Sapphire 11323-02-20G Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Gaming Graphics Card with 20GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 3 Electronics

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing card! zero issues
I built a new home pc and but this card in it. runs very well without issue. would recommend this to anyone running an AMD setup

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful card, as advertised
Not really too much to say, it works as I would expect based on reviews/performance testing and is quiet enough at load and basically unnoticeable at idle.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great upgrade after so long
I have been holding off upgrading my GPU for quite a while now, upgrading just about everything else in the mean time. Part of that was my previous card was a evga 2070, a card that is still pretty good. Most of it was the jaw dropping prices being asked for the 30 and 40 series, which still haven’t fallen enough. Lastly the switch to AMD was due to Nvidia’s behavior. While prices are still a little high, it was finally low enough to warrant the upgrade, and i am very happy with the 7900xt pulse. Its a solid card, pretty quite, runs cool (i have rarely seen it higher then the 40s c) and managed to fit in my case (i have less then an in clearance left). It comes with a support bracket to help hold up the card, which was annoying to install, but is solid and seems to offer good support. Unless you really must have the absolute top shelf (4090, 4080, 7900xtx) then this card is the best option and can match or beat anything else for now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Graphics Card
This is an amazing card for the price and performs great with everything I throw at it. I hadn’t used an AMD graphics card in a while and decided to give this one a go after seeing the insane prices that NVIDIA was charging for similar products. I can’t say I regret my purchase at all and it’s been a smooth and reliable card in my system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great card for server!
Absolutely love this card for using it on my server. Has not failed since I got it and after fiddling around, I got VFIO and IOMMU working perfectly so I can game remotely! Wonderful card for linux users and anyone that is looking into virtualization! It is kind of noisy but is mostly due coil whine, but I can handle that. One thing I would improve on it is overall cooling on the card, but redoing the thermal paste every few months along with my CPU’s thermal paste does the trick!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool and quiet
Runs all my games at 144 fps no problem at 1440. Paired with a 5900x. Great for production as well

5.0 out of 5 stars Great performance
Amazing price to performance graphics card. I was able to snag it for under $700, which made it more than worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best bang for your buck!
This is a powerful and simple upgrade. If you know what you are doing, installation is a breeze. Make sure your computer case is large enough. It barely fit in my case however the results were well worth it. I am getting extremely good frame rates in game and applications that often tax video cards and usually the setting are at the highest detail level. Great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars La mejor compra
Cambie mi 5600XT por esta 7900XT, en todos los juegos iba a de maravilla con el ryzen 5 3600, pero en warzone no me sirvió, hasta que lo cambie por un 5800X3D me va el wz en 1440p a 150-180 fps, tengo una PSU de evga 650 gold, el consumo de la pc en conjunto no supera los 480W en juegos como RE4, Uncharted 4 y 5, aunque ya pedí una de 850, para renovar mi PSU que ya tiene 3 años

4.0 out of 5 stars Great card, cap GPU clock if you have “coil whine” problems
Probably just bad luck, but my unit has an audible “coil whine” or electronic buzz/hum when the GPU clocks above ~2200MHz, growing louder with the clock frequency. Fortunately, the excessively high clock rate does not seem to buy much besides very slightly improved 1% low frame-times, at the expense of noise and significant power consumption (~320W at full load) and heat. The GPU does not ever clock so high in most games.Manually capping the GPU clock at 2200MHz in the AMD software eliminated the noise and cut power consumption (and heat) by about 30% in affected games, with no perceptible loss in performance for 1440p gaming. Very happy with the card once I figured this out, and I now simply run it with the cap permanently. Now the card is silent, cool (60-70C) , and delivers excellent performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very powerful and relatively quiet graphics card
This GPU performs just like expected from a 7900 XT – great for 1440p and with the help of FSR even 4K gaming at high refresh rates.I mostly play Red Dead Online using the great HUB graphics settings, and in 4K the card sits very comfortably at 120 FPS with 1% lows of about 100 FPS.I’ve manually limited my monitor to 120 Hz rather than the full 144 Hz it is capable of. Reason for this is that I have found that a solid 120 FPS is more smooth than a slightly uneven framerate that fluctuates between 100 and 144 FPS. This card is powerful but not quite powerful enough for a stable 144 FPS in this game.The one significant downside I found when upgrading from my previous AMD card (6700 XT) is that a regular uninstall and reinstall of the graphics drivers (AMD Adrenalin suite) wasn’t enough. I had issues with stutters and an abysmally 1% low (in the high 50s, which makes gameplay very stuttery when 95% of the time I hit 120 FPS).To fix this I had to boot Windows 11 into safe mode and completely wipe the old drivers using DDU (“Display Driver Uninstaller” – search for it on Google) before booting back into regular Windows 11 mode and reinstalling the drivers from scratch.This fixed my issues with stutter, and maybe it can help someone else with the same issues somewhere down the line. Seems like this card is quite sensitive to remnants of old drivers, even AMD drivers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hey Nvidia, bite me.
Went AMD this time because Nvidia did jack to make GPUs affordable for regular consumers (as opposed to miners) for so long. Not to mention making things difficult enough that EVGA left the game (I was an EVGA guy before). All this greedy anti-consumer stuff. There was more, but Nvidia just left a bad taste in my mouth. Enjoying my new AMD card!

5.0 out of 5 stars Power-hungry hash-destroying monster
Works well in my Ryzen 7 2700X + Gigabyte X470 AORUS, running Ubuntu 24.04 with ROCm 6.2.0 for hash cracking and other cryptographic recoveries. It does get quite toasty though, make sure you have a good PSU and plenty of ventilation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works pretty well
Upgraded from a 6700xt 1080p 144hz setup in order to achieve 1440p 144hz. Works pretty well. Drivers need a tad bit more optimization as I had zero issues with 6700xt and had a few crashes with this 7900xt.Card looks great. Has a bracket to help support it. I have this paired with an amd r5 3600/32gb ram/650w gold psu.For the $670 I paid I’m not disappointed. Yes, you do pay a premium for high end cars and its no where near the “value proposition” of the mid range cards, but you have to pay if you want the top performance. It is what it is. It was originally on back order but did get it in about 2 weeks. Will update in a few months.**Update May 2024**Drivers are getting better. Less issues. Currently on 24.5.1. I still would definitely recommend this GPU.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great so far
I have to admit, this GPU is definitely beating my expectations so far. It worked great out of the gate without any issues and the drivers seem really rock solid and stable so far. My only complaint is that there’s some coil whine associated with the model I received but other than that, it’s working flawlessly.UPDATE 07.09.23: Card still working great and strangely enough I don’t hear any more coil whine so another positive for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Value for money
This GPU is overall great, but latest drivers must be installed from Adrenaline installer only, not Catalyst. To avoid performance issues, use AMD cleanup utility first. FPS becomes great aonly after all that features in control panel are disabled. The only thing I am missing is the guide for installation of anti-sag bracket.

3.0 out of 5 stars works ok
1. Works OK, not too hot, not too noisy. Had some issue and crashes randomly rdr2, need some adjustment. not as smooth as nvidia but at least value is ok2. power draw is high.3. game couple code expired before i redeem. i don’t really want to play the promo game (don’t like horror game), but i hate the sneaky way people do business these days that apply a expiration date and not easy visible .

5.0 out of 5 stars Great card
Card runs cool very cool and fits in a small Corsair 280x. So far I’ve been able to max the titles I’ve tested it on. No complaints here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Card for the money
I’m playing every game well over 100 fps with this card on ultra I know if I upgrade my cpu next I’ll be pushing this thing further. that’s my next big thing, this thing will last me the next 5+ years

5.0 out of 5 stars Good GPU, but, unlucky!!
First off this GPU is amazing it can easily play 1440p titles. I’ve always been more of an NVIDIA person myself but, this GPU is just better value considering the extra 4gb in vram and raytracing is niche and I’ve never cared for it. Just the unlucky part is 3 days after buying this the xt drops to 520 and xtx is 580… I paid 699 for this card.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent performance
Manages to deliver great performance at a lower price compared to Nvidia

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great!
I was a little hesitant at first when buying this card only because there were so little reviews. I picked it up during the prime day sale when it was priced at $750 Usd. The card works great out of the box. Out of the several uses of my PC I have only had 1 instance where I noticed some coil whine. However, they issue has not reappeared. I do recommend this GPU to anyone who is looking to play games at 1440p high fps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded my expectations
I’ve had this for awhile now and have used it on heavy workloads and lots of gaming, and it has been great. I moved up from a 1660ti to this (7900xt).- Solid Construction- Fantastic heat dissipation- I can’t hear it, but my cpu fan is huge and loud.- Drivers have been working fine, one hiccup so far but it was solved within minutes of updating the software- I love all the options in the AMD software, it’s a league above Nvidia’s.- This thing produces a lot of heat. It goes around 320 watts for me at 100% utilization. However, the card stays at about 72c which is amazing.Will run 4k at 60+fps. I have been using it mostly for 1440p ultrawide though and have had no issue getting 144+fps on max settings on 99% of games. (monitor set to 144hz, could go much higher on most games). Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing on gives me about 70-90fps but it’s also very smooth. Without ray tracing I’m more around 140fps, and I’m sure giving me much more in certain environments.Using cyberpunk as a benchmark in this review since the graphics are crazy, but I have had a great experience with all games and emulators.This card will handle anything you throw at it. I’m very pleased with the solid build, the software, and the low temps. My 1660ti got up to 80c in the same case for reference, though it wasn’t a triple fan design like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t be a Team Green sucker. Buy what works.
This is it. If you want the best bang-for-your-buck high-end card in the current gen, this right here is the one to buy. Anything else is either inferior performance or grossly overpriced.After running nVidia’s swan song, the GTX 1080 Ti, from mid-2017 until November of 2023, it was time for an upgrade, and looking at the market there was (and still is) absolutely no WAY I was going to pay nVidia’s absurd prices for the garbage they’re trying to hock now. Almost an entire year to release a 4070 Ti with more than 12 GB of VRAM, when I was already running 11GB since 2017? For $800? Lose my number, nVidia.Snarky complaints aside, I don’t upgrade my card often so I needed something that would hold me for another several years, and boy howdy so far this has been it. I am once again running EVERYTHING at 60fps, in 4k, at max settings. No leaning on the FSR crutch; if I wanted an upscaling cheat I would just send it at 1080p to my TV and let it handle the rest. I used to not care much about VRAM, but in this day & age you really do need 12-16 minimum to keep your performance smooth at high quality settings, so having 20GB at my disposal makes this card feel pretty solidly future-proof.Build quality is great, noise levels are great, temperatures are great, stability is great. I have literally not had a single issue with this card, other than one single game from 2009 (Burnout: Paradise) which I had to drop down to 1080p because the decade-old rendering engine would crash in 4k during certain camera sequences. Not much of a loss considering that game was made for the 1080p era anyway. Be advised, I did absolutely use DDU to make sure the install was as clean as possible; whether that’s the reason the drivers have been so stable, or whether it’s because AMD’s drivers just work fine nowadays, I can’t honestly say. Personal favorite feature: being able to toggle EyeFinity on and off with the click of a single button, to get that immersive 5760×1080 triple-monitor wraparound for games like War Thunder. Let me tell you, doing the same thing in nVidia Surround was a MAJOR pain.As previously mentioned, I got this card in early November 2023. It’s now early May 2024, and I still have zero problems and zero regrets. I cannot recommend it enough; this IS the card you want, if you’re looking for high-end performance at a reasonable price. Happy gaming.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic GPU, but has excessive coil whine under some loads.
First, the 7900XT at $700 or less is a great deal in today’s climate. It is a powerful card with loads of VRAM, and when kept at reasonable clocks and power limits, is quite energy efficient. The Rasterization performance is fantastic and will more than satisfy most gamer’s needs!Sure, Nvidia has better Ray Tracing and DLSS is generally better than FSR. However, if you don’t use either of these technologies, as I do not, then it doesn’t matter, and this is the superior card. I’ll be interested in Ray Tracing when we can get 100FPS+ 1440p @ Ultra Settings + Path Tracing without Upscaling on sub $1k hardware without ridiculous power consumption. For now, RT implementations either make no difference, or require other compromises to be made to get acceptable performance.Now, it hasn’t been all sunshine and roses. When I first started using this card, I would sometimes notice stuttering. Turns out, it’s a glitch after alt-tabbing, and disabling the “In-Game Overlay” option in Adrenaline solved this. Just took forever for me to figure out. I even upgraded from my 5800x platform to 7800x3D platform to maximize performance, and it still did it. Once I disabled this setting, all good. Recent drivers claim to address this problem.The more important problem to me is that of coil whine. I tried two of these cards, and they both had it, and I kept the less noisy of the two. Yes, limiting FPS, clock speeds, voltage, power limit, or some combination there off will help reduce it, but it still at the various least buzzes quite a bit even when these “fixes” are applied. If you go all out, maxing the power budget, 2.7Ghz, etc., the card absolutely flies! But it sounds like a pig is being tortured in my computer case. I generally like building computers as quiet as possible, so these stands out over fan noise and other noise. My old MSI RTX 3070 wasn’t silent either, but it got no where near this 7900XT. Personally, I’ve settled on 2300-2400Mhz, -10 Power Budget, and a Radeon Chill on 120FPS on most games. This gives me the performance I want with very stable FPS (My goal), and only an occasionally noticeable sound effect emitting from the card.I bought an RTX 4080 Super at $1k to maybe replace this card, due to stuttering and coil whine, but I figured out the stuttering (see above) before I received the 4080, so I never tried it and returned. I got the 7900XT for $670, and just had a really hard time justifying the extra $330 Nvidia tax to have just similar rasterization performance. Maybe it would have coil wined less, but people complain about those, too, so IDK.But in conclusion, this is a great card. It runs cool and the fans are quiet, even under a max power limit extended load. And keeping it at lower clocks/power budget only loses 5-15% performance while using 25-40% less power and very cool. If it didn’t Coil Whine, I’d love it. But due to coil whine and some missing features compared to Nvidia, I gotta remove one star.
