Hi , can you Edit your comment and add = What version of 7900XT was test in this video. I mean Powercolor ? Hellbound ? or AMD Standart Edition. Good video so i smash like button.
Comment updated.
I bought my 7900 XT about a year ago. I am playing games at 1440p. Yes, it was a bit pricy, about 1100 dollars (bought in Sweden). At the same time i sold my 6700 XT and got 400 dollars for that. I defenitely think that the 7900 XT will last me for many years to come. I am very happy with its performance!
Hey I’m happy to hear that! Thanks for sharing your experience with me. Yeah the 7900 XT has plenty of life left in it!
Are you happy with it's ray tracing performance?
@@arkaneforyou Yes, for me it has enough rt-performance. Though, ray tracing is not very important for me. If it is, then you should probably buy an Nvidia card instead.
which is crazy is I bought a 6700xt for my wife at 180$ off used market then a brand new 7900 xt nitro plus for 500$ always try to trade your old gpu for a lower price that's what I did to get the 7900 xt W ill be getting the 7900xtx when the price drops from next gen release dont over pay on pc parts gentlemen buy a 6700xt to start if your a 1080p gamer
@@imp9ct239 how did you get sapphire nitro 7900 xt for 500 USD?
Finally a review that cuts the RT+upscalling bs it's all about native performance good review keep up the good work bro
Thank you 🙏
Just purchased the hell hound 7900xt.
I love it. Got the fans always spinning at 1200. I don't hear it.
Idle in my cool room is like 22-24c lo. Hotspot 29c.
Gaming around 51-61c and hotspot like 78.
Have not had even a SINGLE issue of any kind.
I was Nvidia guy for most my life.
AMD is super stable for me at least.
And I love their software. Very fun stuff!
Nice being able to have cool metrics without afterbuner needed.
Fluid motion frames is hilariously fun to experiment with.
But since I have, and play on a 60 htz tv even at 4k the games I play don't use it fully! insane.
Hey TRD, I just ordered the Hell Hound 7900xt, should I bother turning on the OC for 1440P? Only playing F4 & Skyrim but getting Starfield soon.
@@stevengill5931 try it and find out aksing on the net is stupid.. u have the card right? then test it out till you are satisifed
It's good to see this card is still doing well. IDK what AMD was thinking with their original MSRP but it's about time the price became reasonable for consumers. I ended up getting a 6900 XT in a similar fashion when the prices came down and I am very happy with my card. I imagine anyone who shopped like I did and are now looking at a 7900 XT as a prospective new GPU for 1440p will be very happy and have a solid 3-4 years of use.
Great video/analysis on this card. I think sometimes people forget about this model when shopping around.
Thank you! Yeah good point for sure. Admittedly, it can be hard to keep up with so many different but yet similar SKUs lol. But yeah the 7900 XT is a great option for 1440p gamers.
Good review on the card. Keep up the great content and keeping us informed.
Thanks! Will do!
3:51 lol, you know I'm always interested in BIOS/UEFI settings - thanks for being transparent and sharing!!! (I know xmp/expo is always enabled lol).
Awesome video! Exceptionally well done! I greatly appreciate the clarity of settings for each benchmark and using native settings! Also, the quick and easy auto OC was nice to see, and I certainly understand not including a manual OC as that will vary for each card and can take a lot of time to dial in max stable settings... and of course you will aways have some negative Joe out there having to bad-mouth your settings lol - again, great info and presentation - excellently well done!!!
Lol, you are most welcome! I'm happy you enjoyed it so much!
Thank you for the continued support!
Great review. I think this card makes a lot of sense in 2024 at it's current price. Especially if it needs to last 2+ generations. A month back, I purchased an XFX RX 7900 XT for a new 7800X3D based build. Paid $725, no regrets whatsoever. It's a good match for my 1440P, 34" curved ultra wide. So far great performance with ultra settings on Helldivers 2, Enshrouded, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn amongst others.
Thank you!
$725 is not bad at all. I’m happy you’re having a great gaming experience with the 7900 XT.
Great review. Loved seeing there’s some oc potential.
Thank you for watching and supporting! I remember being in line for the XTX with you. The Microcebter employee said “we have 70 cards. 35 XTX and 35 XT.” You could just hear the crowd moan. No one wanted the XT. At $900, it was a hard sell. But today for $750 or less, it’s not so bad.
I'm going with Sapphire RX7900XT Nitro+ and 7800X3D in my new build. Upgrading from GTX 980, served me great. It's been awhile.
I am upgrading to the same, from the same. The 980 still kicking. Itll make for a good computer for my daughter.
Did u end up getting that card? I really want to get the 7900xt as well but I’ve been hesitant because people were saying they were having driver issues, but I figure they’ve probably solved the driver issues for the most part by now
@@dill_cream3015 I went with 7900XTX Nitro+ Vapor-X, no issues at all. Monstrous GPU.
@@dill_cream3015 I went with 7900XTX Nitro+ Vapor-X. No issues, beast card.
@@0uther3 love to hear it, I might have to pull the trigger now haha thanks for the input enjoy that card man!
i have a 7900xt and im using the upscaling tec to got to 4k. it looks so good, upscaling to 144fps max graphics in game is play most, couldnt be happier
That’s fantastic!
At release the 7900XTX was better value, but now with the reasonable price the 7900XT is a solid choice indeed
I agree! Well said.
Your videos are really good, i thought you were a million sub account!
I'm debating on switching to amd Ive had nividia since the 20 series would u consider switching if I need the video memory if theres one local store that sells for 999 cad I could go 4070ti super if I had to if that is more 1440p high and mid to high 4k
My newly purchased machine has a similar configuration, only on Amd bases 7900x3d, & 7900xt, only used for native 4k games. Perfect in 4k
Man I love my AMD reference 7900xt. Bought it day 1 and no regrets and I find it doesn't look ridiculous (sleek and feels well built). People say its not a 4k card but man this card looks good using my LG C1 at 4k with a little upscaling if needed. Cyberpunk with mainly high settings i'm getting around 100- 110fps (capped) using FSR quality. Good enough for me!
The 7900xt is an entry 4K GPU just like the 4070ti Super.
I'm happy you love it so much! The XT is an entry level 4K GPU as in 4K 60 without upscaling.
My last card Asus Rog Strix 6800xt LC OC did 4 K just fine. I upgraded to the MSI SUPRIM LC 4090 and I think I'll sit on it until the 6000 series or until the 9900XTXTXXX.
for 700 seems like a good deal, it can even compete against nvidia new 4070 ti super
Do you reckon this card would do good with a 14600k? Or do you recommend another cpu. Thanks!
I was able to get an open box of that same card at Microcenter for $685+tax last year when the MSRP dropped to $800. Definitely a solid card. I play games at 3440x1440 and am able to average 60fps or higher on most games fully maxed out.
You got a really good deal! That’s not bad at all. Even by today’s $750 MSRP. Yeah it’s a great card.
i just got my 7900 xt for 680, I am liking it so far.
That’s a good deal!
699 on new egg plus 20 bucks back for cash back can't go wrong
I have always loved the aesthetic of the AMD cards. This is a really great value overall if you are targeting 1440p!
I agree! The card looks great!
Awesome review.
I just bought a 7900XT MERC310
Since I’m on 1440p 165hz it seems this card will do the best for the money. I dont like any of the DLSS/FSR stuff personally just pure rasterization.
I’m matching it to a 5800x I got a deal on so I think it’ll be a decent combo!
Thank you! That is a great setup for 1440p. Happy gaming!
Had a 7900xt since last year now, got in on sale for 600€ im very happy with it.
Dont overclock those cards like you would with nvidia cards or older amd models.
Small things go a long way, undervolting is the way, 1070mV (you might get it lower), oc the memory to 2650mhz (you might get 2700), and set the power limit to +15%
Undervolting and +15% power lest the core clock boost so much higher than what you would reach with a normal oc, from my experience at least and i tried normal oc before so undervolting it the way to go on 7000 series amd.
From that i gained about 20-30% more fps in most games, yea its gonna draw about 400w on full load but only for games like dying light 2 @1440p or benchmarks so i just play games like that in cold months xD
Those temps are not hotspot or memory junction I take it?
I am interested in this card and this model is the cheapest in my country , my concerns are - is the temperature ever going too high and causing issues , and is there coil whine under heavy load and if there is how bad is it because that would be a deal breaker for me .
hmm, did you notice the temps on the auto overlcock performance, they were way lower then the normal run. I have the sapphire pulse 7900xt and it rocks games at 1440p, rarely ramps up the fans which it a good think as I have it in very small all vent case right next to my monitor. Love the card, will have to try the auto overclock to see if I get the same results.
I think the auto overclock also changes the fan curve. Also, undervolting these cards are part of the overclocking process as odd as that sounds. But that also leads to lower temps.
Very refreshing to see someone focus on pure performance and leave the upscaling stuff out of the discussion.
Thank you!
i have the same powercolor model about a year now and had zero problems with it not a single game crashed for me didn't get the xtx because it was and is still much more than 100$ for exaple in my curency xt is 3659zl and xtx is 5399zl and 1usd is 3,92zl
its either this or the 4070ti super for me, but the nvidia card is 150 euro more, question is though will i miss the reflex mode and notice slower latency ? :/ also really unsure due to the odd time i do play single player games i do enjoyray tracing
I’d say save the money and get the XT. As for latency, I’d say no you probably won’t notice it. But AMD has its own version of Reflex called Anti Lag. You can try that. Worse case scenario, you can always return the AMD card and get the Nvidia card. But I think it’s worth trying the
AMD card for a bit to save the money.
Just ordered the Hellhound 7900XT Spectral White to replace my Asus Radeon 8GB Rog Strix. Don't think I'll worry about OC for my 1440P, she'll be right.
I snagged an Asrock 7900XT on sale in November and paired it with a coupon i had for newegg. So i paid 620 before taxes, then sold the 6800 i had for 320. So 300 all in for a 7900xt is amazing
That’s an amazing deal!
Found a Red Devil 7900xtx for $700 - totally worth it. I really enjoyed my 7900xt and I do think it would have still been enough but I couldn't pass up the xtx for 4k gaming.
I use 7900xt for 4k gaming no issues.
@@uwont4gitmeso 7900 xt will be enough for 3 years if Playing at 4k 60 fps without fsr??
@@shubhamkumar8596 yes with or without fsr.
Finally someone that focuses on RAW FPS. I love watching a lot of tech channels but I HATE when they justify going nvidia because of DLSS....IMO dlss is for older cards that cant provide raster performance anymore and it should be viewed as a tool to help older cards survive longer. All NEW cards should be more than capable of providing great raster performance. I have tested so many GPUs these past 2 years. I should have done tech videos LOL I never use upscaling
Thank you! Yes, I agree. Upscaling should be for older cards. It should be the icing on the cake and not the cake itself. Sadly, Nvidia and even AMD now showcase these tools as main selling points for their current gen GPUs.
Just got a 7900xt for $580 last week on FB marketplace. I think that should hold me over for the next gen.
Wow that is a fantastic deal!
Just paid $650 for one. Just the video I was looking for. Thanks shadowfox
Awesome 👏 that’s a great deal!
I have the Powecolor Heallhound 7900XT…. It’s been fantastic so far … I got it 6 months ago… The only complaint I have is it can be a little loud but not a big deal
Try playing with your fan curve. You may be able to get it slightly quieter.
very happy with my 7900xt
That’s awesome!
best thing about about this card is turning the setting down to high setting at 4k. you get a big jump in performance because you dont hit a bandwidth limit. 800gbs thats more than the 4070ti 504gbs and the 4080. nvidia uses the faster GDDR6X but cripples it with the bus so it slower than the older GDDR6
Good point!
I just bought this GPU for my new build, considering I'm upgrading from an old rig from 2018 that had a, now defect, 1080ti, it's going to be great. I don't care about raytracing, as long as I can play on high graphic settings and still get good FPS, I'm happy.
Yes! That’ll be a great upgrade for you!
It's a really solid 1440 card, you can even have RT on high at a comfortable above 60fps in some games without any upscaling. Also overclockes very well above what you can overclock any of the 40 series Nvidia cards. Only downside is the price tho models often go on sale.
The price is way better now than it was at launch. I suspect it’ll only get cheaper in time.
Got a xfx 7900xt its flawless highly recommend it
7900 XT Overclock Undervolt I'm running: Min Clock 2073, Max Clock 2855, Voltage 1000, VRAM Fast Timing, 2700 max frequency, Power limit maxed at +15. That will lower idle power and give solid, stable boost to performance across every game I've played
Thank you for the advice.
@@ErockOnTech You'll probably have to tinker with your settings for your card and system, but the over/under worked well for me with AMD cards.
got the xt for 650 and likely will try the auto OC option. not interested in 4k gaming so using this for 1440p is great in my situation then
I agree and sounds great!
@ShadowFoxBiH your an absolute legend for this man! Great video Erock. I personally use this GPU with an AMD ryzen 7 7800 x3d and I love the performance! Its meant to compete with the 4070 and yet it out preforms the 4080 in some titles. Runs perfectly at 1440p with high refresh rates and runs 4k really well also. AMD is the absolute best for price to performance!
I agree! ShadowFoxBiH is the man!
Just bought the Asus tuf oc version and it's brilliant. Fast and quiet but so big. Only 740 pounds in the UK. I bought it and will be selling my 4090 because I couldn't get rid of camera panning judder on both my Asus pg27aqdm oled and my Alienware aw3423dwf. I put my sons 6750xt in and the judder was gone. It seems those monitors claim to be Gsync compatible but there not good with Nvidia cards. They wasn't validated in the drivers. Now it's ridiculously smooth with the Amd cards. No point in extra fps if it isn't smooth.
I havent bought this card yet but im hoping for sure it will be dope! Im gonna get the 7900xt XFX MERC 310 for around 740 dollars. Im sure i will be happy with that as i am making a massive upgrade from a gtx 1650 to that😂
Oh wow! Yeah coming from a 1650 means either one of these cards will be a massive upgrade for you!
Recently picked up a 7900 xtx for 999$ USD. Haven't thrown it in the rig yet, I have 3 working pcs's so no rush, needing a better cpu to pair.
XTX is a great GPU. Even better than the XT.
I grabbed the XTX back in April 2023 because it was only 12% more expensive than the XT. I don’t regret it, the extra VRAM and 20% raw performance is nice.
I got a rx 7900xt because I didn't want to change my power supply.
@@misterpinkandyellow74 I am running a SF750 (Platinum 750w) with my XTX + 5800X3D combo and it’s been puuuuurfect
The cheapest 7900XT is $1149 AUD, the equivalent of $760 USD, which is a mighty good price, especially for us here. If it was that price when I built my PC in Oct 23, I would have grabbed it over the 7800XT. But since I've dropped from 1440 to 1080 since then, due to eyesight issues, it's all good. Edit: Love your jacket mate.
Oh man I hate to hear about your eyesight issues. I hope everything works out for you on that. Best of luck! Thank you for the compliment on the jacket. I may keep wearing it for videos. At least while it’s cold here haha.
@@ErockOnTechthanks mate. The eyesight thing isn't too serious, thankfully, just a combination of existing issues and getting older. The bright side is my system, built for 1440, has a longer "future delay"...love that term by the way.
@@arokh72Thank you 😊I’m happy you like the term!

Hey can you make similar video about rx-7700 xt??
I don’t know why but between all the reviews I have seen, your’s is the most conclusive and comprehensive. Maybe it is as you said the raw numbers that keeps the talk on point👍
Thank you! I appreciate it! I do my best and I try to make reviews the way I want to see them.
Is it worth it over a radeon vii for 1440p I feel bad if I will switch because the radeon vii still is powerful but I found it not pefroming well for vr games and in games it gets so hot and loud
I’d say yes. The 7900 XT will do better in VR. If you get an AIB partner model, the temps and noise levels will be excellent.
@@ErockOnTech I ended up buying the 4070 super I hope I made the right choice
@@lumia_dayZIt’s not a bad card.
I have a 4070 ti and I only play chess (almost). Now I'm wondering whether I should just get a 7900xt or xtx just for the vram. There is no end to this madness.
I bought my son a sapphire pulse 7900 xt for 600 USD (open box at microcenter without a box) in June 2023. Even today I can see it's a great deal. Wasn't a fan of the idle power draw, but great GPU...esp for the price I got it for.
At this point...I'd rather wait for RDNA 4 because the Navi 32 (7800 xt and 7700 xt) as well as Navi 31 (7900 xtx and 7900 xt) have really high idle power draw when used with certain monitors. Using youtube also draws like 80-120 watts which is unacceptable. Waiting for next gen to finally upgrade my 3060 ti...we'll see what the offerings are!
They fixed the idle power with drivers.
the man shadowfox
Thank you ShadowFox! AMD Marketing Department should learn from you.
I hope so!
@ErockOnTech How is one of your viewers beating AMD marketing at their own job? LOL
We enjoy your channel man. God bless you.
@@HectorPriamedes1Thank you very much! That is very kind of you to say!
If you had an AMD processor, you would also gain more performance with the SAM technology. I have a 5700X3D and RTX 3070, looking into purchasing the 7900 XT when it drops to $600-700. I like that reference model design, makes it look stealthy.
Yeah, so that means if you’re happy with this performance you’ll be even happier with an AMD CPU 😊
How is £700 for 60fps at 4K any good? My 970sc is 60fps at 1440p (£300 new 10yrs ago) Just not good enough from any company. Should cost £400 for budget 4K 60fps regardless of who make them by now. 8K 60fps should be high end £700...what happened to the progress? Still this better than Ngreedia's lack of effort and RAM. Probably a solid 5yr card
Honestly I hope amd 8000s currently the power route like the rx 7900xtx and 7900xt but make it more power efficient like the 40 series cards =) one can dream.
i heard people having alot of heat problems is that true if yes then whats the fix
I don’t think so no. The card was fine for me.
Why the overclocked version always get lower gpu temperatures?? I mean, if the fan's RPM arent there I guess you guys didnt tweaked anything related right, so why are the oc version so much cooler?
I used Auto OC. So AMD’s adrenaline software applied the OC. This includes changing the stock fan curve to a custom fan curve.
@@ErockOnTech that makes sense. Do we have the delta of the fan curves, I didnt see it but I also watched it at 2x while doing stuff :)
@@gxmcdg no sadly I don’t have it and didn’t show it. Sorry.
Glad you took a look at this. I disagree it’s not a 4K card. You said that several times in the video and never backed it up with why. Also this a reference card third party cards generally run much better on temps and frequencies for the same price. 7900XT’s can be found for $699 right now!
Ok you disagree. Cool. Buy it and use it at 4K if that’s what you want. I did back it up. I showed 4K benchmarks. But it depends on what you want in 4K gaming. To me, 4K 60 isn’t really a 4K card. Look at Starfield. Starfield is an AMD sponsored title and yet at 4K, the 7900 XT only gets about 65 fps or so. Again, that’s in the video. Anyway, PC gaming is great because you are not locked down. You can game however you want. Which is truly a beautiful thing. So go for it!
If you tested with an AMD cpu like the 7800x3d would the results not be even better ? Great vid ;)
Thank you! Yes it would be better.
As a 3060Ti owner, if I've waited this long I can wait until the 8000 series comes out!
I have this card, but I had to transition back to my 3060 Ti as my system started crashing when playing MW3 in HDR at 1440p through Battlenet, even using default driver mode. May be either the card failing or driver software, but my troubleshooting can't determine the actual cause as I can play other games through Steam with no issues. I see your COD plays fine.
Yes, my COD plays fine with no issues. In fact, COD favors AMD GPUS over Nvidia by a substantial margin. COD is the only game where an XTX can beat a 4090. Your situation is very interesting indeed. I know it is a pain but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your COD or drivers, or even Windows?
@@ErockOnTech have done your suggestions several times, but no joy. I have read that COD favours AMD which is why I bought it in the first place. Thank you for your time and reply. Much appreciated.
@@Simon_HawkshawNo problem. I’m sorry it’s not working.
@@ErockOnTech Thank you again for your content and helpful Patreons. I really don't know why it doesn't work. The game plays with both my RTX 2070 Super and 3060 Ti without a problem.
@@Simon_HawkshawNo problem! I’m happy to help where I can. Yeah your situation is very odd. I wish I had more ideas.
i'm planing zo buy an rx 7900xt or xtx i don't know yet which one
if you can find the XTX for around 100 dollars more then get that one . IF it costs more then only get it if you are planning to use it for ai or work related . But nvidia has much better for that kind of job (3090 , 4090 , titan etc.) . The biigest difference is the vram . For wattage , the XTX wastes more power and it is a bit faster clock wise . It needs at least 750-800 watt psu because if you max it out it will consume a lot .
Anyone else notice that the temps were lower on the OC mode? I wonder if it ramped the fans up to do that?
Yes the temps went down in the OC mode. I think the Auto OC may have lowered the voltage a bit and therefore led to lower temps. Believe it or not, RDNA 2 works very well with under volting.
I've got a 6900XT but going to a 7900XT doesn't quite seem like enough of an upgrade
what about render in 3D software ?
I don’t use any 3D software. I’m sorry. I can say it’s fine for video recording, video rendering, and video editing. But for 3D work, I would have to suggest another creator. If I get some support on my team in the future, I will try and add 3D to the benchmarks.
I love my 7900 XT. No regrets.
Awesome!
Helldivers 2 FTW bro! lol
It’s all the rage right now!
@@ErockOnTech lol brother you don’t have to tell me, whole crew dropped Warzone ranked and been playing that the MOMENT something goes wrong like a cheater or something like long queues 😂
I remember us both not buying this at Microcenter in December 2022
Haha yeah I was just thinking about that day while filming this. Man time is flying by.
Considering the 8000 series is supposed to come out this year, I’d wait for that. Rumors are saying the best card in it, the 8800 XT is going to be about 10% slower than the 7900 XTX which is a little faster than the 7900 XT.
The 8000 series is supposed to be cards with really good price to performance instead of really high prices for mediocre performance, so it’ll probably have a cheaper price then the 7900 XT.
They are also improving raytracing with the 8000 series. With the announcement of AMD AI upscaling there won’t be any reason to go for NVIDIA for gamers soon lol
RT cores aren't being advanced, nVidia is finally giving the scam up because new game engines are rasterizing RT/PT. I wouldn't even be surprised to see nVidia drop RT cores entirely, or move them to the Quadro line exclusively. AMD never separated that function from raster, so of course their RT/PT improves naturally without forcing light sources to go through a completely different process before raster.
whats the best amd cards for 1080p 144hz??
rx 6700 xt
7800xt !
@@RKBenchmarker Thanks
ShadowBoxBIH is a legend

I have a 4070 ti and 7800XT both are good cards but i think 16GB on my 7800XT is overkill i never go above 11 so 12GB is okay and future proofing i don't think that works anymore because as soon as something new comes out lets face it we will want it so i say buy what you want thinking i am going to want a new graphics card when the next one comes out.
I believe we’re past that texture demand until something like ps6 comes out. 8GB-12GB can get you really good resolution and textures and models in games even being zoomed in .
It’s all about lightings, reflections, and world streaming (where PC struggles the most) from now on.
Really hope in next gen AI NPCs and sandbox physics will become the next big thing
Due you have two PC’s. If not sell both of them for a 4080 Super.
Yeah like I said in the video, there is no such thing as future proofing. That is why I call it future delay.
Considering i paid 500$ for mine yea id say its a great gpu coming from a 6700xt for high fps pure rasterization gpu
used market in box brand new !
Wow $500 is an amazing deal!
Price of rx7900xtx will go up , its being used by AI startups to run AI compute , cause $900.00 rx7900xtx offers about 40% of compute power of more expensive nvidia $40,000.00 h100 gpu.
You can buy 50 Amd gpus for 1 nvidia gpu , and get 20x more compute than nvidia .
Very interesting perspective. I appreciate you sharing that with me.
Nah... some outliers may go that route, but it won't significantly spike the price. They'll go for 4080 models before AMD. For now, AI and other ML models are really the only advantage nVidia has in the consumer market, hardware wise, if you take away their past market and mindshare.
Where I'm from, the price difference is at least $300 between 7900 XT vs 7900 XTX.
The price cut on Rx 7900 xt is just too late. Right now, I am looking forward to RDNA4.
I understand the dilemma for sure. I mentioned that in my final thoughts section. New GPUs are about a year or less away. So I get people wanting to wait it out.
Rdna4 is only mid range and Nov or December launch is too far away , we don't even know if it's gonna be any good .
You mean RNDA5
no...RDNA 4 is next gen. @@ZackSNetwork
I think at $700 it's a definite strong contender in the current landscape. I would only consider a 4070ti Super over it TBH.
I understand.
Sapphire 7900 GRE is good?
A totally different card.
Not sure. I haven’t tried it.
Someone on Amazon fucked up and listed a Saphire pulse 7900xt for $530 yesterday, nabbed one and now the price is already back up to $700
If it was a 3rd party seller be careful, could be scam. Been happening lately on Amazon
If it’s legit, that’s a great deal!
I have a rx 7800 xt. I thought about selling it and getting a rx 7900 xtx
Is that 82c on the gpu your core temp? or the hot spot temp bro? lol
You're worrying me.
What part of the video? Timestamp?
@@ErockOnTech Woops, wrong video.
Wonder how This happened? lol
Too much weed my brother. I gotta go get my fries and fish.
I'm hungry bro.
@@TheRandomDude-qy1ev lol 😂 oh wow that’s a new one! Thanks for sharing!
I have one since launch. Aftermarket massive cooler (the same one they use on the XTX). It runs too hot and too noisy. I hate it. Driver problems. I regret buying it.
I'm sorry to hear that. My launch day reference model XTX wasn't the greatest either. But I can say this reference model XT was perfectly fine for me.
The 7900xt is highly underrated. It's only beat by 4080 and up.
I agree! Well said!
It matches with the 4070ti Super and loses bad in raytracing and upscaling to it.
@@ZackSNetwork Neither of those things are true. I've seen it with my own eyes. RT/PT at capacity cripples every GPU but the 4090, which is severely hamstrung itself.
It beats the horribly named GPU you mentioned at rasterization, which is y'know, the point of a GPU.
Upscaling is subjective. A matter of preference. Some facts though; DLSS is only available to nVidia users, on a scale of generation card owned. Ridiculous. FSR in any iteration is open source and available to any card supported.
As the old parlance goes, your argument is invalid. 😂
I got a Sapphire Pulse 7900xt from Amazon for $669 but I have seen the 7900xt at $630 and even $599 at Micro center but most people are not near a Micro center. I can game at 4k depending on the game examples of 1440p games are Alan Wake 2/Robocop.
Oh wow that’s a fantastic price. Yeah 4K really depends on the game you’re playing and the settings used.
I have the overclock settings on AMD adrenaline software 500 min FREQUENCY 3000 MAX FREQUENCY at 1030 mV voltage. My temps are very cool my memory junction temp is 82c and hotspot 82c max game dependent, I play rpg, open world and horror games.
I bought rx 7900 xt last year when i felt Nnvidia fool me with rtx 3080 10 gb so i was so mad for that reason and when 4000 series dropped for high prices it made me feel even more mad towards Nvidia so no more Nvidia brand for me
You’re not alone on this mindset. Many gamers made the same decision. Nvidia is still doing well in the market for sure. But they did upset a lot of their customers.
sadly, in the EU they are around 200 dollars more expensive :/
Oh man that’s a bummer! I’m sorry to hear that!
I don't know why you're trying to push the narrative of the 7900 XT being mostly a 1440p card.
This card literally plays the most every game that I've played at 4K ultra even with no upscaling at 70 to 100 FPS.
How is that naughty 4K card 🤣🤣🤣
And when upscaling comes into play it absolutely is. I see no reason to think that this card is not a 4K card. Even the 490 can barely play cyberpunk at 4K native.
This card is absolutely a 4K card. Of course it's better at 14:40p, every card will be.
Well I said it was an entry level 4K card or a high refresh 1440p card. And I said that because it is in my opinion. I guess it depends on what you mean by “4K.” I don’t count upscaling. As stated in the video, upscaling at 4K lowers the resolution to 1440p or lower, based on your settings, and then re-renders back up to 4K. It’s not real 4K. It’s not native. FSR quality is native 1440p upscaled to 4K. To me that doesn’t make it a 4K card. Speaking natively, yes some games it does very well in at 4K. But other games it barely hits 60 fps. Plus we have the XTX which is truly a 4K card. So are you saying both the XT and the XTX are 4K cards?
@@ErockOnTech I think there will always be variables as to what can reach 60+ I'd say overall the 79xt is a 4k card. Every game it plays at 60+ outside of Nvidia sponsored titles focusing around Ray tracing. And at that point, it's a feature set issue.
XTX is deff more of a 4k card tho, but 79xt is certainly one id label a 4k card too. I get your reasoning however.
In fact how well it playd at 4k is most surprising to me.
I just bought an AMD 7900 XT sealed for 620€, waiting for it to arrive and replace my 6950 XT paired with a 7800X3D
This shit is not on sale where i live. It’s still $800 while Nvidia 4070 times super cost the same
Where do you live?
Rtx4070 is over 30% slower than rx7900xt , it's not even comparison, why you bring up garbage overpriced junk from Nvidia , it got only 12gb Vram , if it's same price than what's your issue calling amd GPU shit , dumbo
@@ErockOnTech Hong Kong
Me playing at 1440p on a 6600xt bahaha
Depends what fps u play and how much HZ u have in your Monitor the gap beetween 100hz to 160hz to 240hz and 480hz is so massive.
Yeah fair point.
Then theres me running hell divers 2 at 250fps 1440p 7900xt 0-0
What settings are you using?
@@ErockOnTech i was actually wrong, 130ish I think? Checking via amd software (it says average is 250 though). I have the HYPR-RX enabled gpu wise, and for in game I have everything on max, besides render distance which is in high
(I’ll update you once in game as I didn’t know about it live updating me)
Edit: so in game it’s about 96-100 1440p I can see, my bad entirely! Still a great card though :)
@@Koki-qe7vzlol no worries but that is funny. Thanks for letting me know
>300W power consumption is crazy high.
Not at this tier. Similar cards from Nvidia also hit over 300w. At this tier this is fairly common. You can always undervolt the card or power limit it.
Even my 7900xtx nitro+ (can suck up to 474W) is at 280-300W max without losing performance @ 50C° max temp. oc+ undervolted.
Pretty sure any 7900XT can get similar results, prolly around 200W.
It was more meant as a general comment.
