XFX Rolls Out Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phoenix Nirvana Graphics Card

[btarunr]

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.

I read nvidia instead of nirvana

 

[GerKNG]

i'd buy a 4090 like that.

For those in China who don't feel selling a kidney is worth a 4090.

So, you first rise from the ashes of your demise (phoenix), and then immediately choose to escape life's dealings again (nirvana).

All in one graphics card no less. Wow. I do hope the card isn't doing what its called though.

i'd buy a 4090 like that.

Half the price at 80% of the performance. No thanks to any 4090.

Compared to the other XFX cards, I do like the color combination but that could hardly be a reason for spending soo much dinero's .

time for XFX to supply W1zzard with a sample and put it to the test to see how it performs and compares to the competition

Red and black? Is it 2015 again?

Come on marketing team, you're going too far here !

Would say its a wrong name for a tech product.

I would love to see the temps on this thing. All the XFX cards I have owned have always had good thermals.

 

[CosmicWanderer]

About time XFX had a flagship card. Too bad the clock speeds are no different than their other models.

Videocardz is suggesting that this is the cooler meant to be used for the 8900 XTX but since it was cancelled they decided to use it for the 7900 XTX instead.

Naw, thanks...

Until you enable RT......

Until you enable RT......

And on the less then 1% of games that use RT, I'm sure that will matter

 

[Denver]

I'm curious to know what the working temperature is like outside the world of marketing.

 

[Vayra86]

Great, now we know what this card's coil whine sounds like

 

[rusTORK]

15,000 W/mK

WHAT?!

 

[Ferrum Master]

Does it come with a shotgun?

 

[Dr. Dro]

I like the design. Hopefully it's a successful product so we see more like it in the future, with a global release.

A tomatooo, a potatooo - yeahhh!!!

And when the VRMs melt, it will smell like teen spirit.

RT performance on the 7900 XTX is only 16% slower than the 4080 (a card that's still $200 - 300 more expensive). At the end of the day RT or otherwise you are getting better value with the 7900 XTX.

The other user was correct though, there are not many games with RT and less than a handful with RT that's even meaningful. The enthusiast community has been polled by both GN and HWUB and about 1/3rd of enthusiasts don't even have an RT capable card yet. If you look at steam's data a majority of the broader PC audience can't even use it.

Hard to get people exicited about a feature that's almost entirely reserved (if you want a decent experience) for the $1,000+ GPUs in a generation.

and me with a $800 setup doing RT )
