The card is a beast for its price.
First of all, besides the clocks, it has 16GB at x16 and a normal size and price!
With a Ryzen 7700 and a 1920x1080 165Hz monitor, it runs very well!
In Horizon Forbidden West with Ultra graphics, it averages around 110 FPS, the same in Indiana Jones (this game, however, has 2 extra Ultra settings that I didn't test much)
while in Witcher 3, it simply runs at least 120+ on Ultra and around 60 FPS on full Ray Tracing settings.
I also played AC Mirage, definitely above 100.
In another game, I don't remember what it had, but generally, any game I've played besides these runs above 100 FPS easily.
Of course, what I say is relative to the area of the map and how many NPCs there are, as well as the screen resolution; you might see it at 165 FPS and at 65-70 FPS occasionally. I didn't test 4K, etc.
I preferred it because of the price (I got it for €490) because comparable NVidia cards with 16GB at x16 are very expensive and huge.
The 4060s, for example, have 16GB at x8 and the 4070s have 12GB at x16 and are also more expensive. To have both, it costs much more. Of course, other technologies in some aspects, but with this one, I manage just fine for my requirements!
Finally, in terms of noise, it doesn't make much sound; when idle, the fans don't run, and it stays at 50 degrees, starting to work a little after 60, but if I set them to run at minimum, it goes to 35 idle, while in games, it fluctuates around 70 degrees, and it has coil whine, but not enough to be permanently annoying.
Owner for a month, now I play 1440p super comfortably on high-ultra and without FSR. It doesn't go above 65°C and is quiet from the fans. I give it 4 stars only because of a slight coil whine when the watts increase during gaming, which I've read may be eliminated with use; I will return if it indeed goes away. Connected to Asus B550 Plus and 5700X3D
The graphics card is simply from another planet. The use was mainly intended for gaming but also performed exceptionally well for complex systems at the programming level. Combined with the Ryzen 9 7900x, it completely elevated the setup. (Motherboard Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2)
It handles everything comfortably, personally I get 100+ fps in Elden Ring on a 2k monitor, all ultra settings with ease, and 80 in more demanding areas. It doesn't make noise unless it gets really stressed, but you can't even hear it if you're wearing headphones. I haven't tried overclocking but it's not even necessary. Time will tell about its durability, I'll update if anything changes.
An excellent card, it works and is enough for everyone. It can comfortably play 4K, as long as you do NOT want ray tracing. For ultra textures, however, due to enough RAM, it can compete with and surpass all the cheaper Nvidia cards, without ray tracing it even matches the much more expensive RTX 4070. The trend now is that virtual RAM is the most important feature. I was disappointed that it takes effort to get HDR on the Samsung TV (with HDMI cables that had no issues with other cards) and yes, the noise is a real issue, which cannot be fixed at all, and I have a good be quiet case and good cooling. It sets off in silent mode, but when it ramps up, it is quite loud.
In my opinion, the most notable graphics card for 1440p resolution in gaming for this price. I was recommended it for an upgrade after the 1660 super, I paired it with the Ryzen 7 5700X3D and a QHD monitor, the difference is quite significant as the demands of new games have increased. It competes with the RTX 4070 in terms of price and features.
This card will last you many years! I combined it with a Ryzen 7 5700X and 32GB RAM, and I consistently get a solid 125fps capped with a frame limiter, at 1440p resolution in Call of Duty multiplayer on high settings. Temperature after half an hour of gaming is 65 degrees. No issues with drivers, and I would recommend it more compared to the RTX 4070 in terms of price/performance! Also, it is flawless in terms of quality!
There is nothing I don't like about this card. Get away from brands (AMD, NVIDIA, INTEL). Make sure it has a good price for the FPS you desire. That's all (FPS/euro)
I mainly use it for gaming on a Xiaomi 2K monitor (1440p - 165hz) and it delivers amazing performance, consistently reaching over 100-120 FPS in most heavy games I've tried on High/Ultra settings at 1440p resolution. Even on a TV with native 4K, it comfortably hits 60-80 FPS (e.g., Baldur's Gate 3), without upscaling.
In terms of temperatures, it runs quite cool, usually around 20-25°C at idle, while in heavy games it reaches 50-60°C with hotspots at 60-70°C (in a Corsair 4000D case after a slightly modified fan curve via AMD Adrenaline). It has two fans that are quite quiet even at over 80% usage.
It has overclocking and undervolting capabilities for a gain of around 5 to 10 FPS depending on the game, and a slight reduction in power consumption.
Aesthetically, it's nothing special, but the sleek black with red accents fits well with many cases and components.
I haven't encountered any driver issues so far, for which AMD is notoriously known.
Flawless in everything, so far no issues with the adrenaline software, no lag or crashing, it doesn't freeze at all regarding 2k resolution, especially in competitive games it easily delivers 144fps without drops, of course the processor one has also plays a role. It doesn't raise temperatures, overclocking doesn't have much margin but it does it comfortably as it goes, although personally I have undervolted it automatically from the adrenaline, not manually, and because I didn't see any loss of performance, I kept it that way. It doesn't make noise, and compared to the 4070 it is absolutely value for money purchase, as it excels in performance, price. I have it with a platinum 750 power supply without any issues, it is also good to be combined with an amd processor and a motherboard that supports smart access memory for maximum results. Finally, the ray tracing that Nvidia cunningly sells to overprice its cards, leaves me indifferent, I never felt the need to activate it visually in any game, so I have no opinion on whether it performs well or not.
Order from a store at 470.32€... The best graphics card for this money!
It surpasses the RTX 4070 12GB by 12 to 28% depending on the game (without Raytracing ON always). Very cool with only 30-33c Idle and without the Fans working and in WOW Dragonflight 4K@144hz all on ULTRA it keeps the game stable and with temperatures after 4 hours permanently in Dungeon Heroic Farm (Tank that does Render all the effects around you). it reached 94% 67-69cc.
I think I have no words... it consumes violently 285watt which with a 750w psu you are definitely covered. I have a 5800x3D cpu with 2x16GB 3600mhz Teamgroup Ram. no bottleneck and wow is a more CPU greedy game. The 16GB helps as in 4K wow needs 7-10GB while in 1080p 3-5GB.
I think if you make a 1000-1200€ build and don't include it you will regret it.. Especially when the immediately below 7700 XT costs 456-487€ same implementation and has the same performance as the RTX 4070. Also NVIDIA has a way... In Raytracing it's great but in raw performance at 500€ it hasn't released anything.. RTX 4070 costs 600-650€ a simple version and 4070 super/ TI / SUPER TI (as if I see dragonball) cost 850-1199€ double the price almost...! If you use RT nvidia is the choice but if you don't use RT I think the answer is one way.
P.S. Let's not start with the Drivers... from 23.01 until the 24.xx I have now, either with RX 5700 XT or with RX 7800 XT (and I have tried them all it's my second job) it hasn't frozen or crashed a game or software. And I am a person who does not respect the product... I pay 100% of the price I will bring it to 100% operation and capability...! So Drivers buy without fear.
For 1440p 144hz Ultrawide and below, it's just what you need! Quiet, no coil whine in its own sample at least, and in my case, I play everything locked at 144fps and many times it gives me this result while working well below 100%. And of course, 16GB VRAM.
This particular card was purchased at a price of 520 euros (with a 20 euro Scroutz coupon), which was the lowest on the market. It easily fits in a Mid case compared to most others that are 32cm and more. I was skeptical about the 2 fan setup it has, but it is actually completely silent under full load with 65 degrees on the core and 82 on the hotspot (of course, the case being very cool - HAF XB Evo - also plays a role).
It was undervolted/overclocked from the first moment with the settings you see in the image and has reached levels of about 6950.
The maximum wattage it can draw is 280 with the power limit at maximum, unlike other implementations that reach 300. I mention this just in case you might lose around 80-90 Mhz in potential overclocking (2-3 fps in real gaming at 120)
I can't understand why sometimes when I render, the computer freezes and the screen goes black. With my previous one (1080), it never happened to me. I don't know what's causing it... I don't think it's the power supply because sometimes it happens even when it's not rendering and there's no power outage. I hope a solution will be found in a future update.
-update 2-1-2024: The computer continues to crash. Not always, but without a specific moment for me to determine. However, it's a known issue with the graphics card that I researched online. It's a problem with the 7800xt.
