Buyer discovers unknown version of XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT
One of the users purchased an XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT, but after a detailed inspection, he found out that the video card does not match none of the manufacturer's official models. Although the packaging and serial number indicate the model Mercury, the design of the device differs from the standard one.
The main discrepancy is PCIe power connectorMercury should have three 8-pin connectors, but this version only has them two. Also, the backplate does not match the original XFX models - it is not found in any of the manufacturer's catalogs. The printed circuit board of the device is more reminiscent of the model Quicksilver, which may indicate hybrid assembly.
The buyer purchased the card from the seller NR Info, which has already raised questions among users. He contacted XFX, to find out the origin of the device. If the card really does not match the declared model, there is a risk that the warranty on it will be voided. The community is now discussing possible reasons: it could be manufacturing error, limited test run, or reworked distributor version.
