  • AMD have unlocked the VRAM slider from previous 2316MHz to now 3000MHz, however.... does this now give us the BIG gains that we were hoping for in our original review? Well let's retest and it's only fair to test against the RTX 4070 Super in a similar scenario.

    You need the sapphire nitro+ it doesn't have the Samsung memory and everyone with that card is reporting higher clocks 2600 plus megahertz on the vram everyone with the Samsung memory seems to have the same issue of typically getting black screens at around 2450 MHz. Some other people have done extensive testing and have figured out that while it seems stable.

  • @lmchua8644
    @lmchua8644 Před měsícem +1

    What core voltage are you using? The memory oc is somehow tied to the core voltage most likely due to its mcm design, so tweaking the 7900 gre is basically finding the middle ground between core clock and memory clock as lower core voltage means higher core clocks, but lower memory clock.
    You can probably oc a 7900xt too for comparison, and use its core voltage as a reference to oc the 7900 gre's memory

    • @techyescity
      @techyescity  Před měsícem

      Using the 1050mv and even upping the power limits and core clocks helped performance a bit, but the problem with upping the core clocks and power limit targets is the power consumption starts to go way higher. The memory OC per se is quite efficient to gain some extra FPS.

AMD originally designed the GRE as a China only card to get rid of cheap stock they had on hand. It is also hitting a power wall so you can't just up the sliders and get more performance, you have to balance the voltage and GPU power with whatever increase you are trying to get from the memory.

    so just yesterday Wendell from Level1 did a review of the Sapphire Nitro+ and pointed out a few features I had no idea about.... first off the card actually had an extra FAN HEADER AND RGB HEADER !!! ... this blew my mind for some reason.... when was the last time you saw a GPU with the ability to add a 4th fan, let alone connect some rgb doo-dads to control through the same software?? that's just extra and I like Sapphire's thinking (made me wonder if their other models have this too... do you see any on your Pulse??) second, they make it super easy to replace the fans, just in case you keep yours for a bit longer than you expected and0 time becomes your enemy (as if it isn't already lol) and of course they see the replacement fans too I presume
    and third they have some upscaling software of their own called TriXX that also does a few other things too... Wendell seemed to have high praise for it in some instances compared to FSR... now I'm not sure if this was for all sapphire cards or just the Nitro+ .....
    also the dual BIOS switch has a third setting that lets you switch between the 2 BIOSes in software, which is pretty awesome because who wants to open their box just to make sure their OC'ing doesn't brick the card LOL

    My 7900 gre pure with mem oc set to 2400 (fast timings) gives +15 fps in RDR2 at 2k versus the default (non oc). So its also about the games / engine.
    Also here at least, the cheapest rtx 4070 s is about 60-70 eur more expensive than 7900 gre, like the lowest tier 4070s.

    It was a great GPU for £500 before the unlock 5 weeks ago. For the price and performance it is far more valuable than the 4070Ti super and even the 4080.
    I went for the Sapphire pure white and love it. I even gave our 6 year old my 7700 xt so I could justify the GRE purchase and both combined are still less than Ngreedia would charge for a 4070Ti Super or 4080

  • @thesimpleway1998
    @thesimpleway1998 Před měsícem

    Thanks for this review the 7900gre can't gain 10% only from memory... The point is the power consumption if you want 7900xt performance you need over 300w consumption. Xfx and sapphire nitro models have the higher vbios power limit and they are capable of ~325w consumption that with a good sample can give you around same performance of a 7900xt. And the mem oc is not about memory chips but vbios limitation in terms of max current... You can compare the memory current limit between 7800xt and 7900gre 35A vs 25A, they unlock the slider but lock max current...

    2300 with tight timings is the best that could be done, common trend with allot of them.

    hey, i'm new with AMD and have already bought this gpu, he radeon rx 7900 gre Sapphire. But i get less fps than my old gpu ( 3060 ti 8gb). I have done research about settings, but i still get low fps in games like, call of duty and battle field V. On my 3060 ti I got around 100 - 150 fps and on the 7900 gre only around 60 with 100% usage.

      7900 gre in stock form should absolutely stomp the 3060. 60fps sounds like a frame settings cap. My housemate had a siilar issue when he bought his 6750XT. there was a setting in windows display settings applying the frame cap. he looked everywhere for it in adrenaline drivers and it wasn't in there, but in the windows doisplay settings.

  • @CrashPilot1000
    @CrashPilot1000 Před měsícem +1

    IDK, if I was in the market right now I would probably toss in the 120 bucks or so and get the 7900xt since the 7900GRE is just the crippled version of it. So I would uncripple the GRE and get more vram in the first place. ATM prices are still tough though but not as brutal as in the mining boom (remember the prices of a 3080??). I think a good 1440p card with 16GB vram should be 350 - 400 IMHO. On the other hand I think the Game-Devs could really make their games shine with dedication to optimizations instead of: buy more raw power and eat the software-bugs.

      Others tended to get better results. Increasing the power limit and undervolting combined seem to create the best outcome, more like a 7-8% result on average.
      But, as with every overclock, it's all gonna come down to the sample you end up with. Maybe they got lucky with better samples, or maybe stability was easier to get in a different climate.
      Also many testers use 7800X3D CPU's and this could also have an impact.
      No outcome is less valid than another. It just shows there will be variation in your results based on your system and the time you invest into tuning the overclock.

    It is a good thing that the 7900 GRE costs about the same as the 7800 XT though of course both are too expensive for what you get. You can pick which limitation you find less problematic: the small GPU of the 7800 XT or the memory-bottleneck (only a 256-bit bus, a lower memory bandwidth than the 7800 XT) of 7900 GRE which will limit the performance on some games. I myself prefer to pass on both. Hopefully RDNA5 comes fast, RDNA4 is another generation with only 1 die and cuts of it, like the 5700 XT and RX 580. Maybe even worse (even smaller than 260 mm²) if the predicted diesize is correct.

    • @stangamer1151

      7900 XT memory modules are obviously better binned. That is why they are clocked higher at stock. Looks like AMD released GRE version just to use defected 7900 XT chips and underspeced GDDR6 modules.
      Nobody can guarantee that a certain card will work at higher memory speeds that stock ones. It is a lottery. One sample can gain 100 MHz, the other one - 200 MHz and so on.
      +1000 MHz on 4070 Super is also not the best result. I saw much better results, like +2000 MHz or even more. You are just lucky, if your GPU can do better than average.
