92 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
The XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT OC is highly praised for its excellent thermal performance, staying below 54°C under load, and its impressive out-of-the-box boost clock. Users highlight the great price-to-performance ratio, sleek design with customizable ARGB lighting, and the added benefit of a 3-year warranty. The only minor drawbacks mentioned are the large physical size ("chonky") and the short included support bracket extender.
