Visually, the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT of the Speedster MERC and Speedster QICK series are very similar. They are equipped with three-fan cooling systems, each with 13 blades. Both series offer a dual BIOS system.
The most noticeable external difference between the XFX MERC and QICK graphics cards is the design of the rear reinforcement plates. The first has a ribbed surface, the second is flat. In addition, the MERC graphics card series has a backlight. QICK has no backlight.
