[ErockOnTech]

Which GPU are you picking? The 7900 XT or the 7900 GRE?

[xXkillalzXx]

As an audio only listener here on youtube i really appreciate you reading aloud the data points and frame averages. Its really frustrating sometimes when tech channels do not audibly explain any of the data and instead soley show graphs.

[PrayTheBatman]

The 7800 xt was the go-to for 1440p, but with this at just 50 dollars more, the 7900 GRE is the new 1440p go-to. The new OC update, which is allowing around 10-15 percent more performance increase on average, justifies buying it now. Can't beat those thermals either.

[blakkheartt]

This a good video that puts all info side by side in one video. It really helps people trying to make a decision on which of the two cards to buy.

[Dracconus]

7900XT Temps can be compensated for utilizing undervolting, and Honeywell PTM7950 which helps reduce hotspot delta by around 20°c which helps a TON in dropping the overall temp.
I run PTM7950 on my XFX SPeedster Merc 310 RX 7900XT and don't even have to push the fans past 50% anymore to maintain under 75°c on the hotspot whereas with the Noctua NH-2 and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut I had trouble keeping it ANYWHERE near a 20°c delta compared to core without cranking the fans to over 75%.

[Kirainne]

Glad to see this video honestly. It's already a tough call between the 7800 XT and 7900 GRE but now it comes down to making the leap to the next step up for 1440p IMO. Especially with the GRE's recent memory OC for those who are comfortable with it. I guess it doesn't make it any easier to also consider the last gen Navi 21 spread as well. Either way, best of luck to anyone shopping and thanks for the vid!

[retrorxe]

The 200$ extra for just around 20 fps was not worth it for me and I settled on getting the RX 7900 GRE. Glad to say im happy with my purchase and that all my games are running smoothly on stock settings. I'm planning to OC the vram since my card runs very cool and heard that it would be worth it, how would I go about it if i may ask?

[pfandahalf]

People are weird about resolutions. I still don't think there are any 4k cards because the 4090 can't run 4k at 120 fps always. I run my 4090 at 1440p and it's great when people say "the 4090 is overkill for 1440p" because then I say back "you're right because I hate high frame rates too and lower frame rates are much better because why would I want 170 fps (the limit of my monitor) at 1440p all the time when I can have 100 fps at 4k all the time."

[lek]

its a bit awkward, the 7900GRE is like the ultimate 1440p card, where as the 7900XT feels like overkill for 1440p, yet, the 7900GRE is JUST not good enough for 4k, atleast not in all games, or unless you start to talk about RT and FSR, yet, the 7900XT is like the 'worst' current gen 4k card, where it CAN do it in all games, if you are selective about graphic settings and RT and maybe in the occasional game FSR.
i am still super happy about my 7900XT for 500 pounds from a year ago

[RKBenchmarker]

Great comparison! I loved the line, "...give me a break." Right lol

[albertovilela]

I got the Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XT 20GB + 7800X3D 6 month ago and is very good combo 20 FPS is alot FPS diference it time will see what im talking about 👍

[ScavengerFX]

You're making me glad I subscribed with every video I watch.

[nolanroube]

Ryzen 7 7700X + 7900GRE = excellent combo !

[derekcoulthard-mnsd]

The temperature differences (and price) made the 7900 GRE the clear winner for my next build. It will be small form factor so thermals must be accounted for. Great video, thanks.

[Kurazaybo]

"you are never going to use all that VRAM", famous last words.

On a more serious note, I agree. Thanks for the detailed review. The temperature difference is surprising and I think the GRE is one of the most interesting cards this year.

[paulwestphal]

Totally viable data, Bro. I was torn between a white 7800XT with RGB for $499 and a "flat" looking Asrock Challenger 7900GRE for $529. I went with the GRE, screw the RGB. 😀

[dakbassett]

One thing that is important is the memory speeds of the 7900xt. Also one reason why the vram difference is in the comparison.

[Pablowastakenlol]

At first i wanted to get the RTX 4070, then RX 7800XT, then RTX 4070 super, and now RX 7900 GRE. Im so glad i did my research and took my time to not do another big mistake. I am likely purchasing this card next month, and obviously going for the hellhound model due to its design and the temperature, which is amazing.


Im combining with R7 5800X3D, i hope there wont be an issue especially for 1080p! 😂

[ogdensbeard]

Undervolting is the play for the GRE. I undervolted my Gigabyte GRE and it's outperforming the stock 7900xt in Helldivers 2 in 1440p.

[amitbhardwaj]

Thank you very much, I really want this video 😊
