I've always like Powercolors entry-tier Radeons.

Compact
Understated
Affordable.

Not all of them have been quiet, so you do need to check that they've not tried to put too small a cooler on too hungry a GPU, but I'm looking forward to the XT variant next week. It's either going to be that or the Sapphire Pulse for me.

 

[Chaitanya]

Hopefully there is enough stock at launch.

 

[Chomiq]

Interesting that they shifted to PTM7950. Bonus points for white SKU with white PCB.

Finally, a white PCB on a white shroud card.

Same here. Although, Sapphire Pulse has been my no.1 choice, the PowerColor Reaper 9070 XT really strikes my fancy with being truly dual slot (and not 2.5). It very well may be my first PowerColor card.

Hopefully there is enough stock at launch.

Hopefully, they've been stocking up since January, when these cards were originally meant to go on sale.

Reaper and Hellhound looking way cleaner than Red Devil

 

[Kenjiro]

Red Devil is 352 mm long and Sapphire Nitro is 330.8 mm long. It could not fit in many older chassises, which have space for maximum 320-330 mm.
Sapphire Nitro 7900 XTX is only 300 mm long.

 

[Dahita]

Wow, the design looks so uninspired. What happened?!

 

[Chrisy]

The hellhound 9070XT still showed with 2x8pin connector.
Is it possible that they will go with such configuration for the XT?
I understand it supposed to be the cooler/quieter version (that is why I like them ), still all other XT cards we've seen so far used 3x8pins...

I guess I will see when I have one in my hands

A smart move compared to all companies using cheap pads fits all solution

I bought the powercolor 7800xt hellhound because of the low fan noise and the hardware switch to turn off rgb.

the msi radeon 6800 z trio card i was forced to sell because of the rgb and fan noise. those leds eat up my money over years.

2x8-pin covers power draw up to 366W, which is 52W more than the XT needs.

The extreme 340W cards mentioned might go with 3x8-pin.

I see, thank you.
Probably CES pictures mislead me with all the 3x8pins on the XTs.

2x8pin XT is a great news!

Guess I'm good. Long boi is always welcome but triple slotter is where I draw the line.

I'm actually a big fan of this understated design. Simple but elegant. Let the kids play with bling.

Yeah it’s looking to be a trend I like. The cards are very clean and understand I have a Hellhound 7900XTX and I turn off the RGB so these simple, understated designs are great!

Finally, a higher end true 2-slot card without a proprietary melting cable. Hopefully it's priced similar to the reference. It feels like a lot of money, but I probably will use it for 5+ years. I'm still using a GTX 1080 on one PC for older less demanding games.

Same here. I'm only willing to spend this much, and just this time because it's dual slot, and because this is my last upgrade for the next 2-3 generations, if not more.
