The Radeon RX 7900 XTX Gaming OC from Gigabyte is among the more affordable models which are rarely reviewed. Manufacturers lower production costs mainly by reducing the size of the heatsink. As a result, these cards don’t perform as well as premium high-end models in thermal and acoustic tests. However, their lower price makes them popular not only with individual buyers but also OEMs assembling prebuilt PCs.
The frame rate dropped by only 0.3 fps compared to OC mode.
The chip’s clock speed is at an average 2673 MHz.
The card’s power consumption remains at the set limit, with the build’s average power draw differing only by tenths of a watt.
The average temperatures of the GPU and memory are still excellent, but the hotspot reaches 96°C. As a result, fan speeds and cooler noise levels are higher, reaching around 45 dBA – which is worse than average.
Values around 1380 rpm mean a noise level of 33.8 dBA, which is great for such a powerful card, it’s better than a lot of cards with much lower performance and power consumption.
