I actually disagree with what most KZbinrs are saying about the coolers. I rather have it be a little over built to keep it cool and quiet while gaming. But that's just my take.

Where I live, you can’t find a 4080 for less than 1350. I was able to purchase a 7900xtx for 999 on AMDs website. Just be prepared to refresh the website around 9:55 to 10:05 am EST. That’s when they restock. You have about a 30 second Window before they are sold out.

[@misterbrickest]

A note on OVERCLOCKING: It takes a lot of effort to dial in the overclocking on high end cards nowadays. You have to undervolt the GPU to stretch out the efficiency curve while slowly bring up the Minimum AND Maximum clocks on AMD GPUs, with trial and error. I had like 2-3% over on my RX 6800 before I started using undervolting, putting in the time and was able eventually to get 8%-11% consistently. I think this is why we are getting different reports on the ASUS TUF 7900XTX OC reviews. Techpowerup seemed to emphasize the undervolt as a necessary part of the overclocking potential, therefore they had good results.

[@gunturbayu6779]

Agreed. GN did a good video on OC'ing RDNA2 a while ago. I used their settings as a starting point for my XFX Merc Black 6900XT, and I get sustained 2560mhz in-game and a nice performance bump. With AMD cards, you have to find the sweet spot for min max clocks, they can't be far apart, only a few hundred megahertz, and leave the VRAM alone and undervolt.

[@metodejtuma4253]

Thank you for that video! I have 1440p and 165 Hz monitor with 1KW PSU and ryzen 7900x. RT doesn't really matters to me, so I deffinitly go for radeon rx 7900 xtx :)

[@marine6680]

RDNA cards actually gain performance from undervolting. Increase power limit, bump up the gpu and memory clocks a bit, then start lowering the voltage. The card will start to maintain its boost frequencies for longer, as it isn’t bumping against the power limit as much. Apparently people are seeing 10%+ gains of actual in game FPS. Depending on the specific game of course. Benchmarks don’t show much of an improvement at all though.

Stock lasted 20mins on the OCUK site, not really a case of luck at all, I refreshed the page every couple of mins and watched all stock drop off, but decided to not be spontaneous, waiting to see the partner card reviews come in first, being I build SFF I wanted the biggest cooler for the physical size that will fit my case, unlike the reference card which will always run hotter (as shown in the XTX reviews that dropped on the day), which aren't as well suited to SFF temps wise (as I'm finding with my 3080TI FE).

If GPU developers use more heat pipes and brought the radiator fins closer together they could make a smaller and more compact GPU with cool thermals. As a CPU cooler the Noctua NH-U12A does exactly this and is Noctua's most heat efficient cooler. You are better off with more fins than longer fins, unless you make the significantly longer, but then you are left with something overly bulky and not well put together.

[@andyreichert499]

I just ordered an MSI 4080 after way too much struggle and back and forth. It largely game down to availability. Going up to a 4090 would have also required a new PSU, so beyond being impossible to find, the cost difference was a bit more for me than most. I was planning on a 7900 XTX with 3 8 pin power adapters, but couldn't find one. The rest of the parts are sitting on a table ready to go together, and I didn't want to spend time indefinitely trying to find a card online, or driving for 5 hours to hope for luck at a microcenter. So early next week I get to finally put a new PC together, and I'm looking forward to it.

[@ErrrorWayz]

You wont be disappointed it'd a better card than the XTX. Shame you couldn't got full 4090. Insane card

[@dtrjones]

I have a 4090 and it's not as much as first communicated, it used less power than the 3090 Ti. If you have a machine running a 3080 curretly I.e. anything 800 watts and over then you do not need a new PSU to run a 4090.

[@andyreichert499]

@@dtrjones I'm upgrading from an 8 year old PC with a 980. It caught a nasty case if the bluescreens this spring, and not wanting to play crazy prices for GPUs I tried everything I could to fix it including replacing the PSU. I figured I'd get a new PSU when I built a new machine with the new power connector, but the one I got this spring will support a 4080 so that PSU and some fans are going into the new build. It only has 3 8 pin PCIe cables which is enough for an XTX or 4080,. but not the 4 that the 4090 wants. Even still, I'd pop for the new PSU if I could just buy a 4090. But I want a functioning PC again before break, and I don't want to spend an hour per day indefinitely trying to find a 4090 at MSRP.

I got a TUF 4080 OC a couple weeks ago. Yes it's expensive but I sold my 3070Ti for 1/2 the price of the 4080 so the upgrade cost wasn't that bad in my case not to mention availability, good thing the 4080 doesn't sell that well it's relatively easy to find one. If I had to buy the 4080 outright without having sold my other GPU I might have highly considered the 7900XTX, it's too expensive on it's own. I've been using Nvidia cards for over 10 years so I feel more "at home" with Nvidia but this new 7900XTX is no slouch either, you can't go wrong with either card and I'm glad AMD can stick it to Nvidia, competition is always good for us in the end. I'm really happy in the end with my 4080, kinda won at silicon lottery as well, it OCs very nicely almost at 3.1Ghz and my PC holds 1st place in 3dmark Timespy for a 9900k/4080 setup but I don't run it at that speed for everyday tasks/gaming.

One of the other Tech YTers I follow called it, he was afraid that AIB's would be lazy and use the same or similar coolers they made for the nVIDIA cards and just modify them for the AMD cards. I will not buy any of these because they are unnecessarily huge and will be over priced because of the over designed cooler they are using. I would buy an actual AMD model if I was buying one.

WHY FSR 1.0 IF 2.1 CAN USE IN CP2077?

[@nxte3901]

Anybody who knows a lot about AMD GPU's. do the work capabilities of AMD cards compare well with the Nvidia equivalent? Even without the CUDA cores in AMD, does AMD still work well in a non-gaming environment. Also, a lot of games that I play support DLSS but not FSR. Can playing games without FSR on a 7900xtx compare to playing games on an Nvidia card with DLSS on? Thanks!

[@mixoner5686]

I keep getting "update graphics driver" crash midgame when I play Valorant. I tried everthing on the internet and even reached out to the Valorant support team multiple times but it still crashes. Could you please help me fix that or let me know if i just need a new pc. My PC is only 2 years old and I bought a new GPU cos of the crash but it still continued. Got softwares like Driver Easy and Restoro but the crash still continues. My PC is clean and dust free and the specs are good as well so I really have no idea what the problem is. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me in this case. P.S. watching u build a PC makes me want to build another one.

[@martygenska8117]

I really do like these reviews on graphics cards because I'm pretty close to pulling all things together to start my build. My question is, have you ever considered getting an Nvidia card directly from Nvidia? They actually seem to have the best price; especially when it comes to the 3090ti and 4080.

[@slavefeet57]

I recently tried to get one directly from ASUS and it was a nightmare lmao. Hopefully NVIDIA isn't as bad. (I had 5 orders get cancelled on me during processing) I eventually decided to go through Amazon/Newegg. Got super lucky and found the OC TUF 7900xtx at retail being sold by Amazon!!!

I bought my 4070 FE directly from Nvidia. I have to confess though that lately I've been using an AMD GPU and I'm very happy with it. Really thinking seriously about picking up the 7900XTX because it seems to be beating the 4080 in a lot of benchmarks.

The majority of games i play are from 2008-14 so don't use ray tracing. I also do a spot of VR sim racing, would the AMD card be a better shout then? I'm going to be getting more memory and 13th gen 7 series k (if that helps with the answer)...

[@aidansedore5182]

Do you think 32gb ddr4 3600mhz and 5900x is good enough for 4k with the 7900xtx? Or is the extra 650$ worth it for the 7700x and ddr5 6200mhz and new motherboard

[@f-22raptor25]

Yeah should be fine. Monitor refresh rate and types of games you play matters also, but performance increase for $700 is not worth it

[@gageboy14]

I lost my Tuf 4090 OC to a glass of water. Couldn’t afford another 4090 so I got the Tuf 7900xtx because of the 384 bit bus. Need a card to power my Reverb G2. Tried the 4070 ti, lol! 192 memory bus was a joke trying to run Assetto Corsa through my Reverb G2. Hoping for the best.

[@dragonld123]

Those benchmark results try to compare Reference 4080 with AIB 7900xtx or Reference 4080 vs Reference 7900xtx? It would be nice to see Benchmarks of RoG Strix 4080 vs TUF 7900xtx.

[@gohca88]

should i pair the amd rx7900xtx with intel or amd cpu? purely for gaming. which gives better performance?

[@natalyiatimoshenkova1273]

Purely for gaming, it's largely moot. At this moment, if you've got an AM4 motherboard, get the 5800X3D and drop it in. If not? Get the better bargain. 13th gen Intel outperforms Zen4 in pure multithreaded workloads. Downside is that's the end of the line for the Intel socket. Next year the X3D versions of Zen4 will arrive, which will (again, for gaming) likely stomp all over 13th gen. If you can wait three-six months? Probably worth doing.

[@earthtaurus5515]

As much I'm miffed about how the AMD launch event went, objectively speaking it's not entirely surprising either given Nvidia and Intel engage in such practises as well (if I was to be all emotional about it... I'd never be upgrade from the second hand RX590 and my family members will miss out of future opportunities).. I will be getting the 7900 XTX albeit on a monthly payment plan. So, if it does turn out that there is a hardware flaw and it would require RDNA 3+ to fix then the 7900 XTX would be going back. As ultimately, the 7900 XTX will be going into the AM4 based PC i've built for my sibling. As the in socket upgrades from the 5600X in terms of cores is more than enough to last for years and so the only upgrades needed would be a a monitor from 1080p to 1440p / 4k. With dp 2.1 there is alot more flexibility there too. Then there is the option of handing down the AM4 rig to another family member with RX480 / RX590 and I'll just hand my newly built 7950X AM5 rig down (crosshair x670e motherboard and cpu bought on monthly plan - thinking several years ahead) a few years down the line to my sibling 🤷🏽‍♂and with the upgradeability of AM5, it will last a good long while - maybe a decade or more.

[@thecwwshow8036]

Can I have an up to date on your situation

[@earthtaurus5515]

@@thecwwshow8036 Sure, running on a RX6750XT now. As was due to build a PC a for another family member with a RX6750XT about 3 months back. He changed his mind and as I bought the GPU in December it was just under MSRP. As prices went up, I decided to use the GPU instead of letting it gather dust. The RX590 has gone to my sibling. Given what I now know about what's coming down the pipe in terms games etc. I'm skipping RDNA3 for me personally and will be getting a RDNA4 GPU. The RX6750XT will be going to my sibling. Depending on the career path it may be left as at that or upgraded to a second hand 5950X and a second hand 7900XTX . If the latter happens, the 5600+RX6750XT will be joining the RX480 and RX590+2700X into builds and handed down to family members or given to a local charity.

[@Bunderwahl]

If you just play games, nothing else, and if you just want speed without the best visual effects, and if you are planning to buy another graphics card in two to three years the 7900 might save you a few dollars. If you want to use your computer for productivity and creative purposes, if you want to enjoy the most immersive atmosphere (raytracing and DLSS), if you do not want to have to upgrade later because more and more titles come out with raytracing (some possibly required) then you might want to shell out a few more dollars/pounds now.

[@gusaaaa]

I got a 7900XTX in the hope that they will make up some of the gap on RT with driver updates/FSR 3 and also because Jensen was just too greedy with the 4080. I don't know whether anyone else is having driver timeout crashes playing The Witcher with RT on but hopefully it will all get sorted out soon.

[@Nat-yf6ff]

Idk man, buying a GPU in the hopes of unreleased features and driver updates is so low The cost per frame of the 4080 and 7900xtx are extremely similar, the extra 20% for Nvidia is easily justified for the better RT and DLSS without the rest of the advantages Both horrible value imo

[@anuzahyder7185]

Bro first of all fsr is not good enuf. Im expecting fsr frame gen to be not that good either n we dont even know when it’s going to come out. The rt performance is also meh. Everyone is having stuttering in witcher unless u have 4080 n 4090. I didnt encounter any crash on my 4090 but i have heard 3000 se n 6000 se users having such issues. So it’s mostly due to cdpr. But i dont think u can even turn rt on in witcher with that card. I think if 7900xtx didnt release the card, nvidia wud have been forced to drop the price. But after amds release ppl are going in numbers to buy the 4080.

[@Thomasdk1405]

Not sure what cpu used here or sam enabled or not but stutter is cpu / gpu communication. Dx12 works like this it saves shaders on your c drive in documents folder ! Also amd wise their drivers is not as user friendly as nvidia. You need to disable ULPS ! You need to make custom setting under performance section. Raise min. clock from 500 mhz to 200-300 mhz below your max clock so range is like 2200 - 2500 eg. Otherwise you can risk that it throttles to 500 mhz and then up again and that will 100 % give stutter ! I have 6900 xt and zero stutter in bf 2042 - smooth as butter !

[@SonicDestiny]

These massive coolers are actually incredible important and very useful since they are able to cool gpu so much ,it is able to stay completely silent even under crazy demanding load compare to previous generation also have No idea why people are so obssesed with cramming such powerful cards and letting them fry in such tiny cases.

[@Borsecann]

Because a mid-tower should be the default in which an average gpu should fit ? I like my full-tower cases as much as the next e-peen-flexing nerd but I can see why not everyone would want one, need one..and god forbid you ever have to move one.

[@forog1]

There are definitely needs for big coolers, but companies should consider making smaller coolers as well. If they just simply did that there would be no complaints, like we can still have the full-sized ASUS STRIX but on the side have an ASUS STRIX slim edition. Looks would be the same and can do the same for the TUF and other brands. I think all would be happy then. You get the fat modals if you're into OCing no compromise setups right before water cooling and get the slims for small cases or if they simply just want to run them at stock and be done with the build.

[@SonicDestiny]

@@Borsecann these kind of people with mid size cases should then stay looking for average older gpus cos these high end gpu are clearly not designed for them

[@SonicDestiny]

@@forog1 they could but then slimmer versions wold be then much more hotter and louder if they would be forced to do same performance with limited cooling without OC.These with small cases should stick with older gpu and don`t try to fry these high end gpus in them. If they have so muych money to waste on 4080 ,buying new case wouldnýt be that much problem.

[@Borsecann]

@@SonicDestiny You do realize that a mid-tower does not have anything to do with a mid range case right ? Size and quality are 2 separate things. And these gpus not being designed for what most peope use is the entire issue discussed.
