XFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070XT OC Gaming Edition with RGB 16GB GDDR6, HDMI 3xDP, AMD RDNA 4 RX-97TRGBBBA

nice to have than RTX 5070 TI... Highly recommended this GPU and the Seller as well its Legit with Receipt....

Outstanding performance. Finally a good competition to Nvidia!

Ottima scheda custom (e ottimo upgrade per la mia vetusta 1060), prestazioni veramente top in 2k, sia temperature che produttività/gaming, tech buone. Aspetto veramente accattivante ma comunque sobrio. Unico a mio avviso difetto è la rumorosità... Certamente è una scheda energivora e quindi necessita una dissipazione importante e probabilmente tutte le schede di questa fascia (sia amd che Nvidia) sono così "rumorose", ma mi sembra comunque abbastanza fastidioso. Superando la soglia dei 1000rpm si percepisce un bel rumore che spicca notevolmente anche tra tutte le ventole di case e AIO (4x140mm e 3x120mm) che girano anche a maggiori velocità. Diciamo che con le cuffie tendenzialmente non si sente, o poco (case affianco al monitor sulla scrivania), però crea un certo inquinamento sonoro nella stanza. Fortunatamente si riesce sempre a tenere la scheda fresca senza salire oltre un 30/50% in utilizzo intensivo, a quanto ho visto (anche con un po' di overclock). Oltre a questo occhio alle dimensioni, è certamente una scheda dalle dimensioni generose (occupa 2 slot solo per l'I/O ma in realtà ne prende quasi 4 in altezza, vedi foto).

Bought at 929$ - 30$ amazon customer service appeasement for a final price of 899.99$. First 10$ after the first order got lost or never left and delivery kept being pushed back, second and third after they promised it would definitely arrive but didn't and I had them reorder but again issues occurred as they couldn't reorder with the additional 30$ discount. First time having issues like these but it all worked out and with units this expensive, every 30$ counts! Came from a 7800xt. 9070 XT is quiet and cool....very cool. Doesn't get passed 52C under load for hours. The vram temp is a bit hight but stays under 84C under again heavy load. Hotspot is in between at 70C. Didn't win the lottery on this one, modest -45 uv and vram a little better at 2714. Temps don't really change it's cool enough at 50 anyways. Tried OC as well and no performance difference....at all. So uv and vram good enough. I wanted a 5070 TI TUF for it's beefy cooler (I care about cooling) but numbers didn't make sense. At its cheapest it was 1169$. Tldr: -Bought for 899$. -Average 50C under load. Quiet, only fan noise. -UV, vram oc and pl at max (+10%) give a nice performnce boost. -OC gpu doesn't change performance. -Vram average temp under load 82C. -Hot spot 68C. -Temps dont change even with aggressive 2714 vram. With or without undervolt, default fan curve. -Don't buy for over 960$ canadian before tax.

TOP Quality. Quick and safely wrapped package. Recommended ! ! !

Très bonne carte graphique, très grande attention au boitier, épaisse mais silencieuse. (comparé à mon ancienne 3080 gaming trio) Test depuis une semaine, en particulier sur ark ascended non optimisé et elle tourne en ultra QHD1440 sans problème , 55-60 degré , réglage simple pour le moment dans adrénaline ne connaissant pas encore le logiciel. Le RGB est relier par un câble a brancher sur la carte donc bien prévoir un passage lors de l'installation.

I’ve been running the XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC Gaming Edition in my new Ryzen 9 9800X3D build for two months now. The card runs flawlessly on factory settings (no manual overclocking), delivering stable, high-end performance across modern titles. Thermals are excellent. Idle temps stay under 40°C, and even in Cyberpunk 2077 (Ultra settings, FSR 3 enabled), it stays around 60°C. The triple-fan cooler and massive heatsink from XFX do serious work here—quiet, efficient, and cool under pressure. The ARGB is clean, syncs easily, and doesn’t require any bloated software. Build quality is solid—this is a beefy card with real thermal headroom and a sturdy feel. It fits well into a high-performance build and doesn’t feel like it’s cutting corners. That said, the price is a real drawback. The MSRP for a standard RX 9070 XT is $599.99, but this OC version comes in at $899.99. That’s a $300 markup for a factory OC, bigger cooler, and RGB. On top of that, I bought through a third-party seller and paid an extra $60 shipping due to demand. While performance is roughly on par with the 5070 Ti, the value just doesn’t hold up at that price point. For contrast, I also picked up an RX 9060 XT (3-fan version) for my 2018 Intel system, upgrading from a GTX 1080. That only cost me $50 over its $349.99 MSRP—and honestly, it felt like a far better value for mid-tier 1440p gaming. Cool, quiet, and perfectly matched for that older rig. And yeah, I now regret skipping the RX 7900 XTX. Back in 2024, it dropped to $799—$200 below its official $999 MSRP. Now, in 2025, it’s floating around $1,200 due to limited supply and rising demand. For what I paid for this 9070 XT OC, I could’ve had a 7900 XTX with better raw performance and more VRAM—and still come out ahead. Sure, I’d be giving up FSR 4 support—but let’s be honest, most current games still run on FSR 3, so I’m probably not missing much. The real loss is just timing. Could’ve had flagship-tier raster performance for less money. That one hurts. At this point, I’m planning to hold out for the 9080 XT/X or 9090 XT/X, once RDNA 5 has matured and pricing normalizes. Maybe around 2027, when the dust settles and the early-adopter tax fades, I’ll make the next big jump. Bottom line: The XFX 9070 XT OC is a strong GPU—cool, stable, and well-built—but its $899.99 price tag drags it down. It pairs well with high-end CPUs like the 9800X3D and delivers smooth gaming out of the box, but performance-per-dollar just doesn’t stack up. If you can wait or catch a better deal, do it. I wish I had. That said, in the context of today’s market, it’s not the worst deal. We’ve seen this trend grow since the “RTX tax” hit with the 2080 Ti—what used to be a $500 premium card in 2012 now easily breaks $1,000. If you're eyeing a 5080 or 5090? You’re looking at $2,000 to $3,000 easily. Against that backdrop, the 9070 XT OC’s $899 doesn’t look quite as insane—just mildly painful instead of laughably brutal.
