One of the best things about the Sapphire card is the RGB will work with any MB, would be nice if all manufacturers made their GPU’s RGB work with any MB without having to install their software.

[@BloodhoundNax]

No joke, it's the most beautiful graphic card I've ever seen, the craftsmenship is nutty (I'm also bias because I own one). Good Video thank you.

[@Mnorbert25]

I absolutely happy with the decision for Sapphire !

[@JordanK]

It's been a great card so far

[@cjpp78ytube]

NIce purchase! This is the card I wanted but couldn't find it in stock. Ended up with the Red Devil 7900xtx , also a pretty nice thic boy

[@JordanK]

I was actually going to get the red devil. Guy at micro center told me they had one of these in stock as well and after looking worked better for what I needed. Those 2 HDMI ports are huge for what I do. Also the color matched the PC better lol

[@newt6639]

Great looking setup. I just picked up that same Sapphire card.

[@JordanK]

Heck yeah!!!! Such a great card!

[@cryptojohnny7781]

Looks good , it will run just fine on a 750 . I have the Red Devil running on a 750 just fine and OC'd

Nice review, how has been your experience with this 7900xtx? Thinking about updating my 3070 to this exact one from Sapphire

I’m finally watching the video LOL

[@JordanK]

Better late than never

[@StarSodaSips]

I think your power supply still had power in it because your cables were storing power and psu's have transisors can sometimes can hold power and turn it into a power bank.

[@d0sk3y]

LOL transistors don't hold power, capacitors do. Nice try though.

[@Analytical_Thinking]

What about productivity? How do you edit video on this card? DaVinci Resolve performance?

[@JordanK]

Resolve doesn't let you render videos using the GPU accelerator unless you pay for it. That being said I've seen a few numbers in other videos where this card absolutely crushes my 2070 I was using. That's totally expected though

[@ronaldmcdo5516]

Damn, that gpu tho.

[@JordanK]

It's a beast

[@Murder302]

Hi. What power consumption on desktop? I see you have 2 monitors) Do you have any problems? Can't choouse - this GPU or 4080.

[@JordanK]

I actually have 4 displays hooked up to it and I've never had a problem. If you want raw performance this is the way to go. 4080 will win in ray tracing, but that's about it

[@Murder302]

​@@JordanK Roger that. So 7900xtd or 4090) But nvidia seems to have better performance with DLSS/FSR without using RT (+ few years of using. Or not:) )

[@nicolashallaert5565]

Does it need te extra fan and rgb header to work or can u control the rgb via the pcie slot ... bcouse my mobo 3 and 4 pins are al occupied

[@JordanK]

Controls through software. You can hook it up to your MB header if you want to control through whatever RGB software your MB has (Aura, mystic lighting, ect), but Sapphire has their own program you can use to control everything

[@P_Five65]

what are you going to do the that rtx 2070 then?

[@JordanK]

It's in the streaming PC

[@yourworstfive]

i wanted to see u install the bracket... thing was a absurd nightmare to screw in

[@JordanK]

You think so? I actually found it to be easier than most other brackets I've installed. A few of them are absolutely nightmares (Asrock 7900xtx taichi)

[@henry4907]

Wait was the GPU sagging at all when you screws weren't in?

[@JordanK]

Yeah it was a bit. Problem is fixed with the screws and bracket it comes with

[@NulJern]

How is the card doing? I have 2060 gaming laptop, just bought the same card as you because i found a good price, so guess i need to build a pc now, for the first time lol.

[@JordanK]

So far I'm LOVING it. I only play in 1440p and not thr 4k this card is meant for, but it's completely maxed out every single game I've put on and hasn't struggled once. It's an absolute beast

Apologies for promoting but im excited lmao.

[@cjpp78ytube]

This card would be a competitor to the RTX 4080

[@kurupuk7]

I'm about to purchase this beast of a card. But I'm still wondering if this card can still power on to my 750w PSU. Running low on budget to get a new 850w PSU🤣

[@JordanK]

Depending on the CPU you could pull it off. The 750w would be cutting it CLOSE

[@AlbertoFeoli]

Im running mine on a Seasonic 750 psu no issues at all

[@JordanK]

Good to have some headroom though. Card draws 400 watts of power on it's own when under full load. Pair that with a CPU, RGB, drives, fans, aio pump, and anything else that draws any amount of power and you're going to be close.

[@AlbertoFeoli]

@@JordanK But 750w still relative fine. I'm planning upgrading psu next month to 1000w

[@sajithsaji3606]

Bro i have a doubt Is there any difference in image quality comparing amd and Nvidia or both r same?

[@JordanK]

What exactly are you doubting? Both AMD and Nvidia would look exactly the same at the same settings.

[@terrynichols3852]

Do all 4 ports enabled for 4 similtanous monitors at the same time?

Sure do! Works great

[@CaptainMcShotgun41]

Man only thing separating me from this card is money.

[@Grouchy_Hermit]

does this improve the gaming skill or just the visuals?

[@JordanK]

Nothing can help my skill

[@warmachine6988]

Is this specific card better gaming performance wise than a msi rtx 3080 gaming x trio 10gb , because I want to upgrade from the msi to this one, is it worth it?

[@JordanK]

It will be better, but the 3080 is a solid card. I wouldn't upgrade unless you REALLY want a new card.

[@warmachine6988]

If you were to guess how much % better would the amd card be performance wise, because i cant run games like re4 remastered at max settings since it uses over 12gb vram, would the amd run a game like that at max at around 100fps atleast? If so I'd be happy

[@JordanK]

You're gonna have to look up benchmarks and see how it performs. I don't have a 3080 to test anything

Was the 850watt enough for this card?

I never ran into issues with it, but I did switch it out for a 1300w after a few weeks. 850 just felt like I was cutting it a little close. I also wanted that PSU back in the streaming rig

[@goatherdgaming2286]

I’m getting this card anyone know which motherboard and cpu I should get/use?

Well that all depends on your cash flow. For example, I have the Sapphire 7900 XTX Pulse. And it's running on a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, MSI B650 Tomahawk Mainboard with 32GB of DDR5 G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Ram. That should keep me gaming for a few years before having to upgrade parts again.

[@testtube173]

4k is such a marketing gimmick. Its one thing to play at 4k native but with all these frame gen and ai upscaling techniques its such a bad joke to even push for 4k. I bought this card and am in 1440p heaven right now. Demolishes every game at max settings well above 240 fps.

[@JordanK]

4k is definitely worth the upgrade. Recently got a 4k monitor and it looks so much better than 1440p. Also now with frame gen and upscaling I can play games in 4k ultra and still get over 144 fps. It works so well

[@TheNerdGasm]

@@JordanK I downgraded from a 4K 60Hz gaming monitor to a 180HZ 1440p gaming monitor. I've now witnessed the fluidness (is that a word?) that higher refresh rates brings to the gaming experience. So I definitely wouldn't go back to a 4K 60Hz monitor. And if you're wanting to game in 4K then get ready to pay for it. 1, the cost of going above 60Hz to a 4K 120 HZ monitor and 2. you'll have to start messing about with graphic settings to reach a decent frame rate for the 4K 120 Hz monitor. It's just not worth the hassle, imo . I'm sticking with 1440p monitor.

[@fluttzkrieg4392]

@TheNerdGasm Yup. I have a 1440p 144hz ultrawide and I don't feel like getting a 4k one even as I own the card in the video. This beast runs everything at native res and max settings at the monitor's max refresh rate. Modded games with extremely heavy graphical mods are a joke now. I do wish it was an IPS monitor though, but it was out of my budget. Though the colors in this monitor still manage to look fantastic.

I also have upgraded my PSU from a 750w to a 1300w. All of this in anticipation of upgrading my GPU and now I am at the point where i can but i haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger. This is the exact card I have had my eyes on but I keep talking myself out of it then back to it. Power consumption and overheating are little things that are in the back of my mind that are keeping me at bay. I don't overclock and I have a very similar case setup as you do... just a bit bigger case. My first rtx 3060ti had artifacts after 2hrs of use and I still have nightmares from that return process. Anyways Please Sell me on this Card! Tell me I just need to bite the damn bullet and get the sapphire RX 7900xtx. personally if I can get all high settings on the resident evil games Ill be happy... especially RE2 remake, that's the one that keeps telling me 8gb of vram just isn't enough. thanks in advance!

​@@JordanK It's here! They wasted no time sending it to me. I have it installed now and my computer did not explode so it's a win-win so far. Gonna pick your brain a little about it. For your PCIe cables did you give all 3 8 pin slots their own dedicated cable to the PSU or did you have to use a daisy chain? My PSU only gave me 2 PCIe cables so I have one that has it's own and the other two I had to use the daisy from one. I might have to order another depending on how good or bad it is to do that.

[@Brioshi87]

Further research on my end I have come to the conclusion that its more beneficial and safer to use separate cables for each 8 pin slot so I have ordered more and will play it safe until they arrive. So far I have tested it out on some of my more demanding games and I can safely say that It beats the hell out of my old 3060ti this things a beast! Defiantly glad I went ahead and got it.

[@roscoecoe3504]

Bought the same card. I replaced my 6900xt Red Devil. The Nitro+ runs hotter & is much louder than my Red Devil. AMD has problems with idle power & multi-monitor support. Connect 2 or more monitors & idle power draw was around 100-140 watts. GPU vram would stay maxed out. Couldn't play VR with the new 7900xtx. Driver's are terrible with VR. Returned the Nitro+ & bought the 4090. All my problems were solved. AMD needs to allocate more funds to their driver dept. I'll stick with Nvidia for now.

I'm hoping to see improvements in drivers as well. I've noticed a few quirks, but I also have never had an AMD card. Just wanted something that wasn't Nvidia this time around
