It's quite lightweight and the materials look high-quality. From what I've tested, the power consumption is lower than with the 3060though I might need to test it more thoroughly. VRAM was one of the reasons I bought it; I do rendering work and I can feel the difference while working. I just made the switch and everything has been going very well.
Worked immediately with no problems
- Quiet - Good for the price
No reason to consider Alibaba used up 5080s, you can get the real deal for 1k! I was considering a 4080 Super when I found out the 5080 is actually better despite its AI heavy focus. See modern GPUs can "invent" frames if your game is laggy, which is an oddity because that just means you need a stronger card. If you're doing rendering for 3D projects you need CUDA Cores and VRAM and this baby is loaded with 16 gbs of VRAM and is currently like the 3rd best GPU period. Considering the 5090 is like 2 times the price of the 5080 and finding it at MSRP is probably a myth. This is quite literally the best bang for the buck.
Been using a Radeon card for the past 8 years, went with the Nvidia because it handles Ray tracing better than the AMD cards have been, works great, so far runs everything I've thrown at it on Ultra settings with no issues whatsoever.
- amazing upgrade from 4060
Close-ish to MSRP compared to what else was available

I get to keep my kidney :)
Great for video editing workloads great with Vegas Pro 22, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro. Using it for 4k video editing.
The card is great and overclocks easily. However there is an issue where if the card is mounted vertically standing up the heat gets trapped and the gpu overheats and throttles. Fans will go 100% quickly too. The card must be mounted horizontally. Other than that issue the card is great for its small size. Would have been better if MSI informed of us of that issue however instead of us troubleshooting to figure it out. But regardless of that, when set up properly Im able to get +450 OC and 1700 memory OC.
- Cooling is excellent and never exceeds low 60s under full load - Can be safely overclocked to 4090 tier performance with the recent 450 TGP update - MFG works well because the base frame rate is high in every title - Customizable lighting and great build quality and aesthetic - Individual pin voltage monitoring and alerting so you don't need to worry about melting
Quiet Great looking card Performs better than I had thought
- Looks great with customizable ARGB strip and devil logo - Excellent cooling, edge temps are rarely over 60c - Quiet - Easy to Install - High build quality
Runs all games in 1440p max settings only paid a little over msrp
The 16gb of vram is really good in games and the new Blackwell series looks incredible.
Works well, great for 1080p 165hz gaming, cool temps leave your headroom for Oc Overall great product
Nvidia software
Runs cool Good performance It is quiet Looks good
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.
