No problems whatsoever to get a signal, that is a picture on the screen.Only 359$ is a bit a steep of a price for this as this should be the price of the RX 6800 and the RX 6750 XTt should price around 300$ only. The price is a bit high at 360$, basically 60$ to expensive about.Specially no one knows the quality of the components used by XFX while one can be sure Asus will use most likely quality components which have an long durability. I have no clue what components and quality is XFX using in their GPU's. XFX cooling system is however superb and better than others as it seems.The cooling system of the XFX cards is held simple: massive grid cooler with slaped on fans and use of heat transfer pads. On the backside the aluminum backplate acts as an heat sink since it is connected with heat transfer pads for processor, VRAM and the like. Then 4 bigger heat pipes. An simple but effective cooling system.This XFX Qick RX 6750 XT has "zero frost". "zero dB" fans which are off below 60 degrees Celsius and the card is super quiet. No noise at all. No coil wind noise at all on mine.If the components hold up and are durable, then I recomment this brand. This card AMD RX 6750 XT is a good mid level card even in 2023.
