Still rocking a Radeon VII. Am I the only one?

[Hades]

In hindsight I probably should have sold this when they were going for £1k on eaby. But I'm still running a Radeon VII. I don't play many games but it still works fine for me. Am I the last bastion of the Radeon VII on OcUK or is anyone else still running one?

P.S. It may not be competitive anymore but visually it still looks one of the best GPU's ever.

Pretty things. While not a blower, it is definitely an honorary member of this scene https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...wer-style-graphics-cards-attractive.18994576/

I always wanted one but the massive cost, poor performance and reliability concerns.

Sold mine in '21 when they were going for stupid money.

I'll always stand up for the VII. It was a very decent card (I experienced very few issues), I found it performed on par with a 2080 generally (better as you scaled up in resolution/IQ). For what it was, it was actually reasonably priced if you got one at launch. Aesthetically, it was fantastic.

I used mine until 2023. Underrated cards. They still have higher memory bandwidth that any gaming card you can buy today.

Same, there was just something cool about these cards.

Vii was a nice looking card....but the cooler performance was utter keek. With a triple fan setup you'd expect it to be reasonably quiet but it was anything but that. Brought back memories of the 7990, which was touted by the press and AMD as being quiet, yet the retail versions were for the most part like vacuum cleaners.

I would have loved to have owned one. They're something to behold.
