[rapatouille]

for some reason, the light bar is really appealing to me

i have the 7900XT version and i broke the world record in Spytime in the 7900XT plus i7 13700KF combination. A monster GPU really.

Cannot wait for this to come in stock in AUS, Sapphire's flagship is more elusive than a unicorn!

I've been thinking of adding this to my gaming PC. Thank you for this in-depth review.

I've been testing this one for a week now, what a card. Totally silent and an extreme performer.

It does have a support strut in the box, lovely card.

[mikesadorf]

Been looking forward to a review of this partner card!

[trevmcsir]

if you have an issue consider the 2h22 update, i tried everything with micro stuttering, swapped to other pc windows 11 then it updated the 2h22 as i couldnt in w10 it would fail

i dont think you mentioned the support bracket that sapphire packs with their cards like the pulse or nitro +

Can you do a comparison between this and the TAICHI version of 7900xtx, Just got the Taichi version, according to online resources Taichi is the the top model of 7900xtx

[swizzler]

The best XTX version imo. Keep up the great work bro and stay safe.

I hope to see the PULSE version from Sapphire soon, cause that’s the card I want this time. The current Sapphire I have is the 5700 XT (Nitro+) with a awesome design. This new Nitro+ design I don’t like, so I decided to go after the PULSE model this time since that looks amazing IMO. Saving up for the 7900 XTX this year 🤞🏻 I hope you will check up on that card, whenever it’s possible. I feel the market is still slow with putting the cards out, but hey - with my saving up, it will take several months anyway 😅 before I can get one. Also, upgraded my system from a Intel i7 6700k to AMD Ryzen 9 5900x a few months back. I hope it will pair well together. I needed more CPU power. Can’t wait upgrading the GPU from 5700 XT to the 7900 XTX 👏🏻

I bought one of these GPUs last week (from the same source as yours) and have been very pleasantly surprised by performance, temperatures and power draw. the only game that is flogging the card hard is CP2077 with RT on! My most common played game is drawing up to 100w less on the XTX than my 6900 XT previously - yes, I frame rate cap, why waste energy?

Is this better to buy than the reference model even if I won’t overclock it? It’s just 100 usd more in my country and some say it’s better if I buy this even though I won’t overclock

[valzzu]

idk why but my led bar doesen't stay on, when it turns off it stays off untill i shut off the pc for a while

[stevewatson]

I'm seeing conflicting reports on this things shroud; is it plastic or metal? I agree with you on grey(s) as good colour choices: I always admired the use of grey and the decor you created for your (previous?) house. I'm looking forward to seeing what you are creating rig-wise with this card. Price is a bit silly though v AIB 4080's. If I didn't have scruples, the Gamerock Omniblack is actually £50 cheaper: this is sitting perhaps £100 - £200 above off where it should be in my opinion.

1300 squid on ocuk....jeeeezus.
Might treat myself to one to replace my 1080 and pair with my 5800x for a full AMD build 🤔

[matthewhaughn]

Just because bare aluminum is easy doesn't make it less aesthetic. Brushed. sandblasted. Even just bare is better and better looking I don't need a few cents more per part just so I can't see inside my case. I'd be tempted to buy the lower variant just for the look.

[B-Unit]

I rushed to buy the XFX 7900 XTX though I wanted the Sapphire card. I really don't regret my purchase. The XFX is a great card. The Sapphire card is the best RGB card of the bunch. Both the XFX and the Sapphire card do great in Gaming and Cooling.

How is the board after a year?
*drives, temp...
