    I bought my 7900 XT about a year ago. I am playing games at 1440p. Yes, it was a bit pricy, about 1100 dollars (bought in Sweden). At the same time i sold my 6700 XT and got 400 dollars for that. I defenitely think that the 7900 XT will last me for many years to come. I am very happy with its performance!

    It's good to see this card is still doing well. IDK what AMD was thinking with their original MSRP but it's about time the price became reasonable for consumers. I ended up getting a 6900 XT in a similar fashion when the prices came down and I am very happy with my card. I imagine anyone who shopped like I did and are now looking at a 7900 XT as a prospective new GPU for 1440p will be very happy and have a solid 3-4 years of use.

Also, the quick and easy auto OC was nice to see, and I certainly understand not including a manual OC as that will vary for each card and can take a lot of time to dial in max stable settings... and of course you will aways have some negative Joe out there having to bad-mouth your settings lol - again, great info and presentation - excellently well done!!!

    Man I love my AMD reference 7900xt. Bought it day 1 and no regrets and I find it doesn't look ridiculous (sleek and feels well built). People say its not a 4k card but man this card looks good using my LG C1 at 4k with a little upscaling if needed. Cyberpunk with mainly high settings i'm getting around 100- 110fps (capped) using FSR quality. Good enough for me!

    Great review. I think this card makes a lot of sense in 2024 at it's current price. Especially if it needs to last 2+ generations. A month back, I purchased an XFX RX 7900 XT for a new 7800X3D based build. Paid $725, no regrets whatsoever. It's a good match for my 1440P, 34" curved ultra wide. So far great performance with ultra settings on Helldivers 2, Enshrouded, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn amongst others.

    hmm, did you notice the temps on the auto overlcock performance, they were way lower then the normal run. I have the sapphire pulse 7900xt and it rocks games at 1440p, rarely ramps up the fans which it a good think as I have it in very small all vent case right next to my monitor. Love the card, will have to try the auto overclock to see if I get the same results.

    • @ErockOnTech
      @ErockOnTech  9 месяцев назад +1

      I think the auto overclock also changes the fan curve. Also, undervolting these cards are part of the overclocking process as odd as that sounds. But that also leads to lower temps.

    Don't know where this channel has been hiding all my life but I subbed immediately. I'm ALL for that native raw power gaming without gimmicks. Thank you for these tests. Very high quality videos.
    As a side note, in the future the RT might be baked in the games in a way you can't disable it. I think there's already games like that. So it's slowly forced upon us. That's why I kinda want to wait for 8000 series but I don't think there will be any 20GB 320 bit cards coming up... While 16GB and 256 bit is still enough (rumored 8800 XT), I kinda wanna get the 7900 XT 😁

    Finally someone that focuses on RAW FPS. I love watching a lot of tech channels but I HATE when they justify going nvidia because of DLSS....IMO dlss is for older cards that cant provide raster performance anymore and it should be viewed as a tool to help older cards survive longer. All NEW cards should be more than capable of providing great raster performance. I have tested so many GPUs these past 2 years. I should have done tech videos LOL I never use upscaling

    • @ErockOnTech

      I’d say save the money and get the XT. As for latency, I’d say no you probably won’t notice it. But AMD has its own version of Reflex called Anti Lag. You can try that. Worse case scenario, you can always return the AMD card and get the Nvidia card. But I think it’s worth trying the
      AMD card for a bit to save the money.

    It's a really solid 1440 card, you can even have RT on high at a comfortable above 60fps in some games without any upscaling. Also overclockes very well above what you can overclock any of the 40 series Nvidia cards. Only downside is the price tho models often go on sale.

    best thing about about this card is turning the setting down to high setting at 4k. you get a big jump in performance because you dont hit a bandwidth limit. 800gbs thats more than the 4070ti 504gbs and the 4080. nvidia uses the faster GDDR6X but cripples it with the bus so it slower than the older GDDR6

    Had a 7900xt since last year now, got in on sale for 600€ im very happy with it.
    Dont overclock those cards like you would with nvidia cards or older amd models.
    Small things go a long way, undervolting is the way, 1070mV (you might get it lower), oc the memory to 2650mhz (you might get 2700), and set the power limit to +15%
    Undervolting and +15% power lest the core clock boost so much higher than what you would reach with a normal oc, from my experience at least and i tried normal oc before so undervolting it the way to go on 7000 series amd.
    From that i gained about 20-30% more fps in most games, yea its gonna draw about 400w on full load but only for games like dying light 2 @1440p or benchmarks so i just play games like that in cold months xD

    I think this card is much more future proof than many people consider right now. It has 20 GB vram and even more cores for Raytracing than Nvidias 4070 Ti super. My guess is, that Nvidia just has a better or bigger software dev team, which could invest more time in the programming than AMD was able so far. And even though RT is a nice thing to have, it is not that important right now. But the time will come, for sure.

    I just got a XFX RX 7900 XTX black card via "instant sale"(5 minute limit) and a $50 coupon for $763 with tax on Amazon. //edit// fat fingered the price, corrected it. //
    The RNA3 took a bit of learning to OC and Under Volt, because the "under volt" isn't "normal". They do some "unusual" load balancing stuff, you really need HWinfo64 to see it.
    But I'm running it at 350-ish watts now at 2600 core limit with hundreds of FPS at 1080p in all games and tests. At 2800 core it jumps to 386-ish watts and only gains 15-20 fps.
    I can move up the frequencies to about 3083(3080 no issues solid) before it craps out. However, that bumps wattage to 467-ish watts. Not AT ALL Worth the fps game for normal use.
    I run the memory at 2724 with normal timings, for all settings. I admit, that's a bit of "silicon lottery" due to chips I got, but 2680-2700 seems "normal" on these, in most cases.

From where I sit, DLSS had to be developed because ray tracing eats up one's performance, and Nvidia needed a way to keep selling RT to people who crave FPS. Kind of a "take this pink pill because it controls the nausea you get from the yellow pill" scenario. Given the yellow pill isn't making my life better, I'd rather just stop taking the yellow pill and then have no need for the pink pill.

      Ok you disagree. Cool. Buy it and use it at 4K if that’s what you want. I did back it up. I showed 4K benchmarks. But it depends on what you want in 4K gaming. To me, 4K 60 isn’t really a 4K card. Look at Starfield. Starfield is an AMD sponsored title and yet at 4K, the 7900 XT only gets about 65 fps or so. Again, that’s in the video. Anyway, PC gaming is great because you are not locked down. You can game however you want. Which is truly a beautiful thing. So go for it!
