I'm building a new machine with a Ryzen 9800x3d and I'm trying to decide which AMD 9070 XT GPU to go for. Here are my options:
- Asus Prime for $729
- XTX Swift for $850
- Sapphire Pulse for $880
What do you all think is the best choice?

From a technical standpoint, there's not much difference among them. I’d recommend the Asus for the lower price. Just check warranty options and dimensions if those matter to you.
I opted for the Red Devil because it was available. Plus, you can turn off the RGB lights, so that's a plus!
Honestly, just go for the cheapest option. The performance difference isn’t significant.
I've got the XFX Swift 9070 XT, and while it runs super cool, the coil whine is pretty bad. I had to dial down the power by 20% just to make it bearable.
I went with the XFX Merc OC, mainly because the white ones have a higher chance of Samsung VRAM, which seems to improve performance. Mine’s been great so far!
Glad to hear that! I was worried about the RGB options.
