XFX is letting you add customisable 3D printed wings to its Quicksilver RX 9070-series graphics playing cards

Whether we’re green-teamers, red-teamers, blue-teamers, or no-teamers, PC {hardware} customisability is one development I believe we are able to in all probability all get behind. In which case, I suppose we must always all be XFX-teamers as a result of the corporate’s simply opened the doorways to a ton of customisability for a few of its RX 9070-series playing cards.

As XFX explains on X, its RX 9070-series Quicksilver playing cards might be modified with customisable 3D printed “wings”:

“The 3D Print information for the 9070 Series Quicksilver detachable wings at the moment are accessible to obtain! Magnets are required for last meeting.”

Note that (contra my superb rendition above) these aren’t really wings—that may make an already chunky GPU even tougher to slot in your case. They do flare the cardboard out a little (the wing-less card has its edges tucked in a bit) however they’re simply a few plates geared toward including a little bit colored aptitude to your card.

You can obtain these information from the corporate’s drivers and downloads web page—scroll all the way down to ‘9070 Series Quicksilver Wings – 3d Print Files’ and press the button. Inside the primary folder there are three extra: one for the LED aspect with a emblem, one for the LED aspect and not using a emblem, and one for the PCIe aspect. In every of those there are IGS, STEP, and STL information for each one-piece and two-piece-split wings.

While Western variations of the XFX RX 9070/9070 XT Quicksilver playing cards seemingly do not include any wings hooked up to both aspect of the shroud, some RX 9070/9070 XT playing cards just lately launched in China include crimson and white magnetic attachments.

So, it appears XFX has opened the Western market as much as getting our arms on these attachments—although we’ll must print them ourselves.

XFX says: “I am unable to say if we’ll promote them sooner or later, however XFX is cool with folks making their very own and providing them on the market! We are excited to see what sort of customizations come from the mod neighborhood by releasing these 3D information.”

Talk a couple of good tone. That’s precisely the kinda stuff I wish to see from producers. It’s cool you could make your personal mods utilizing the 3D print information XFX has supplied, but it surely’s even cooler that the corporate’s giving the go-ahead for promoting them. I’d like to see a correct marketplace for these sorts of mods pop up (I’ll take a pair of runic carving wings, please and thanks).

The RX 9070 XT Quicksilver itself is a base-spec card (2,970 MHz on the increase clock), however remember that this GPU is a dab hand at overclocking/undervolting, as our Dave came upon in his AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT assessment. Just undervolt it, bump up the ability, and let it get to work discovering its personal clock pace ceiling.

Assuming you may really discover it in inventory anyplace (which is rarely a secure guess in 2025) and have a 3D printer useful—or somebody keen to do the printing for you—it is a smart way so as to add a little bit extra of your personal aptitude to your setup.
