This subsection of our review highlights the main aspects of the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition (TUF-RX7900XT-O20G-GAMING), such as appearance and hardware configuration.
| APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS |
The video card came to us without the original packaging, so to speak, in “what the mother gave birth.” The video card is quite large in size with an impressive cooling system.
The ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition video card occupies only 3,5 PCI-E slots, which is currently the standard for the top segment; combating heat and noise is now at the forefront of manufacturers.
On the side we have all 3 8-pin additional power connectors. Fans of extreme modes should like it.
The video card has 4 video outputs – 1 HDMI and 3 DisplayPort.
The video card can also boast six heat pipes that effectively transfer heat to a massive radiator.
On the reverse side of the back plate of the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition has a cutout to provide better airflow through the radiator array. Also on the reverse side we see a BIOS video cards switch, which allows you to switch between quiet mode and performance mode.
Compared to its older sister ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX with a reference design, the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition video card looks like a real Goliath, completely eclipsing it with its dimensions.
ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition is even larger than the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM X – the dimensions of the card are truly impressive!
ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XT is built on RDNA 3 with 5376 cores. The frequency limit of this instance is 2498 MHz, but in games it sometimes reaches 2850 MHz. The video card received 20 GB of GDDR6X memory with a frequency. Memory bandwidth is 0,8 TB/s.

| HEATING AND POWER CONSUMPTION |
As for overclocking, in our opinion, the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition does not benefit much from overclocking, as in the case of the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX – the frequency in games is automatically set by the video card itself.
The ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XT gluttony test was carried out in conjunction with an Intel Core i9 13900K 3.2 GHz + Z690 AORUS MASTER in a closed Thermaltake Core V51 case:
In “Donut” in stock mode, the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition shows 59 degrees, consumption is 332 Watts. The system consumes about 498 watts from the outlet. IN Cyberpunk 2077 in stock mode, the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition also shows 59 degrees, consumption 329 watts. The system consumes about 485 watts from the outlet.
Now let’s put these temperature and energy consumption indicators into tables, with the results we obtained earlier:
As we can see, in FurMark the power consumption of the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition card is similar to the consumption in the games themselves.
The temperature regime of the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition card is also the same in both modes. Temperatures are simply excellent! It is worth noting that under load the card is almost silent…
