Summary
Sapphire charges 1159 Euros for the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X 24 GB, which is still below the cheap (but good and quiet) KFA2 GeForce RTX 4080 ST (1-Click OC). Performance-wise, both cards are about equally fast, although the GeForce is of course much more frugal. In return, the Sapphire card is miles better in terms of looks and feel, even if you buy a perfectly packaged electric crowbar. However, you get eight GB more memory in return. You simply have to calculate the power consumption emotionlessly, otherwise it’s usually the brand preference or the look that decides.
The PCB makes a very high-quality impression, apart from the underfill for the memory, and the cooler is a cream piece with ARGB beacon. In the end, there is almost nothing that speaks against the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X 24 GB, except for the higher power consumption, but a lot for it. The performance is roughly on par with or even above a factory-overclocked GeForce RTX 4080 when you consider the sum of average FPS, the P1 Low and the DXR performance. However, a GeForce RTX 4080 never has the slightest chance purely in raster graphics. Thus, you have to leave it up to your own preferences how you see it.
The ray tracing performance has at least made a considerable step forward and is now on the level of the biggest Ampere cards. This also has to be acknowledged, even if there are still up to double-digit gaps in DXR performance to be observed. But the gap has narrowed. This also affects things like the excellent video encoder. AMD has completely turned telemetry upside down in RDNA3, which has also worked well in most aspects. The fact that you can finally read out a TBP that is reasonably correct, even if it is only a good estimate, is a big step forward. NVIDIA has long relied on real monitoring of the rails via shunts, while AMD now at least uses the summation of all values from the DCR and some mathematics, which is also possible. Sapphire doesn’t make a slip either.
Since the cooler and the build quality including the choice of materials really convinces me (if you leave out the pads), I give it the well-deserved Editor’s Choice. You can hardly package a RDNA3 card more beautifully. And I am sure that this card will find many friends, even if the price is quite high. But it is also one of the fastest cards AMD has to offer.
The graphics card was provided by Sapphire for this test. The only condition was the adherence to the blocking period, an influence or remuneration did not take place.
