XFX Radeon RX 7900 GRE Merc - The best value for money GPU in SA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 дек 2024
- XFX's Radeon graphics cards are often the best bang for buck AMD GPUs in SA par none. However the XFX 7900 GRE as sold by @WootwareComputers makes a fantastic offering that's impossible to beat right now in SA. At R12,999 you'll not find a faster GPU and as is, represents the most obvious choice for those looking for a GPU upgrade.
Add FSR3.1 that's coming soon with AMD Frame Generation and we have a GPU that should last years on end.
The memory OC is impressive and brings plenty additional performance to the otherwise bandwidth starved GPU.
If you're in the market, this is the most obvious place to start.

Also from South Africa, thinking of getting this too
It's a no brainer at that price. I'm definitely considering it
I just got one on a flash sale for £381 in the UK as an upgrade for my 5700XT.. Over the moon!
Hope it's treating you well thus far.
Flash sale from where mate?! e/ I needs to keep a look out
@@oddy3340 It was on Amazon. But the seller decided not to honour the sale and didn't send me the card.. let the order expire and then refund my money. I was furious and let trustpilot and the seller reviews know about the scummy practice. Since then I bought another one for a 'normal' price from eBuyer UK which had it's own problems..
What were your overclock settings? What were all the various changes you made in the Radeon software?
Just memory slider increase as shown in the video in the default Radeon adrenaline software suite.
@@TheOverclockerMagazine so 2700Mhz?
2700MHz is not common, I'd say even rare, but all can do 2600MHz. Doubt if the extra 100MHz would make such a huge difference
only a heads up, because the merc models of the 7900XT and XTX suffer from thermal paste pump out, some revisions supposedly fixed that problem, but in the xfx forums they are still decently prevalent, so in case they haven't fixed that problem, expect having to repaste the gpu in around 4-6 months after purchase, maybe more since it uses less power than it's bigger brothers
Thanks for the info. Hopefully this GRE doesn't suffer from that.
How about hotspot temps? I have one XFX and getting same temps like 60-62c, but my hotspot reaches 84c. I asked xfx suport, they said that i may change paste.
84 is fine. Can't remember at the top. Of my head what it was, but I do know that AMD says upto 110'C I believe is still safe.
Just bought a 7900gre for my girls pc, paired with a 5600x that thing is a freaking beast, smashes EVERYTHING in 2560x1440p, paid 570usd/euros for it. Best gpu on the market for the money.
Altough, my 4070ti zotac amp extreme with a 10900k, beats her in 9 out of 10 games tested in 2560x1440p, tho in most wins we are talking about mostly 5-10fps in most games, and when you already have 90-100+fps that doesnt really matter, and then being 150-250usd cheaper msrp than the 4070ti just makes the 7900gre absolute insane.
you basically get 4070super performance for 100-200 bucks less than a 4070super, and 16gb vram. We are very happy with the buy and i think her 5600x will hold this card for atleast 3-4 years before we decide we need to change anything. Has no problem pushing the 7900gre to 99% usage in most games.
Good stuff. Can't argue the value of such a GPU. The system you put together for family is awesome, can't imagine any game in the next 3 years not being able to reach 60FPS 1440P at high detail levels.
7900GRE really was slept on
Boss card for a boss price
I really want this card so badly for my first pc!
For the price, this is really awesome and should be even lower today
@@TheOverclockerMagazine the price has gone down by a bit! At my local store, there is this exact XFX card for $550

got the XFX 7800XT Merc. Great cards, but still feel it could be lacking a bit
That's interesting. How is it lacking according to you? Lighting, Heatsink design, lack of XFX software or what?
@@TheOverclockerMagazine i think it is the Amd drivers that are not consistent. It took 3 months after getting the card to finally have a stable driver. Amd need to look into microstutter and shader cache as i see a lot of people complain about those issues on the forums. In all my next GPU will be a Xfx again. This is my 3rd card. Went from 6600xt to 6750xt and now 7800xt. All XfX Merc
@@TheOverclockerMagazine i think it is the drivers . Not the card. Took over 3 months for me to have a stable system with drivers. AMD need to look at some stuff like micro stutter and shader cache limits maybe increasing in the drivers
Lekker boet! I'm about to buy this or or 4070ti
Hmmm I'd say go with the 4070Ti if you are able to pick between the two depending on your games. That Ray Tracing achilles of the RDNA GPUs is a bit much, and DLSS simply has more room to grow it seems than FSR. And you can use FSR Frame Gen on Nvidia GPUs as well
Is the xfx model quiet and good for over locking?
Overclocking yes, at least the memory. Also very silent
Nice to see memory oc results. I’m curios if this card is better in oc or faster than the 7900 nirto plus. I saw your timespy score 24.9k i saw on 3d mark 26k plus. Wondering which card they use
Driver differences, OS differences etc. Lots could lead to score variations. However, they may have used a model with a higher OC out the box.
Do you guys in SA have good experiences with AMD?
Yes we do, just like in any other county
Anyone here used the xfx speedster and can report good memory oc performance/no thermal paste issues? It's on special in Aus at the moment
I've used other models of the speedstar not the 7900GRE however I'd assume XFX would be using the same memory IC's. As for the thermal paste issues, I didn't come across any buy I can't speak to all the models.
Is it RGB?
Nope. No RGB anywhere
dont think the Hitman test was fair as RT was on and we all know RTX would be better with that on
Fair enough, that said RT is only going to become more relevant and necessary for games. So worth checking out still. Hopefully FSR3.1 and FG help RDNA here
You sound like such a robot ... It's like they wrote the script for you
7900 GRE is a pretty good priced GPU but just dishout the small bit extra for 4070ti
4070Ti in SA is a lot more than GRE about $300 more
GPU review with 0 information about noise level? Or at least the fan speed so we can estimate it? Unacceptable tbh
Wasn't an issue for me so didn't think to record it. Was quiet enough to not be a factor, however clearly others such as yourself care. I'll see about including in future.
Who cares about noise level 😂 just put your headphones and game on 🤦🏽♂️.
@@jhendra83 I don't use headphones.
Almost as if there are hundreds of reviews already online lol. It's the top-rated 7900 gre for a reason.
@@thelonercoder5816 top rated by whom?
It's still not as good a price as before the crypto mining boom.
The 7900, GRE didn't exist before the Crypto mining boom, so not sure what you mean exactly.
@@TheOverclockerMagazine An example, before the mining boom, RX 5700 XT MSRP was $399. RX 6700 MSRP was $479. That's a 20% increase just because the mining boom created a shortage and the manufacturers thought they can milk their customers. Now demand has dropped off, people are still waiting for prices to drop to affordable prices. Current prices aren't "the norm", they are still overpriced because of the mining boom in 2021.
It's also because of inflation. Accounting for 5% inflation for two years, it's about the same price
@@williamstriker2299 Prices will get better soon. Nobody will be buying any tech because there will be new CPU and GPU releases and people will hold off until then.
