Guys, the card is a beast.
I got it at a very good price of €730 and I grabbed it immediately.
First, I will tell you that it is combined with:
Ryzen 9 7900x
Gskill trident z5 32gb 6400mhz cl32
Coolermaster MWE 1050 white version

Positives:
Performance:
a) Spiderman remastered 80-100fps max settings, max ray tracing
b) Forza horizon 5 160-190 fps max settings, max ray tracing
c) Rainbow six siege 320-350fps max settings
d) Pubg 140-160fps max settings

All tests were done at 1440p with FSR off because I prefer to have a clear resolution and play smoothly.
I think FSR 2.1 is not very good, while FSR 3.1 that Spiderman has is decent.

Temperatures: In all tests with many hours from each game, I didn't see above 68 degrees.

Drivers: If you are a narrow-minded person and still believe the prehistoric notion that there are issues with AMD, believe it, but know that you are wrong.

Negatives:

Size: It is huge and many cases may not fit it. Mine barely fit (although I wanted to do a micro ATX build anyway).

Power consumption: I think a large power supply is necessary, especially if you want to do light overclocking (I don't think it's needed).

Upscaling: Also, the fact that FSR4 will not be supported is a bit of a shame.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have AI cores that would make it capable of supporting it.
However, when we talk about a card that can play 95% of games above 60fps and everything on max, I don't think it's a factor to consider it inadequate.

Price: The price is quite high and I don't think it will drop easily.
Right now, the best you can do is wait.
Wait for the price of the 9070xt to drop, which with the use of FSR4, in ray tracing usage, will have better performance than this one.
If you don't care much about ray tracing, then it's an excellent card with a lot of VRAM for the near future.
If you need a card now and find it used at a good price (up to €650), I don't see how it's a bad purchase, since new ones remain very expensive.
I believe it will be a card that "ages" well, as prices are rising dangerously, and soon the price it is now will be considered normal and not “high end.”

I bought it for 780 euros. It is a card that checks all the boxes (performance, future proof due to VRAM, appearance, price).

Coming from a 3080 ti, I noticed a significant difference in performance, and I loved AMD's application which has every setting you could want in one place. I didn't use the Geforce experience app because it eats up performance. That's unacceptable, as is the searching you need to do to customize your gaming experience. For example, to enable sharpening, you have to open the registry editor. Why is that, guys?

As for latency, which I've seen mentioned in FPS competitive games, there is no noticeable difference with Nvidia (I don't know about the new cards with reflex 2.0). Note that each game in Adrenalin requires different settings, e.g., in Warzone everything is off, and in PUBG I have Anti-lag and frame cap enabled.

If you play games and don't want Raytracing in your games (or don't care), you buy AMD. I noticed up to 120 fps less in a game that supports RT. If you are into streaming, like Ray tracing, you go with Nvidia.

For me, since I mainly play FPS games, this card is ideal, 5/5.

*Update after 1 year of use: Excellent card, a lot of performance for its price but I couldn't resist and switched to Nvidia, due to driver issues in some games.

I will evaluate the card from the perspective of someone who went from a 4070 Super X2 Ventus from Msi to this 7900XT model. I will start with the negatives.

I really didn't expect the card along with its cooler to be so large; next to the old card, it is a giant. The case I have is the mag forge 100m, and it fits, but with a little leftover space; in a smaller case, it might only fit if it has a different layout. The other (relatively small) negative is the price; in terms of performance - price, you need to weigh a bit what you want and what your usage scenarios are because you are choosing between this, a 4070 Ti Super, or a 7900XTX in the budget of around 800 to 900 (I found it used for 600, with very little usage time).

As for the positives? Aesthetically, it is one of the cards I didn't expect to like so much since I prefer more minimal appearances. It has a switch for the BIOS in case something goes wrong with tweaking (expected from this sapphire series). The cooler it has keeps temperatures within the expected range (with its stock, an average of 74 under relatively heavy and continuous, but not benchmark-type, load). You can control its ARGB with an application of your choice, but you need to set it to accept external signals (and connect the header, of course; tip: connect the cable before inserting the card). It consumes more power than the previous card I had, but the performance it offers is of course better. In raster gaming, we are talking about 120 to 180 FPS on average depending on the resolution, without upscaling or frame generation, with settings at maximum level. As for ray tracing, I certainly didn't expect anything. Forget path tracing. But it is feasible with the right settings. For example, in Cyberpunk 2077, you can hit 60-80 fps with specific settings (of course at 1080p, but without upscaling and without frame generation). For upscaling, I currently recommend XeSS instead of FSR. Frame generation is good, and I recommend it when playing "difficult" ray tracing (like the example above, i.e., 60-80 fps native as a baseline). In terms of productivity, you just need to see how zluda is installed, and you will generally be fine. Overall, we note that it has more VRAM than the 4070 Super, whose price has recently increased. In stable diffusion, I had the same performance as the 4070 Super but with much more headroom in VRAM. Also, it runs without issues on a good 750W PSU.

Overall, I am very satisfied. I recommend it unreservedly in terms of quality, especially if it is for Linux (you will only need to set that adjustment for the external ARGB signal so you can control it through OpenRGB).

I will start first with the unfortunately to go to the fortunately:
Unfortunately, I am so unlucky that the first order RX 7900 XT Nitro+ was a defective model (only the RGB LEDs lit up - otherwise dead). However, these things happen in electronics in general. Fortunately, I had ordered through skroutz and not through other affiliated stores, resulting in excellent and fast support/service, which led to the immediate replacement of the model (at my own choice).
Now to the point:
What can one say about this card? A performance beast, silent (during everyday computer tasks, the fans don’t even run half the time). Top-notch build quality, as well as top-notch performance with +4GB memory compared to the 4070ti Super. The truth is that I chose the 7900 XT Nitro+ over the 4070ti Super purely for the price, but also for the build quality of the Nitro+. Anyone who is exclusively involved with 3D rendering applications, etc., already knows they will choose NVIDIA. Not that the 7900 XT doesn’t do 3D rendering, but we said, NVIDIA, with CUDA cores... Now, regarding the price, it is clear that the 7900 XT Nitro+ is value for money. You pay a little more and have peace of mind regarding temperatures, which is important for the summer months. 5/5 then. If any issue arises, I will come back.

Excellent card with amazing gaming performance. Coming from the distant GTX 1080, the difference is obviously huge. After all, we are talking about a 7-year difference in versions.

It can easily handle QHD gaming in all titles with a good number of FPS, especially if you have High Refresh Rate Monitors. Its performance on 4K Monitors is also very impressive.
When combined with a modern processor, it can offer maximum performance, especially in HD and QHD. In 4K, due to the need for more resources from the card, there won't be any noticeable bottleneck if you have an older but decent processor.

The choice of this card over the RTX 4070ti Super was made considering the higher memory capacity (16GB vs 20GB) for future situations, its use solely for gaming and not for editing, and its power in RAW situations rather than Ray Tracing, where NVIDIA is clearly ahead in most cases.

Also, I wanted to switch to an AMD environment for GPUs, as I have always had NVIDIA cards. I haven't encountered any driver issues or any problems that require debugging in the almost month that I have been using it, just like with NVIDIA cards all these years.

Finally, its performance in terms of temperatures is excellent. Even under full load, it rarely reaches 70 degrees Celsius, without needing to adjust the fan curves and keeping the default settings.

Overall, I am fully satisfied with this particular version of the card and with this AMD model. It is a card that will stay in my PC for years, just like my old one.

Tip:
"If you also have an AMD CPU, it is necessary to update the chipset drivers to avoid any issues. This is also the reason why many people sometimes use older drivers to make their system stable."

Kids everything is fine with the card and it's worth the money the only issue it has is when you connect a relatively high resolution 144hz monitor for example it has high power consumption and temperature when you work on zero rpm which is default in adrenaline at idle it works the vram at full without the pc doing anything this so far is not fixed with new drivers from amd just by searching on the internet I found that there is a way to manually fix it by lowering the resolution to 60hz for example in the win 10 settings in my case and this solution worked there is also another solution that worked as well by entering amd adrenaline in the monitor settings and I set my monitor from 144hz to 142 or 143hz this worked for me as well I found this by searching for 10 minutes on the internet there is also a third way by downloading a program that fixes the resolution which is more complicated I didn't try it so it's worth dealing with for some reason the card doesn't like certain screen resolutions like 144hz I think from amd because they know the problem with some future driver to fix it automatically according to amd this is done with the vram for compatibility issues to avoid black screens. I have 2 monitors connected to the card, the g5 samsung 144hz 2k and an lg 75hz hope I helped!

Amazing card, I saw a significant difference compared to the 6800 XT I had, and overall, after overclocking, it performs 40-50% better, and some games even more, for example, Dead Space Remake (120 FPS), Cyberpunk (120 FPS), RE 4 Remake (260 FPS), Dead Island 2 (200 FPS), Hogwarts Legacy (120 FPS), and many more. With FSR 3, simply double those numbers.
Temperatures are very good with 405+ Watts (I've seen it go up to 592W momentarily), especially considering the summer with room temperature at 28C+. I saw a maximum of 74C globally with a hotspot of 92C with fans at 50%.
There is no coil whine, and the card is very quiet. You have to go above 2500 rpm to actually hear it.
I leave the final overclocking settings in the photo, it's incredibly stable and can handle everything at maximum with my 4K OLED monitor.
I have seen clocks at a stable 2950+ with occasional peaks up to around 3200+.
With the overclock, it gained about 16%+ more performance, surpassing the 7900 XTX, which is around 250-350+ euros more expensive, and it is also about 5-10% faster than the 4080, which is around 350-450+ euros more expensive. I won't even discuss the 4070ti, with a difference of 100-200+ euros for the respective top-end models and losing 25%+ in performance.
For those who want lower temperatures and less power consumption, I also raised the UC profile. You will only lose 8-12% in performance, but with a room temperature of 26C+, it reached 62C globally with a maximum hotspot of 74C at 314W.
The metal construction is unique compared to other cards.
It's my first time with Sapphire, and I'm quite impressed.
At the price of around 870 euros that I bought it, it's definitely worth it.

Very complete card from the best graphics card company, after EVGA's departure.

This one has a max of 70-72 degrees core, 80-83 junction (hotspot) at 350W load and 1400RPM on the fans... With air conditioning in the room, it drops 3-4 degrees... With a modified fan profile, an extra 3-4 degrees down, but more noise... In short, impeccable temperatures, no issues.

It comes with a factory OC of about 10%, boosts on its own to 2800-2850 MHz core and reaches performance levels of 4080 (+/- 5%) depending on the game of course and the system you have. Strangely, while I expected coil whine due to the high consumption, it has almost none... Possibly if you choose a cheaper model, it may have coil whine... The Nitro series is high end, so possibly more refined than the cheaper ones.

I bought it after 5 years of Nvidia in a row, afraid of possible problems, so far I have had it for 3 months and I haven't seen a single bug. UPDATE 9/5/2024: Now we have reached 1 year, about 20 different drivers since then and still not a single issue.

Also, a positive aspect is that AMD's adrenaline software is clearly superior to Nvidia's outdated Geforce Experience.
