Don't know if a dual fan GPU will do well in a mini-ITX build. Definitely safer with a 3 fan.
For those saying 2 fans isn't enough, the chips are running cool but mem isn't. You would be able to keep it cool, but maybe not quiet.
2 x 100 mm fans is only 18% less fan area than 3 x 90 mm fans. And whilst they would have to work a little harder to cool the same amount, larger fans tend to run quieter for the same performance. So the difference isn't as big as it may seem (e.g. it's not a 33% drop in cooling).
Will it be able to be OC without running way too hot
That depends on a lot more than just the fans.
The cooler, the VRM's, and how well the entire package has been put together.
It's more than 3-slots thick, so it has a very beefy cooler.
But you should watch and read reviews on this model to confirm.
I will say all depends your luck, it’s all depends how much it can be undervolted. Fans and cooling helps, but chips is far more important.
One more generation on the 6800xt for me since there are no almost new games of interest to me that don't run exceedingly well already and the few that are of interest run terribly even on the 5090
I have the 6800xt. I am waiting for the top end cards with 24Gb ram. Mine is still good for now :)
Yeah, the 6800xt is still demolishing anything at 1440p that has had the least bit of effort put into optimisation. The new hotness like monhun wilds run like a three legged rocking horse with stutters on everything and thus hold no appeal for me. I will say that I have been shocked at how poor many games still are on radeon given the rdna2 backbone in both current gen consoles though.
I bought my card at 650 so the 9070xt isn't really pushing the needle on frames per dollar right now.
Waiting for the RX9060XT 16GB :)
I panicked and pulled the trigger now worried that I wont be able to overclock on dual fan?
Thermals don't really seem to be much of an issue with any of the 9070XT. Generally it's the 330-340W power limit that caps you. The main OC you do is a 100mv undervolt and a +10% power limit.
Caveat: I have a PowerColor Red Devil which is a bit of a chonker compared to the XFX Swift, but I feel fairly confident in saying the vast majority of people overclocking their 9070 XT are going to be power limited well before they're temperature limited.
The power slider is capped at +10% which gets my card up to about 360 W. From there, the only way to get the card to clock any higher is to undervolt.
I was just doing some really quick and dirty tests chasing some 3DMark scores for fun, and I was able to get over 20,300 in Port Royal with +10% to the power limit, a -125mV voltage offset, and 2810 MHz max frequency on the VRAM - a combination of settings I can basically guarantee would be unstable in games but worked fine for the benchmark run. GPU temperature never even looked like becoming a factor in any of the runs I did. I have a feeling that VRAM offset is actually too high and I'd probably get a higher score with a lower VRAM clock…
TechPowerUp's overclocking method probably makes the most sense for a longer term OC.
The price and the thumbnail made me think this was an entire tower PC.

Upgrading from a 3070ti worth it? Starting to struggle in some games, cyberpunk it'll probably continue to struggle
Try Lossless Scaling from Steam - It's on sale currently and works very well! Gave my 3080TI a lot more life
Do you notice any latency?
this hurts because I still have an RX 570 💔
If you're willing to spend the money the 9070xt is an amazing card and still a pretty substantial upgrade from a 3070ti (~50%?)
yeah but it'll definitely be held back from my cpu which is a i5 11600k, thats my dilemma and i cbf upgrading my mobo + ram + cpu on top as i cant particuraly justify it
bah, your CPU is more than fine for the 9070 XT.
@cephh: Whether you're playing at a high resolution and/or on an ultrawide will depend on the GPU, not the CPU.
If you are experiencing stutters or low FPS in the games you currently play, use a tool like MSI Afterburner or another monitoring utility to diagnose the issue
@CrispyChrispy: Nah no stuttering at all, currently have my gpu undervolted just for better temps atm and performance doesn't seem to take that much of a hit. Cyberpunk is the only game that i've struggled with and honestly that's about it.
Cyberpunk is GPU demanding games, you can get few more fps with good CPU, that’s it. Especially 1440p ultrawide and 4K. There are games CPU demanding, but most newer games demand GPU more on 1440p ultrawide.
Managed to get one but I know this will be an expensive journey from now on haha the GPU is just the 1st piece of what will most likely end up being a whole new PC build. A much needed one too.
Now to wait for a decent CPU/Mobo deal 😁
As others have suggested, for productivity software the support for AMD hardware is catching up but is not supported in many cases.
