XFX Launches Phoenix Nirvana Series Radeon RX Graphics Cards in White

XFX earlier this month debuted the Phoenix Nirvana line of premium custom-design Radeon RX 7900 series graphics cards with the China-exclusive RX 7900 XTX Phoenix Nirvana. The company is expanding this lineup with two new models, both of which are draped in white. These are the company's first white-themed graphics cards. The lineup now includes the Radeon RX 7800 XT Phoenix Nirvana White, and the RX 7900 GRE Phoenix Nirvana White. Both cards appear to share a common board design, because the compacted "Navi 31" ASIC powering the RX 7900 GRE is pin-compatible with the "Navi 32" ASIC that the RX 7800 XT is based on. Since both GPUs feature a 256-bit GDDR6 memory interface, and a nearly identical typical board power value of around 260 W, AMD's board partners get to use their RX 7800 XT custom board designs for RX 7900 GRE products.

The XFX RX 7900 GRE Phoenix Nirvana White features a significantly different board design to the company's Merc 319 product that's available in the west. The heatsink is noticeably larger, the cooler shroud appears better ventilated, and XFX is using thicker 100 mm fans for higher static pressure than from the ones you find in the global Merc 319 card. The most striking design element of course is its color trim. White makes up the cooler shroud, the fan impellers, and the backplate. The heatsink protrudes out of the edges of the black PCB that's barely noticeable. The card is 33.7 cm long, and 5.9 cm-thick, with a 13.2 cm height. The RX 7900 GRE Phoenix Nirvana White comes with a hearty 6.7% factory overclock, with a 2394 MHz boost clock (vs. 2245 MHz reference); while the RX 7800 XT Phoenix Nirvana White ticks AMD reference 2430 MHz boost. Both these cards, unfortunately, are China-exclusive products, just like the RX 7900 XTX card XFX launched earlier this month.

Bad business practices by nvidia led to EVGA and XFX stopping the cooperation with it, so I would hope more companies will follow this example...

Too bad for the white themed purists (no racial pun intended mind you) that the PCB is still black, but other than that great to have the choice.
The fan blades however look a little different shaped compared to their black counterparts I think (not sure as I own only a previous gen XFX card). Hope they are as silent and well perfoming.

Based on pictures doesn't look bigger than the current ones.

"China-exclusive"

Why is this news here? Got me all excited for nothing. I guess it's still between a white Zotac 4080 Super and a white ASRock 7900 XTX Taichi.

That's perfect....glad they held back and didn't include any red accents...I still have PTSD from the red & black "gamer aesthetic" PC brands forced on us at gun point circa 2015......the Asus ROG X79 Rampage IV Extreme and X99 Rampage V Extreme motherboards are the epitome of this

The amount of new AIB designs being launched this late in the generation is... unsettling

Some time ago on TPU I saw someone say that black paint absorbs more heat; so they'll probably need to have a more efficient fan there.

:p

That's not entirely true, nVidia cut off XFX in retaliation to XFX launching AMD cards which itself was a response to nVidia playing favorites and allocating more GPUs to certain partners(evga was in this group ) and less to others effectively cutting them off (xfx, bfg, and one other in this group). EVGA said exiting wasn't financial and is because their relationship with nVidia soured but prior to them exiting GPUs they shuttered their motherboard, and sound card businesses which does seem like money part.

These pictures are just renders. It would be nice to see actual photo's. But I agree, this seems to be a very smooth looking card.

In all fairness, and totally agreeing with you, white PCBs are very expensive.
