mine was quiet. The one thing I did notice is the cooler wasn't attached very good. I put washers mine then water cooled it.

The RX 7900 GRE as of 20/03/2024 - Not such a flawed product?

Sold out?
It was out of stock, now the listing is totally gone. Might not be able to get anymore of that particular card.

New drivers unlock memory. Testing now cyberpunk 73fps stock 78fps max oc before and currently at 2450 memory hitting 81fps.

AMD 24.3.1 Drivers Unlock RX 7900 GRE Memory OC Limits, Additional Performance Boost Tested
Without making much noise, AMD lifted the memory overclocking limits of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics card with its latest Adrenalin 24.3.1 WHQL drivers, TechPowerUp found. The changelog is a bit vague and states "The maximum memory tuning limit may be incorrectly reported on AMD Radeon RX...

This would bring the GRE within 5% performance of a stock 7900xtAMD 24.3.1 Drivers Unlock RX 7900 GRE Memory OC Limits, Additional Performance Boost Tested

Yup, it's the choice in its bracket atm for sure.

Shame the reference one no longer available as that’s the only one I like the look of.
Aye, the sapphire nitro takes second place in the looks department but it's £600 from anywhere that has stock. Too much.

4k with HDR and medium ray tracing with FSR at Balanced with some reshade sharpening and other stuff etc.
Settings are I think the hardware unboxed tweaked ones - mainly high.

I've changed the title of the thread, as expected, it looks like clocking it above the RX 7800 XT boost and memory clocks yields some impressive results (I think 14.9% performance boost is probably at the upper end of what can be achieved or expected).
We still need to see a proper full review, but the overclocked 3D Mark scores are probably indicative.
Interesting that they can override the clock limits implemented in the VBIOS.
I'm in no doubt now that this GPU will exceed the 7800 XT in every title now, when overclocked sufficiently.
But at stock clocks, I think the card is starved for memory bandwidth.
Presumably you'll want a GRE with decent cooling...

Yep some good results there. I have a 7900 XT pulse and was getting 12% - 15% actual game performance increase through undervolting and tweaking. Though I ended up undervolting and going for lower power consumption at just over stock performance. The 7900 series are genuinely good GPUs at the new reduced prices.

Pleased I got my Nitro for £569 now. Really is a cracking card.
Just out of interest. I don't really want to overclock the card however I feel I should probably give the memory a bit of a boost given it was hamstrung to start with, what are stock 7800XT memory clocks ?

2438 Mhz. Which should result in memory bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s.
Spec here:
AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Specs
AMD Navi 32, 2430 MHz, 3840 Cores, 240 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 16384 MB GDDR6, 2438 MHz, 256 bit
A 2600 Mhz overclock would result in memory bandwidth of 665.6 GB/s.
As far as I can tell, the achievable memory clock depends on the type of memory chips installed on the card, people have been reporting mixed results.
Some cards have memory chips rated for 20 Gbps, presumably some will be 18 Gbps.
RX 7900 XT's are equipped with 20 Gbps memory chips, with a wider memory bus.
EDIT - Looking at the circuit board analysis section for each GRE review on Techpowerup, all the cards they reviewed had 20 Gbps memory chips.
In theory, that should mean they are capable of running at 2500 Mhz.
The only difference I notice, is that the IC chips (for GPU and memory voltage) are rated for 50A on some cards (instead of 70A). Like on the Steel Legend:

Ok thanks, My Nitro seems to be Hynix with the board having IC chips rated at 70A so I have conservatively set the memory to 2400MHz and will see how it fairs. Thanks for the info.2438 Mhz. Which should result in memory bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s.
