£480 on OCUK for the Sapphire, £530 for the Hellhound though, so £467 isn't THAT much cheaper generally.
I always though PowerColor cards weren't the best but seems I might have been wrong? They just look (IMO) a bit rubbish, and yes, I do own a PowerColor card right now so I'm allowed to say that

First one I had was a 7970, then a 5700XT and now a 6950XT. All have performed well and the build quality has got better to the point I think my 6950XT is a very good quality card. The best fit and finish I've seen was my 3060Ti FE.£480 on OCUK for the Sapphire, £530 for the Hellhound though, so £467 isn't THAT much cheaper generally.

Thank you
Time Spy there is quite a difference. +17% to me, Port Royal they are so close to identical (0.2%) you could say they are the same card on different runs
OC i got to 21,358 in Time Spy, so now 27% to me.

Port Royal on post #11 i got 11,523, so 9% to me.
So far...
I hope you don't mind me saying i don't regret not sticking with Nvidia, for the first time in 9 years with AMD. So far so good, i like the card and drivers, its all behaving well.

Yeah i don't stand a hope in hells chance against a 7900 XT
The card comes with 20GB/s Samsung Memory IC's running at 19.5Gb/s, they are stable at 21Gb/s and no more, (2625 in the settings) its about 670 GB/s of bandwidth.
Crashed Valley at 21.2Gb/s immediately.

Looks like a nice card, if they'd launched it sooner I'd have gone for that over the 6950XT.
It is a nice card yes, tho if i wasn't so tight i would have gone for the Nitro+ at £50 more, not that i regret getting the Pulse, its better than i expected it to be, i'm quite warm to the idea that Sapphire are AMD's EVGA, but more, as a bonus they offer what are still good quality card's right at the lowest price point, i like that.
I hope its because Sapphire understand the value in reputation of that and continue down that line far in to the future from now, if they do i'll make Sapphire my go to.
Its a little surprising how quick the RX 7800 XT is, its as quick as the 6950XT and with a decent amount of overclocking headroom, well its no HD 7950 but at least by todays standards, which ok isn't saying much sadly but....
This has 3940 Shaders.
The 6950XT has 5120 shaders, 33% more.

Where's the 7800XT make up for the shaders, clock speed?
Maybe, stock it run around 2450Mhz, What's the 6950XT?
Base clock 1860MHz, game clock 2226 MHz and boost clock 2435 MHz. Memory clock is 2250MHz 18 Gbps effective.

Decent scores. My base timespy score on 5800x with 7900xt is 21250 with 25950 Graphics score. I can improve that a good bit with overclocking but won't reach Tommy's xtx. Really love the Pulse cooler on this card as it's quiet while pushing a lot of wattage in comparison to my old Vega 64. Both had coolers of similar size but the Red Devil cooler was no where near as quiet. Perhaps it needed a paste change after 6 years of service but temps were still low 70's.
So its 200Mhz, or 7% lower.

Looking at my results again and noticed my 583D's not boosting for some reason so I'll have to get back to you when I get to the bottom of that and retest.Thank you
Very nice glad you're enjoying your card. I tested my nitro at 1080p extreme & stock result was 10576. I tried you're OC settings & only scored 10960, max boost I saw was about 2825. I'm still using a PCIE3 system (B350/5600) so perhaps that's a factor.
