Yesterday we already had the launch article about AMD’s reference cards of the Radeon RX 7900XT and Radeon RX 7900XT. Since everything is currently a bit too crowded and heaped, I don’t want to let today’s launch of the board partner cards fall under the table, of course, but I also have to really set priorities in terms of scheduling. Therefore, I have already tested a part of the XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTX parallel to the reference tests and naturally want to make you a bit smarter today. A promise is a promise and so we already have first information about the performance, the power consumption, the temperatures and of course the coil whine. That should be enough to guide those who want to buy, the rest will be detailed as usual a bit later.
What you see in the picture below the box is not AMD’s new energetic crowbar, even if malicious readers might associate it that way, but it is a practical graphics card holder for stabilization on the case. After all, the card weighs 1890 grams in this version, even though that is not that much more than the AMD RX 7900XTX reference. But there is to know that you get something like that. Practical.
The XFX RX 7900XT Merc 320 24GB in detail
Now let’s first look at the exterior of the card. XFX relies on a true in-house design and skillfully revisits the familiar design language of the Speedster series. Pleasing light metal and a mix of black and metallic are definitely a benefit for the visual presence. This looks good and timeless and thus also stands out very pleasantly from most plastic deserts. So effort has already been made.
With a length of 24.5 cm from the outside of the slot bezel to the end of the card’s cooler cover, it’s 34.5 cm. That’s not squeamish and thus the card certainly doesn’t fit into every case. We also see the vertical fin alignment of the cooling fins and the funny bevel at the end of the card. This has so also no one further.
On the top, we see the three 8-pin connectors for the external power supply next to the LED-sponsored XFX logo, and we also find out how much that ends up being when the card is allowed to drink through a thicker straw. By the way, the water tap is on the right, which can be used to switch the BIOS to a higher level if you prefer slightly thicker water jets.
So that this doesn’t lead to heat collapse, the three 9.5 cm fans (in the obligatory 10 cm round opening) with the 13 rotor blades also have to stir up dust in the case well. How loud or quiet this works, you will read in a moment.
XFX has solved the problem with the backplate quite nicely. Grooved looks like a Tefal grill and the useful pull-through opening at the end of the card are nothing to criticize. But hopefully the grill remains only on the optics!
The port variety has grown a bit, even if the USB-C had to make way for it. VR fans will therefore like this card less. Once HDMI 2.1 and three times DisplayPort 2.1,. that’s it Lars.
We now come to the actual short test on the second page, which, however, already reveals everything important.
