Are you having Hotspot Issues with your RX 7900 XT/XTX?

[las]

Yeah I would love to see a RGB/LED OFF switch on cards, just like many have Normal/Quiet switch now. Or at least onboard memory, so it remembers the OFF setting when 3rd party program is NOT RUNNING.

Since I don't own an RX 7900 XT(X) and "I don't own one" wasn't an option, the only honest answer was "no".

I don't own one and since a poll option didn't exist that catered to me, the only honest answer I could provide was not to vote at all.

I seriously doubt the usefulness of the results of this poll. Too many trolls on both sides of the story.

Yeah I prefer non-RGB non-gimmick cards.

Sapphire Nitro cards is ugly as hell, for example.

They all pretty much run the same, so design is the only thing that matters to me, however I check if cooling and temps are decent when I find a design I like.

You buy a card based on the chip that is on it. No card will be much faster than the other, when chip is identical. So why would I choose the ugly card..

Nvidia have way better designs in general. Most RDNA3 AIB designs seems rushed so far. Looking forward to MSI designs, at least they spent some time on them

It's almost like AMD don't want to sell RDNA3 with the prices they have.

AMD should just reuse the industrial design of the Vega series or Radeon 7 just with better cooling.

Wow, almost 5 thousand people bought a RDNA3 card on this forum alone. I guess I lower my hopes for saner prices for a while longer

I have an XFX Merc 310 RX 7900 XT BLACK. This is an AIB card with an excellent cooler. It’s the same board and cooler as the XTX version and carries a factory overclock.

I’ve had nothing but problems with ATI/AMD cards since rage 128. Each generation, I wanted to support ATI, being Canadian and I’d buy an ATI/AMD card. I’d love the AIW ones in particular. I had SO MANY driver problems with each ATI/AMD card they ALL went back to the store during the return period and I ended up happily using Nvidia cards for the rest of the generation only to start the cycle again next generation.
So, I’m someone who wanted to love AMD GPUs but found the drivers unacceptable.

more recently, I got an 580 an had black screen issues so it went back. Ended up on RTX2000 series with no trouble. Darn.

starting the cycle again, I got my son an RX6600 for my son’s system and guess what? It’s fine. We used it heavily all through the return period and it was great. AMD had finally gotten its poop in a group.

So, being time to upgrade my RTX2000 series, I impulse bought this great XFX model of the RX7900XT.

its similarly great. No problems to report at all. Hwinfo64 shows power usage has dropped since the the launch driver but I’ve never had any issues or any kind with it.

Well, sort of. My Seasonic 650watt wasn’t up to the task and the system would shut off on a stress test. Replacing the power supply with an 850 watt unit immediately solved that problem so obviously that’s not the GPU’s fault.

colour me surprised and pleased. RDNA 2 and 3 have been great for me.

do get a quality aib card, though.

edit; I should ad that under stress test like furmark, I got a GPU temp in the 60s and the highest Tjunc temp or hot spot reported is only 79c. It runs quite quietly too.

Wow 1700 buyers have had issues? And 3700 buyers haven't?

Somehow I doubt 5000+ people on these forums alone got their hands on a 7900, and you can tell from the comments alone that at least some for sure don't own the card and voted anyway which is misleading at best, skewing the results to either paint AMD in a better or worse light depending on their tastes, and some don't one the MBA variant and had other issues so they voted anyway.

I doubt that many were involved and saner prices got trounced years ago.

It's a example IMHO of the Nvidia Troll ratio at TPU.

11% return rate only on 7900 XTX MBA.

All other versions normal.

TPU land it's 3X the amount of which a fair portion couldn't read to save their life and voted while not even owning one.
