Could be a faulty RGB bar by the sounds of it. However try flickering the BIOS switch and using Trixxx to see if you can adjust the RGB options in there. Might be RMA time though I'm afraid.

Have already tried to switch the bios switch to another position it did nothing, also the Trixxx software does not display the bios version.

No but you can change BIOS via software.

Looks like its RMA time.

I will have to try that after work.

I had the same issue:

Would only partially light before eventually it wouldn't light at all. I've run across others who had the same issue but one was able to resolve it by powering down fully:

This may work for you, although I had no such luck.

Have already contacted the seller and got a return label gonna return it today.

First time they've ever used an RGB bar like this. What a waste for that to be the failure point when the rest of the GPU probably works fine. I will say though, I really like the look of the RGB bars.

I was tempted to return for another card but the nitro is so damn gorgeous that I wouldn't be happy with another. The aib 4090s all look tacky too. Blech!
I hope sapphire don't give up on the design if it becomes a wider issue.

Agree. I have the 4090 Suprim too and it's a pretty card too with nice RGB, but the Nitro has the edge on looks for me out of them both.

Too early to say so, but finally just made the order for one from OCUK. Nitro 7900 XTX. So should have it in hand in a day or two to properly join the club.

You'll be the talk of the monastery now.

Hi, I have tried to sync my sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx card with my main board and it was flickering white, then I switched the header to the rgb controller from my pc case where it worked almost fine, 1/4th of the leds on the card did not light up no matter the effect, then I thought maybe a restart will help and after the restart the lighting was completely gone. I can’t turn it on in Tixxx software, fan check also fails. Tried to reinstall Adrenalin driver and the trixxx software but this did not solve the issue.
Did anyone have a similar problem where the rgb turned completely off?

Ps. I can still return the card today/tomorrow
Sry for bad English

What cpu do you have? I’ve recently gotten the nitro+ tho not installed it yet, currently have the 8700k in an asus maximus x hero but looking to go with the 7800x3d and looking at the same motherboard as you tho am tempted by the x670e model but not sure it’s worth the extra.

Hows is everyone dealing with the Coil whine? I recently got an Asus TUF 7900 XTX OC, and the coil whine is horribly I didn't expect this to happen this badly on the GPU.

I just got the Hellhound. I don't know if it's coil whine but it makes an annoying, definitely noticable buzzing sound in games

Get a rolled up newspaper or kitchen roll and listen to where exactly the sound is coming from. I’ve had a psu in the past that was really bad. Have you set a frame cap. My nitro plus makes quite a racket in menus with an fps of 1000. My monitor is 144 so I usually set it to 143 in the drivers.

Bah! Delayed by a day. By the worst situation to have happened. :mad:

But bit of a funny story in a way.

Just before the DPD guy arrived with my XTX, some religious nut had just reached our door first. We enquired who was at our door and they told us they wanted to spread the good word and speak to everyone on the street. We told "them" (the religious person) that we're not receiving guests and unavailable to speak to them due to waiting on other matters (the delivery). The DPD guy mistook it as we couldn't receive them either, and left without attempting to announce themselves as there for a different reason. Bah! :mad:

THANKS(!) Religious person, another reason to not like you guys popping up unannounced(!).

Done the tube thing, it's the card. I have vsync and frame caps on, I can see in Afterburner that my fps doesn't go above 144 at 1440p. I can hear the buzzing from 10 feet away. I've raised a return ticket as it's actively putting me off gaming

How much did you pay for the nitro+? I just noticed it’s been reduced by £30 since I bought it last week

@Gibbo can I get a refund?

I grabbed it on er, Monday afternoon? So I think it was £1148.99 or something like that.
