AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Review & GPU Benchmarks: Gaming, Thermals, Power, & Noise

This review and benchmark of the AMD RX 7900 XTX video card tests it vs. the NVIDIA RTX 4080, RTX 4090, RTX 3080, and last generation AMD RX 6950 XT and 6900 XT GPUs. Our review of the RX 7900 XT is coming up later, as is our tear-down of the RX 7900 XTX reference video card from AMD. Overall, the XTX is primarily interesting for its price positioning versus the RTX 4080. AMD was never going to beat the RTX 4090 with a $1000 card, and it doesn't. But it's also not anywhere close in price. The RTX 4080 at $1200 (at the time of filming) is the real fight for AMD's RX 7900 XTX. Our testing today included power transients, thermals, noise, and gaming benchmarks (both rasterization and ray tracing). The transients, voltage regulation, noise, and thermals need some work, but that's all on the AMD reference design -- it'll be up to partners to pull weight to fix those aspects.
