I woudn't... 7900xtx was near to spanking the 4090 on somethings and has displayport2.1 making it already more of a future proof purchase for future display...... 4090 is just an overpriced brick for enthusiasts with more money to throw out then sense.... maybe next team green bank will have something out that is actually worth over £1500

Honestly I'm not super worried about the DisplayPort 2.1 issue. My monitor is only DisplayPort 1.4a so I don't see me needing anything higher for a while. By the time displays are using DisplayPort 2.1 I'm not sure this card will be able to do 240 fps at 4K anyway.

I'm probably going to go with a 4090 because there's no stock of the AMD cards.

The point is its a pretty high priced card that I'd want to be using for a few years as my main... without DP2.1 I'm compromised on any new 4k high refresh rate display upgrade... it's one of the biggest reasons I have for ignoring the 4090 with its absurd price.

7900xtx may still be an upgrade I look at in the future if AMD fix power consumption on idle and driver/bugs etc... looks like they don't even have the stock even if people would pay these over inflated prices.

Ao I will just wait.. in no rush to fund this madness.

My 4K 144Hz monitor will probably last me longer than this generation of GPU, based on how long monitors usually last me.

Backplates look kinda gimmicky, though the red one with the light bleeding through doesn't look bad.

well from the colour scheme and shape, it looks a bit different to the usual layout at least

Review of the best cooled and highest power limit 7900xtx on the market, the Saphire Nitro+

500w power draw limit and +8% performance after overclocking versus the stock reference card

Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ review

The NITRO+ RX 7900 XTX is a high-performance graphics card with a beautiful, minimalist design, excellent cooling, and a solid power delivery system.... Overclocking

+150w for 8% doesnt do a lot for me, running cooler and quieter tho

The Nitro looks amazing but it sure pulls a lot of power. Efficiency seems to have gone out the window.

I mean, if you run it at lower power it might actually be a hair more efficient than reference due to running cooler

I don't think G3D undervolt because TPU got different results.

Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ Review - Maxing out 3x 8-Pin

The Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ comes with the largest factory overclock of all Navi 31 cards that we've tested so far. Sapphire was also very generous with their power limits. During overclocking, with increased limits we were able to max out the 525 W power delivery capability of the 3x...

Not quite as good as the TUF but that could just be your usual chip to chip variance.

was hoping it would squeeze more performance out of it uses way too much power anyway, temps as expected with that big slab of metal

Oof, that power limit. I got 16-18% performance improvement out of the MBA card limited to 335W.

I'd like to think I can get 25%+ out of this one. It's on my radar, nice price please @Gibbo when available.

tenchi84 · 15 Dec 2022 at 20:54

any one had any crashs yet. im constantly getting junction temps at around 80+ and crash with the drivers ?

@CAT-THE-FIFTH Another one for the list. It is their creator review. Strong showing by RDNA 3 handily winning in some software.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT & Radeon RX 7900 XTX Creator Review

AMD has just launched its newest top-end Radeons - the RDNA3-based RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX - and for creators, there's a lot to be intrigued by. That includes the fact that AMD is delivering the least-expensive 24GB GPU we've seen to date. In this article, we'll explore performance of both...

Good analysis, pitty AMD doesn't want to provide any details to validate their claims, the data from reviewers doesn't hold, AMD lied and Franky Azor is making a fool of himself on Twitter
