The specifications are the same (as they have the same graphics chip).
The manufacturer mainly markets the cooling and visuals (LEDs, branding).
The Quicksilver is slightly longer, which may be why it has a longer cooler.
There is also an option with magnetic air fans (but that would be another model).
It would be interesting to have an exact direct comparison.
My gut feeling tells me that the cheaper version is perfectly adequate.
The main differences between the two models lie in the design, the cooling system and, in some cases, the technical details.
- Cooling and design: The Quicksilver Edition is available as a White Gaming Edition with a special cooling design and white housing, while the Swift Edition offers a different cooling design and possibly a different colour scheme.
- Dimensions and weight: The Quicksilver Edition measures 35 cm in length, the Swift Edition may differ slightly, but exact values are not always directly comparable.
- Power connections: The Quicksilver Edition requires 2x PCIe 8-pin, while other models such as the Mercury Edition require 3x PCIe 8-pin - this is not clearly documented for the Swift Edition, but is usually similar to other models in the series.
- Accessories and equipment: The Quicksilver Edition includes a GPU support stand, which is not always the case with the Swift Edition.
- Performance and technology: Both models are based on the same GPU (Radeon RX 9070 XT) with 16 GB GDDR6, 4096 shaders and similar features; the main differences are in the cooling system and design.
No complete technical data is available for the Swift Edition, so the differences are mainly to be found in the design and cooling system.
