According to the store, new Radeon cards based on the RDNA 4 architecture will go on sale starting March 6. The site also indicates the GPU frequencies of the new products in some versions:

• XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB Mercury White Magnetic Air RX-97TMARGW9 — Boost-частота 3100 МГц;
• XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB Mercury Magnetic Air RX-97TMARGBA — Boost frequency 3100 MHz;
• XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB Quick Silver RX-97TQICKBA — Boost frequency 2970 MHz;
• XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB Swift RX-97TSWF3BA — Boost frequency 2970 MHz;
• XFX Radeon RX 9070 16GB Swift RX-97SWFB3BA – Boost frequency 2700 MHz.

As you can see, some versions of the RX 9070 XT with additional factory GPU overclocking will be able to operate at frequencies higher than 3100 MHz. According to Amazon, the base frequency of the RX 9070 XT GPU is 1870 MHz.

The leak also revealed that the Mercury models will feature three 8-pin power connectors, which will differentiate them from some of the flagship models from ASRock and Sapphire, which will feature a 12+4-pin 12V-2×6 connector.

Another feature of XFX Mercury graphics cards is the magnetic fans of the cooling system. This design is designed to simplify the maintenance of graphics accelerators if necessary.

The marketplace also announced preliminary prices for the XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB OC Magnetic Air White (white) and XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB OC Magnetic Air (black). They are 1277.51 and 1438.03 Canadian dollars or 907 and 1021 US dollars, respectively.
