Customers are pleased with the Speedster MERC310's performance and large VRAM capacity, finding it offers great value for its price. However, some customers note the card's substantial size and that ray tracing performance could be improved. While cooling is generally praised, some users report experiencing noise issues at higher loads.
Powerful gpu, upgraded from 6600xt and I’m getting much better performance about 3x frames at 1440p, the gpu uses a lot more power, but Radeon chill I get 60fps with less power draw than the 6600xt did, but I have seen it spike to 330w. The xfx model runs cool but can get loud when overclocked, it is also a very long card especially when you attach the support bracket, I can fully recommend this card for 1440 60fps in almost all games

Great card, runs as expected and the clock speed bump over other 7900 XT’s is a nice bonus. This is the “Black edition” which has a silver backplate, the standard version has a black backplate and a ~20mhz clock speed difference (Black edition is clocked higher) and you kinda have to dig to find out which is which, and I got the wrong one the first time around. The card is beautiful and understated, it looks really lovely and high quality, but know if you’re into RGB know that the logo is a cool white LED with no adjustment. And Definitely make sure you have enough room in your case, because this card is massive, in my Fractal North (non XL) it fits, but the front fan has to be removed for the anti sag bracket to fit, and you probably wanna use it, or an alternative anti sag measure because it’s a very heavy card. Overall I think it’s a great card, kinda the EVGA route, where you’re paying a bit of a premium for a good cooler design, but it is a very nice piece of hardware.

First off, FedEx surprised me for once. As of 8pm the night before it was due, tracking said they hadn't even picked my item up yet. But I still had it the next morning. My card has benched at 2600mhz with boost. Some of the benchmark sites say this card is capable of higher. But I likely don't need that. I'm into games that utilize a lot of VRAM, but don't use DLSS or Ray Tracing. Though it is reported 1440p is still very playable with Ray Tracing enabled on this card. If you want stronger Ray Tracing performance, it's been said time and time again, go with a 4080 or 4090 and spend $400+ more. With the Zbar installed I've got about 3" to spare in my 011 Dynamic EVO, on a standard installation. Don't see a sense in going with vertical or upright installation since XFX really toned the flashiness down on this. I'm coming from a XFX Merc 319 6750 XT. I may feel froggy and throw some LED strips under the shroud at a later date if it bugs me too much. Best Buy had a very limited selection on this gen of AMD cards.
