XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC review

XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 OC graphics card on a grey background with a gradient.

What I want to say about AMD's second-tier Navi 48 graphics card is that you shouldn't worry if you missed out on the RX 9070 XT because the RX 9070 is an excellent mid-range card, has pretty much all the same Radeon goodness, but with a slightly lower sticker price. Which we now know is a ridiculous thing to say in the wan light of a post-launch day.

Because, while the RX 9070 is nominally cheaper than its XT sibling, the reality of current GPU pricing means this XFX Swift Radeon RX 9070 is actually listed for $50 more than the original MSRP of the RX 9070 XT. And I would urge you to wait for literally any other XT version that comes on sale for the same $650 price or below, because that will always be better than this otherwise impressive card.
