XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT White Triple Fan Gaming Edition
The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 XT White Gaming Edition video card arrived to us in a sealed retail package. The same old box-in-a-box packaging kept the cardboard well protected. All you see on opening is a placard describing the warranty and the video card in a thick plastic bag.
The video card is all white with a brushed aluminum backplate. On the highest right edge is an LED XFX logo. The highest shroud is thick plastic and holds three 100mm 11-bladed white double ball bearing axial fans. Just below the shroud, you’ll be able to see a generous aluminum finned heatsink that runs your complete length of the shroud and uses 6mm heatpipes. The backplate also wraps across the heatsink barely and has a big cut-out on the correct end for increased ventilation. The front and rear of the cardboard are also open barely for airflow. All of this, including the nickel-plated heatsink, is dubbed the Ghost Thermal system by XFX and is in its 4th revision on our XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 XT White Gaming Edition card.
The design of this video card is straightforward, however the lines are clean, and the white color works thoroughly. Overall, the cardboard feels sturdy with a superb fit and finish. The cardboard measures 12.8″ x 5.91″ x 2.56″ inches in accordance with XFX. For those who measure the video card with a ruler in English Imperial measure, it’s 12 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches (3.5 slots overall) and weighs in at 3 kilos 1.4 ounces. It has 3x DisplayPort 2.1 and 1x HDMI 2.1 on board. The Total Board Power is listed at 304 Watts, and an 800-Watt PSU is really helpful at minimum. The cardboard requires two 8-pin PCIe connectors. There may be a really generous cut-out on the back for simple placement of the connectors. This video card is PCIe Gen 5.0 x16 capable.
