XFX
80 Overall Score

The XFX Swift RX-97SWFB3W9 absolutely demolishes the 51Risc GTX 1660 Ti in raw performance. We're talking 16GB of VRAM vs 6GB, double the PassMark score, and roughly 6.6x the FP32 compute. The 51Risc is a budget card for older systems, while the XFX is a serious modern GPU that just happens to be huge and power-hungry.

Choose 51Risc GeForce GTX if...

Grab the 51Risc GTX 1660 Ti if you're on a tight budget and just need a cheap upgrade for an older system, especially if you're okay rolling the dice on a lesser-known brand.

Choose XFX Radeon RX if...

Buy the XFX Swift if you want high-refresh 1440p or 4K gaming and don't mind upgrading your PSU and checking your case clearance first.

Key Differences

  • The XFX has 16GB of VRAM on a 256-bit bus with 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth, while the 51Risc makes do with 6GB on a 192-bit bus at 288 GB/s. That's a massive gap for modern games and any kind of AI workload.
  • Raw compute is not even close: 36.13 FP32 TFLOPS on the XFX vs 5.44 on the 51Risc. PassMark G3D scores tell the same story, 25,398 vs 12,696.
  • Power draw flips the script. The XFX pulls 245W and wants an 800W PSU, while the 51Risc sips 125W and runs fine on a 500W unit. Your electricity bill and PSU budget will notice the difference.
  • The XFX scores 77 for 4K gaming and 78 for 1440p, while the 51Risc lands at 19 and 28. The 51Risc is really a 1080p card at best, and even there it scores 35 vs the XFX's 80.
  • Customer sentiment is strong for the XFX at 4.8/5 with owners praising the cooling and massive performance jumps, but multiple buyers warn it barely fits in their cases. The 51Risc sits at 4.4/5 with solid value-for-money feedback, but some users report power connector issues and early defects.
