XFX Radeon RX 9070 SWIFT & QUICKSILVER Imagery Leaked in South Korea

[T0@st]

Last week, graphics card industry watchdogs alerted the wider hardware public to a registration of XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 custom design SKUs in South Korea. The recent leak points to an upcoming release of unannounced RDNA 4 -based SWIFT and QUICKSILVER models; XFX's official website does not list anything newer than its current Radeon RX 7000 series offerings. Based on a fresh momomo_us social media post, Amazon's South Korean branch has accidentally published product pages for Radeon RX 9070 (non-XT) 16 GB SWIFT and QUICKSILVER cards. Related imagery and a single screenshot were preserved and then shared online; we are looking at very minimal black shroud and backplate designs.

TechPowerUp handled a similarly dark-tinted XFX demonstration sample at CES 2025, but the latest leaked models do not visually match with this "premium black" preview unit. The Radeon RX 9070 QUICKSILVER's backplate appears to utilize the exact same backplate design, but its shroud's aesthetic setup is more elaborate (lots of angular surfaces). The CES "premium white" sample's overall shape and profile align with the leaked SWIFT model. XFX's black and white options were listed by a Canadian e-tailer, a week ago. momomo_us's single screen capture points to alleged XFX Radeon RX 9070 SWIFT SKU clock speeds—apparently, its Amazon page was adorned with the following info points: 1400 MHz (base), 2210 MHz (game), and 2700 MHz (boost). As interpreted by VideoCardz, this is a factory-overclocked unit—PowerColor's Red Devil RX 9070 card shares the exact same clock settings.




Here are additional images, as well as momomo_us's preserved screenshot of XFX Radeon RX 9070 SWIFT GPU clock speeds.



VideoCardz has kindly updated its list of leaked XFX "RDNA 4" SKUs:

XFX is still around? woah.....Bring back Abit and BFG! EVGA, I miss those days.

XFX never left, they gave up selling Nvidia cards back in 2010 but have been selling Radeons the whole time since then.

Nvidia mistreated xfx and evga, evga didnt evolve and pretty much are dying, xfx evolved. Bfg faced same fate.

Abit was a motherboard maker, not coming back

 

[Chomiq]

I like em, nice and simple.

 

[Space Lynx]

looks alright, some consumers might be expecting a little more silver color though due to the name

I like XFX personally, my merc 7900xt is amazing, guru3d ranks it as the coldest air cooled 7900 xt on the market, and I agree, it runs pretty dang cold.

Don't remind me.

Oversized coolers again.

They look good, but too long and too tall. (Yes, yes, that's what she said)

Remember the days of dfi lanparty?

The OGs do, amigo. Problem is, we're getting outnumbered.

I don't like recessed 8-pin PCIe connector like that, and don't like cooler to extend over PCI bracket. I wonder if these chips get hot to warrant such cooler design?

 

[INSTG8R]

Understated for sure and that’s not a bad thing.

Got my Abit AT8 32X Dual and my IP35 Pro both complete and in their boxes in my closet. Yeah I was pretty lost when they folded..I’d been using them since the P4

Parasiting on Nvidia naming will backfire this time. 9070 is easy to mix up with 7900. They should have go with 8700.

Same. And my ultra-d.

They just don't make 'em like that anymore. Well, I guess they do...If you buy like a $700 board, which I think is absurd. Plus I pretty much always use mini-atx now, so my options are pretty limited.

Lots of Gigabyte/MSI I don't particularly love, and Asus I kind of hate myself for liking. Really miss Abit and DFI. Both bc of Oskar Wu. I miss that whole scene (OGs/product reps at xtremesystems).

 

[Quicks]

Like it's plain and simple.

The XFX 7900XT was just ugly and way too big. Probably had some issues as well as the store always had some refurbished 7900XT in stock.

Yeah the 7 series were huge. I wouldn’t have been able to fit one in my case…

Loggan26 (logansworld) comes to mind, same with fab51.

Asus was pretty good with TUF but they arent really TUF today, so I'm impressed with AsRock Steel Legend.

Always liked XFX sadly I have never owned one, mates have! and I found the quality always very good compared to other brands.

I only owned one, and it black-screened; was never able to fix it. I sent it for RMA and they sent it back w/o fixing it. Been a little leery ever since, and have seen others across diff gens w/ same isssue from them.
Granted, that type of thing could happen to any card...It's just my experience.

I've owned *near* every major brand, and still believe wrt AMD stuff nothing quite has the quality of Sapphire. It's been that way for literal decades wrt what I've seen (personally).
Some others have had *technically* better coolers/other things, but they just look/feel solid IMO, and generally are designed pretty well wrt cooling/noise ratio, etc.

Doesn't hurt that AMD generally gives them the highest PL either, and they usually stay price-competitive (unlike say, a decent Asus part). Then again, XFX has had some really good deals over the years.
I guess they're the go-to for inexpensive now, so that's good they keep the market price sane, along w/ Powercolor, but I personally preferred MSI for that. Too bad they got out.

I should clarify that this was when XFX still made Nvidia cards. (im old)

Oh, I gotcha. Was that them that had that old ad swatting Dawn (when they stopped making nVIDIA)? Do you remember that? Man...that was a long time ago.

Gosh your testing me now! haha and I dont recall it not that I ever really saw many ads on Aus TV here about that. But yes long time ago!

I still got my mates XFX 295 Here that he bought for $750 back in the day, always was impressed of the quality of that card.

Totally agree on Sapphire for AMD though.

Haha...I think it was a flash animation on their website (although it may have been another AIB). One of those ol' "IYKYK" things, back before the age of things like eVGA where everyone knows the story.
I probably only remember it bc it was a slow news day when it was reported back then.

I'm sure XFX cards *can* be good, and I'm sure yours is, just an anecdotal story. One of those things you bring up JIC it's a problem somebody else had so they know they're not alone; maybe it gets fixed.

It's kinda like LG phones (which I loved/supported 'til they quit). They had solder problems across multiple generations. Probably just a faulty machine on the line and nobody ever knew and/or fixed it.

Or something like that.

 

[sLowEnd]

They had a ton of very questionable (e.g. various combinations of worse-than-reference VRM, cooling, or even use of slower DDR2 on cards that normally have GDDR3) Geforce 8 and 9 SKUs

But hey, lifetime warranty and cards looked cool * shrug *
