Sapphire RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ Unboxing/Install With Benchmarks With Some Gameplay

[@XxViciousxX]

If anyone is curious how this GPU does in more games I have a playlist that I'm constantly adding to of me playing various games on this GPU. kzbin.info/aero/PLo9IH4e_1lM92zdUuZNp4qUi8XdbXXguB

[@cryptojohnny7781]

Sold my 4080 for a 7900XTX and I will never go back to Nvidia , this card is way better than my 4080 . I have the Red Devil.

[@XxViciousxX]

That is the other 7900XTX I was looking at another great GPU choice. Nvidia seems to be better at RT (which I don't like RT even on my 4090 as it kills your FPS too much) and DLSS is slightly better than FSR. So unless you want the most powerful GPU (RTX 4090) or have to have that RT turned on Nvidia seems to not really be worth the extra money at least in my opinion.

[@CodeCube-rv1rm]

⁠ There’s only a few scenarios where you really should choose the Nvidia: 1. You *must* have Ray Tracing 2. You need CUDA for AI/ML/Parallel workloads 3. You need Nvidia’s encoders for productivity work Otherwise, the Radeon is the way to go. It is a rasterization monster

How are you liking it?

[@RSHouseOfGaming]

Hey thanks for your feedback. I purchased this gpu last week and boi!! I love this card so much. It's a beast! quiet thick and heavy but cooling so top notch. The performance is really good in many games. I can't hear coil whine at all when gpu is 100% usage and fan speed is set to 80% the temps doest exceed 70 degree which is really good for me and it's really keeping it self cool down as compared to asrock 6900 xt phantom gaming which used to go 87 degree. I am glad I switched over to AMD from nvidia finally. The power usage is pretty high but that doesn't bother me so much. Thank you so much for this video.

[@XxViciousxX]

You're very welcome Glad this video helped you make a purchasing decision Now you grabbed a really great GPU.

[@Alex77-7]

Hey, nc video. Do you suggest this one with a Monitor dp 2.1 at 4k oled At this moment there are 2 only. Or 4090 with 1.4 dp and 1440p oled at this moment. I play competative games most but not only them .Thanks

[@Alex77-7]

Any suggestions? xd

[@XxViciousxX]

@@Alex77-7 If you play mostly competitive games I'd grab a 1440p 240hz OLED and a 7900 XTX and save a little money. But if you want the best of the best a 4090 and a 4k pannel is also a great way to go. My main PC is a 48in LG C1 120HZ OLED and its great for AAA single-player games and still good for competitive games (but I'm not the best so my setup might be crap to a decent player) but the 4090 is just a great GPU but damn is is pricey so hard to recommend unless you want the best. But it is limited I believe to 120-144hz at 4k due to the ports. I think the 7900XTX actually has newer ports on it so it can support higher refresh rates (which it can actually hit in competitive games). I also really like this all AMD PC (which now has a 7800X3D because why not) and it's smooth as hell in shooters and still kicks butt in AAA titles so long as you don't like RT or are okay with turning on some upscaling if you want RT (which usually needs to be done on the NVIDIA side too at least at 4K) Sorry I though I responded I guess I did not lol.

[@Alex77-7]

Man super thanks...I am so confused bcs I want either 7800x3d with 4090 or the 7900xtx. And come the new Monitors also that's why...A friend of mine told me go for 4090 ,bcs of performance bcs for him is pointless dp 2.1 ...but I dont know, u see a lot of ppl say that they w8ing the dp 2.1. And with 4090 I can't get it. But is it worth the dp 2.1 ?? Thanks

[@Alex77-7]

So at the end should i w8 for dp 2.1 or go for 4090? ? Certainly I go for oled 1440p or 4k I am not sure yet.

[@XxViciousxX]

@@Alex77-7 At this point unless you have to build right this second I'd wait I feel like the 5090 will be coming out pretty soon and that should have the updated connections (or at least it better).

I have the same card, have faced zero problems so far! Enjoy!!

[@XxViciousxX]

That's very reassuring to hear hopefully I will also be trouble free.

[@BigTacious]

I got this card like half a year ago, and I ran into hotspot temps in the 95c range so wanted to re-paste it to get better thermals but it did not help. i think due to the chiplet design, but anyways on my FOURTH time i used the thermal grizzly kryosheet and it solved everything. max hotspot temps rarely hit above 80c (that's when which I think where this card starts to downclock) and even when overclocking when it sucks down ~450W it only goes to 85c the card itself is amazing though. it looks so nice, it's so clean and seems to have good components. I actually have a very similar Alienware ultrawide too, pairs so nice

[@XxViciousxX]

@@BigTacious So far mines never gone over 82c on the hotspot. So I guess I lucked out on that. It's one hell of a GPU.

[@MyAkikan]

Great GPU nice design but sad to see they didnt put rgb at center of the fans. I have the 6900xt nitro+ SE which has that. I mount m'y gpus vertical thats why i prefer it

That does sound cool. I also have a vertical-mounted 4090 in my main PC. While the fans don't have RGB it at least has an interesting RGB design to look at.

Versus screaming and yelling at the thing which gets no one nowhere. Besides possibly broken computer parts lol.

[@boosivemotorsportofficial]

Are you using 3 seperate 6+2 pcie cables from your psu?

[@XxViciousxX]

Yes, I didn't want to overwhelm a cable by daisy chaining on such a powerful GPU.

[@boosivemotorsportofficial]

@XxViciousxX thanks for the reply. I have the 7900xt and I've tried everything to stop the black screen issue I'm having but to no avail. I've got two more options to try. One is a new psu. My current psu only has 2 cables. So one needs to be daisy chained. Apparently the psu says its rated to 850w. But I'm beginning to think maybe that it's not as powerful as it states? Hence my screen refreshing randomly. As my previous 6700xt works flawlessly. It's only when I install either the 7800xt or 7900xt, I get the issue. If a new psu doesn't solve the problem. Then my only remaining hope is getting a better motherboard 🤷‍♂️

[@XxViciousxX]

@@boosivemotorsportofficial As long as it's a name brand 850w should be enough power but like you said you have to daisy chain so maybe that's something to do with it. I've always gone with slightly overboard PSUs. Mainly just to get the extra connectors as well as having the fans almost never turn on since neither of my PCs use much more than 420 to 500 Watts while playing a game. So you could always try getting a different PSU that has enough connectors and if that doesn't work then you can just send the PSU back and get your money back.

@@RSHouseOfGaming there is basically none If you turn everything in my house off turn the sound of the game off and have all of the fans basically not spin you might be able to hear a tiny amount of coil wine. But then again this is also with my way above average hearing so normal people still might not be able to hear it. But to answer question no not really I doubt any people would really be able to hear this thing coil wine especially after dealing with my 3090 founders edition That thing whined like crazy It sounded like bees were having a battle in my case every time I would play a high FPS game.

[@MariusVerbavicius]

​​@@RSHouseOfGamingyesterday i was testing this card and mostly coil whine is at 100%load but depends on situation how bad it is. With 70-80% load often it is not existing which is very good in my opinion. Card perform very good. It is like EVGA of nvidia. Gpu feels very solid and I am very glad I did not buy 4080. Because it performs better in most situations except RT, but AMD software is actually more comfortable to use.

That bios switch what is the oc one left or right

[@XxViciousxX]

So the BIOS switch has three positions: left-most = default BIOS, middle = secondary BIOS, right = software-controlled. There doesn't seem to be an overlock BIOS perse but the default allows for the fastest fan speeds.

Was it worth the upgrade over the 3090?

[@XxViciousxX]

For me I would say so but for regular people they're going to have to decide if 15 to 35% more performance is worth it with worse ray tracing performance but I don't care about ray tracing all it really does and most games is kills your FPS without looking that different of course there are some exceptions to that rule like cyberpunk 2077 but games like that are few far and in between.

[@CaptainMcShotgun41]

@@XxViciousxX Thanks. And yeah, raytracing hasn't really felt good to me at all. I'm upgrading from a 3090 as well. Mostly because the drivers have gone downhill really really bad.

[@CaptainMcShotgun41]

Yeah, AMD has been doing extremely well. I got a 6800XT a week or 2 after release and it was supremely stable. Their driver reworks for DX11, OpenGL etc made it only better.

But as far as the eight pins go from what I hear you can use just two but you just won't have as high a power limit. I also have a 4090 that takes four eight pins. If I take one out it drops my power limit in afterburner. The hotspot temperatures on this particular card are great. I don't think I have seen over 77c on the hotspot on my GPU.

@@stabilozz Your PSU should have come with some extra cables (unless it was a prebuilt or OEM system sometimes those ones don't) But if it has extra cables just look for the 6+8 Pin ones. Also, make sure you don't daisy chain the connectors. Sometimes there will be two 6+8 Pin connectors on each cable. So make sure you only use one per GPU or it can cause instability. If your current PSU doesn't have them just make sure you grab a new PSU that does have at least three 6+8 Pin connectors which as long as it's 850w+ should have at least three of those connectors.
