XFX Rolls Out Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phoenix Nirvana Graphics Card

XFX over the weekend rolled out the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phoenix Nirvana graphics card, the company's new flagship custom-design product based on fastest AMD Radeon GPU you can buy. From the looks of it, the card is China-exclusive, as we haven't seen any updates from the European or North American arms of XFX showcase this card. The Phoenix Nirvana is noticeably larger than the company's current MERC 310, and features a 4-slot design, with a significantly heavier heatsink. The card is 34.6 cm long, 13 cm tall, and is 4 slots thick.

The star attraction with this card is its large aluminium fin-stack heatsink, which features 216 aluminium fins for a total of 62.586 mm² of surface area for heat dissipation; six copper heatpipes, a vapor-chamber base, and 15,000 W/mK Honeywell PTM 7950 phase-changing thermal pad between the vapor-chamber and the GPU. Each of the three 100 mm fans of the XFX RX 7900 XTX Phoenix Nirvana features a fluid-dynamic bearing, turns at speeds of up to 3,200 RPM, pushing 70.08 CFM of airflow, at 4.88 mm H₂O, each. The card is priced at ¥7,899 in China, which converts to roughly $1,090.

This looks so stupendously large because the shroud is really tall for some reason. What's the point of this when the heatsink is not actually substantially larger ?

I wanted to make a Kurt Cobain joke but couldn't think of how to pull it off.
Vayra86Great, now we know what this card's coil whine sounds like

Afaik, a 7900XTX does not need nor benefit from, having a triple slot cooler, so in other words pointless.

Hopefully China exclusivity is just for testing quality and demand and this will be launched world wide. I've been hoping to see an 8900XT and his gpu cooler was roumored to be prepared for the 8900XT. So it's only suiting that I buy this GPU until 9900XT comes out.

Perhaps a Chinese interpretation of 'Its not about the size, but what you do with it'?

The stock cooler is capable of handling that, this much larger cooler is nothing more than a marketing ploy... "bigga coola = moar powa..."

Does it matter that the cooler is overkill?

They never learnt that so powerful cards must be water cooled from the get go. It's ugly to look at those oversized sagging behemoths.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... ;) .

Not everybody is a fan of watercooling, but I get you. Would have been my choice also
