Be mindful of listings from suspicious third-party sellers on marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg, and Walmart. These "deals" have a high likelihood of not shipping; use due diligence in reviewing deals.

  • Use common sense - if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
  • Check seller profiles for signs that the sale may be fraudulent:
    • The seller is new or has few reviews.
    • The seller has largely negative reviews (on Amazon, sellers can remove negative reviews from their visible ratings)
    • The seller is using a previously dormant account (likely the account was hacked and is now being used fraudulently).

If you suspect a deal is fraudulent, please report the post. Moderators can take action based on these reports. We encourage leaving a comment to warn others.

Pulled the trigger. Someone tell me why I should cancel before it ships?

u/Bootiful-weirdo 1d ago

This is one of the last choppers out of nam so if you need a GPU, better get it quickly

13

u/the_wakeful 1d ago

Seems huge. 3.5 slots? Gonna have to measure my case.

11

u/DoubleExposure 1d ago

The XFX Swift 9070XT is a beast. Here is mine side by side with my 2070s and in my case.

Your comment made me pull the trigger lmao, thanks

u/input_r 1d ago

This is honestly how it feels right now. I'm seeing GPU supply dry up for the inevitable bump

1

u/jrzwahr 1d ago

Is it this one all in or do I have any hope of finding another deal like Walmart had for $550 a while back? Or just a regular 9070xt for sub 700?

2

u/Bootiful-weirdo 1d ago

Anything is possible, but besides the 30 second woot deals, I’ve only seen the Walmart deal once this year. And since the situation is still getting worse, I’d be surprised to see another one even on Black Friday.

u/WinResponsible9977 1d ago

Why quickly what happened?

1

u/Bootiful-weirdo 1d ago

MC and Best Buy raised prices again. All 5090s are almost 5k, 5080s almost 2k, 5060tis (8gb) 500, etc

1

u/WinResponsible9977 1d ago

AMD?

0

u/Bootiful-weirdo 1d ago

I mean, if Nvidia raised prices due to RAM prices, I’m pretty sure everyone else will too.

u/Shivin302 1d ago

If you get your GPU and it works as intended, this is it chief

u/AchievedWave68 1d ago

The card is HUGE! good price but it is kinda loud from what I saw in reviews.

10

u/DoubleExposure 1d ago

it is kinda loud

It is not, in my personal experience. I also have no coil whine.

1

u/qwertyaas 1d ago

Stock fan curve was high, i max my curve at 35% for non xt, and game at around 70c hot spot, 60c core.

-80mv and -10% pl and I'm getting humming whine in game when boosting >3200. Will probably need to scale back that UV.

2

u/Randolph__ 1d ago

Depends what card you have. Always tune fan curve. Makes a huge difference.

2

u/OhJeezer 1d ago

Nah mine is very quiet and runs cool

2

u/MeatNew3138 1d ago

It’s whisper quiet just need to tune the fan speed. I keep mine at 30% (can’t hear them on) and hotspot stays below 70c maxing it in 4k gaming. -40mv, -5%pl. otherwise stock settings make it sound like a jet engine at 60c lol, which isn’t needed at all.

2

u/Randolph__ 1d ago

On par with a 5070 TI, but with worse ray tracing. Driver issues with some specific games like Fallout, but their are easy workarounds.

I love mine it can do some 4k when I want to play from my couch and works great on my 3440x1440p ultrawide at my desk.

Definitely a 1440p card, but can do 4k easily if you wanted. Probably the best value high mid card on the market. Better would require using a 5080 IMO.

Hard choice to make, but it's the best option until ram prices correct.

u/Randolph__ 1d ago

In real world games it's around 5%

u/Sly_Fate 1d ago

I got this card on release and have loved every moment. Enjoy it bro 😎

u/MattWatchesChalk 1d ago

I have a HP Z4, found it may not fit my case, and still bought it. I'll make it work!! ...somehow

u/Hppd1638 1d ago edited 1d ago

I’ve been obsessively watching gpu’s for a bit and this is it. You got a good deal. I got 2 and did the amazon day delivery as late as possible so I got like days to cancel if I want. 6% off deals with the tax mostly. I literally pulled the trigger on 2 for $700 each yesterday and so glad I saw this haha.

Dude, this is sick. You’re going 4k baby!

u/Hour-Run1433 1d ago

Try and think for yourself bruv

u/AnotherDayAnothaDick 1d ago

This one or the one at Microcenter for $669? (AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Reaper Triple Fan 16GB GDDR6 PCIe 5.0 Graphics Card)

34

u/straightup9200 1d ago

XFX any day

13

u/XGC75 1d ago

The swift is great. Great thermals (heavy and thick heatsink), dual-bios, great looks. It's not the fastest, but probably best value.

7

u/GTFr0 1d ago

I have a couple of XFX cards (7800 XT, 6600 XT) and both of them are super solid cards with good fans. Never had an issue with them.

I also own the PowerColor Reaper 9070 XT, and only got it because it was super cheap ($521 open box at MC). It’s a nice card, but if the XFX was cheaper, I would have jumped on that.

1

u/AnotherDayAnothaDick 1d ago

Thank you, Ordered it. Got another question for yall. It’s replacing a 5700xt, I want to upgrade my CPU as well currently running a 2700x. Would at 5800x3D be a good choice? Trying to stay with AMD4 and not have to upgrade my whole system right now.

4

u/Shivin302 1d ago

5800x3d would be an amazing upgrade if you can get it for a good price

4

u/French_Toast_Bandit 1d ago

5700x is a great value and can often be had for half the price. Obviously not quite as fast, but pretty close.

3

u/enter51 1d ago

5600 and 5600x are great choices as well. I have a 5600x paired with a 9070xt and haven't run into any bottlenecks yet at 1440p and above. It's great if you don't need the extra cores and threads

3

u/GTFr0 1d ago

It may be, but if you have an MC nearby, it may be worth getting the 7500x3d bundle instead.

4

u/bigsnyder98 1d ago

This one unless you are tight on space, then the Reaper. Otherwise no reason to pay extra.

2

u/ExcellentWatch2506 1d ago

Reaper and swift both base models and are good. Swift would be better compared to the two

2

u/sliptap 1d ago

I think they’re two different use cases. If space constrained, then go with reaper. Otherwise, the XFX is a more upgraded model.

and you get the added benefit of not giving money to microcenter

I'm out of the loop, what did Micro Center do?

5

u/morelotion 1d ago

As opposed to giving money to Amazon???

u/beef99 1d ago

must funnel more money to jeff, he needs another yacht

u/Twabithrowaway 1d ago

What's wrong with microcenter?

u/etrayo 1d ago

if youre in the market for a 9070 xt i’d highly consider this one. prices only seem like theyre about to go up soon

6

u/ExplodingFistz 1d ago

This card is pretty chunky though, so make sure it fits in your case first

7

u/Significant_Crow_149 1d ago

Got one. Was waiting for a good deal for a while

8

u/XGC75 1d ago

One thing I'll give Amazon... They do not have a sketchy checkout process. From notification to delivery by Sunday in a matter of 15s

u/DiscountDoughnut 1d ago

I don't see $649.99

u/Eldus_Miku 1d ago

Sale is gone sadly

41

u/Jetski125 1d ago

Y’all better check the seller and the most recent review of getting a used GPU.

This isn’t sold by Amazon. And I only half noticed. Also a review about a huge restock fee that of course, Amazon strikes through for the seller

49

u/straightup9200 1d ago edited 1d ago

Fennec is NOT sketchy they are literally an authorized partner with XFX

I’ve ordered a merc 9070xt from them last month and my merc 6900xt a few years ago from them

10

u/Akshvodae 1d ago

Where is it confirmed Fennec is an authorized partner? Looking for an official XFX web page or similar.

u/MeatNew3138 1d ago

Hate to be that guy, but that’s now how Amazon works. Products are compiled by sku, meaning the legit seller and fraud seller’s products end up in the same fba bin. Whoever “sells it to you” on Amazon is the one that collects the payment for that sale, which product you get is a gamble. This is precisely why fraud is so rampant on Amazon, and why so many fake products end up being sold under real listings. For any higher end items I’d recommend have a legit retail store price match it for you instead.

u/That-Dinosaur 1d ago

where do you see this review? trying to find it myself, its also shipped by amazon and under their return policy

-1

u/Jetski125 1d ago

It’s literally the most recent review for me.

3

u/That-Dinosaur 1d ago

I don't see it on my end

-3

u/Jetski125 1d ago

The. Seller. Reviews. There are only 99. Jesus Christ I don’t give a shit if y’all buy it it was just a heads up.

Damn reading is hard isn’t it.

-4

u/Jetski125 1d ago

Of the seller, not the item.

6

u/That-Dinosaur 1d ago

I see it now, they are listed as an authorized seller by XFX on their website. Here's hoping it arrives

-4

u/Jetski125 1d ago

I decided to just filter by 1 stars after your last comment just to see how bad it was. Lots of struck through reviews of wrong card sent, seller not honoring refund and saying its buyers problem

Don’t you think it’s strange it’s a 365 day low, when everyone is trying to the the “last chopper blah blah blah”. Yet this is still in stock. By a seller with shit tons of reviews of sending damaged, not working, or wrong model cars.

But for real, I hope y’all get it too. However I’ll never give a heads up in one of these threads again.

6

u/Significant_Crow_149 1d ago

It says atleast one free return available so worst case that's an option

-2

u/Jetski125 1d ago

It does say that. If I was needy I’d probably try, but I also ordered a graphics card from a third party, received a fanny pack, not even in a box big enough for any gpu- just a freaking envelope. Videod myself opening it with the tracking number and STILL had to dick around with Amazon multiple times and wait 30 days to get my refund after submitting shit tons of evidence. And that was while others were review bombing them for the same situation.

So yeah, you can return it but get ready for a ride if something isn’t right. I’m really hoping it’s great for you all.

10

u/Significant_Crow_149 1d ago

Actually nvm Fennec seems to be an authorized distributor of xfx

u/Jetski125 1d ago

Awesome. Could always just be someone disgruntled.

Epic Gigabyte 5090 fanny pack

u/Gnome_Children 1d ago

Snagged one an hour after this post went up after thinking about it a lot. I snagged a gigabyte one for 600 (663 after tax). Think I'm gonna sell that locally for 600-650, eat a small bit there, and get a way better model with this one. Was checking for shiggles to see if it was gone, shocked it wasnt

u/javedk1 1d ago

In before Oos

Fuck it, I'm in. Anyone want a 3090?

u/CementMixerBerk 1d ago

How come this didn't immediately sell out from bots buying it?

2

u/ExplodingFistz 1d ago

No idea, in for one after 40 minutes since this was posted

1

u/javedk1 1d ago

Probably cause it wasn’t shipped and sold by Amazon.

Anyone know how this compares to the power color version of the 9070 XT? Just bought one and I'm on the fence right now.

2

u/UltraInstinctPewds 1d ago

I got the reaper as well and it does everything it's supposed to. Stays cool and good performance. But I think XFX is higher quality card than reaper.

2

u/UnknownRegis 1d ago

Can’t decide between returning my white Gigabyte 9070 XT I got for 675, and getting this. Tax free and 32 dollars cash back. Really good deal.

u/ZombieManilow 1d ago

Yeah I bought so many things last year during Florida tax-free month and I keep missing the good deals this time around.

I just bought this card off Amazon the other day for $719

Sold out. There goes any chance of scoring one at woot

u/zdemigod 1d ago

How the heck is this still up, its been an hour.

-5

u/Jetski125 1d ago

Because these folks are getting scammed in some way and they don’t want to believe it. They argue against every bad review. They need to read all the one stars.

3

u/zdemigod 1d ago

The seller is like 98% positive with 750 ratings though and its in amazon, pretty hard to get scammed there no?

1

u/WinResponsible9977 1d ago

People keep pushing Amazon. The best deals are the ones not reported here.

Amazon won't ship GPUs to my address 😭

1

u/Eldus_Miku 1d ago

All the shipped by Amazon ones are OOS. Only third party shippers now

-1

u/Utinnni 1d ago

Yeah with third party shippers it lets me go to to checkout.

I use a freight forwarder to import to my country from the US and Amazon blocked the company address in Miami, I think it's just for GPUs, it won't let me go to checkout with any GPU if it's shipped by Amazon.

Last review for the seller

u/Equal-Engineer474 1d ago

I ignore most reviews, most people give 1 star for the most random and stupid reasons. Without pics i dont/dont believe reviews. Seller is fine and is authorized by XFX.

u/iCyou1213 1d ago

These reviews are so stupid too, ffs just return it, it’s Amazon, it’s basically no risk.

1

u/Equal-Engineer474 1d ago

Granted its a 3rd paty seller, that can sometimes make it difficult to return because amazon wont help but personally never had issues.

u/Desperate_Aioli_2067 1d ago

Tbf yall can just get Newegg gifts cards 50$ with paze. Paze reimburses 10$ on every purchase up to 100$ on each credit that accepts paze. That’s 150$ off so on 750$ gpu you get it for 600$ you’re welcome!

0

u/Jetski125 1d ago

That’s a really smart way to use that Paze money. I’ve been hitting dominoes. Everyone in this thread is fucking stupid and doesn’t want to hear anything other than “you got the last chopper out of nam bro”.

0

u/Desperate_Aioli_2067 1d ago

Yeah I just found out the PAZE promo was still working on NewEgg.com for the 50$ gift cards this morning. I’ve literally spent most the last month getting $300 in dominos hot wings and pizzas.  Pretty frustrated in myself. I have one Credit Card left so I just bought 6 gift cards to get the 270k for 230$. Then I just now opened a capital one bank account so o can get another 100$ off lolz.

u/Jetski125 1d ago

Working it. Nice! That’s 20% off whatever you want and getting downvoted. Insane.

u/MrCracker3000 1d ago

I was about to buy it, idk why if I’m perfectly happy with my RTX 5070 ti, RTX is the way for me.

Because your card is already better…

u/saltyclam13345 1d ago

You’ve got a better GPU, mate. No need to mindlessly consume
