last week AMD launched their new
graphics cards and I already reviewed
the RX 7900 XTX so today I'm going to
talk about this RX 7900 XT now I did not
have a chance to test the reference card
but I do have this tough gaming model
from Asus and while I do think that AMD
has done a great job at creating
high-end graphics cards and bringing
some well needed competition to the
market I also think that there are
plenty of things that still need a bit
of work and that should be improved so
I'm going to take a bit of a different
approach today and I'm going to talk
about my issues with this 7900 XT let's
go this video is brought to you by
Corsair and their brand new Dominator
Platinum RGB memory these super fast
ddr5 6000 Hertz memory kits are
specifically made for ryzen 7000 series
CPUs they feature a stylish aluminum
heat spreader with dhx technology that
keeps them nice and cool under load
offering a smooth and stable performance
with a lot out of room for overclocking
and they come with 12 customizable
kapelix LEDs that you can control with
their IQ software and easily sync up
with your other coarser components check
them out using the links in the
description below one of the first and
most obvious issues I had with this card
is its name the RX 7900 XT sounds very
similar to the 7900 XTX even though when
we look at the specs you can see that
they are vastly different the XCX has
more cores higher clock speeds more
memory and a bigger memory bus than the
XT and I don't think that removing One X
at the end of the product name is enough
to distinguish and obviously lower tier
card from a higher tier one it just
causes a lot of confusion especially for
the less informed consumers that might
think that they are buying a very
similar product for a hundred dollars
less which is definitely not the case
here now Nvidia received a lot of
criticism for their 4086 16 gig and 4080
12 gig cards and AMD here is pretty much
doing the same thing the XT is more than
15 slower than the xdx and they should
have called it a 7800 XT or at least a
7900 without any X's just to make it a
bit more obvious to everyone and that
brings me to my next issue the relative
performance because the XT is priced so
closely to the XTX its performance
should also be at a close distance
compared to the xdx and that is
definitely not the case here so the xt's
recommended price is only 10 lower than
the xdx but when it comes to Performance
the XTX is 16 faster than the XD and
keep in mind I was using the relatively
fast third-party version of the XT so
for 100 more you can get a card that is
16 faster and if you already decided to
spend 900 on a GPU upgrading to dxdx for
a hundred dollars more just seems like a
logical choice and that pressure from
the relative performance is a bit of a
shame because in absolute terms the XT
is a pretty powerful chip at 1440p
resolution it shows a great High refresh
rate experience in every game I've
tested and most games will easily run at
144 FPS or above but even the heaviest
titles like Dying Light 2 and cyberpunk
2077 for example will get pretty close
to that at 4K resolution the XC does
well offering that 4K 120 experience in
lighter titles and 60-ish FPS or above
in heavier games amd's FSR has also been
adopted by a lot of game developers so
for the titles that do support it this
7900 XT is actually a very capable 4K
gaming card as well but should you buy a
much stronger XTX for 100 more
absolutely now the next issue I had was
performance inconsistency when testing
Call of Duty Modern Warfare we were
getting really inconsistent results so
one moment the XT would be running at
around 2400 megahertz showing FPS
numbers that kind of fall in line with
other cards but during some other runs
it would suddenly boost much higher
somewhere closer to 2 900 megahertz
which would result in a much higher
average FPS and which would put it above
the RTX 4090 and the 7900 XDS and there
was absolutely no logic behind it so it
was the same system same settings no
updates in between the CPU wasn't
throttling or anything else that we can
think of actually so every time we
reboot the PC it would act differently
for no clear reason now in this
particular game it doesn't really matter
as much because in the worst case
scenario it was close to an RTX 4090 and
in the best case scenario it was
actually beating it which is definitely
not bad for a GPU that costs half as
much but seeing this inconsistent
Behavior always causes doubt whether
everything is working well as it should
and what kind of an impact does it have
in titles where this card was not doing
as well but AMD has been on top of this
since I mentioned it and they are trying
to figure it out but there are no clear
answers just yet now hopefully they will
come up with a driver update that will
stabilize this situation a bit more now
my next issue is a really noticeable one
coil line in my review of the XTX I
mentioned that my reference card had
some coil line now coil wine is mostly
sample specific and then it is often
specific to certain games or super high
FPS gameplay but the XT here had a
noticeable amount of coal wine regularly
and since the launch a lot of reviewers
as well as people who bought their cards
frequently mentioned coil wine too both
in reference cards as well as third
party cards so this tough gaming from
Asus doesn't always whine but it does
sit pretty frequently and since the
sound often changes depending on what's
going on with your PC it is way more
noticeable than if it was just a
consistent tone I did manage to test the
thermal and noise performance at one
point where it wasn't whining and this
oversized tough cooler performed
extremely well barely going over 50
degrees with almost no noise at all and
even though this should be a great
cooler design it is only quiet sometimes
the other times it is just super whiny
and given the fact that these reports
are so widespread with all sorts of
Radeon cards it just feels like this is
something that AMD really needs to work
on my next issue is the power
consumption especially in idle when
having multiple monitors connected to
your cart if I just connect a single
monitor power consumption is completely
fine with a single watt of a difference
between the 4080 and this 7900 XD but
when connecting two monitors so I had
one 4K 120 hertz one and one 4K 60hz one
the power consumption on the XT went up
by a lot it was 15 watts higher than the
4080 and I would say that is a
significant change now depending on how
much you pay for your electricity and
how many hours you have your monitors on
per day this could really add up quickly
now supposedly this should get fixed
with the next driver so I will put an
update in the comment under this video
once I learn more about this
but perhaps the biggest issue right now
is the supply and pricing before these
cards launch there were plenty of posts
saying that there should be plenty of
stock and that the prices should be as
promised but in reality the supply so
far hasn't been as good it will vary per
region but if I look at the Netherlands
I haven't seen a single xdx listed at
any reputable retailer and even the XT
which had more critical reviews overall
has been really hard to find most shops
I spoke to told me that they have no
clear indication of stock on any Radeon
cards at this point and the couple shops
that did list the XT seem to have very
limited stock and they're selling them
at very high prices so right now the
cheapest one I can find is at 1300 Euros
which is 250 euros over the MSRP and
only about 150 Euros less than a 4080
and a 4080 is faster has stronger Ray
tracing performance and it is more power
efficient and I think all this was much
worse because of the hype that followed
the AMD launch and the belief that there
might actually be some stock or that the
prices might actually stay down anyway
the launch was definitely a bit shaky
but it is important to remember that
most of the things I mentioned today are
absolutely fixable and that was the
reason of making this video because I
know know that AMD cares about criticism
and that they do want to fix things for
the end users at least the things that
can be fixed because as I said before
the absolute performance of this 7900 XT
is quite good and the only way to fix
their relative performance is to lower
the price because if it gets
significantly cheaper I'm sure that most
of us just would not care about the
confusing name business or the fact that
it is boosting a bit higher one day and
then a bit lower the next now the coil
wine is a bit more complicated to fix
especially for the cars that already
love the factory but for future batches
that too is definitely fixable and they
definitely should fix it because the GPU
Market is so competitive and even a
single downside like coil wine for
example can make a big difference at the
end of the day now that is all I have
for today I hope this video was
interesting enough let me know in the

Title: My Honest Take on the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT: A Powerful Card with Room for Improvement
Last week, AMD made waves in the tech world with the launch of their new graphics cards, specifically the RX 7900 XTX. As a tech enthusiast and content creator, I was excited to get my hands on the latest offering from AMD. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I wasn't able to test the reference card. Instead, I've had the opportunity to review the Asus model of the RX 7900 XT.
Before we dive into the specifics of my review, I want to acknowledge AMD's success in creating high-end graphics cards and bringing some much-needed competition to the market. The graphics card landscape has been dominated by Nvidia for quite some time, and AMD's entry into the high-end market is a welcome change.
That being said, I also think that there are plenty of things that still need improvement with the RX 7900 XT. One of the most significant issues is the card's name and the confusion it causes for consumers. The XT model shares a similar name to the XTX, despite significant differences in specs. The XT has fewer cores, lower clock speeds, less memory, and a smaller memory bus than the XTX. AMD is pretty much doing the same thing Nvidia did with their controversial 4086 16 gig and 4080 12 gig cards. For 100 more, you can get a card that is 16 faster.

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare, for instance, the card's performance was inconsistent, with one moment showing FPS numbers that align with other cards, and the next moment boosting much higher, outperforming the RTX 4090 and RTX 7900 XT. Every time we rebooted the PC, the XT acted differently for no clear reason. Seeing this inconsistent behavior always causes doubt whether everything is working well as it should.
Additionally, the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card can produce coil whine, which is more noticeable due to its variable sound. This TUF Gaming from Asus doesn't always whine, but it does sit pretty frequently. And since the sound often changes depending on what's going on with your PC, it is way more noticeable than if it was just a consistent tone.
The oversized cooler on the TUF Gaming RX 7900 XT performs well when it's not whining, maintaining temperatures below 50 degrees with minimal noise. I managed to test the thermal and noise performance at one point where it wasn't whining, and this oversized Tough Cooler performed extremely well, barely going over 50 degrees with almost no noise at all.
However, there are a few other issues that need addressing. Power consumption is higher when using multiple monitors with the Radeon RX 7900 XT, leading to increased electricity costs. When connecting two monitors, the power consumption on the XT went up by a lot, 15 watts higher than the 4080.

But for future batches, that too is definitely fixable.
In conclusion, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is a powerful card with room for improvement. It offers a great high refresh rate experience at 1440p resolution and is capable of 4K gaming with FSR support.
