7900 XTX overclocked to 700W is 25-30% faster in synthetic benchmarks

[Marees]

A brave overclocker has achieved an incredible feat by overclocking the Radeon RX 7900 XTX to 3.3GHz. this overclock required a BIOS modification and a few tweaks to the PCB of the graphics card.

The overclocked RX 7900 XTX posted the following scores across the three popular 3DMark synthetic benchmarks:

• 3DMark Time Spy Graphics: 38,725.
• 3DMark Time Spy Extreme: 19,137.
• 3DMark Port Royal: 20,492.

stock Radeon RX 7900 XTX posts 29,215 in Time Spy and 14,861 in Time Spy Extreme, & 16K in Port Royal


For reference:

The RTX 4090 nets approximately 39K and 21K points in Time Spy and Time Spy Extreme & 25K in Port Royal

I saw this mentioned on Tom's Hardware. You can see in the URL it used up to 700W to get those results.

Twice the power of a 4090 and still only comes within 20% of one where it counts.

Still while costing significantly less. Though who knows with that power draw lol.

The 4070 or 6800XT is the sweet spot IMO depending on if you care about RT or not.

I would recommend the 16gb 4060 ti over the 4070.

Both can play 1080p ultra without any compromises

Both may not be able to play 1440p ultra. So you might as well go with the cheaper card & save some money !

Not after you get your power bill it won't.
