I'm trying to decide whether it's worth spending $68 more for the Sapphire Nitro+ model, or if I should just stick with the cheaper XFX Swift option, both of which are 9070 XT cards. What do others think? Are there significant advantages to going with the Nitro+ or is the Swift a better choice?

I'd recommend going with the XFX Swift. I've seen reports about the Nitro+ using 12vhpwr connectors that can potentially melt, so it might not be worth the risk. The Swift seems like a safer bet without those issues.
But isn't the Sapphire Nitro+ rated for only 350W? It's not likely to face melting issues like higher-powered GPUs, right?
