The Card
The XFX Merc 319 looks amazing thanks to an all-metal cooler construction with a sleek, clean heatsink shroud. The design department definitely did a great job here. Sparingly applied silver highlights round off the look. On the back, you'll find a high-quality metal backplate.
Dimensions of the card are 32.5 x 13 cm, and it weighs 1363 g.
Installation requires three slots in your system.
Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1.
The card has two 8-pin power inputs. This configuration is rated for up to 375 W of power draw. You can also see the BIOS switch here, which lets you toggle between two BIOSes—both are identical.
The AMD Radeon RX 6000 series doesn't support multi-GPU.
Teardown
XFX's heatsink uses five heatpipes. The main cooler also provides cooling for the memory chips and VRM circuitry.
The backplate is made out of metal and protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
