This card is beautiful. It has a metal backplate, three fans, good bright lighting, and is a nicely proportioned two slot card. The heat sink is GNARLY, it has a bunch of copper heat pipes, horizontal cooling fins, and an amazing light grey on dark grey paint scheme. The 7800XT is a tank, it has brut force performance, it curb stomps 1440 GPUs from Nvidia such as the 4070 and 4070ti in terms of price to performance. The noise level of the fans is kind of high if you go balls to the wall ultra graphics on gaming like playing Starfield, Space Marine 2, Or Cyberpunk. If you play on competitive settings for like call of duty, or battlefield, the noise is non existent. This thing isn’t even phased by somewhat older titles. I couldn’t be happier with this card, and I’m so glad I spent money on something that didn’t max out my credit card AHEM Nvidia 🤨. Ray tracing performance is alright, but then again I don’t ever use it because it’s pointless, little to no crashes and the triple fan design is well suited for mid tower/full tower/dual chamber design cases in terms of size. This is not a mini atx gpu, and also before you install the card, make sure to uninstall all your gpu drivers from the previous card if you’re upgrading. Overall, price to performance is unbeatable, fans need a quieter design like bequiet, maybe collaboration with them would be cool, but eh, power draw is Quite extreme capping at 300w if you’re pushing it, clock speeds are awesome, and the card just looks stunning.

This is my first card from the 'red team,' and I decided to try it after hearing so many good things lately. Right out of the box, the build quality felt solid and premium in my hand. With new-gen GPU prices being so high, this card offered similar performance for almost half the price of the competition. I'm very happy with it. It runs games great on my ultrawide 2K monitor. Sure, the ray tracing isn't its strong suit, but for what I paid, this thing was an absolute steal. It also runs quiet and stays cool in my high-airflow case. The drivers and software have been solid, too. A huge plus for me is the minimal RGB - just a small logo that lights up, which looks great even when disabled. Finally, a card that isn't a huge light show. Read more
I spent literal months shopping and comparing cards. I finally bought this when it came back in stock along with a Ryzen 7 9700x for my first ever build, and after a month I've been really impressed with the performance. It was very easy to install on the motherboard. I tried Gigabyte's tuning software, but I've found Ryzen's Adrenalin to be much better for fine tuning, even allowing you to tune individual games. It runs quiet and cool once you get in and adjust the fan curves and voltages. It'll be a couple months before I can start comparing power usage vs. my consoles, but considering I'm not running it to its max, I doubt I'll notice much difference. My only gripe is that every once in a while in a game, the sound will drop out for a couple seconds, and in other games the screen will go black for a couple seconds. Probably less to do with this card specifically and more just the architecture of the card itself. Overall though it was definitely a great buy for a 1440p high settings card. Read more
So glad I bought this before the tariffs. Works great. I play on 1440p and have no slowness or issues any modern games. I play Arc Raiders, MineCraft, WoW, HellDivers, Rocket League, Fortnite, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo Infinite, God of War, everything maxed out. Pairs well with my Ryzen 5 3600 - maybe a slight bottle neck. No issues so far. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using this GPU for about a year now and it’s honestly been great. Performance has been solid from day one and it still works like new. I play at high settings without issues and it handles everything I throw at it. The AMD Adrenalin software is actually pretty good and easy to use. Drivers have been stable for me. FSR 3 is decent, I have mixed feelings about it depending on the game, but when it works well, it definitely helps with performance. I’m really happy with this card. No regrets so far. Read more
The card is a beast and will run most games right out of the box with no issues...It is wise to run an occassional 5 minute AMD stress test to check the Delta between the gpu temp and the gpu hotspot as when it gets over 25c-30c apart, you will start getting freezes and driver timeouts. Replacing the putty is a bit of work but not difficult and it did resolve the freezing and timeout issues...after a year of use, the old thermal putty pushed out leaving little coverage on some parts of the die. This could potentially cause major overheating and throttling issues which could destroy the card before its time...I would give the card 5 stars if it wasn't for this issue. it is a heavy card so if your motherboard is not built for the extra weight, use braces to prevent sag. This is not a design flaw, just a heavy card...the fans max out very quickly so it is a very loud card but the fans do not need to run at 100%, 65-75% is adaquate, anything higher is diminishing returns and louder.

The 7800xt is an absolute beast! I've had the card a few weeks now and the quality of the card is absolutely amazing. I upgraded from a 4060TI. It stays super quiet and fairly cool even under heavy gaming loads at 1440p max settings. If you want nice quality graphics or your chasing higher FPS without breaking the bank this GPU will do it for sure. Also the AMD adrenaline software is just as easy if not better than Nvidia in my opinion. Read more
AWESOME GPU. Can’t go wrong with a 7800XT. Silent fans, stays under 65 degree celsius under extended gaming sessions, even in my micro atx hot box lol. Really recommend this card in any version. Barely any stutters at 1080p max settings. Even better when dropping the graphics down a little. Great upgrade from my 1660S No doubt it will perform superbly at 1440p Read more
