ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XT Phantom Gaming White

hello i have the same card just not in white, does this site test gpus on an open benchtable? since 59 degree is not something i can achieve but the hotspot is identical.

Correct, I'm using an open bench. In-case testing is certainly interesting from a theoretical perspective, but the problem is, which case to use, with what fan configuration and fan speed, and at the end of the day some people will still complain about wrong test conditions

Thanks thats why the difference is so big. thats also not practical for viewers. it only shows relative difference but not real case usage. still phantastic card imo. my first asrock gpu. its nice getting premium without paying it because the name is just not big enough. cough cough asus, msi.

I would love more commentary in these reviews on how it compares to the other models you've tested, like the Pulse shows up a few of the charts, but I don't see any commentary on this card vs the Pulse.

Sure wish I knew how thick the various thermal pads are, think you could start labeling them for us?

Not a bad idea... people very often ask about it, it could actually be put in the GPU database description.

Well, I just picked one of these up from an Amazon Black Friday deal, the regular black one.... After ordering it, I got worried after reading multiple customer reviews talking about 110C hotspot temps, but it arrived and it's the coolest running 7900XT/XTX I have out of 4. Very happy with the purchase and I can't believe this card is one of the cheapest ones available.

If you run it in "Rage" mode in the drivers, it uses 350W and adds a couple of FPS, and unlike my Sapphire Pulse 7900XT, "Rage" has no effect on temps or fan speeds.
