Sapphire AMD Deals

It’s funny people saying this gen AMD have poor efficiency. The 7900 XT is using the same power as my old 3080 and the 3080 was undervolted. It’s not just as efficient as my 4080 in RT but in raster it gives similar performance for only slightly more power use (about 15w).

Efficiency was never really Ampere's strong point though, what it did deliver was +30% gains over the previous gens best card something over a 4090 achieves this generation.
 
Pretty happy with my 7900XTX though I've only really used it in remnant II so far. Cant hear any coil whine but im getting on a bit now so possible I just can't hear it at all

My 7900 XTX TUF OC draws 23W less power at idle than my 4090 Suprim X. All system components are the same, I just swap the GPUs over. The 4090 is definitely more efficient under load though, however the system spends more time idle than under full load so it probably balances out in the end.

You have both!?

Your XTX draws 2 watts at idle???

It's what mine shows :)

Used to be the same as a 4090 pretty much (20ish) but they've refined the power since.
Might be something in the background causing your 4090 to run at higher idles? I'm pretty thorough in disabling everything that doesn't need to be turned on in Windows.

That's total system power draw measured at the wall with a wattmeter.

In terms of GPU Software/MSI AB metrics, 7W for the XTX and 37-38W for the Suprim X. That jumps up anywhere from 5-40 Watts on top of that 38W if you use the RTX video enhancement feature quality level 1-4 during video playback in a browser.

I was about to order Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT Pulse Gaming 12GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card but I've noticed there is no Starfield bundle added to it. Can anyone confirm if that comes with the bundle or for some reason it comes without it please?

According to this, I think it should be eligible. However get confirmation from the participating retailer. https://www.amd.com/en/gaming/featured-games/starfield.html

EDIT - Ignore, @MadMossy is correct. It's not included...

It's a bit strange as overclockers includes the bundle with Asus RX Radeon 6700 XT Dual 12GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card but not Sapphire. I might wait for %^^&& and see what they're going to offer or just buy Asus.

I'm also surprised that card is not included, I would just get the Asus card.

I would also remove the competitors name ;)
