My Asus only goes to 380w so maybe thats why your score is higher.

I was also undervolted way more than what you had too.
I can undervolt more .900 -.945. The power was just max slider, I think Sapphires Nitro+ is 400W max. I think there is more in this card but I havent had time to test fully yet, hopefully over xmas I can do some more. The card seems good coming from an 4080FE in my old system. AMD have come along way since my old 5700XT.
 
What PSU is everyone running? Looking to upgrade my EVGA 850GQ as it’s getting old now and I can put it in a lower wattage build. I need two CPU cables for my motherboard and 3 for the 7900XTX but quite a few options only have 4 CPU/PCIE outputs. The NZXT C1200, ThermalRight GF3 and be quiet dark power 1200 are some examples with this. I have my eyes on a CoolerMaster MWE 1250 and I’m just waiting for it to go back to its Black Friday price. I imagine this problem is rather unique to the 7900XTX, as along with the 3090 it’s the only GPU requiring 3x8 pcie cables.

Corsair 1000W. Wanted some future overhead. Would probably go higher next time.

I'm running a Corsair RM1000x. My 12700K and 7900 XTX system uses about 500-550w at full load so is in that 50% sweet spot for efficiency.
 
I really can't tell the difference with RT on. I think it's just a way to sell new Nvidia GPUs tbh.

:D
 
I'm on the verge of getting a XTX to upgrade my 3080. I can't see anything from the new gen beating it on price to performance (sub-£800).

Am I completely nuts?

AMD's highest end RDNA4 appears to be like a 7900 GRE with less memory and slightly better RT so getting a 7900XTX isn't something I'd classify as nuts. We likely won't have a successor to the 7900XTX from AMD until 2027.

If Nvidia release something similar for the same price, I'd consider it... But I really can't see it. I can see the 5070ti being a competitor but it'll be well north of £800.
 
What's happening in 2027?

We'll likely have RDNA4 for 2 years as is the normal life cycle of these cards, 2027 is likely when we'll see AMD's successor to RDNA4.

I wouldn't expect anything from Nvidia's 5000 series at a sane price.

I don't think so. Especially not if you can find one at a good price used - I paid £560 for an MSI card earlier this year and the uplift is noticeable coming from a 6900 XT.

You might get a 5070 or something around the £8-900 mark, but it won't have 24GB of VRAM.
