XFX Radeon RX 7900XT Gaming Graphics Card with 20GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 3 RX-79TMBABF9

The general performance of this card has been great, as expected from AMD's most expensive gpu. However, there was some driver crashing issues specifically with Destiny 2 for the first couple weeks of use, but it somehow has stopped happening over time without updating drivers or anything. Those crashes were really concerning for a brand new card and had me panicking due to some bad things I've heard about AMD drivers, but I do not regret switching from Nvidia now that it's sorted itself out.If you don't care for ray tracing and frame gen (not worth imo), this will deliver an outstanding experience. I enjoy many games at 1440p, 240fps on max graphics.Installation with the included "z-bar" support is pretty straightforward, but the support will require two additional gpu mounting screw holes on your pc case, leaving a sizeable gap under the card in rear wall of the pc case. With the support, the gpu sag is pretty mild, which is impressive since the card itself is gigantic (make sure your pc case is big enough).Noise level is generally pretty quiet. However, very high loads will induce a decent amount of whine. Not a problem if you game with headphones, but otherwise could be annoying.

So I play in 1080p, so take what I say with that in mind.First off, the card is INSANE! I'm playing Silent Hill 2 Remake on Epic with no upscaling at 60 FPS. This card gets a consistent 144 FPS (capped bc of monitor refresh rate) on Apex Legends on Ultra settings. The only thing holding this card back from being the best GPU on the market, is the fact that it only utilizes 8 of the 16 PCIe4 pins. But honestly I don't know if that really even matters in 2025. I still get massive frame drops in HW Legacy but honestly I thinks that's due to poor developer optimization. And it's definitely a CPU bottleneck.Temps wise, it sits around ~65°C air cooled. Fits in my mid-tower case. Fans get pretty loud but doesn't bother me. At least there's no coil whine or buzz and tbh I've heard louder.It looks sleek it the case. I'd recommend buying a GPU brace so there's no sag.If you can afford it, try to get a decent Ryzen CPU that's better than mine (R7 3700x) preferably one with higher single core speeds. Also I would recommend getting a motherboard that supports PCIe4 to get the full potential of this card.I'm rocking a 750w PSU. Probably wouldn't go lower than 650w just to be safe.All around 9/10 GPU in 2025. Would highly recommend picking one of these up.BUT!!!!!!!! I did get this card almost $100 cheaper than it's listed at the moment (got mine for $350 I think) so... I don't think I would pay a penny more than that for it UNLESS price doesn't concern you or you absolutely have to.With all that being said, I think this card is a fantastic GPU and will serve anyone for the next ~10 years. Don't listen to all the YouTubers trashing it. 9/10

I recently purchased the XFX Swift RX 9060 XT OC 16GB, and I’m beyond impressed. This card is a powerhouse and it’s been an absolute game-changer this card delivers top-tier performance with zero compromises this card delivers flagship-level performance with excellent cooling and AI-enhanced features from the moment I installed it, everything from boot-up to gameplay felt smoother, faster, and more immersive Solid construction with a sleek, aggressive design that looks great it crushes 1440p gaming great value

So, I am an avid VR player. I love playing VRchat with friends, going to events with 60 people there, and to say it's GPU intensive is an understatement. My NVIDIA 3060 Ti could not keep up, not with it's 8GB of VRAM, and the only option was either accept hindered visuals and not being able to see everyone's avatar at once...or upgrade. I chose upgrade. It was Black Friday, so all the sales were going on.The question was "Do I wait for the 5000 series by NVIDIA, buy a 4070 Ti Super which is being scalped right now, or do I decide to buy from AMD and take a leap of faith?" I chose to take the leap. AMD has a rough reputation with GPU's, driver issues galore, and they used to be very fickle about working properly. But in the day and age where to get 4080~4090 performance, you need to shell out $1,500 or more, right when a new chipset is also around the corner, there's a reason to look at the competition rather than the "name brand". AMD is not the off-brand parts component supplier it used to be, it is a fighting force, and it has product that rivals NVIDIA at lower prices.The Radeon 7900XTX with 24GB of GDDR6 VRAM absolutely blew my expectations. I need to preface, I did have issues initially. My build is older. I'll give a spec sheet at the end of this, but long story short, I can't overclock my GPU without Blue screening. That's more likely due to my system specs than anything else. But that first night, despite PC crashes, I was capable of loading all 80 players with very poor optimization that VRchat has, while also using Full Body Tracking which also taxes GPU's, and it still had more fight in it. My 3060Ti would have been incapable of even running at 10 FPS, where it was running smoothly at 27~35 FPS with everything I could possibly throw at it to hinder my FPS, and just going to any room with less people instantly got me right back up to 45 FPS. While it may not seem impressive, with my build, it shows this is putting in incredible work. It never even was using more than 60% of the GPU's utilization, which is either due to my build bottlenecking it, or the game itself.The incredible part of this GPU is that with that much VRAM, you can throw so much at games graphically, that you almost don't even need to worry about it. Almost no games currently run you so close to the limit of your VRAM capacity, unlike with the 3060Ti with only 8GB's of VRAM, where it was a constant limiting factor. Still functional, still can handle VR even, but with hinderances. I feel unhindered with this GPU, and with the black friday sale getting it down to $799.99? It was a steal. Expensive, most expensive computer component I've ever spent, but it was worth every penny. I will go ahead and say, if you have been running small(er) graphics cards like the 3060, you may find you cant fit this GPU in your case. You should double check it can fit before you put it in. Even with my current case I bought, it has enough room, but it's a closer fit. It's big. It's monstrous what it can do. I'm limited by everything else, and I think when I upgrade more, I'll see just how much it's capable of. If you can't or don't want to afford an NVIDIA GPU equivalent between a 4080 and 4090, this is a great card to get. Powerful, enough VRAM that games will take time to catch up with this much VRAM being normal in most computers for years, and I see no reason this GPU won't last me another 3 years easily if not longer. If it's on a substantial sale, or in a year or two you can buy one second hand working well, it's a great option. Even for VR. Drivers aren't bad, they aren't NVIDIA, but they are still responsive about getting them out. AMD is truly a competitor and worth looking into even their GPU's, which for years couldn't be trusted. If anything, while they have that reputation, you should capitalize on the bargain if Intel's new budget offering isn't to your liking.Spec Sheet:MSI Tomahawk B350AMD Ryzen 7 5800XAMD Radeon 7900XTXEVGA GQ Gold 1000 Watt PSU32GB DDR4 RAM (Sorry I don't remember specifics on the RAM sticks.)It performs well despite an older CPU and even older Motherboard, and seen 2 different upgrades. Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA 2070 Super to the Ryzen 7 5800X and 3060 Ti, to my current. It performs well for all VR tasks, with nearly if any issues. I run nearly every game on highest settings at 1440p, and desktop games run at stable 60 FPS, usually higher almost always. It's a fantastic setup that really, I expect can coast me by for a good few years, I may invest more in the motherboard and CPU, go up to DDR5, but really, I'm not hindered by much with my system for my applications I play. This GPU has made a substantial difference, the previous was good, this is another ballpark. This was and is the first PC component I bought and felt excited to see installed, and am still so enthralled with it. I have some deep pride for my AMD 7900XTX.

I’ve been running the XFX Mercury RX 9070 XT OC Gaming Edition in my new Ryzen 9 9800X3D build for two months now. The card runs flawlessly on factory settings (no manual overclocking), delivering stable, high-end performance across modern titles.Thermals are excellent. Idle temps stay under 40°C, and even in Cyberpunk 2077 (Ultra settings, FSR 3 enabled), it stays around 60°C. The triple-fan cooler and massive heatsink from XFX do serious work here—quiet, efficient, and cool under pressure. The ARGB is clean, syncs easily, and doesn’t require any bloated software.Build quality is solid—this is a beefy card with real thermal headroom and a sturdy feel. It fits well into a high-performance build and doesn’t feel like it’s cutting corners.That said, the price is a real drawback. The MSRP for a standard RX 9070 XT is $599.99, but this OC version comes in at $899.99. That’s a $300 markup for a factory OC, bigger cooler, and RGB. On top of that, I bought through a third-party seller and paid an extra $60 shipping due to demand. While performance is roughly on par with the 5070 Ti, the value just doesn’t hold up at that price point.For contrast, I also picked up an RX 9060 XT (3-fan version) for my 2018 Intel system, upgrading from a GTX 1080. That only cost me $50 over its $349.99 MSRP—and honestly, it felt like a far better value for mid-tier 1440p gaming. Cool, quiet, and perfectly matched for that older rig.And yeah, I now regret skipping the RX 7900 XTX. Back in 2024, it dropped to $799—$200 below its official $999 MSRP. Now, in 2025, it’s floating around $1,200 due to limited supply and rising demand. For what I paid for this 9070 XT OC, I could’ve had a 7900 XTX with better raw performance and more VRAM—and still come out ahead.Sure, I’d be giving up FSR 4 support—but let’s be honest, most current games still run on FSR 3, so I’m probably not missing much. The real loss is just timing. Could’ve had flagship-tier raster performance for less money. That one hurts.At this point, I’m planning to hold out for the 9080 XT/X or 9090 XT/X, once RDNA 5 has matured and pricing normalizes. Maybe around 2027, when the dust settles and the early-adopter tax fades, I’ll make the next big jump.Bottom line: The XFX 9070 XT OC is a strong GPU—cool, stable, and well-built—but its $899.99 price tag drags it down. It pairs well with high-end CPUs like the 9800X3D and delivers smooth gaming out of the box, but performance-per-dollar just doesn’t stack up. If you can wait or catch a better deal, do it. I wish I had.That said, in the context of today’s market, it’s not the worst deal. We’ve seen this trend grow since the “RTX tax” hit with the 2080 Ti—what used to be a $500 premium card in 2012 now easily breaks $1,000. If you're eyeing a 5080 or 5090? You’re looking at $2,000 to $3,000 easily. Against that backdrop, the 9070 XT OC’s $899 doesn’t look quite as insane—just mildly painful instead of laughably brutal.

The AMD 9060 graphics card has been a solid upgrade from my previous RX 580. While I don't play ultra-demanding games, I appreciate knowing the 9060 has the capability to handle them if needed. For my uses—primarily productivity and older games—it’s been a noticeable improvement in display clarity, responsiveness, and overall performance.The card itself is quite large, so make sure you’ve got room in your case. Thankfully, the fans are well-designed and efficient, keeping temps in check even during extended work sessions. Noise levels are minimal, which is great when you’re focused and multitasking.Given the price, I felt the value was excellent for the quality you’re getting. If you're upgrading from an older model like the 580 and need something reliable for both work and gaming, the 9060 hits a sweet spot. AMD cards are often underrated and this one is wonderful.

Card would not give me display though it was getting power and the fans were spinning! Awful customer service process through XFX. Would not risk the purchase!

So refreshing to see a graphics card with no fancy lights or decals or highfalutin' naming. Just a straight-up, matte black, three fan graphics card that performs at 4K and has sufficient VRAM. The gaming market needs more cards like this one.

I love this card I didn't want a 350-400w card and this one is nice and compact and fits in my PC. It is the BEST card available right now - qualitatively. The new 7000-series AMD cards have MUCH better legacy MPEG encoders - comparable in quality to 40x0 NVENC! Among the 4090, 4080, and 7900 xtx, this is the BEST because objectively, all 4 cards do 60fps rasterization at 1080p, 1440p, and 4k. All 4 cards do ray tracing at 1080p, 1440p, 60 fps . Really NONE of the four cards can raytrace at 4K. So why pay more if the more expensive card brings nothing new to the table? Thanks XFX !!! (Fennec is a division of XFX the employees of Fennec are employees of XFX).

My only regret is not having bought this card sooner!It perfectly fits in my XTIA XProto-N case and matches the industrial look that I’m going for.As far as performance goes, it effortlessly runs laps around my 3070 ti.I don’t care for Ray Tracing so I know that I won’t be missing Ngreedia.At stock/default settings, the GPU barely hits 60 C. I have undervolted it slightly and reduced the power limit a bit and it runs even cooler now while getting 120 fps on all my games: RDR2, BF V, OW, etc.At 20 GB of VRAM I expect this GPU to last me 5 years before I upgrade to something newer.I’m honestly and quite happily surprised on how cool it runs in vertical orientation.Zero regrets here!
