XFX Speedster QICK319 RX 7800 XT CORE Gaming Graphics Card 16GB GDDR6 HDMI 3xDP, AMD RDNA 3 RX-78TQICKF9

It seems like there are very few written reviews for the 7000 series GPUs. Maybe that's normal for AMD. Either way, I want to share some info to make sure others have a smooth experience. I came over from the green team, specifically, an EVGA GTX 1070 SC. That card is getting long in the tooth, doesn't have a lot of the more modern features, and definitely struggled with newer AAA games.Getting right to it, this XFX 7800XT has been doing a great job. I tried Hogwarts Legacy on ultra with raytracing. That was stuttery, so I played around and could get pretty solid performance on high settings. I disabled ray tracing expecting much worse visuals. Honestly, I think RT is overhyped. I'll take all ultra settings with no ray tracing and smooth performance any day. Maybe RT is poorly implemented on Hogwarts? I didn't expect to see things like hanging spoon shadows in shops rendered well, but they were there without RT. The card itself has stayed cool and quiet. I haven't noticed it being any louder the the 1070 it replaced.I promised tips, and I feel these are very important. If you're swapping from nvidia, it's recommended to use DDU - Display Driver Uninstaller. I'll assume you're a Windows user for these tips.-First, make sure to check Windows Update for any system updates. Give the computer a reboot to make sure everything is installed and working before doing driver surgery.-Download DDU (it's free) and the AMD drivers.-Click Start, click the power icon, then hold shift while clicking reboot --> advanced options. Most tutorials show a blue screen with options right after clicking reboot. That must have changed recently because my safe mode options were the first thing I saw after it rebooted.-The goal is to reboot into safe mode *without networking*.-Run DDU to nuke all remnants of nvidia drivers. Make sure to tick the box that will reboot after its done. Windows will reboot, using a generic video driver.-Install the AMD drivers/Adrenaline software-Careful running Windows updates - Microsoft seems to think it knows best and installed a driver over the one I just installed, causing Adrenaline to be missing update buttons. If this happens, open device manager, double click the AMD display driver, go to the Driver tab, roll back driver. Your update buttons in Adrenaline should be back.VR tips (assuming Oculus 2 using AirLink)-Firstly, you may want to just use Virtual Desktop Streamer. In some (probably most) cases it's better than Air Link. I read that Virtual Desktop keeps GPU power draw up when not in use, so you might want to close that when done.-For Air Link, I experienced weird warping or distortion. The Oculus Debug tool can fix this (or did for me). Even with these steps, the Oculus software will complain that you're using an unsupported GPU - ignore the warning.-Find the Oculus Debug Tool - by default it is in C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics-Someone on reddit said warping had something to do with needing an Encode Resolution Width that is a multiple of 64. The value they cited (and I used) is 3712.-While you're in the debug tool, set video codec to H.265 - this helped with color banding in Beat Saber.-Click into another field in the debug tool for the tool to save what you entered. If you just enter the text and close, it won't save.TADA! You should be up and running! I've only had the card for a week or so, but after getting these things ironed out in day one, it's not been a problem at all. Even streaming to my Steam Deck in the living room via Moonlight/Sunshine has been 100% fine. I don't usually write reviews, but I'm rooting for AMD (even if they're *still* a bit over priced). I also hope these troubleshooting steps being in one place might help another person. If I notice anything horrible with the experience in the coming months, I'll post an update.

As a first time builder I'm glad I picked this for my GPU. An absolute beast that can crush most games in 1080 and 1440 in high settings at over 90+fps

Great card for a great price. This card is a 1440p beast and runs through most games at 1440p while maintaining high frame rates. I can easily say I recommend this card for raw performance. Great card from AMD!

I built a gaming pc for my son’s birthday 2 years ago and being the height of Covid bitcoin mining ended up having to spend nearly 1000 bucks on the Radeon 6700 graphics card. At the time it was a middle of the road card and was WAY overpriced for what you got. Well things have calmed down in the graphics card market since then and I wanted to get a nice upgrade for his computer without spending another band to do so. I chose this Radeon 7800 which is also not top of the line but seemed to offer reasonable frame rate increases as well as having 4gb more ram on card. I installed the card this weekend and noticed a few things right off the bat:1) the card is quieter2) the picture quality on most games/webpagesetc is vastly improved with much better contrast and black/dark colors standing out much better3) frame rates are better but not as much as expected.4) the card uses less power than the 6700So while this is not the top of the line card and did not quite push as many pixels as expected it is a great upgrade especially for around 450 bucks.The card itself is slightly larger than the 6700 and barely fit in my son’s full size gaming tower case so smaller cases may not fit this card. It is built well and has a nice sturdy heat sink and is finished in a nice anodized black color.

I had heard great things about this card and for the price in the current market i thought it was a no brainer.Unfortunately it was heart broken when i started up my first game. Stutters galore, flatline 1lows, totally unstable frame rates, and good god the coil whine. Spent days reinstalling driver, reset PC, replaced Display port cables, clearned cmos all the works to no avail.Maybe it was just a bad card but i wouldnt buy it again.

Todo funciona correctamente, un rendimiento de alta tasa de refresco para 1080p y un rendimiento excelente en 1440p.Quizás algo más grande de lo que esperaba por lo que recomiendo verificar si el gabinete soporta una gráfica de este tamaño.Update, he estado jugando al silent hill 2 remake con una mezcla de ajustes altos y ultras y ray traicing activo a 1440p con FSR 3 calidad y frame Generation o interpolacion de cuadros y el juego ronda los 90 - 110 FPS promedio a veces mas a veces menos dependiendo de la zona, carga gráfica y enemigos en pantalla. Una experiencia muy buena y fluida en configuración stock. También lo he jugando con undervolt y underclok del 10% más o menos y es de esperar una caída en el rendimiento, por lo que es posible que si se quiere mantener el ray traicing usar un reescalado mas agresivo como balanceado o jugar un poco con algunos ajustes graficos pero aun sigue siendo una experiencia realmente disfrutable. En tema de temperaturas no he visto la tarjeta superar los 80 grados para el hotspot y 60-70 grados para el chip eso con los ventiladores con unos 500 a 900 rpm dependiendo del calor de la gpu temperatura ambiente en promedio de 28 a 32 grados por lo que es una gpu muy muy fresca con un diseño de disipación térmica muy robusto. Una compra excelente para gaming.

Worked without issue! Worth every penny.

I ordered this graphics card for a new PC I was building. Seemed like a good price for a solid video card. I ordered it on March 22, but it didn't ship until April 13! Delivered April 15. Everything else arrived in 2 days so I was left waiting on this component to finish the build. It's a great card, but 3 weeks is way too long! What am I paying for Amazon Prime for?
