Awesome speed. Runs everything on max. Gets relatively hot at mid 80s on full load. Otherwise, it hovers around 50c on idle and light load.

This is one of the best AIB cards you can get. I ended up returning it to get a 4090, but if you're into AMD, this is the way to go (do not get the reference cards - they run too hot).

XFX Gaming Goodness!!

Lets start by saying that I got this as a gift from my loving wife, who purchased it at BestBuy. I have long been an XFX fan having owned many of their products in my 20+ years of building computers. Always had a great experience. Had a XFX Merc 6900XT in one of my home computers and it was excellent, so I was excited to check this 7900 XTX out.
First off, it's long (but looks amazing). So be aware of that as it won't fit everyone's case and be prepared to have 3 PCI 8 pin power cables and at least 850W for this beast. Right off the bat it is fast and quiet. At 100% gpu load the fans were sitting at around 35% and temps were around 54C edge and 70C hot spot. Amazing results compared to my reference model which were about 10C higher for both at 60% fan speed under the same load.
But the real magic with this card is when you uncork it, with reduced voltage to 1.08v, +15% power limit, +10% memory with fast timings and upping peak frequency to 3.2Ghz, this thing flies. Obviously silicon lottery is present here, but this thing averaged almost 3.1Ghz playing assassins creed Valhalla all the while temps never hit 60C with only 40% fan speed. Which is good because the fans do start to get a bit noisy once they hit about 50% speed. Downside here is that power consumption went through the roof at almost 450W. That is one hungry gpu, but thankfully it can handle it. Very impressed.
Compared to my 4080 FE, once they are overclocked, the XFX Merc stretches it's legs and is a good amount faster in most games. Unless there is Ray Tracing where the 4080 is usually faster, but I game at 4k and RT is just too demanding most the time for either card even with DLSS or FSR Quality modes, so I leave it off almost always. If you want to run RT at 4k, I think the 4090 is the only real option for playable frame rates.
Everything said, at the original MSRP of $1099, this XFX Merc310 7900XTX rocks for 4k gaming. It is great looking, cools amazing, OC's like a monster, but is also huge and consumes lots of power if you let it, but thankfully you can control that. Have fun gaming!

Not a great World of Warcraft card....

I decided to give Team Red a try this time around and was looking for a little bit of an upgrade from my 3080 10GB for World of Warcraft. I game on a 32:9 LG 144hz 5120x1440 display.
After weighing the pros and cons of the 4080 and 4090 I snagged one of these expecting some major uplift and I was sorely disappointed.
The card itself is large and in charge and wonderfully built. It is aesthetically beautiful and the industrial placing of the "XFX" logo is nice. In terms of build quality, it is close to a 10.
I used the newest drivers as of 1/7/2023 and 1/20/2023 with a clean install of Windows 10 and 11 (dual boot).
12900k @ 5.1ghz all core e-cores off
Arctic Cool LF II 420mm
Asus Strix Z690 D4 Motherboard
2x16GB DDR4 B-Die 4000 CL16-17-17-36
Resizable Bar ON
The verdict?
Everything set to Ultra 10, scaling to 98%, Super Fidelity on, RT disabled...Using repeatable flight point runs in Ardenweald, the 7900XTX is about 26% faster with GPU being utilized 100% (122fps vs 97fps)
Same settings RT on, the 7900XTX is about 1.33% faster. (76fps vs 75fps).
I prefer RT on so the cards are equal. Even with it off, it is only 26% faster than a 3080 10GB.
The card runs rather cool under load both GPU and hot spot running 56 and 74 respectively while fans were under 40%.
I gave it a Timespy run to make sure it was running up to spec and it scored a nice and healthy 30334 GPU score boosting up to 2670mhz.
As always, your game results will vary depending on title chosen. Make sure to check which titles you run and seek out comparative results before buying since. For example if you run Modern Warfare II, this card is closer to 4090 performance than 4080.
Unfortunately it just isn't a good World of Warcraft card.

Been using it for about 5 months now. And then I got the dreaded pixels. I tried using another GPU in my motherboard in the same slot to make sure it's not a motherboard issue. but nope. that one was running fine. Then when I plugged this one back in to make sure it wasn't a fluke. I was getting no picture at all. The GPU was spitting out a 60hz signal that I could see my monitor reciving but it was all black. I tried my iGPU and it showed the 7900XTX at some weird resolution in the windows settings.
The value of this card is great but maybe don't go with XFX. Try sapphire or asus or gigabyte. Which is a bit of a shame since the XFX card has the best design out of all the 7900xtx's out right now.
I'm using a 1000w 80+ Platinum rated PSU (bequiet Dark Power 13) so it defintely wasn't being under powered.
