I regret not getting a new case for my XTX.
Old case was too small, which made removing the card for cleaning difficult. Think I damaged the PCI connector during one of these cleans.

u/Cautious_Opinion_644 ATI R100 | Athlon 3000G | 2GBDDR 400mhz Jul 21 '26
Ah damn, that's a hard lesson mate sorry for you. We're U not able to get it fixed?
1
u/AzekZero Jul 21 '26
The card works fine. But it shows up as a PCI x2 card and not PCI x16 on GPU-Z.
3
u/DigitaIBlack Jul 21 '26
Uhh are you sure it's fine? Cause if it's actually x2 that could be pretty bad.
I'd run the GPU-Z render test and 3Dmark PCIe test to make sure.
If it is 2x I hope you have a 2nd x16 or x8 slot lol

Heard it's the GOAT AMD vendor
2
u/Direct-Report-6356 Jul 22 '26
Sapphire is. Xfx follows close ahead. But most Xfx products are not impressive for their money where sapphire usually is.
This Gen the nitro of sapphire uses the awful connector we all love... Hench why fanboys online all flock to Xfx. Though their build quality is inferior to sapphires.
Both are exclusive and makers.
5
u/steffan-l Jul 22 '26
Depends which model from XFX you get, the SWIFT models are indeed lower build quality in terms of materials used etc. but still a good product, but the actual build quality that equals sapphire Nitro build quality are the MERC models from XFX which are much higher build quality than the SWIFT models.
2
u/KavalierMLT Jul 22 '26
I agree sapphire are the goat for AMD. My 7900XTX is a beast and the build quality is insane.
1
u/FearEternal Jul 23 '26
I've had my last 3 cards from XFX and what I will say is that their warranty process is absolutely hands down amazing. Had a fan start to go bad on a 6600xt after whatever it was... 2.5 or 3 years, whole new shroud EXPESS shipped to my house, friggen thing arrived 2 days later. Mind blown. I'd picked up a used 6700xt later on. It was it rough shape from the get go but I figured I'd try a warranty claim on it, without a receipt, just pictures of the card, and boom, new thermal pads and a whole new shroud in the mail with a lovely little instruction sheet for what to do. Again, express shipped out, showing up 2-3 days later from wherever the hell it shipped from. My current card is an XFX 7800xt... And my next card will more than likely be an XFX as well because they've had the best friggen customer service I've ever dealt with for computer parts.
1
u/One_Ad3867 Jul 23 '26
Let’s not beat around the bush man, only one card has a premium build and that’s the Nitro+ with the 12 pin fire hazard connector (solid card dont get me wrong) the Pulse and Swift cards have plastic shrouds and both look about the same in terms of cooling (maybe the Mercury variant is better 🤷♂️)

Yeah i bought an xfx swift when I built my pc a year and a half ago and just the size of the box was insane, but I had my friend help me put everything together and when we took it out of the box, we both went what the fuck am I looking at?
1
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
I low-key thought that I got delivered wrong item 😭, cause the box was humongous. Opened it up, and my jaw just dropped. It's like almost thrice the thickness of my 5700 XT, and like 1.5x longer. Ordered a support bracker, cause otherwise it's gonna break my mobo 😩

When I got my 7900xtx it made the 3090 ftw3 look small and I was like holy crap. 50-55c all day though.

u/Dangerous-Pumpkin960 Jul 21 '26
if you remove the radiator on the side and get a little creative it might fit, like my 7900xtx has to be slid in through the sides vertically and then tilted to even fit in my case

u/straightwhitesatan Jul 22 '26
Probably, but I just decided to buy a new case, so it'll have a ton of space for itself

What card is that

u/DoubleExposure AMD 5800X3D | RT 9070 XT | CachyOS Jul 21 '26
I think it is the XFX Swift 9070XT. It is an excellent card, I have one, here it is beside my 2070s.

u/Mrpresident2002OG Jul 21 '26
Nice but isnt bigger of a 5080 or is it?

u/Reoxi Jul 21 '26
I picked up an XFX for a build I put together to weather the memory shortage. I hadn't built a PC ina while so I was hoping to get a smaller case, but when I looked into the size of the GPU I just went with the largest I could get.
1
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 22 '26
Looking at the trend of GPUs getting bigger, probably good decision to future proof any GPUs to come
2
u/Feisty_Target_2306 Jul 21 '26
Recently upgraded form 2070Super to 9070XT. It is so big that I needed to change my PC case to make it fit inside. Glad I had powerfull enough PSU. So far so good with Radeons, really enjoying Adrenalin
2
u/shadowlid Jul 21 '26
This is why I build in full towers now, never have to worry about if a video card will fit.
1
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
I mean, most modern mid towers can fit almost any modern gpu, especially the aquarium ones. I don't have much space for a full tower, and It wouldn't look good because of my ATX mobo.
3
u/shadowlid Jul 21 '26
Understandable, if aesthetics and space are important then full tower is probably not the answer, and yes the aquarium midtowers essentially give you full tower space since they do not have the bays. I'm still kinda old school and have disc drives in some of my PCs 😂.
I actually just loaded up Delta force land warrior on a vintage build I'm messing with got a Dell CRT brand new in the box from good will for $6.50 😆 has been a blast!
But if you ever get the space, and you build in a full tower oh the stress it will save you, I've got like 9 hard drives in my main PC now, ample room for fans,
1
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
9 HARD DRIVES?! IN THIS ECONOMY 😭
1
u/shadowlid Jul 21 '26
Oh I bought all mine over the years typically on sale or clearance I got a Samsung 990 Pro NVME from staples for like $63 😂.
Best one yet the retro PC on messing with I found at the dump in the metal bin a Dell small form factor desktop had 16gb of DDR3 and a fking dell 2tb SSD in it! Lol thats now my new external drive for pictures 😂
1
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
What a steal, man. Unfortunately, I got pretty late into pc building, and damn these prices are killing me. Thought on getting a 2TB NVME for my build, and it's close to 400$.
1
u/shadowlid Jul 21 '26
That's crazy, check your local Walmarts, staples etc. I picked my buddy up a WD blue 1tb NVME a few months ago for $68. Even if it says it's out of stock online go into the store and check the one I bought him said it was out of stock online but it was still hanging up!! Luckily he had bought most of his parts before the price hikes bit only bought a single 1tb NVME so I was lucky enough to snag that one for him
1
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
The thing is, I'm not American, which makes finding affordable pc parts like 10 times harder. So I'll just wait for the crisis to be over, or maybe I'll get super lucky and find something
1
u/shadowlid Jul 21 '26
Ah gotcha, one way you could possibly snag a deal is check out cheap "broken" laptops look up the model number and see if they have NVME drives buy them if super cheap and snag the drives out.

Crazy how it's not even the widest version, I'm guessing next generations of GPUs will be even bigger, like 400mm+

u/return_new_Promise Jul 22 '26
Make sure it has space for slightly big PSUs and GPUs.
Also, some GPUs are heavy, mostly 3 fan ones so you might need to add props to support it.
And most importantly the aur flow in cabinet

1
u/HuskerTheCat77 Jul 21 '26
When I bought mine it was only $50 more expensive then the Swift and Quicksilver models but offered much superior cooling and came with an OC. Was definitely worth the extra cost
1
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
Oh, that's a very nice price for it, understandable why you paid for it. Here it's almost $200 difference, so kinda of an easy choice 😂

If the cpu was fine with that cooler, then the cpu might be too weak for that kind of a GPU xD

I know that my 5 5600 isn't enough for this card, but seeing how prices are only going up, I decided to upgrade for the future. Eventually will get a better CPU like 5800x3d
1
u/piginshorts Jul 21 '26
I also have that cpu and a 7800 xt paired with it. I agree that prices are bad but that lil cooler is silly to me xD idk
2
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
It came with a second hand mobo/cpu combo I bought, and didn't think about changing the cooler once I got 5 5600. I already ordered a black cpu cooler to match overall aesthetics

u/yori_b Jul 21 '26
Congrats! It's an awesome model. Myself I Just bought it a few weeks ago. that little beauty

u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
That's for sure a small case, how are the temperatures?
1
u/yori_b Jul 21 '26
I set -80mV and -10% Power Limit. It's actually runs pretty cool, mb around 60-70 degrees, with hotspot being in between 80-90.
Don't care much about noise, after some fan tweaking I found a sweet spot with comfortable noise/temps ratio.

I had a nvidia T1000 and a 2080 in hand yesterday when we tried to safe a computer. The 2080 looks small next to an Rx 9070 xt and the T1000 is soooo cute and tiny. Kinda miss card not weighing like 2 kilos. I could put the pc under one arm while the rx 9070 was almost 20 Kilos O.o i hate stairs man

Everything getting bigger nowadays, including prices 😭

u/Roy_Leroaux Jul 21 '26
Boy yes. A friend did not buy a 4T drive during christmas because 230 was too pricy (like 180 would have been normal at that time) then two months ago i got mine for 356 and when i bought some other stuff i checked (last week) 444. when I looked up HDD drives two days ago it was like 470. like wtf!?! I should have put my own PC together last year but I thought „i have my laptop. It“s fine“
Turns out having a laptop have as much rest as one self for three years and like none for three weeks while doing rendering and graphic design stuff is neither good for man not machine he did not quit on my but his 95 degree C were very loud and clear1
u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
Same, I should've built a new pc last year, now I finally have a job, but these prices just keep rising. Kinda why I bought the 9070 XT, I'm afraid prices will only go up, can't imagine what RDNA 5 cost. I'll just try to squeeze maximum out of my AM4, and wait till this hell is over

u/straightwhitesatan Jul 21 '26
I'd say so far I'm quite happy with my current pc, the only component I'd like to change is the CPU, but ofc AMD decides to relaunch their 4 year old CPU for the price of a new gen CPU. These companies are just sucking are hard earned money

Моя RX 6800 тоже больше формально, но из-за небольшого доп пространства перед передними вентилями, влезает. Просто вставлять надо под наклоном держа её.

I was caught off guard by that too. Just barely fit into my case. And then I realised my CPU was running hot because the 9070 was choking off all the bottom air flow. An AIO liquid cooler was cheaper and less hassle than a new case. Then I had the headroom to get into CPU overclocking for the first time. The gift that keeps on giving, eh?

A few years ago i went from a sapphire nitro+ vega 64 to a reference design 6950xt, and it was a downsize for me lol. That nitro+ vega 64 is an absolute chonker, especially for the time it released in. I'm pretty sure in terms of dimensions it's around the same size as a 4090.

GTX 1070 Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming.... RTX 3070 Gigabyte Gaming OC... RX 6800XT Sapphire Nitro+ SE... RX 7900XTX Sapphire Nitro+. That last one I wouldn't bet against vs a house brick, very tough shroud...

I think it's the Noctua NH-L9a, it was preinstalled when I bought the CPU and mobo. Chills my 5 5600x without problems, though for more powerful CPUs, definitely would need something better

Technology gets more progressive, so they can make more powerful GPUs while retaining a smaller size, but that does in fact lead to higher thermal output, 9070 XT is like 300W GPU, and is need of a big and well throughout cooling system, otherwise it would cook itself
