Superb card
Personally, I think it's by far the best card to have been installed in 25 years!
- Perfect design
- Meticulous aesthetics.
- Much better thermal design than most of the competition. Enclosed box with 1 fan extracting air directly from the tower and the other fan passing through and sending air directly to the water cooling extraction system.
Performance (coupled with an I5 13600 KF, 2K display) :
- Excellent, and at the same time, at the retail price, it's the least I can do ;o)
- Clearly superior to my previous 7900XT.
- Reversed the proc bottleneck. On Helldivers 2, I went from 80% load on the proc to 5% on average.
- Haven't managed to make it break down yet...
By the way, I'd like to give a big +++ to the thermal design, which has enabled me to lower :
- The general temperature inside the case.
- By at LEAST 10°C on all the SSD, VRM and chipset components (which were becoming more unstable by exceeding 60°C).
- Noise pollution due to ventilation (less heating of all components, including the processor, which gained an average of 80% load over 4 games).
In short, you'll have understood that I'm extremely satisfied.
We can always say is the price justified ??? Maybe it's justified in terms of funding research and product development...
But it's still hard to find faults apart from the price, so I'll leave you to ponder...
