Affected by the encryption cold, many mining farms have closed down, which has also resulted in a large number of mining cards, including some unconventional graphics cards. For example, the XFX Radeon RX 6700 XL graphics card to be introduced next in this article adopts a customizable, three-fan model, which should be specially designed for mining.
This is the first time this model has been spotted, which raises the question: How many models of graphics cards don’t make it into the PC realm and go straight to mining cryptocurrencies?
According to the label on the card, this XFX Radeon RX 6700 XL card uses 10GB of video memory. Due to the complexity of the launch, the model did not initially make it to the customer market.
AMD has been offering scaled-down Navi 22 GPUs to its partners, but the companies don’t plan to sell them to gamers. Most AMD Ryzen RX 6700 XL and non-XT card variants are sold to the crypto mining community. AMD won’t officially launch Radeon RX 6700 graphics cards until June 2022, although they were previously sold as the BC-2235 crypto mining card.
Unlike Sapphire, which announced the Radeon RX 6700 GPU (non-XT variant), XFX has yet to officially release this card. The product label ensures its memory configuration and SKU number. The heatsink says “QICK”, but the label on the GPU says “SWFT (309)”, two series sold separately by XFX.
Graphics card models feature dual 8-pin power connectors and a heatsink that measures 2.5 slots. This graphics card is perfect for gamers or users looking for a budget build to compete with Intel, and the company’s recently announced Intel Arc A7-series GPUs are on the way.
