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. Read more

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 5760x1080 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. Read more

If I could give out 10 stars, I would. Sapphire's always been my go-to for graphics cards and their Pulse lineup is just remarkable. The build quality is superb, it's got a heft to it so you definitely need that support bracket but it just feels solid and well built (personally a fan of the red accents). Regarding it's graphical performance, it can ABSOLUTELY take on todays AAA games and would be an ideal future-proof card. Read more

I've had this a while and I play all my games on the highest setting. I havnt had a single issue with it other than its a plane Jane looking card but I got it for the price because the good looking cards are way more expensive. Overall if u want an over the top card with out shelling out a ton I'd definitely recommend Read more

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. **Update Jan 2026** Card has been going strong with no issues. No driver problems. Plays all games at 1440p maxed out 144hz. Love this card. Read more
