XFX Preps Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB Speedster SWFT309 for March 18th Release

Raevenlord · Mar 16, 2021

XFX is gearing up to offer three different versions of AMD's upcoming RX 6700 XT graphics card. Joining the QICK and MERC models that XFX has already presented in some form or another with other SKUs, the Speedster SWFT309 builds upon those bullish, robust, yet aesthetically clean designs by adding a number of details and protrusions to the cooling shroud. XFX's industrial design philosophy is kept with the black color scheme, but there's some added complexity nonetheless.

Apart from those aesthetic considerations, the Speedster SWFT309 seems to carry the same cooling design philosophy as other XFX offerings, with a triple-fan setup, a backplate with aesthetic cutouts and XFX's SWFT branding, and the same 2x 8-pin as other offerings for this particular AMD chip. Pricing remains to be seen (both MSRP and actual street pricing), especially considering how reports have placed available supply at launch in the order of thousands for a region such as the European union.

Well don't hold it by the plastic parts, which you shouldn't anyways. Does it matter you actually think you be able to get one anyways, i bet most will stay in China.

1000 pcs for all of Europe, whadafukishima ????????

I guess that means the entire US will either get 100 or so, or a gazillion....

Dare to guess at the street prices

XFX cards look like the kind that Bruce Wayne will get for his Bat computer

Its not about it actually being flimsy or how you hold it, I mean it just looks flimsy.
These custom shrouds etc are there to sell a card but this does not sell this card to me, it looks weak and cheap, the polar opposite of those chunky Legion editions from Lenovo.
