I’m running the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, tuned to:
Voltage: 1085 mV
GPU Frequency: 2400–2800 MHz
VRAM: Locked at 2700 MHz
Power Limit: +15%
In 3DMark Time Spy (free version), the scores are:
Total: 27,373
Graphics: 33,809
CPU: 13,169
Thermals are well-managed with VRAM maxing at 80°C, hotspot around 73°C, and peak board power at 431W.
In gaming:
GTA V Enhanced Edition (with VisualV mod): Runs 4K High to Ultra settings, maintaining 85–105 FPS smoothly.
Red Dead Redemption 2 (Vulkan): Mostly Ultra at 4K, average FPS ~116, 99th percentile above 90 FPS.
The system is housed in a Lian Li Lancool III case with a Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler (two 140mm fans). Case airflow includes three 140mm front intake fans and two 120mm Noctua reflux intake fans at the bottom for minimal added airflow. Exhaust consists of one 140mm rear-top and one 120mm top-rear fan. I may upgrade to three 140mm bottom intake and three 140mm top exhaust fans later, but current temperatures are excellent.
I'm really happy with the purchase. The GPU arrived well-packaged, included a peel-off
protective film, and came with the Sapphire branded support bracket.
Thank you, Nimbus!
