      Went from a Gigabyte RTX 2060 6GB that I bought from a friend loghtly used for a reasonable price during the shortages to an XFX 7900XT Merc 310 Black Edition.
      Roughly 350% Performance improvement!😁🤘
      In combination with my 5800X3D+64gb DDR4 3600 RAM I'm constantly bouncing off the 180 fps limiter in DCS World.
      AMS2 averages in the 180s-200s.
      In 3440x1440 native.
      Still think I could unlock more performance with a switch to the 9800X3D or 9950X3D.
      And I might watercool it later as the XFX cooler is only so-so.
      Can get a bit loud under heavy load.

      yeah, i couple my 7900xt with a 7800x3d and its sooo awesome. I still use the upscalers as i honestly cant even tell the difference bt it and native 95% of the time. so i runn pretty much everything i throw at it at about 200 frames 1440 ultra everything.

      I got a used RX6900XT for below 400€ 🎉
      I use upscaling from 1440p to 4k and an 80FPS limit anyway, so my GPU only uses 60 to 120Watt.
      I‘m super happy, but when other models become cheaper, I‘ll consider upgrading.

      @@1984Captive I actually own a 4090. Not sure what you mean by if it isn't great on your card it's not great on any others, but I guess that's pretty typical. From my personal experience the path tracing looks excellent on the 4090 actually. For standard RT it was quite easy to run native 4k DLAA for high fps, but after seeing the path traced version I did decide to upscale the 4k to get the full effect. Definitely improvements to fps that can be had for path tracing, but for usual watered down RT experiences I'd definitely say my 4090 does really well. But yeah watered down RT isn't always the best, once you experience it fully though I think one day you'll come to appreciate it and see why AMD is really going to be pursuing it on their next generation. It's like FG, wasn't appreciated by the masses until the masses had access to it, and now it's generally well praised after getting pooped on all year for "fake frames! we want raster!". Now it seems like every day I'm seeing people stoked about all this "extra performance" they are getting from the fake frames that isn't raster.

      Indeed. Too many 6000 series cards were left on shelves by the time RX 7000 was released. Hence initially we had so badly priced cards like $900 7900 XT or $450 7700 XT and also 7900 XTX and 7800 XT, which were selling above MSRP for a few months.
      Even now, almost 2 years after the first two 7000 models were released, there are still plenty of unsold 6000 cards left.
      No wonder there AMD has no intention to release RDNA 4 yet. Somehow they still need to sell those old cards.

      The performance increases, aside from the halo cards, wasn't that big to justify the price bump (it even is negligible in a lot of cases).
      But to be fair this is also true for Nvidia. Rtx 4000 series aside the halo cards are a disappointment too in that regard. Heck 3000 series cards even outperform their newer siblings in some games (so even worse than AMD.)

      If your goal was 4K 60fps+ rasterization then the 7900 XT was the first sub $1,000 card to achieve that level of performance. It is what it is. Some stupid people criticized the price as being too high but they ignored the fact that nothing else could beat it for 900 bucks! Scaling the 4070 Ti or 4080 to the same level of performance would have cost $1050! Hardware Unboxed had a really twisted and incorrect perspective!

  • @Azureskies01
    @Azureskies01 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    My issue with my 7900XT is the power consumption while playing games that are really "easy" to run (older games such as Oblivion). There is something wrong (or something they had to do to make it work anyway) with the memory controllers being on the MCDs that require the GDDR VRAM to be run at full speed which makes your GPU automatically use a little less than 100watts no matter how easy it is on the GCD.
    For example I'll be playing Oblivion with the GCD running at like 300 mhz using 15 watts while the memory is clocked to 2500mhz using its normal ~95 watts for a combine 100+ watts. There is zero reason a game such as Oblivion would need the memory to be run at 2500mhz but chiplets on a GPU have their disadvantages.
    It seems to have to do with games or emulators being run in full screen mode and not windowed, in windowed mode those things make the RAM clock down to 909mhz which is still around 50 watts but it is still much better than keeping it in full screen.
    At the end of the day I'm happy now that the drivers have been fixed for the 7900XT but there are downsides.

    • @mastroitek
      @mastroitek 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good point! I have similar issues with my 7900gre, even in idle sometimes it takes 60W because memory clocks go up (and solution from the internet did not solve the problem). The other day I noticed it was sucking 120W on Don't Starve, a game that can run on the iGPU of my old i7 6700k!
      Not sure what AMD got wrong there

    • @leucome
      @leucome 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Probably really just about the power profile I think. I tried with manual setting using LACT on Linux then a 4K intensive game went all the way down to 75 watt total with vram max state set to 456 mhz. I think it is the equivalent to 909 as it is showing the base clock not the DDR transfer rate. So the GPU can use low power. It is the profile that don't go that low for some reason. Most likely to make sure that it always look good in benchmark.

    I upgraded from 2080 TI, which I didnt really use for gaming , It was in my media center PC that I was upgrading overall step by step since its a AM4 platform with top of the line ASUS board in it, I was mainly using for watching videos and sometimes gaming. The only reason I upgraded was because I needed a GPU for another PC that I also use and I decided to buy the RX 7900 to this one and put the older GPU into the other machine. But it has been 4 years since I purchased any top of the notch GPU or any GPU to be honest, therefore it is a good deal and a good upgrade that costed me a $16 a month if to calculate the cost over the past four years that I haven't done anything.

They run rather slow on it's base clocks for some reason but have a lot of uplift. It's effectively a 7850 XT anyway lol. And it'll be a lot more tolerable price of 500 to 550. Awesome card for 1440p and still able churn 4k 60 (depending on the game, of course.)

    I have a 13600k, 32Mb of ram, a 60Hz 4k monitor and a 7900XT.
    Everything plays along, the price was affordable and the gaming experience is fine for me. If I need more FPS, upscaling is there.
    Star Citizen max setting at 4K goes between 55 and 60fps at Horison (quality upscaling) and I don't think there are more demanding games around.

    My brother asked me about upgrading his 2070 Super. I suggested the 7900 GRE since it was new to the states at the time. It had a great to performance ratio when compared to same price class Nvidia GPUs. He ended up with a 7900 XT and he loves it. He's getting better performance than the 3080 that I way over paid for.

    I bought my xtx for $1100 back in early 2023. After many driver updates, the 7900xt is starting to looks like the 5700xt (without the driver issues lol) of this generation. Ancient Gameplay did an update performance on the 7900xt, and after all the updates it saw a avg of 10-15% more performance over the launch GPU. With that being said, so has the xtx, though I don't think it has been as good of jump in performance.

    3 of those games were ported to PC by NIXXES who are well regarded, although the originating studios and tech were different (Suckerpunch, Guerilla & Insomniac). Regardless; I have the exact same Sapphire Pulse 7900XT and once they fixed the pricing it's an excellent card. I have an aging Zen 2 CPU on a decent B550 board and with FSR Quality and Framegen on it puts out a fairly consistent 4k 144Hz. Great card.

    You shouldnt worry about Resident Evils VRAM warning. They overestimate the VRAM usage waaaaay too much just to be sure. Im running a RX 580 8GB and they speculate around 10GB of VRAM usage while i only get 7.5GB. No hitches even when it comes close to 7900mb total. But still, averages around 7.5GB on 1080P with 8GB textures.

I heard the XTX version can run at 110 C so I dont mind the 90+C I get on this card. Had to undervolt it a little tho.

  • @snipeez1ify
    @snipeez1ify 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love my 7900XTX still. Haven't had a game where I felt like I needed more since I've had it, most games I play, click max setting, and enjoy 200+ FPS pretty much all the time at 1440p. With new triple A games, go find a settings tuning guide, get 95% of visual candy, and still enjoy 120+ (Starfield excluded). I found with it does best with light ray tracing as well, I played through Cyberpunk with somewhere between ultra and high settings, with just ray traced reflections on, and I was around the 110-120 mark the whole time (FSR quality), while still enjoying the most impactful ray tracing setting visuals wise.
    7000 series was a weird one, the higher up in the stack you go, the value is still there, if not better it feels like honestly. The 7900XTX, with inflation taken into account, roughly the same price as the 1080Ti would've been today, and I feel like it flew a little under the radar for how close it got you to a 4090 while being SO much cheaper, and still giving good ray tracing performance until you have ALL the ray tracing setting turned on, which you don't typically need for the game to look just amazing still.

  • @ronchum5178

    I bought a 3080 almost 2 years ago when the crypto market crashed. If the difference between a card of it's class and a 7900xt is only around 20-30%, I have no reason to upgrade anytime soon. Especially if the top RDNA 4 dye will only be an effective price/power consumption reduction of the 7900xt. Nvidia might have something worth upgrading to with Blackwell, but I doubt it will be priced reasonably. Not gonna spend a penny over 700$ for my next upgrade.

Upgraded from a 3070 that was getting about 90 FPS in fully modded Asetto Corsa to now over 200+ FPS with the 7900 XT which looks buttery smooth on my 45" LG Ultragear 240hz OLED.

    I have had the card 2 years now. I mixed it with a 5800x and 32g RAM. The 7900 XT has been pretty good. I will say that I expected more for how much I paid for it 2 years ago ($1600 AUD). It's definitely the best bang for ya buck on the market right now. I play 1440p native on a 120hz TV. Most games I'm pushing 100+ fps. Other games I'm hitting 50 - 70fps, like helldivers 2.
    It's a great card but sometimes it just doesn't feel like I got my moneys worth. Like when I'm getting 50 - 60fps in helldivers 2, and all of a sudden the fps will drop down to 42. That's not a $1600 card IMO. I feel like this card will struggle in the next 2-3 years to do native 1440p. It struggles now to keep demanding titles over 100fps. This is my first high end GPU I have ever purchased. I'm not disappointed, it does most games way over 100fps, but I'm just not impressed.

    Great video, Iceberg! :) The 7900xt is a true beast of a card. If only the RT performance wouldn't be so bad compared to the 40series. FSR 3.1 is a step up compared to 2.2, but still looks a bit worse in direct comparison with DLSS and XESS. Once AMD nails the technologies and won't be lacking anymore in that aspect, I might go with an AMD GPU in a couple of years when high-end models are being released again. For the time being, my 4090 should serve me well.

    Almost a year ago (last August), I had the chance to purchase an ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming OC for $1148CAD ($850USD / £645) as an open-box special on Newegg. Needless to say, I pulled the trigger IMMEDIATELY and have been enjoying it ever since. To date, I have never seen a non-used XTX for the same price or less ANYWHERE.
    I marvel (and not in a good way) at what people will pay for GeForce cards while I'm laughing with my XTX and its 24GB of VRAM, knowing that I paid LESS for it at the time than the cost of a 7900 XT. My backup card is an ATi Radeon RX 6800 XT OG Reference model and I would have happily stuck with that but I just couldn't say no to the offer for the XTX.
