Who got a 7900XTX or 7900XT?

[Shmee]

Yup I am probably going to skip RDNA4. It may be a good value, but it would still most likely be a sidegrade compared to my 7900XTX. So no point for me to buy one really. Time will tell when I decide to upgrade again, but I can see waiting a few years.

I didn't think I'd pick up a 7900XTX honestly, but the performance jump from the 6900XT was considerable enough for me to source one. Having said that, though, I couldn't tell you when the next GPU upgrade for me might be. Many contributing factors, none of them of the optimistic variety.

Late last year I set out to purchase a GPU with a clear use case in mind: to use a multiseat software to run two instances of Palworld at 1080p@60 native.
Multiseat uses less VRAM than virtualization since OS stuff is allocated only once (and is easier to setup), but game assets still get duplicated.
At high quality settings, Palworld uses about 6GB, so no 12GB nonsense card would do.
I decided to get a 7900XT and so far it works very well for the original purpose. You have to limit FPS for both players otherwise one of them stutters like mad. The card has enough grunt that I can even stretch it to 1080p@90+1080p@60 or even 1440p@60+1080p@60.
Most of the time my daughter plays Roblox in 4k@60 which is so light that I can play pretty much anything at 1440p@60 (e.g. Control, Stray, PoE2) simultaneously without issues.
My only complaints so far are the high power consumption in light gaming scenarios and some video-decoding related crashes in Firefox. Temperatures, noise, compatibility, everything else is great.
God, playing in native 4K is really something else, I had forgotten how upscaling and TAA botches IQ!

i've seen the crashes in FF as its my primary browser. I use edge as my 2nd browser and it doesn't happen there so its specific to FF. Hoping it gets addressed in a driver update soon.

So did i forget anything? I know none of it is great...

so I'm looking at upgrading my gpu. The one I’ve got is almost too loud so I'm gonna have to go water. This is a gpu only loop. I’ve got room for up to 4 240s. This one is only two. I figure 4 120s @30mm is enough for 1 gpu. the cpu is a 12700 nonk and has an overkill air cooler on it atm...

This guy can push 1200W through his 7900 XTX and it's astounding that the chip does not die.

Nor melted connectors.

@DrMrLordX , for the love of all that is dear to us, please tell me that your 7900 XTX card is finally alive.

Which software?

 

[cherullo]

It's Ibik Aster. Setup is finicky but performance overall is great on AMD hardware - I had it working previously very well on a Radeon 5700 with a Ryzen 3600. If you're interested, ping me on an on-topic thread and I'll gladly share my experience.

Oh it's never been dead. Lol. Umm i'll get back with you in a few weeks, maybe.
