Sapphire 11322-02-20G Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Gaming Graphics Card with 24GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 3

NVidia has reigned supreme for years as far as GPU's are concerned, ...that is, until recently. AMD's weakness has always been its inability to compete with NVidia's Ray-Tracing, CUDA, and other technologies, ...as well as instability of their drivers & software. But over the past year, that has all changed as AMD has made some massive strides and improvements in their technology. Even though NVidia still reigns in the video-editing & production and 3D rendering, ...software and driver updates and corrections on RDNA 3, and now, the release of RDNA 4, are threatening to hit NVidia head-on for all other 3DVR and gaming applications. With the problems NVidia has with its new 5000 series line combined with very high prices over all its products versus the performance you get (especially VRAM), AMD GPU's are starting to be more used and accepted by VR and gaming enthusiasts. It depends on your needs and the games and applications you use and run. For most, a GPU like the RX 7900 XTX is a powerhouse monster with 24VRAM and RDNA4 that will satisfy more than enough for most VR and gaming enthusiasts, especially those who need the VRAM and speed vs superior tracing. That being said, this is the go-to card for the ultimate performance in VRChat, which places more demand on VRAM than any other game or application out there (as most can't afford a $2,000 to $3,000 NVidia equivalent). Lastly, there are different brands of AMD GPUs. Sapphire and ASUS are good brands. Keep in mind that if you want the better card, you should consider and go with Sapphire's Nitro+, as this card is made for superior cooling, overclocking, utilizes more power, and will operate more comfortably, but its drawback is that it's BIG (3 slots and very long), requires space and a heavier wattage PS. I chose the Sapphire Pulse because it only takes up 2 slots, its slightly shorter, and works well in a smaller limited space case. It's not really made for overclocking. It sacrifices cooling capabilty and runs on less power, and because of this, it may tend to overheat without supplying extra cooling/airflow measures. However, if you are not planning on "pushing" this card to any extremes, its raw-power "as-is" will be a great solution for a lot of people.

I really love Sapphire cards. They look great and where other manufacturers make these a two slot and really long card, Sapphire wisely made this a two and a half slot card allowing for the installation into smaller cases. It runs pretty cool, even when maxed out gaming. It's not as fast as an RTX 4090, but it's about $1500 less. Besides, 400 FPS vs 200, you're not going to notice! But I needed a good card for an eGPU. This ain't it. But it's not a Sapphire problem, but an AMD problem. I've tried an RX5700, RX6600,two different RX7800 XTs (one was this one) and a Sapphire RTX 7900 XTX. Any computer it tried the eGPU on benchmarked phenomonally, but regardless of the game, you're getting 20 to 45 FPS. Destiny 2 was my main test game due to the high variability in maps and locations. It didn't matter. The frame rates were all over the place between 20 and 45 fps, even a the lowest settings. Resolution didn't matter. I tried two other eGPU enclosures and got the same results. Putting any of the listed cards in a PC and they're great, especially compared to team greens pricing! I highly recommend this Graphics card for PC use. I do not recommend any AMD based card for eGPU use. If you need an eGPU, go with an RTX 4070 Super. In PC performance was similar, but eGPU use, the RTX was about a 10% performance loss, so the same testing netted nothing less than at least 110 fps.

I upgraded from an MSI 2080 ti Ventus and the performance increase was spectacular. I had to fit this card into a NZXT H510 with a front mounted radiator, and I only had about 12.5 inches of clearance and was happy to see this fitted perfectly. Besides the great performance, this card is very quite cool and really quiet. I used it to create some renderings for a few hours and it didn't go past 62 C at full load. Compared with my older 2080 ti, it is extremely quiet, just a low hum at full load. The only thing to note is that even though it mostly stays at 360W, it does have power spikes at close to 400 W and my PSU of 800W was not handling it. I had to buy another PSU at 1000W. The strength of this card is the massive amount of VRAM. That makes it great not only for 3440x1440 gaming, but also for 3D work as well. I got this on sale at $889, and at that price there was nothing better. Even with the new 4000 Super series, hard to beat this value.

The card works well, there were some driver issues to work out due to high power draw at idle. The software is fully featured and may take a bit of a learning curve to figure out. I upgraded from a Radeon VII so was familiar however the new feature set takes a few videos to figure out what works with what. The card is big compared to reference and you really may need to measure your case clearance prior to any XTX purchase. Overall the card is cool and quiet compared to my VII. HOWEVER, if you are a 1080p gamer it is overkill and for the price im sure there are other options. If it were 600-700 dollars it would cut into nvidia sales pretty hard. If you are a ray tracing gamer then you are kinda stuck with Nvidia. I think overall most gamers reside in the 200-400 dollar upgrade path and it seems to be a balanced sweetspot. Now im just waiting for the new AMD releases for whats to come and justify such a lofty purchase.

This card is great, really a beast , i was playing all high games at 4K resolution, maximum quality, with EAS. I was getting 200 fps in most games, but I had to return it for one reason only: ray tracing. Ray tracing is not good with 7000 series cards; I was seeing blurriness and cloudiness when I turned on ray tracing, it made the gameplay not good, so if you care about ray tracing, this card is not for you, but if you don't, I strongly recommend purchasing this card.

I got this card in early November for 849 and let me tell you this card is amazing. Anyone here to tell you otherwise is genuinely out of touch. No issues no crashes good temperatures and quiet fans. My only complaint is high TDP when idle if you have multiple monitors. Other than that it’s flawless

I wanted to get this as it looked like it was a good value for the money card, but it turned on me quickly. Any VR game crashes in a few minutes of opening, hard system crash, aswell as many other demanding games aswell, which doesn’t happen with similar gpus. The card has this issue with both Windows and Linux, libre and proprietary drivers, and is constantly an issue. It’s an easy normal card to install, but like all cards get loud when it starts playing demanding games (before it crashes).

This build is pretty fire especially for a 5600x3D + 7900xtx mini ITX build. I was scared about having a 750W psu that came with the case but after testing the system for almost 3-4 weeks. I haven’t had any crashes like I did with the 7800xt (which ironically consumes the same wattage when PL = +15%) My 7800xt kept getting green screen crashes but saw this Sapphire pulse 7900xtx for $889 I couldn’t look back. I bought this 7900xtx and returned the 7800xt with 0 regrets. I keep the PL stock settings and it consumes 368w at most and with a -5% (w/ minimum loss to performance) I consume 345w this leaves atleast another 400w on my PSU for all else. The Pulse doesn’t spike to more than 400-425w. Performance wise, I am getting a solid 100-120 FPS @ 4K playing dead space, avatar frontier with FSR enabled. Go for it! It works well!

This is a fantastic card when you're looking for high end performance at a decent price, and i use decent price considering current cost for graphic cards. Realistically, this card will probably drop by 100-200 dollars around xmas, especially if the rumored 7950xtx does release around then. But right now, even for the outlandish cost, its the best bang for the buck when looking at high end cards. hands down beats the 4080 in rasterization, but obviously the nvidia 4080 is better at ray tracing, but not by so much that its higher cost makes it worth it imo. Besides, ray tracing, imo, is over rated sure if you sit there and look at a scene in game you can notice a bit better shadow quality, but if your like me and actually play the games and not stare at a single scene then you probably wont notice the visual difference. And the adrenaline software is heads and tails above nvidia's experience software/control panel......and i was using Nvidia cards for the last 7 years and was totally blown away buy the pure performance of this card and the software..no longer is amd hindered by software like so many claim...I'm no fan boy of either brand. I just want best bang for the buck. No question the 4090 is a faster card, but for 8 hundred dollar difference the choice was obvious for me. The only con is that my existing case didn't have good enough airflow to accommodate this card. It runs hot if you don't have a decent case. I 100% recommend the lian-li 216 rgb or standard version for this card...keeps the temps in control and the case looks great and you cannot beat it at its price point...

Muy buena tarjeta, pensé en regresarla varias veces porque los drivers de AMD me estaban dando problemas. Pero resulta que el problema era yo xd, bueno mi PC, estaba usando una motherboard b450 con 3200mghz de ram. Supongo que las nuevas necesitanas velocidad en memorias por qué las cambié y ahora va súper fluido, recomendad ya que rinde más o menos lo de una 4080. Además es súper silenciosa!.

I was reluctant to upgrade, but very happy I did. I moved to the AM5 platform, 7800X3D. I went with this Pulse because I planned on water cooling like I have done for the last 10 years. I always run my cards stock for a week to make sure there are no issues prior to the swap. This card is quite a bit quieter than I was expecting. The Sapphire Nitro Plus is a few degrees cooler and slightly more quiet, I didn't feel the need to water cool this system.
