The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

[Quixote]

Didn't realise the prices had gone up since I bought mine, I bought my XTX at £899 which I don't think was even the lowest its been on here? Now it's £960! So yeah I take it back, I'd go XT if I were buying now, or wait till after the new year for any more price drops?

Prices have sadly regressed. I paid £930 for my XTX Pulse, which I thought was 'Acceptable'. I think they were down to £899 just before that. I'm sure the 7900XT's were as low as £700 for a bit, too.
Cards are looking poor value again. If I weren't in a rush, I'd probably hold on in the hope that better exchange rates could bring them down again. No garantees though - they might get even worse.

Agree, prices have gone back up ready for Black Friday, I'm looking to buy a 7800X3D and a motherboard on Black Friday to finish my sons Christmas/birthday PC.

I bought my XTX the week it came out and I was after a specific XTX, I also bought a £700 XT. Their was £500 difference in price between them and I got a copy of Starfield with the XT

I paid £1100 for my Pulse. I don’t regret it at all. The thing is a beast.

It's not that they're bad value it's just they have to put the prices up so they can pretend we're getting a good deal on black Friday

Hoping to pickup a 7900 xtx when the Black Friday deals are on to replace my 2080ti. Can't believe how powerful the 2080ti felt when I got it but then, I can believe it was nearly 5 years ago! Where does time go!?

Your going to see a big jump, I went from a evga 1080 hybrid to my sapphire nitro 7900xtx and it was a huge jump, my frames literally jumped to a extra 100fps in the games I play.

Yeh I just can't get my head around how impressive these cards are or how much the 2080ti has dropped off! haha

Probably the MBA for looks or the Sapphire Nitro for looks and performance.

Nitro.

Nitro all day long.

Nitro all day long.

Any reason the mba doesn’t get much love? (It’s got rgb too!)

 

[Meddling-Monk]

Nitro.

Whilst I won't say the Nitro is the best, I will say from using it here, that I have actually undervolted it (from 1150mv defaults) to 1090mv and also set the Power Limit to -10, with a 3100 Core and 2714 (2700) Fast Memory setting.

A very sturdy card (bracket and huge heatsink) capable of going fast if you want to heavily overclock it and have cooling go all out, or go ultra silent if you reduce it's power settings and let the heatsink soak it and dissipate it from GPU fans (even better if your case fans are silent and moving lots of air too).

Any reason the mba doesn’t get much love? (It’s got rgb too!)

From what I understand, they're great too. But they don't have anything remotely like what the Nitro has if you want to go silent, heavy on power, or anywhere in between. If you just want the GPU, it's perfectly fine to get also.

Can you even buy the MBA cards now? I thought pretty much all the MBA 7900XTX's got recalled with hotspot issues and never saw the light of day again.

The first few batches of the MBA 7900xtx had a vapour chamber problem. To be fair AMD owned the problem but the damage was done. The cooler is not as good as the nitro.

AMD themselves sometimes.

 

[henry hoov3r]

Could always go for the Pulse if you wanted to save a few bob. I use one but i do regret not buying the Nitro.

But AMD don't sell direct in the UK.... or has that changed?
