Customers are positive about the Radeon RX 7900XTX's performance, describing it as a powerful card capable of excellent results at high resolutions. However, customers are negative about the card's high operating temperatures, with many reporting excessively high junction temperatures even during idle periods and concerns about potential throttling. Several users noted the card reaching temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius during gaming. The high temperatures appear to be a significant drawback for some users.

One of the worst reference card experience for years. It's running very high temp, mine just reach 110c during modest gaming. It's very loud, the fan is all the way up to 100% speed It also have high power requirements, about 400w during game session.

Bought it open-box "excellent." It was plagued with the high junction temp issue and throttling. Creeps up to 110 degrees Celsius about 5 minutes into gaming. If you'd like to test it yourself, make sure you have AMD adrenaline installed, open up a performance overlay under the performance tab, open up any graphic intensive game like Cyberpunk or MW2 and just sit there. If your junction temp hits 110 degrees in about 5-10 minutes you have the same problem unfortunately. Gigabyte has notoriously slow RMA processes (if they even have 7900 XTX's available so be careful) and if you're buying this open-box from Best Buy and be wary as Best Buy does not check for this junction temp issue only for base functionality of the GPU.

This is my 3rd reference model I’ve ordered between BB and Newegg. Saw nothing but good things about the Gigabyte reference model. Wrong, this one was the worst out of the 3. This one hit 110* in less than a minute in vertical position, let alone horizontal.
