I really hope I get this one. Or actually anything but this OEM model. It would really ruin the look of my glass panelI got the XFX Merc319 and I'm very impressed with it, looks really nice with the glass case and performs really well . But yeah I would of been disappointed if I had that ngl. But if your not going to see it then it doesn't matter but enjoy the new pc

It's not a bad or bad looking card tbh, and I nearly ended up with one. Only things I was leery of were 'MERC' tagged backplate (though I did want a vertical mount anyway originally) and how long it was... it's not for smaller cases (it would definitely need a GPU brace/bracket too) On the other hand, I actually really liked the classic muscle car grill looks of the AMD ref cards this gen, definitely better than Nvidia ref imo though not for everybody's tastes. There's far worse looking (cough Asrock cough Taichi... what IS the deal with only centre fan RGB and that weird ring around it?) cards out there.
Yeah, I 100% agree that ASRock are not that great looking indeed. What's bothering me with this OEM model is the look from the side (when it's mounted horizontally like I intend to). Seeing the only the radiator with no name and no light is kinda boring imo
. I really like the reference design too even though I wouldn't say to no to the OC and the cooling solution the MERC 319. Strange because when I ask PCS the cards they received recently (to guess which one was in my build), they told me that it was the XFX RX-68TMATFD8 model.EDIT : I didn't realize but you received yours months ago @Rice0603, when the merc 319 was not yet sold as a separate pricier model. So this SWIFT model is more likely to be the one I'll get.

So quick update, I ended up with this model too the RX-68XTAQFDB. I'm a bit disappointed since I've been told that I'd get the reference design which looks, imo, better and has the same performance but well, happy I even got one. I just can't see a single review of this model online and I don't know if the cooling solution is better than the reference model (similar to the Merc 309 core version) or if it has any other advantages (this model is actually really HUGE, guess it is for a reason).
I'll see how it'll behave in game though.

Hi, I'm a bit late to the show but I was wondering that GPU's length? I'm thinking of getting one too but I'm not sure if it will fit in my case, thanks!So it arrived today and not sure exactly on the model but it seems to be an XFX speedster 6800xt swf 309 Core. Which I can only find very limited info on. No branding on the actual card.
