finally got the nitro+ xtx in and just had a quick play. mem@2750 fast timing, mv@1050, max freq@3000, min freq@500, power +15 and this is what it gave me in timespy
max gpu clock was 2961 and mem was 2736. really like the card as build quality is awesome and the amd adrenaline software is nice and clean and easy to use compared to the gayforce nv software

I have the alphacool nitro+ block fitted to mine. It's easy to fitHas any one been brave enough to fit the Alphacool Waterblock to the Nitro+ yet? I want to integrate it into the loop but not seen any disassembly videos.

Looks like a decent result. Was the power limit at +15%? The delta between temps look decent. What did you see as the max for GPU and Hot spot temps?

Here's my Sapphire Pulse 7900XT (non-X) for comparison @ same mem@2750, gpu@3000, mv@1050, +15 settings. I am TDP limited to just 365W, so it actually boosts just below 2800 within 3DMark. Games can boost up to ~2980, however I guess 3DMark really hogs the power. Your XTX's extra shaders, rops, memory bandwidth and TDP pull a ~12.5% gap at identical settings.
My memory will do 2800, however setting it that high reduces the effective boost clocks (due to TDP limitation), and scores end up the same. My CPU is a 7950X running within eco-mode (105W). It gives slightly-reduced performance for massively-reduced TDP and temps.
I'll probably settle on 2900gpu/2750mem/1050mv/+15 for daily clocks. Card runs cool and quiet at these speeds.
Gotta love the Sapphire cards.
Edit: Here's the 3DMark Linky for anyone who wants to direct-compare.
Edit2: Just noticed I recorded the Worlds-Highest score for a 7900XT + 7950X combo with the run below. I wasn't expecting that. I guess there's not many of us...

Yeah power was +15, GPU was 42-43 and hot spot was mid 60s
I guess you should never settle for narrowly-beating a (7900 XT + 7950X) world-record when you can smash it.
Smashed the 29K Graphics score. Up >900pts over next-best system.
Busted the 27K combined-score.
*Sapphire Pulse 7900 XT @ 3000gpu, 2775mem, 1025mv, +15PL
*Ryzen 7950X with 32GB G.Skill Z5 6000 EXPO CL30 @ 6200MHz 30-38-38-38
*Budget Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX mobo
*All living within little Meshify C case.
**Special thanks to LtMatt and Scott C who sold me the 7950X and 7900 XT on the OcUK MM.

Disable SMT on Timespy standard and your CPU score will be even higher too, 3DMark benches don't work properly on AMD CPUs.I guess you should never settle for narrowly-beating a (7900 XT + 7950X) world-record when you can smash it.

Yeah same, I'm going to knock it back a bit for 24/7 ocGreat result there.

@LtMatt - Quick question... I'm confused about the BIOS switch positions, there are 3 settings on the XT but what mode is it currently set to at default. The switch is currently in default out of the box position, far left towards the display ports?
Caporegime
Default is the ability to switch BIOS in Windows using Trixxx software. So the out of the box experience will default to the performance BIOS with a power limit at 0%. It'll be around 404W. +15% will be around 467W. Power saving BIOS is somewhere around 384W from memory at 0% power limit.

Thanks for that, do you know all 3 positions as it's not labelled clearly on the card as I'm not sure what mode it's currently in?
Caporegime
Yes, I just explained them to you above I thought but maybe wasn't clear enough.
Position 1 is default, (furthest left) allows switch between BIOS in Trixxx (the one you should use always)
Position 2 (middle) is performance BIOS only
Position 3 (furthest right) is quiet BIOS only.
There is a small chance I have 2 and 3 the wrong way around so you'd have to confirm yourself.
Regardless, there's no need to change it just use the default position (furthest left).
EDIT The power limits i mentioned refer to the XTX Nitro too not the XT which I think you have.

Wasn't quite as clear but now it's perfectly explained, I'll leave it in default. Cheers Matt!
I'm still edging toward a 7900XT upgrade... but not sure I want to go all the way to the Nitro+, even if it is the best. Particularly since I don't have a glass side panel to see the RGB!
The card being quiet is more important to me than wringing the most performance out of it, so... any views on how loud the various non Nitro+ cards get?

Could always opt for the Pulse?
