After watching your review I was thinking about buying this GPU. However a friend was traveling to the US and the XFX SPEEDSTER MERC310 Radeon RX 7900 XTX was selling for 1049 USD on Newegg, so I grabbed the chance and bought it. Looking forward to getting my hands on it and testing it.

[@GreenTurts]

just picked up the taichi for 1100 on newegg! can't wait to get that in. i saw it originally at 1200 and agreed, but at 1100 when you have the red devil at 1070 or so, i thought this was a pretty fair deal while also avoiding any vapor chamber issues

[@tenkayruanaya2554]

how is the jugtion temnperature ,. ?

[@diebanane4239]

I'd be really interested in the performance gap to the other AsRock card: The 7900 xtx Phantom Gaming. It is also oc compared to the reference model, but cheaper than the Taichi.

[@TwistedMetalJerky]

Yeah id be interested in a review comparison of the top 7900 xtx cards, also the better 7900 xtx performance with a 12900k pairing 1440p gaming

[@spencercrump9241]

I believe the phantom has 2x8 pins instead of the 3x8 that the Taichi has which will drop the performance. The Taichi can use 500W with an increased PL under load. Each PCIe PSU cable can support 175W each which is 350W which is a pretty big difference in power consumption which can affect performance. How much performance depends on how efficient RDNA3 chips at handling the extra power.

[@diebanane4239]

@@spencercrump9241 seems like the other answer i wrote got deleted because of the link, but according to asrock on their own website, the phantom gaming also has 3x8 power. It is definitely the card I have planned to use currently, but im really sceptical of the low "thickness" (57mm) compared to other cards. A decent OC but not that large of the cooler should lead to pretty "high" (maybe mid-80s) temps combined with this power intake

I got a 6950XT Red Devil shortly after the 4090 release. When I saw the price / performance ratio on the new nvidia cards I was fairly certain that AMD would not have a lot of room to move up or down either ... and that turned out to be true. I'm gonna stick with this card for a while, best scenario this whole system (5800X3D, 32GB 3200 CL14, X470 Taichi Ultimate) stays just the way it is and in a few years I'll build my first RT machine.

[@seylaw]

While I also thought along this line, I tested a 6900XT for 700 EUR for a week. But I did return it as it wasn't worth the price in my eyes for my use cases, the newer cards offer even worse value. So unless a company offers some noticeable improvements in that metric and which I care about the most, I will skip this generation alltogether. And Nvidia doesn't seem to care about value at all, so Navi 32/33 are the only chips worth a look later this year.

[@Aremisalive]

And it's not like the 6950xt can't do ray tracing. It totally can, just stick to lighter titles for it. My 6950XT absolutely crushes Doom Eternal with ray tracing on.

[@w0ody16]

Yeah I am waiting on those X3D versions as I feel like they will be insane for gaming. And the mobo+ RAM prices should go down later, too. For GPU 4070ti is too much to justify, but 7900XTX is looking good despite the whole GPU market being trash.

[@hectorvivis3651]

Nice review! It seems impossible to find in France at the moment, sadly (well, it's not even like I truly have the money for it at the moment anyway). Sadly we don't see it on your testbench! Does the backplate is RGB-controlled, and can you change the color ? I'm curious because I have an all-black and blue LED for my rig that I deeply like, and I find it difficult to find a replacement for my Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+ that would integrate as nicely (I'm quite sad Sapphire, my decade+ old supplier of great graphic cards, went for either metal or grey with hard red for their newest cards) Before being crucified by you guys on being concerned by looks, my PC will be the centerpiece of my room, a love letter to my passion and hobby, so I'd like it for my guests to have that little "wow" when they see it.

[@nal_er]

Love your work! Will you please do an in-depth review on the ProArt Z790-CREATOR WIFI board for professionals? Is it stable with 128 Gigs of RAM as the 13900k has stability issues at 128 Gigs of RAM; does this board's new ram control tech solve this issue? Many serious VFX professionals and motion designers need 128 GIGs of ram, especially for After Effects. Example: Can we get stability on 128 gigs of ram if we lower the speed and turn off some of the silly over clock marketing ram features that make 0.0000001% speed difference in real world professional usage? Thank you! YOU SIR, ROCK!

[@iziigan_6782]

Thanks for the video, if you had to do ranks about 5 bests 7900XTX custom, what would it be please ? i need someone with knowledge to help me in my future gpu

[@Frontline38]

Another important note is that the Referenz sadly only has 2x 8 pin. It seems to be too limiting compared to the customs with 3 x 8 pins. So... for watercooling, we are better off waiting for customs and watercoolers for those.

[@JS-be8ll]

I'm ranked in the top 10 of the synthetic benchmarks on a reference xtx. Increasing the draw beyond 400w makes little difference. The reference pulls up to 400w

[@Altrop]

Yeah there's a serious difference between the premium models with three 8-pin connectors and better cooling vs the models with two 8-pin connectors, lower power limit and lesser coolers. Even 7900XT cards are power limited by the 2-pin models! I bought the 7900XT 20GB Taichi, it has the exact same cooler as the Taichi XTX (awesome, overkill!) and even when overclocked to the brim drawing 400-405w it's obvious the card has more OC headroom but the power cap is the limiting factor. I got it stable at 1010Mv to squeeze the most out of it, since the only way to get higher clocks when you hit the hard power limit is by reducing the voltage. 1010mv is a great result compared to other models. The trick is to leave only a 100Mzh gap between min and max clocks, there's a long story behind this but it improves stability at lower voltages. With this overclock I outperform a stock 7900XTX. Above 400w the scaling of a 7900XT is bad though so it makes some sense. But for benchmarking, I wish I could have 50 watts more. :D

Can always trust Wendell to give a fair honest review ….. even with AsRock products.

Card was boosting to around 3050 mhz and was stable. However, AC Valhalla did not like going much over 2800 mhz so I capped it at 2850 and its purring like a new born kitten. Temps lower than stock, performance much better than stock, and card is relatively quiet. I have fan curve to max at 85% max and it doesn't go much over 75% while keeping this performance and temps.

Big Plus for the NOT Reference Design triple Power Header instead the Reference double Header, which is on the edge (without ANY headroom). But i am missing the most important information the efficiency under partial load. i have the impression that the AMDs under full load are using less power, but if delivering the same performance (e.g. Framecapped) at a load between 30% and 80% the nvidias are much more efficient (e.g. in my favourite game you are hunting not for the high but for the stable FPS and for high 1% Low and for mostly stable0,1% Low, depending on what part of the Map (2012-2023) the complexity is very different an therefore the demand to the GPU so a simple limitatation of load is misleading on the old parts of the map i have 70 to 90 Watt inthe newest parts im GPU bottlenecked at 280W, ofcourse a 7900 XTX at the top would deliver more performance at 330W but what would it deliver where my old 1080ti is enough with 70Wm would it than be very inefficient at 200+W or would it also be very efficient and only sipp below 50W. i always miss the information in the reviews about mediocre load. you do drive your car in the very rare moments at full load, you do not drive above 200 mph on the freeway but mostly limited between 55 an 80mph depending on the state.

Hey man, great videos. Another reviewer (STS) did a segment on 7900xtx vs 4080/4090 and compared it between a 7700x and 13700x CPUs. He found some very interesting data on having a 3080ti starting point and "upgrading" to one of the previously mentioned cards but on different CPUs. So far he's the only one I've seen that's done that and it seems incredibly significant. There seems to be significant gains by going with the latest AMD GPUs with recent AMD CPUs. Making it much more cost effective to achieve nearly the same performance if not more with an AMD on AMD platform vs AMD on Nvidia. I'd love to see you do a similar video to help provide an additional perspective.

I've had bad experiences with them in the past, but my recent experiences have been better. Small sample size, anecdotal, etc etc, but i was weary of them for a while due to a double motherboard RMA back in sandy bridge days.

[@Altrop]

Totally unwarranted imo, at least when it comes to their premium products. I've owned a 6800XT Tai Chi and a 7900XT 20GB Tai Chi now and both are amazing cards and overclocking beasts. The 7900XT Tai chi even comes with the exact same cooler as the XTX version which is total overkill (70c hotspot temps @ 400w overclock and only 50% fan speed), three power connectors and you can tell the power limit (400 watts) is the limiting factor in overclocking. If it could go 50 watts higher you'd be able to squeeze more out of it. But above 400w the 7900XT doesn't scale well so I kinda get it. *On top of that they are much cheaper than premium cards of other brands, and in some cases better. The Tai Chi cards are much cheaper and have better VRMs than for example Red Devils, and are on par with the Sapphire Nitro+ Vapor-X.* Idk about their motherboards but I can definitely recommend the Tai Chi GPUs. And in Europe they're actually only a tiny bit more expensive than the cheapest basic models, really good value. My 7900XT Tai Chi was only 30 euro more expensive than the cheapest basic reference design, total no-brainer.

I got the AMD reference 7900xtx and haven't had any issues. It cost me €1143. This Taichi is €1499 overhere. Also wouldn't fit my Meshify C. Happy with the reference card.

This card might not have the vapor chamber issue but it has the hot spot issue

[@johnterpack3940]

Performance is probably the primary concern. But a review that ignores temperature and noise isn't worth much. These lesser factors can make the difference. The Sapphire Nitro, for example, is both faster and cooler than the reference model. That helps justify its expense. Having these details for the Asrock would help some of us determine whether the added cost was worth it.
