The 9070XT is killing it in Doom The Dark Ages. May not be as good once the PT update is released but the game looks good enough in standard RT mode.
My Sapphire 9070XT Nitro+ arrived with the all important Haribo.
Out with my trustee, but old, Gigabyte 1070 Gaming OC.
I was expecting a big card but this thing is huge.
Had no issues ith installation or fitting the backplate, no cable problems.
Checked and this card has the Hynix memory, but not running to hot.
Have noticed some coil whine but only under very heavy loads.
Also, fitted a new PSU, Corsair RM1000x, as my old EVGA unit starting to make a whining noise, and replacing it reduced the fan noise from the system as well.
Overall very happy with the upgrade and the benchmarks sor far have shown excellent results. Black Myth Wukong Benchmark, wen tofrm aroun 35-40 FPS, to 140FPS averaage, ans up to 200 FPS using FSR.
Not sure on the memory, last I read they were supposed to be going over to Samsung.Nice card dude. Are they supposed to be changing the memory on all the cards do you know?
I just got an XFX Magnetic Air and checked and it has the Hynix memory, but like you said, it's not running overly hot.
My card was so big I had to buy a new case
I'm really wanting a white 9070xt, but the Nitro+ is a great looking and performing GPU and now very tempting at this price.My Sapphire 9070XT Nitro+ arrived with the all important Haribo.

Did like the look of the XFX card especially the magnetic fans, and the overbuilt heatsink, but with the over inflated prices, for everything these days, went with who ever had the lower price, and fulfilled my requirements.
not as fast as it sounds like yours is [im still on am4 and i also have a bit more than average on startup going on not much but still lol]
Yeah same here, I wouldn't have paid the massive premium for it since models like the pulse would have been fine, ironically at the price I got it it was the cheapest available model because of the sale on a certain shop on the bay of E's. It was was actually cheaper in that deal than it was on launch day (I think it was ~£700) There have been quite a few on offers lately if you check around. As with previous gens usually the XFX cards get discounted more often for some reason, it was the same way when I got my 6750 XT, the XFX one was on sale which made it the cheapest. Really good cards too, just gotta keep ya eyes peeled. Looks like the FOMO hype is dying down things will probably 'normalise' soon.
Yes 100% noticed this!
I should add that mine is the Quicksilver gaming edition which doesn't have magnetic fans so it might not be the exact same. It can also depend on how good the airflow in your case is. You could try a lower fixed fan speed and run a stress test to make sure the hotspot and memory temperatures aren't too high.
You would need a custom built driver I would imagine!
Tbf the one a seen was a YouTube where they added memory to what I think was a 3080 and it just worked. The memory size is hardware it’s the speed that’s software controlled
