R1

The short version

The Pulse RX 7900 XTX is a 2.7-slot, 313 mm RDNA 3 card with 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 384-bit bus and a boost clock of up to 2525 MHz. Sapphire rates the board at 370 W and asks for an 800 W supply with three 8-pin connectors. It offers a large VRAM pool, but it is an older architecture than the RX 9070 series.

Pros

  • 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 384-bit bus
  • Metal backplate and dual-ball-bearing fans
  • DisplayPort 2.1 support
  • Unusually large VRAM pool for creative and AI work

Cons

  • 370 W board power and three 8-pin connectors
  • Older RDNA 3 architecture
  • Success of the RX 9000 series has made this a legacy part

Best for

  • Buyers who prioritise VRAM capacity
  • Large cases with an 800 W supply
