PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 XT Red Devil (RX 7900 XT 20G-E/OC)

The flagship model of the Radeon video card performed by Red Devil from PowerColor. Equipped with a powerful Navi 31 graphics processor with 5376 stream processors (RDNA 3.5 nm microarchitecture), equipped with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory with an effective frequency of 20,000 MHz and a 320-bit memory bus. It belongs to the high price segment and is designed for gamers who want maximum performance in games in 2K resolution, as well as for those who plan to play in 4K with minor reservations.

Thanks to its high power, it is also suitable for users who work with professional video editors, as well as graphic design and animation applications. Compared to flagship video cards of the previous generation, Radeon stands out due to higher performance, lower power consumption and slightly lower heat dissipation. Its direct competitors among NVIDIA GPUs are the top models GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4090.

It is a representative of the ascetic Red Devil series, in which the manufacturer does not care about design, lighting and other secondary things, instead focusing on power system power, GPU performance and efficiency cooling systems. Such an option is usually preferred by old-school gamers who saw the days of the second part of Quake and were not influenced by modern trends that dictate widespread backlighting.

Sapphire taught us this approach with its Nitro and Nitro+ GPUs. In the case of the PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 XT Red Devil, we are talking about an enhanced 14-phase power subsystem (three phases are designed to power the memory), a new cooling system with three 100 mm fans and six heat-conducting pipes. The video core is overclockable out of the box to 2535 MHz. Due to the dual BIOS system, the user can choose which mode the card is currently operating in - quiet or high-performance.

In quiet mode, the video card reduces the operating frequency by more than 200 MHz. Plus, the PowerColor Radeon RX 7900 XT Red Devil supports ray tracing and the FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) artificial image upscaling system. Both technologies are implemented at the software and hardware level, allowing you to simultaneously increase the realism of lighting, reflections and shadows, while at the same time increasing the average FPS through a unique artificial scaling system.
