PowerColor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 Graphics Card - £945.07 (cheaper with fee free card) @ Amazon Germany

VRAM has never been cheaper, this has a greedy tiny GPU chiplet (should have been at least 33% bigger) and runs as a furnace as a result. Power management is broken on chiplet RDNA3 (they had this issue for a year with RDNA1- RDNA2 was great from day one). Support outside new AAA games ain't great.

In other words, this is priced so disgustingly and unjustifiably high entirely on the back of Ngreedia's attempt to reprogram GPU prices. It blows my mind to think there is anyone so foolish as to lay down a grand for this work-in-progress tech. AMD has some truly amazing products, CPU, APU, GPU, coming next gen around the end of 2023 into 2024. This year's current stuff just ain't so good, and should be bought on price only if at all.

I would still pay 150 more for a 4080 but then both are grotesquely overpriced so looks like I am sitting this round out. Unless something interesting happens price wise.

Just returned a white one of these from overclockers, due to coil whine, I'm not overly sensitive to noise, but this thing sounded like I'd trapped a rattlesnake in my PC, it was excessive even by modern standards. Looking around after the fact, many of the user reviews for this card on amazon, and places like reddit complain of the same thing.

Here's a video, make sure you adjust your volume, so the mouse click noise sounds normal, and you'll hear roughly what I was hearing. This is running Final Fantasy XIV, locked to 144fps, 3440 x 1440, max settings. Far from taxing this card, I click into the game, then out for comparison.

Not going to vote hot or cold, as other than my subjective issues, this is a great price. (edited)

Imagine returning this would be expensive. Not worth the risk.

Almost enough vram to run the last of us at 1080p

Other than the returns process, is there any other issues purchasing from Germany?

that's a very fat boy

The 4080 is more efficient, has better upscaling, has frame generation, has way better ray tracing, way better driver support, all for an extra £160. The 7900XTX is a great card but it's overpriced compared to the competition.

That’s a great price. I returned the 7900 XT and I’m looking now maybe to get an XTX.

if it was the Red Devil I will jump to this like mad but I don’t like the aesthetics of the hellhound… I’ll think about it. In any case that’s OP!

how long till next gen? I cant support these stupid prices + awful performance.

Is it possible undervolt these cards to get much lower power/heat without losing too much performance? (edited)

the price has been at 1,029 on this for like 2 entire days OP, probably mark as expired.

The 8000 series is on the corner but I would pay £699 for this one without any rethink.

Says won’t ship to my destination (England).
