That's why their results might not identically translate to this model, the XT model draws a fair amount more power than a 9070, but a both cards share the same chassis and physical dimensions. We had them both unboxed together, make sure you check case fitment for the XFX model, it's absolutely massive compared to the Reaper. The Reaper is under 300 mm and only two slots wide. The XFX is way longer and occupies three slots. Another thing we immediately noted, the XFX has a dual bios, the Reaper does not.
Fast forward well over a year later, both are very happy with their GPUs, they both are into PC gaming and they perform similarly. The XFX however does run cooler and quieter than the Reaper does and I'm guessing it's due to the massive cooler and larger fans. I don't think you can go wrong with either choice, but if it were me buying one and using it for years, a small upcharge for the XFX is worth it in my opinion. It also had better overall build quality than the Powercolor Reaper, again these were 9070 XTs not 9070s so YMMV. Perhaps the 9070 pulling substantially less watts, so on That model Reaper might be plenty to keep it cool without overworking the fans but on the XT they work hard and that translates to noise. On the Quicksilver even with the BIOS switch to quiet mode it runs cooler.
I don't know if this information is helpful because they aren't exactly the same but I thought I would share our experiences with the XT versions of both cards.
