This turned out to be the best purchase ive made in a while. Its a huuuge card though, but luckily i had the space for it and havent had a single issue when it comes to gaming. I used to have overheating issues with my old vega 64s in crossfire...but this actually runs in a great temp range.
Ive run just about every AAA game on it withoit issue....this includes the Last of Us and The Callisto Protocol. Despite the optimization issues facing those games, they run pretty smoothly!

Amazing value, just the usual caveats of using an AMD graphics card.
Games perform crazy well on it, but just keep in mind what your use-case is when buying a graphics card. If you're doing any kind of AI work, don't even bother with AMD. Nvidia's software stack and CUDA support makes AMD cards entirely irrelevant to anyone doing AI stuff, but if you're just gaming, then I would 100% recommend this card.
AMD's drivers are way better than they used to be, but you'll still notice some brand new games crash and not behave properly until a patch/driver update.

i purchased this 6 months ago after doing my research between keeping on the nvidia train or switching to amd and im not disappointed! i purchased this to replace my old gtx1070 that was trustworthy for many years. with a bit of tweaking the merc310 is a beast. mine holds constant clocks of 3000mhz and boosts up to 3200 at times with very stable power draw on a liquid cooler. i play most games at 4k ultra at 120+ fps depending on the title. this card is a great card for performance and for the price. definitely recommended.

One Beefy Boi

There's plastic on the fan centers, the back plate, and the front. Make sure to remove em. Very beefy, make sure to install it with provided support or have your own. Running mighty smooth on my M32U Gigabyte monitor. Runs PSO2 on 4k maxed out settings. Stays surprisingly cool, considering my case currently has some fans missing. No overclocking on my side. Doubt I'll need it on any games I frequent.
TLDR: Works amazing on 4k monitors. Overkill for anything else IMO. No complaints on delivery/packaging.

I bought this gpu back in May of 2023, and I must say, this is the best quality gpu you can get for under $1,200. This is my first AMD gpu, and it won't be my last. I run every game at max settings on a beefy AM5 system with no problem at all. The gpu is so quiet that I put a mirror under the card to make sure the fans were working. That being said, the temperature stays cool even under intense loads. It's very rare for this cards temperature to exceed 62C.

The card itself is an absolute beast. It can run anything I throw at it at Ultra graphics. This card performs best at 1080p or 1440p. 4K works, but other cards like the 4080 are better at 4k performance. After most of the driver issues got patched I haven't had any issues with this card. I will say it is definitely a large graphics card. Be sure to check your case size prior to purchase! I did not but managed to remove a front case fan to get this to fit in my case, but by no means was that ideal.

If you want a super fast graphics card, but do not want to pay Nvidia prices. The 7900XTX is the only game in town. Best value price 24 GB graphics card you could possibly buy right now. Can do 8K gaming at 60 FPS stable. The 7900XTX will never match the RTX 4090, but it is still an incredible GPU. That is well worth the price.

Excellent performance, but some features are a bit lacking. This particular card only has one HDMI 2.1 port - the other ports are displayports. Furthermore, despite months of driver updates, the card still sometimes idles around 50-100W (while other cards idle sub 20W). The card runs well at 4k, and it runs cool (on ultra, I have yet to exceed 70C).
Also, the anti-sag bracket is pretty much useless. For a high-end card like this at such a high price, I'd expect a bit more.

Great gpu. Raster performance is great. Just don't plan on doing any raytracing with it. Not to stir the pot but raytracing is over hyped anyways. Great gpu decent price. The bracket was a bit of a hassle to get into the case.

Huge card barely fit in my Lian Li o11 mini air. Good performance, a bit of coil whine but easily ignored. Quite a nice upgrade from a 1070. Price could be better. To early to tell how the temps are but it seems cool so far.

Was lucky enough to get this card around release and have been playing around with it since. Running on stock settings, this car is double the performance of my Oc'd 2080ti i am upgrading from.
I did run into driver issues at the initial setup, especially when trying to place into performance mode. I was able to resolve with a driver removal and reinstall.
Now the fun part: Tuning. i was able to boost performance by at least 10%. at a stable level.
Overall a great upgrade.

Went from a 3060 12gb to the 7900xtx & let me just say I havent regretted it a single bit . My frames were ranging from 90ish-100 on newer games on 1440p & thought I need more of a push since the 3060 is primarily for 1080p. I wanted max settings optimally & this brought me to 165hz/fps to match my monitor.

Very fast card it looks great been using for over half a year no problems with it. It runs very cool no problems there the drivers have been super stable honestly it’s been easy to install and use so far I really reccomened to people the 24gb vram is good for anything you can throw at it. Now we have better cards for price like the new amd cards but this one still has more vram

This card is a beast. No driver issues and fantastic performance. Hard to complain unless you are paying current GPU prices. If you can get this on sale for around $800-$850 this card is amazing.

I LOVE this card. Im new to PC gaming and got burdened right away for FPS, refresh rates, 4k performance, and all the other things that PC elites strive for in their builds. This card, at a very conpetitive price point got me amazing oerformance and visuals in y favorite games like Cyberpunk 2077 and my VR experiences paired with my quest 3s. This is a great alternative to those not ready to soend 2 to 3000 on the 5090.

Picked the worst time to build a second PC and got tired of trying to get an RTX 50 series card. Went from an RTX 3090 to this and a nice upgrade averaging 30-40 more fps with the exact same settings in Cyberpunk 2077

Upgraded from a 2060 super since it was showing its age. This card is insane value for the price and handles everything I throw at it, no notes.
The only adverse thing about the card is because it’s so big it slightly sags in the front right, which seemed to throw that fan right next to it slightly out of position and was making some noise. I propped up the card with a Lincoln log of all things and the noise stopped. Hopefully I find something more permanent to help, but keep it in mind. Otherwise now, it’s completely silent even in intense games.

This is the first AMD card I have purchased in a long time, maybe 10 years. I waited so long for the Nvidia 4000 series but just couldn't justify the price. While this is still expensive it is close to half the price of a 4090. The performance is great and it's very quiet.

Works great and haven't had a single issue with this card. Temps and performance are excellent at 4K resolution.
One thing I did have to do was go into the AMD software and switch the profile to "balanced". For some reason the fans were blasting at 100% initially.
I highly recommend this GPU!

This thing is pretty great! Handles everything in 1440p with ease. When I feel like going big, 4k works like a charm.
The included brace is AWESOME. Just read the dimensions very carefully and make sure you have room for this in your case (It's pretty big).
This is just an excellent device. If you can find it near or close to MSRP, it's a no-brainer!
