PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT Limited Spectral White Edition Reportedly Arriving on April 8
Late last week, a leak suggested a forthcoming Spectral White Limited Edition refresh of the existing Red Devil Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card design. PowerColor's pale reinterpretation of flagship level hardware appeared online courtesy of an accidental Amazon listing; indicating $899/€929 pricing. The Taiwanese manufacturer's Spectral White product line—historically favoring Hellhound SKUs—is viewed favorably as offering a nearly "all-white" aesthetic; extending to proper coloration of PCB and I/O panel designs.
As expected, PowerColor has distributed Limited Edition packages to media and influencer outlets—as evidenced by Overclock3D's very recent showcasing of a sample unit. In response to last week's leak, OC3D's "Tiny" Tom Logan "previewed" the ghostly Red Devil RX 9070 XT variant—he noted that a "performance/review" NDA is still in effect; due to be lifted on April 2. Video coverage explored a slight "bending of the rules," but Logan did not power up his evaluation specimen. As evidenced by the unboxing process, PowerColor has bundled in several Spectral White-tinted accessories—indicating a commendable level of attention to detail. By contrast, the manufacturer's slightly inelegant and contradictory nomenclature is confirmed by outer box labelling—loudly exclaiming: "RED DEVIL Spectral White." Amusingly, Logan and his team have nicknamed this new sub-variant: "White Devil."
OC3D TV's video description: "If the (Spectral White) Hellhound wasn't fast enough for you, PowerColor are doing a Limited Edition Spectral White Devil 9070 XT—and we are here to give you a good look at the card before its official launch day! Launch date now changed to April 8."

$749.99 is still way overpriced but unfortunately realistic because their own Reaper model's new MSRP is $699.99. :banghead:
At least it's actually all white, including the PCB. Although in that video he should've powered it on so we can see what the hellstone shroud RGB looks like.
I wish more brands did what PowerColor is doing, I'm pretty sure it's not cheap to go with white components, I mean even the cables and power connectors are white... the volume is way less than the normal black variants, which should cost them more and I think it's the reason other brands don't do it.
It's easier for brands just to change cooler shrouds and backplates and call it white, lazy way.
And since this is a higher SKU model, then assuming $650 or $675 on top, that would bring it to around $844. :banghead:
Damn this f***ing sucks.
If you don't want the extras stuff, the normal RX 9070 Red Devil is not limited assuming you can get your hands on one for a reasonable price. The same applies for the white edition.
I think the only major supplier/AIB of 9070/xts in europe is XFX right now.
XFX definitely has the most variants however. Swift, Quicksilver, and Mercury with black, white, gaming, OC and Mag Air options.
