Review and testing of the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card
In our test, this time, the top-end video card from ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX , kindly provided to us by ASUS , is participating . . This video card is based on the RDNA 3 architecture, operates at a frequency of 2500 MHz and has 24 gigabytes of video memory.
| APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS |
This subsection of our review reveals the main aspects of the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX, such as appearance and hardware configuration.
| APPEARANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS |
The ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX comes in a very compact package.
The video card looks very stylish - matte black gloss suits her.
The ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card takes up only 2.5 PCI-E slots, which is very rare these days...
On the side we have only 2 8-pin auxiliary power connectors ..
The video card has 4 video outputs - 1 HDMI and 2 DisplayPort. There is also one USB Type C.
On the reverse side, the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX has a solid black plate.
ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX compared to MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM X looks like a real "many".
ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX is built on RDNA 3 with 6144 cores. The frequency limit of this instance is 2498 MHz, but in games it sometimes reaches 3000 MHz. The video card received 24 GB of GDDR6X memory with a frequency. The memory bandwidth is 0.959 TB/s.

| HEATING AND POWER CONSUMPTION |
As for overclocking, in our opinion, the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX is better not to drive yet, there is no profit from overclocking - the frequency in games is automatically set by the video card itself. The only thing that can be achieved by overclocking is an increase in power consumption.
Gluttony test ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX was carried out in conjunction with Intel Core i9 13900K 3.2 GHz + Z690 AORUS MASTER in a closed case Thermaltake Core V51:
In the "Donut" in the stock mode, the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX shows 65 degrees, the consumption is 351 watts. From the outlet, the system consumes about 517 watts. In Cyberpunk 2077 in stock mode, the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX also shows 65 degrees, consuming 358 watts. From the outlet, the system consumes about 583 watts.
Now let's summarize these temperature and power consumption indicators in tables, with the results we obtained earlier:
As we can see, in FurMark, the power consumption of the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX is similar to the consumption in games.
The temperature regime of the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX card is the same in both modes, but the frequency in the "donut" is 2200 MHz, and in games 2500-3000 MHz.

In Horizon Zero Dawn, the performance of the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX is on par with the GeForce RTX 4080.
| Cyberpunk 2077 |
Testing took place at maximum quality settings and with ray tracing. Our test section.
In Cyberpunk 2077, the performance of the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX gets tired even of the GeForce RTX 3080 ...
| Need for Speed Unbound |
Testing took place at maximum quality settings and with ray tracing. Our test section.
In NFS, the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX outperforms the GeForce RTX 4080 .
| Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition |
Testing took place at maximum quality settings and with ray tracing. The test was carried out in the benchmark.
In the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, the performance of the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX also leaves much to be desired.
| God of War |
Testing took place at maximum + quality settings with DLSS. Our test section.
In God of War, once again, the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX is on par with the GeForce RTX 4080. .
| Assassin's Creed Valhalla |
Testing was carried out at maximum quality settings. Our test section.
In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX almost catches up with the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM X.
| ELDEN RING |
Testing took place at maximum quality settings (with ray tracing) . Our test section.
In this game, ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX is also at the level of GeForce RTX 4080 .
| CONCLUSION |
Well, based on testing the ASUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX, we can conclude that the video card turned out to be very interesting, although it has a reference design. The model itself is quite compact, and will fit most cases, unlike NVIDIA flagships. At the same time, the temperature regime is quite comfortable and, with proper cooling of the case, does not exceed the temperature of the graphics processor does not exceed 65 °C.
But, nevertheless, the software of the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, in my opinion, is still quite raw and requires some improvement. Perhaps after a while with new versions of the drivers, the card will show more impressive results and the performance level will catch up to the GeForce RTX 4090 - it has a backlog for this.
In the meantime, in games without ray tracing, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX shows the performance level of the GeForce RTX 4080, and with ray tracing, the level of the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. And although many users expected more worthy competition from NVIDIA products from AMD, we got what we have at the end.
Advantages
- good performance without RT
- compact size and good temperature conditions
Disadvantages
- performance in RT is at the level of the top competitor of the previous generation
