PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT Spectral White Review

Introduction and Technical Specifications

Introduction

As regular readers will attest, we’re not in the marketing business. We do, however, wonder about the PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT Spectral White card that is our review for today.

There have been loads of versions of PowerColor high end Radeons with the Red Devil brand. It makes sense, since PowerColor are one of the longer service card providers for the AMD GPUs. Most of them, this one for example, are black and red. You don’t need to be either a religious scholar nor a fan of role playing games to know that red and black are the colours most often associated with demons and devils. Red in particular.

Today that colour scheme is switched around. Instead of black, the Spectral White card, well the clue is in the name. Which makes us wonder why PowerColor didn’t change the brand. Surely if they have a Devil card, why not an Angel one? It doesn’t need to be biblically accurate with dozens of eyeballs, but it might help differentiate the two. All we can assume is that PowerColor don’t want to enter into a situation where one card is faster than the other and thus becomes a theological touchstone.

Anyway, enough blather about naming conventions. What you need to know is the Red Devil is the flagship model in PowerColors range. This Spectral White Limited Edition takes all that makes that card great and gives it the colour scheme popular amongst a growing band of builders. How does it perform? Let’s find out.
