ASUS Intros Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT DUAL OC Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

ASUS introduced the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT DUAL OC graphics cards. The two join ASUS's rather slim RX 7900 series custom-design lineup, which until now only included the TUF Gaming OC products for the RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX. ASUS's common board design for the cards it's launching, features a large cooler shroud, a tall, yet triple-slot board design, and a cooling solution that uses an aluminium fin-stack heatsink that uses no more than two Axial-Tech fans, hence the name DUAL OC. We've seen this exact board design on some of the RTX 30-series "Ampere" DUAL OC products, so ASUS may probably be carrying over the design, with suitable changes for compatibility with the "Navi 31" GPU.

Both the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT DUAL OC cards feature a milder factory overclock compared to the company's TUF Gaming OC products. The RX 7900 XTX DUAL OC does 2455 MHz Game clock (compared to 2365 MHz reference); while the RX 7900 XT DUAL OC offers 2075 MHz Game clocks compared to 2025 MHz AMD reference. It's also interesting to note here, that the RX 7900 XTX/XT DUAL OC cards feature a significantly different board design than the RX 7900 GRE DUAL OC, which features a design closer to that of the RX 7800 XT DUAL OC. Both the RX 7900 XT DUAL OC and RX 7900 XTX DUAL OC feature triple 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and display I/O that includes three DisplayPort 2.1, and one HDMI 2.1. Besides the minimal RGB, the cards offer dual-BIOS, with the Q-BIOS running them at reference speeds, and with a tighter fan curve. The card measures 32.3 cm in length, 14.7 cm in height, and is no more than 3 slots thick. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Given this is Shitsus product it will cost well above MSRP and as much as mid-range offerings from competition.

My XFX 7900 xt is all metal and runs cold, I love it. they are an awesome company to deal with too, unless I roll Nvidia someday I am sticking with XFX 100%.

 

[tabascosauz]

7900XT........is a lot of GPU for a Dual cooler. Let alone XTX.

Feels like the same story as those god awful single fan Asus Phoenix cards.

Asus has a history of treating Radeon as a second class citizen (both in general and in the context of Duals), something tells me nothing has changed.

 

[Garrus]

Asus insulting AMD fans.

Here's the dual, the old cheap dual, and not the new good design. Ok.

Looks like the big 3: Asus, MSI and Gigabyte have no love for Radeon eh

 

[Hyderz]

TUF is probably the one to get the strix is just a straight cash grab

more like nVidia's GPP is alive and well keeping these big 3 under their feet.

XFX and Sapphire though, which are both amazing, so we don't need those three idiots in our territory anyway.

Asus is amazing, if you buy their geforce GPU that is , I have 3 Asus cards (1x Turbo and 2x TUF) and they are built to last.

Radeon just isn't bringing in enough revenue for the big 3 to justify the retooling cost. That or AMD play favorite with their exclusive AIBs that the big 3 are not a fan of.

There's no GPP or grand conspiracy, this is just an entry level design for budget minded consumers, one of the two segments left that bother buying Radeon cards at all, the other being Linux diehards.

AMD GPUs have been in decline and do not deserve more than the basic attention because they perform poorly - both in your box and in market figures.

You could build the world's most overengineered 7900 XTX and it'd still be a worse experience than any bone stock 4080S in 9 out of 10 situations without the 450W+ power draw. In fact it has been done, Sapphire Nitro+ and AsRock Taichi XTX's that use more power than an overclocked 4090 and have a 1% gain to show for it.

I love people that quote the narrative.

I'll bite. The only AMD GPU in the Steam charts is the 7900 XTX. No other model including the usually much higher volume midrangers appear on the list at all.

Has Nvidia paid off Valve? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!

Wow the 7900XTX is in Steam Charts. Once again you are using the narrative. Steam Charts are part of the problem.. Do you understand that a 4090 is 3 times the cost of of a 7900XTX. The only place AMD cards are declining is in your mind. Just because the narrative wants to make it seem like Nvidia are the only choice people are making does not mean that AMD cards are not selling. Asus is releasing this card and it will compete with budget options from As Rock and Gigabyte in price. That is where the traffic is in AMD GPUs.

Question, do you genuinely believe I actually hate AMD and want to see them gone? Come on, dude. It pains me greatly having to write what I do but it's simply the reality. It's not in my mind, you're exhibiting extreme denial but that won't help either.

From user statistics to AMD's earning reports the performance of Radeon not only has been in constant decline but the situation has never been worse. It's so bad that even mainstream outlets such as the PC Gamer magazine that aren't at all attuned to tech have published about it.

AMD's gaming graphics business looks like it's in terminal decline

There's no getting round it, the Radeon RX 7000 GPU family looks like a disaster.

www.pcgamer.com

I don't like when the only viable competitor loses this much steam, the only people who lose are us customers. Terminal decline is far more accurate a description than I'd ever like to admit.

I think they'll make it out of this jam, but I'm not exactly feeling any sense of duty or pride for "sticking to them through thick and thin", I am not a fan of a corporation, I'm a fan of great products. This generation is not good.

They have no love period, they all keep failing on GPUs and other products left and right. Its an exception if there is a full generation of GPU without any having issues.

I have yet to see Asrock fail like that, so far they're still on my whitelist. The other three I approach with extreme caution, though MSI leads among them in terms of trust/personal experience. Gigabyte is a definite no, and Asus with the recent RMA nonsense, is actually also a definite no now.

 

[Keullo-e]

TUF is probably the one to get the strix is just a straight cash grab

Agree, best bang for buck from Asus.

Read the PCgamer piece and its a whole lot of conjecture about nothing. Yes, console sales are down, no shit, people have them now, its called market saturation.

In terms of RX7000 there is nothing new here compared to a half year or a year ago. The situation has been what it is since Ada launch. Overall, even Nvidia has trouble selling. Free money's gone, interest rates are up, economy isn't in the greatest shape ever. The dead horse doesn't need more beating. So far, AMD is still delivering equal'ish' amounts of GPUs to the gaming market as Nvidia. They are still in touch with Nvidia's performance level. Perf watt isn't game breaking. Etc. There is a lot of good to be said about RDNA2/3, despite RDNA3's higher expectations.

RT is SO important, that people keep buying consoles. Don't overestimate its importance, its just your bubble saying its big.

AMD's GPU division ain't going away.

Once again the Steam Hardware chart should not be seen as an example of the market.

Tell me why the 6600 is still the best seller on Newegg. Is the 6600 in the Steam Charts?

Probably also my fav from Asus, at least I can't say anything bad about my TuF 3060 Ti's build quality/actually its kind of overkill for this GPU but I don't mind ofc. 'all metal and its very easy to take apart if needed so even I can't mess it up'

No matter who says what, GPP is alive and kicking. Much like Intel still buying out every single OEM worldwide, to secure strong positions. There's reason, AMD has yet to receive any compensation for the long in the tooth case of Athlon 64. As much as MS farting their feces of OS, that degrade in quality and functions eithe each next generation.

Radeon just isn't bringing in enough revenue for the big 3 to justify the retooling cost. That or AMD play favorite with their exclusive AIBs that the big 3 are not a fan of.

This maybe ture, but it's still flawed shit mentality. If the AIB intentionally does inferior product, which is significantly worse than rival chipmaker, it won't generate sales and profits. Neither for AIB, nor for GPU vendor. Moreover, this damages the GPU brand's reputation. As this is bad product, with bad reputation, and resellability. This inevitably leads to domination of one brand, while the other will never have the sales numbers, recognition, nor money. So some weak (fanboys inable to avoid their habit), and desperate people (who must get the nVidia CUDA for their job/work tasks), would stick with the "superior" product, tightening the "TIE"/noose even harder.

There is a difference between an inferior quality and a basic product. These cards are the latter, their downside is usually the ASUS tax. Hopefully W1zz will get one for review.

I also disagree with the GPP thing being alive and kicking. Nobody has any evidence to this. If we're going to make accusations as grave as that one, then we better have something to bring up to the negotiation table or we'll just look like sour losers.
