PowerColor Red Devil Radeon RX 9070 XT "Backplate Edition" Card Reportedly in the Works
Last week, PowerColor introduced a Spectral White spin-off of its flagship Red Devil Radeon RX 9070 XT Limited Edition model. According to fresh inside track info, the Taiwanese manufacturer is preparing yet another premium level RDNA 4 option. VideoCardz has detected whispers regarding a speculated "Red Devil Radeon RX 9070 XT Backplate Edition" product; the online publication has a history of sourcing pre-launch details from board partner industry moles.
PowerColor's older Red Devil graphics card products can be customized with swappable backplates—Devil Skin designs are identified as "Intrusive" and "Generative." VideoCardz believes that the alleged "Backplate Edition" card will be based on the brand's regular Red Devil RX 9070 XT model. It is not clear whether this special edition package will be bundled with successors to the two RX 7000 Series-only Devil Skin attachments, but insiders have indicated a current "in production" status of "Backplate Edition" cards.VideoCardz has not picked up on signals about a possible "Spectral White Backplate Edition." The manufacturer will likely gauge public interest, soon after the launch of their black/red variant.Owners of previous-gen Red Devil Radeon cards are familiar with this concept. The Intrusive (SBP-790001) and Generative (SBP-790002) Devil Skin backplates are still available to purchase. At the time of writing, Amazon US lists the more traditional-looking attachment at $17.59. PowerColor's disturbingly organic design demands $40.69.

What about having the regular Red Devil in stock like... somewhere?
The generative looks awesome, but then again, it's all relative and personal.
I paid $750 for the Hellhound 9070 XT and very nearly passed on it. I can't imagine paying more.
No way in hell (pun intended) I would pay that much for a 9070 XT.
Swappable backplates are cool if they're done right. I am mixed on this one.
