XFX MERCURY Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air Edition Models Appear on Amazon CA

[T0@st]

Amazon Canada has listed two new XFX Magnetic Air Edition designs, within the last day or so—as discovered by the VideoCardz overwatch. Mid-way through last week, the first signs of these premium customized AMD RDNA 4 graphics cards appeared online; courtesy of another Canadian leak. Within the same timeframe, XFX registered its "XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT QUICKSILVER Magnetic Air D6 16 GB" SKU at South Korea's National Radio Agency. Amazon.ca's two pre-order listings—likely prematurely published by accident—provide a first look at XFX's revised "Magnetic Air" modular fan system. The MERCURY Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air Black and White Editions appear to sport plenty of loud RGB lighting zones—contrasting greatly, when compared to understated sibling designs.

XFX's standard MERCURY Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air Edition seems to visually match with the manufacturer's "premium black" CES 2025 demonstration sample. TechPowerUp handled this powered-off unit at last month's trade event, alongside a "premium white" sample. Based on a leak—from two days ago—the pale candidate could be an XFX SWIFT model. Product and packaging imagery for Radeon RX 9070 (non-XT) SWIFT and QUICKSILVER emerged online, allegedly sourced from Amazon South Korea. Returning to XFX's highly-anticipated top-tier Magnetic Air options; price points of CAD$1438.03 (black) and CAD$1277.51 (white) are presently displayed on Amazon Canada. VideoCardz reckons that fluctuations will occur up until release day—both third-party listings (Fennec, Inc) mention the exact same release date: March 6. Base GPU clock speed is set at 1870 GHz, while the card's boost capability takes matters up to 3100 MHz—possibly aligning with numbers generated by an unnamed test sample. An expected VRAM assignment—of 16 GB—is described by Amazon's Canuck branch. Three 8-pin power connectors are present in XFX's Magnetic Air product renders.

Don't like that RGB strip I think this is a step back from the 7900 XTX version.

I don't like that rgb strip either, my 7900 xt is just a giant hunk of metal, no plastic anywhere, I love it. I will say though, I absolutely love those magnetic fans that just pop off, would make dusting so much easier.

I like the RGB strip. And magnetic fans would be very convenient.

even for those of that don't like it, its not like it should be too hard to unplug from the pcb or turn off in software. that's why i never take a hard stance on rgb

Canadian prices are nothing to go by. Canada has some of the worst prices for PC parts.

It isn't always the case; we don't get crazy bundles like MicroCenter, but I have found that GPUs are often priced well compared to other countries. In any case, I prefer MemoryExpress or Canada Computers to Amazon.

Thats just nuts. And no we dont get as bad a price as some places like aussieland. Its usually the US price plus exchange rate. I paid 699 CAD for the Asus Tuff 7800xt and it was 499$ USD.

- Yeah, I think a big issue with RGB marketing is they always have to show that ridiculous rainbow strip (intended to imply all the colors the strip can take), which makes it hard to visualize what the card would look like if you set the RGB to Radeon Red or turned it off entirely.

So around $3,000AU that's a no from me.
