Taking a look at the anticipated GPU from AMD Radeon, the RX7900XT & RX7900XTX, how does it perform? Will it actually be able to handle 4k & Ray Tracing gaming? Do I need a new PSU for this GPU? All will be answered for this review, enjoy!

RX7900XT 

AMD launched the Radeon RX 7900 XT on November 3rd, 2022, positioning it as an enthusiast-class graphics card. Built on the 5 nm process, the card is based on the Navi 31 graphics processor, specifically the Navi 31 XT variant. With DirectX 12 Ultimate support, the Radeon RX 7900 XT ensures compatibility with modern games and guarantees future support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading, and other advanced features.

The Navi 31 graphics processor is a large chip, featuring a die area of 529 mm² and 57,700 million transistors. While the fully unlocked Radeon RX 7900 XTX utilizes the same GPU with all 6144 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon RX 7900 XT to achieve the target shader count. It is equipped with 5376 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 192 ROPs. Additionally, the card includes 84 raytracing acceleration cores.

In terms of memory, AMD has paired the Radeon RX 7900 XT with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory, connected through a 320-bit memory interface. The GPU operates at a frequency of 1500 MHz, with a boost clock of up to 2394 MHz. The memory runs at 2500 MHz (20 Gbps effective).

For power consumption, the Radeon RX 7900 XT requires two 8-pin power connectors and has a maximum power draw of 300 W. Display outputs include one HDMI 2.1a port, two DisplayPort 2.1 ports, and one USB Type-C port. The card utilizes a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface to connect to the rest of the system. Its dimensions are 276 mm x 110 mm x 51 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution.
