If you have the space for it. I dont see why not. I used a PCI-E NvMe expansion card for a while with my Z-370 build. You'll still be limited by Gen 3 PCI-E speeds with X79 though but still an upgrade over Sata III

If you are thinking about using it as a boot drive though. I recall some X79 systems not actually liking it and you'll need to jump through some hoops to maybe get the system to boot off it.

This one is one of the best quality one. It has a thinner version too.

Hey guys been awhile, seeking insight/opinion. I have a liquid devil 7900 xtx I wanted to game with but with crazy gpu market wondering if selling it is a good idea and if so for how much?

I literally can’t find one selling anywhere in months and air cooled versions fairly rare now selling from 900-1500 depending on condition etc.

Wait until tomorrow when 9070 lands.
Here in Croatia, used XTX's start from 600 euros. It should be faster in raster and slower in raytracing than 9070XT which should start at 600 US dollars (but that price could be on paper only) ...

You probably mean 7900XT because there is no way 7900XTX is that "cheap"....I mean maybe only if have missed rops or something

Granted, one 600 listing was on closed enthusiast forum, but the other was on "civilian" market. I even saw 6800xt's closing on 300 euros...

Holy crap…the GPU market hasn’t been this fucked up since 7900 xtx were almost 2 grand during pandemic!

So now we got largely unattainable GPUs from BOTH camps. With moderately, errrr 8 miles high inflated prices and only Nvidia in the truly high range. So now does anyone have any advice or ideas on what to do with my 7900 xtx?

Keep it atm that looks like the best options I mean if you want to stay with AMD.....no reason to switch to the 9070XT as 7900XTX is still a bit better in raster it's maybe a bit worst for RT and if you really need something better basically your only choice is 4090,5080 or 5090 and those cards cost too much but if you really need it or you don't care for money well then go for it....

That’s what I thought…5070 xt is nice but basically a lateral move and everything Nvidia is way too expensive if you can even get it!

It's not even a lateral move honestly because don't forget 9070XT still have "only" 16Gb and yours 7900XTX have 24Gb and as I said it's still faster in raster so basically you ain't getting anything except maybe a bit better Ray Tracing and a bit better power consumption with 9070XT and yeah FSR 4 but hey that maybe will also come later for 7000 series and maybe even for the rest of AMD cards
