The Radeon RX 7900 XT(X) Owners Thread.

Found a game that actually uses all the vram on my 7900xtx. Space marine 2. If you like blood and guts this is your game. Afterburner was reporting 22.3GB used 23.6 allocated. Texture pack was 90GB extra on top of the 70GB game. Frankly I was sold on chain swords. :p
 
After waying up everything I just bought a Powercolor Hellhound 7900XTX for £821. I know it's a two year old card but seemed to make sense to me. Can't justify the extra £400 for a AIB 5080. Since my card seems to overclock pretty well (29640 in timespy) and the extra Vram (24GB against 16gb) I'm hoping I made the right call. No idea when you will physically be able to realistically get your hands on a 5080 anyway. For pure raster it performs up there with he 4080 super i believe and is OK with ray tracing (not a deal breaker to me).

Good luck to all those trying to get a 5000 series card.
 
Bought a 7900 XTX in Dec for £760, managed to overclock the boost by around 10%, given some reviews are showing about a 10% diff on the 5080 compared to the XTX I'm happy with that price to performance for 1440p, I haven't seen a game that has taken the full lot except for Tarkov, I want to say I haven't seen above 14-18gb in other games and that isn't the norm to be above 16 really.

I bet AMD are kicking themselves for deciding not to release a high-end product for this gen. They could have simply rebranded the 7900 XTX as the 8900 XTX and competed exactly the same as they did last gen. Looks like this thread is going to have long life anyway.

Agreed, they could have just matured the design somewhat, added FSR4. Winner. They probably were expecting the 50 series cards to be stronger than they actually are!

Yep spot on. It does make me wonder if they had just used RDNA 3.5 cores in the same configuration what sort of bump in performance they would have got.

Got to say I'm also very happy with my 7900xtx and glad I opted for it as it looks like it'll have me covered at 1440p UW for a while! Don't play many games with RT so doesn't bother me about it's lacking performance in that realm.

A good choice grabbing one these days and overclocking it a bit to get longer lasting performance if needed. My Sapphire Pulse should take a bit of OC'ing at some point if needed but I haven't done anything for now.
