450w, smaller size, single 8-pin power requirement means it fits in my ten year old alienware
It works great on an old PCIe2 bus. Though I will have to upgrade the rest of my computer to reap the full benefits. I don't know yet how well I can clean the fan and cooling fins. MY review rating may change based on that.
Why did I pick this? I did not want to spend $700 on a GPU but all you little heifers bought all the cheap graphics cards and I didnt have a choice. Shame on you! Of course, by the time you are looking for your build you will probably be able to find reasonably priced GPUs. I needed a white card because I have a white build and a black card would look silly. Alas, sometimes you just got to bite the bullet and buy something over priced for your build and that is exactly what happened here. I am not a gamer. I might play an occasional game but this is overkill for my build. Evaluate your own situation and choose appropriately. So, I dont have any FPS reports or anything like that. I can only report on how the install went. The GPU went in fine. I went to the AMD web site and downloaded the latest drivers and the AMD software. It was easy and fairly automated. No issues. In a no load situation the GPU is hovering in the 30s C. Since I havent gamed I cant tell you how hot it would get.
As others have said, the cooling solution is more than adequate AMD's software makes OC and fan curve tuning simple and intuitive Installation and switch from Nvidia to AMD was super easy with the help of DDU. Personally I enjoy the lack of extra lighting as I find it more distracting than attractive
As a 1080p gamer, this card was an INCREDIBLE upgrade from an RTX 3050. The price-to-performance ratio is amazing; I had a great experience with many games, some of which utilize ray tracing. A bit of advice: don't expect magic with RTX. Raster games are amazing, and some RTX games, especially Sony port titles such as R&C, Spider-Man, and Horizon, run excellently with RT. Cyberpunk is doable but probably not recommended. Robocop, maxed out with lumen, was incredible with great performance, so your mileage may vary with ray-tracing titles. I will be checking in on the Q&A section, and if I see a question, I'll try and help out. Last-minute thought, I tried a lot of VR titles, Half Life Alyx, Blade and Sorcery. Don't worry about VR, this card NAILS most games with SteamVR over virtual desktop to a Quest 3.
It works great, the extra 8 gigs of vram helps a lot. I get about double the frames of my 2070 Super 8 gig card. Its pushing 34 1440p Ultrawide with no issues.

Overall, it was an amazing upgrade from my 2060, which I then upgraded to a 3070 and have now sold both. It has insane 1440p performance, and FSR4 is also amazing. It is definitely getting closer to DLSS and pretty on par with DLSS 3.5.
Runs pretty much all games 1440p at 120+ fps
- Card worked well with the Ryzen 5 5600G system running on an ASUS mobo with 16GB of RAM and 2TB SSD card that we installed it on. - Card has downloadable SW to support set up - The FPS rate and viewing resolution that my son is able to play World of Warships on is now the best that it can be set at and his FPS is around 90. He loves it!
Good price
I finally upgraded from my GTX 1080 ti, to this absolute BEAST! I used to have to turn down my settings to low/medium in everything and hope to hit 60fps. Now I can play on Ultra settings and constantly max out my monitors refresh rate at 180hz. And at the same time, this graphics card uses less power🤯
decent for gaming, mostly older titles. Doesn't get very hot. I have an app that monitors it.
ray tracing and FPS performance is a huge upgrade
Demolishes 1440p gaming (with a good cpu)
I recently purchased a Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 165hz 4K monitor. To get 4k smoothly, AND CHEAPLY, I needed to upgrade my 6700XT. With the XFX Swift 9060XT I can now play any game at 4K. Even at balanced or quality (instead of performance) settings. Starfield, Horizon Forbidden West, and Helldivers 2 are the games I have been playing and they run 60+ FPS at 4K. With FSR, depending on the version, I get up to fifty percent more FPS over my old card. I opted for the triple fan and it is whisper quiet and ice cold. XFX is amazing. I greatly appreciate XFX opting to go with the PTM7950 TIM so I won't have to worry about drying paste or bleeding out. AMD drivers are rock solid. I have read, that in the past, AMD drivers had some troubles. For the past five years of owning AMD video cards I can confidently say I have not had any driver-related problems and the video cards have run without a hiccup. I have watched several 9060xt reviews online along with teardown videos. I think this XFX triple fan card is the best bang for the buck as of this writing.
Perfectly fine card, looks great.
Pros: Good cooler on it Low temps Included stand is quality Didnt expect it to have RGB and it does Its pretty Quiet fans MSI software is fairly solid Good price point, the other MSI gaming trio 5070 ti (the oc plus) is the same card, but hundreds more
I get great frame rate in almost any title Low temps Low usage High powered
12GB VRAM 1 8 pin connector card does not sag at all. Performs great with a 5600X3D Some of the games that ran rather poorly on my A750 at 1080p, run better even at 1440p and 4K. The CPU driver overhead problem is minimal with the 5600X3D. Spiderman Miles Morales 1440p custom settings XeSS ultra Quality FSR frame generation is high refresh and smooth. No frame pacing issues even when swinging fast close to the crowded streets.
Great card , 9070 xt , big improvement over my 7800 xt and my 6700 xt. It does what they said it would . I have ordered more frequently through new egg and am happy with all the items I recieved and the shipping time .
