XFX to launch Radeon RX 6800 QICK 319 custom graphics card

A new XFX Radeon RX 6800 has been spotted in a Swedish retailer. The unannounced XFX Radeon RX 6800 16GB Qick 319 is very similar to the Merc 319 card, but there are some differences worth mentioning.

Initially spotted by Paweł Maziarz, the Webhallen listing of the XFX Radeon RX6800 16GB Qick 319 found by @harukaze5719 doesn't detail much about this graphics card besides its price. Listed at 8990kr (£783), the card seems to be priced slightly below most Radeon RX 6800 graphics cards in stock throughout Europe.

Taking a first look at both the Qick 319 and the Merc 319 cards, both seem fairly similar, but a closer look tells otherwise. The trapezium-shaped part with the “Radeon RX 6800” logo of the shroud has been removed, resulting in a more open design. Also, the XFX logo between the 2x  power connectors and the edge of the card doesn't seem to feature LED lighting like the Merc 319 cards.

Considering these changes, it seems XFX is trying to cut the cost on the eye-candy features of the Qick 319 cards, meaning that this card should be placed below the Merc 319. XFX can also differentiate both cards through factory overclocks.

XFX hasn't revealed the availability of these cards yet but we should expect more information soon.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
