XFX Radeon RX 6800 QICK 319 Graphics Card Pictured

Here's the first picture of the XFX Radeon RX 6800 QICK 319 custom-design "Big Navi" graphics card. As of this writing, the card doesn't feature on XFX website, but was discovered by Paweł Maziarz, who compared it to the RX 6800 MERC 319. A Swedish retailer has the card listed for 8,990 SEK (around $1,070 USD), including taxes. At first glance, the QICK 319 looks identical to the MERC 319, until you pay attention to the cooler shroud, particularly its top edge. The large, trapezium-shaped protrusion of the cooler shroud, which holds an illuminated "Radeon RX 6800" logo on the MERC 319, is gone. Another parallelogram-shaped protrusion near the power connectors, is removed.

These should allow the heatsink to vent out more freely. Also, the XFX logo at the edge of the card, near the power connectors, isn't illuminated. These changes, particularly the cost-cutting with the XFX logo, point to the likelihood of the QICK 319 being positioned a notch below the MERC 319, despite having a more free-breathing cooler; and one area where XFX could differentiate the two cards is the factory-overclock, which could be slightly lower than the MERC 319. It remains to be seen if XFX designs QICK 319 products based on the higher RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT.

These cards are beautiful, the cooler design is very elegant and tasteful. At least for my tastes. It tops all of the cooler shrouds in these latest generations from both nVidia and AMD's side.

"XFX" is supposed to read "extreme effects". Pronoucned "Ecks-Eff-Ecks"? I don't know. In Portuguese goes something like "Sheesh-Eff-Sheesh". *shrugs*

And here I were thinking it was "merchant". :\

Yeah the Qick is ok for the 6800 but for other two Merc is better. Bigger cooler slightly better cooling for the 6800XT and 6900XT. I've noticed that the 6900 XT has MERC Ultra and Black products. Tried to find a difference but it is not clear.

Seriously? Wow.

I suppose that Explosive View of the other day was nothing in terms of Chinglish then. I don't get it. You have to make one box, a few posters and it all has the same logo. How can you blunder like that, I mean, if you really can't understand English just plaster some weird marks on it instead. What they're doing now is just horrible, how can I ever trust a manufacturer that doesn't even know spelling or grammar?

I always see Merc as an abbreviated form of Mercedes.

That converts almost exactly to 1K US. So really, we're paying the same.
