The new 9070 XT seems like a really interesting card for Blackbird owners.

We've just seen the Sapphire cards and they also appear to be 2-slot, at least one of them is even slightly less than that.

Edit: apparently not. Nevermind me.

The PowerColor RX 9070 XT Reaper card would likely fit IF your case is tight.

I am too interested in obtaining this card when it is available in my local computer store.

lepidotos:
Yeah, that's the one I would be looking at because it lets me use the x8 slot for an NVMe card. I was wondering if it might have some issues with the lower fan header, I guess let us know if you do get it, but it seems like if the RX 6800 fits (I remember you saying you tried it) it shouldn't be too much of an issue since either one is longer than that header.

MauryG5:
The size of these cards depends on the manufacturers and what is emerging. However, it seems that the 2-slot ones are only produced by Power Color, so unfortunately there is little choice regarding the third-party manufacturer. Probably the PRO versions will all be 2-slot but we will have to wait for the release and the prices will obviously be higher than the current counterpart. I would also like to switch to this card, but I think we will have to wait a long time before having the possibility of having the adequate support software on Power. I personally need a card that is 2 slots and that is not more than 40 mm thick otherwise I will not be able to insert it into my computer...

lepidotos:
Yeah, same here. I think the PowerColor is the option to go for if you're either impatient or just don't have the money for a workstation card, I think W7700 is still a few hundred more used vs. the 9070 XT Reaper at retail price and that's for a card that's not as powerful and has the same amount of memory. W7800, which would be the real equivalent, is easily $1500 minimum used. There's also the 9070 Reaper and Hellhound, both of which are also 40mm, and we'll have to see about the 9060 and 60 XT, I would hope that they wouldn't reuse 340 W coolers for 150 W cards, but honestly, I can't be sure with the hardware industry the way it is.

At least it's PowerColor, a known and generally liked brand that we're stuck with, and not Asus or the like who are definitely known and less so liked, or a brand with neither quality.

As far as I know, there's already support for RDNA4 in amdgpu so it should hopefully be generally good to go, though until someone actually buys one to test it that's gonna be an unknown. Personally, I'm not looking to move on from my RX 570 for at minimum another 6 months, possibly a year. Just whenever the full RDNA4 lineup is out on the market and available reliably at retail price, and couldn't afford to even if I wanted at the moment anyway.
