No issues so far. I prefer the AMD UI for their drivers. And no need to install third party software to tweak the GPU. I game at 3440 x 1440

You found the 4090 too much?

I’ve just tried mine on stock 1100mv- it hit 3ghz! Not sure sure how much performance I gained however.

The XT and XTX cards are power limited in most scenarios at maximum GPU utilisation. Therefore, you typically gain more performance by the following in order of importance:
1. Maxing out the power limit
2. Lowering the core voltage (assuming stability is retained)
3. Ensuring the GPU and other components are as cool as possible
The GPU will draw more power the higher the resolution. This will mean that you can typically expect a higher core clock at 1080P Vs 2160P.

RDR2 on ultra settings is what makes my card draw the most juice. It pulls 400 odd watts,but it looks so pretty I don’t care

Thanks will try out your recommendations.

I think its great. I don’t notice any coil whine it’s quite possibly there but ive never noticed any. I could probably try something like CSGO with the sound off and see if produces any.
Good to know. Thank you.
the asrock is £975 and the pulse £900, not sure the fancy rgb and extra clocks are worth 75 quid.

The Tuf at £959 is probably the one to get at the moment.
The think most people respect Sapphire over Asus for AMD cards?

Matt rated the Tuf and he’s probably tried most of the range. But you can’t go wrong with either to be honest.

Most of my recent gpus have all been Sapphire, 6950, 7950, fury x and 5700xt. Never had an issue with them, infact I still have my 7950.
Good to know. They seem to be the premium AMD brand.

Yes, I really like the TUF and dare I say it, I prefer it over the Nitro+. I will admit though that overall the Nitro is the better out of the two, but not by much.
The TUF cooler is so big, it's bigger than the 4090 TUF OC I have here. Don't believe me? See for yourself...
The Sapphire cooler performance is slightly better than the TUF out of the box. However, the TUF heatsink is larger and despite not having a vapour chamber, with higher fan speeds it is possible to have it out performing the Nitro cooler.
I've had a few of each, put liquid metal on both, and drew my conclusions on the above from that. Both are the pick of the XTX cards for me, and I've tried them all bar the Asrock XTX cards.

Guys , just recieved by Sapphire Pulse 7900XTX - Do i need all 3X 8PIN PCIE connectors to power this up or is 2 ok ? I have three if need be .

It will work with two i used a daisy chain for a month or so with the same model. But if you have 3 i would definitely use them.
