4080 SUPER KILLER? - ASUS TUF RX 7900 XTX OC - Overview, Benchmarks & Review! [4K] 

Also worth adding that the amount of overclocking headroom you'll have varies by the card you get. If you buy a factory OC card, the headroom will be a lot less. Just wanted to add that to avoid disappointment.

@@jordanash asrock taichi aqua out there, that one is even higher tear 7900 xtx with that 600w unlocked bios. Some of 7900 xtx can install that bios aswell with some tinkering

I'd like to look at some ASRock GPUs, they're *very* hard to get samples of though unfortunately.

Mine came defective I had return it unfortunately:/

Ah that's a shame

Thank you! Haha, good for us, that's for sure.

Fair enough!

Maybe so, but it doesn't feel metal 😂 Also, I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS

Great, love to hear it was helpful!

Yes they do! Thank you 😊

This model is the same price as the 4080 Super I reviewed

@@jordanash We can still buy off Amazon UK, they just add on the import tax from the UK to the EU. So this GPU is currently €1160 on Amazon UK. If I stick to the EU (no import tax) this exact model is available for €1060 on Caseking Germany. Which is also the average price for the 4070ti Super in the EU (€1050) The cheapest I could find the Inno3d 4080 Super for is €1307 from Amazon Germany. Which is a big jump in price. I've never bought an Inno3d GPU before, if I'm spending that much money, Id rather stick with a brand I have used before like Asus (I used to exclusively buy Evga for Nvidia until this gen). On the AMD side, I'd lean towards Asus and Sapphire. And Id be willing to try ASrocks more premium model such as the 7900xtx Taichi. If both the 7900XTX and the 4080 Super are the same price, I think its a no brainer win for the 4080 simply because of lower power draw, better RT performance and the superior upscaling technology. When there's a €150-300 difference in the price of the GPUs its a different value proposition. I don't think the superior RT performance and DLSS is worth that much extra.

You've summed it up very well, it's all down to localised price with these cards

Thank you! Great, glad to hear it. The Hellhound models are great cards. Yeah I feel you there, I'd be going AMD if I saw building a new system nowadays.

Hitting 60? That's normal... Some of these go into 70 easily, they're designed to work under heat. Anything under 90 is fine.

Fair enough!

Completely agree on the power consumption thing, but it also depends on the 7900 XTX you get in terms of if it's worth the price jump. For instance, I snagged a PowerColor Hellhound 7900 XTX for $919.99. The cheapest 4080 Super I could get (as per PCPartPicker) is $1,149.99. Sure, it doesn't use as much power, but that's a big jump in price. The 4080 Super is a great card, but honestly, I would really miss my Radeon Chill feature in games.

@@VelcroSnake93 I am having this issue right now. I am planning an upgrade soon and I see the 7900 XTX Asus Tuf for € 1.058 but with a € 100 cashback. The cheapest RTX 4080 super I can find is the pro art version for € 1.149. Not sure what to get really, I am going to pair it with a 7800X3D and a the new Alienware Oled monitor 1440p 360hz version.

I've not done much undervolting before, but I can look at it. It might be a while though, I'd want to be very comfortable with doing it myself first before teach others.

Hey, you're welcome! So I've used a lot of Powercolor cards, those are great and more affordable. Sapphire have a good reputation too. This one has been great but it is one of the more expensive models.

@@jordanash Thanks for you answer! Yeah this one's really expensive, but from what I saw it's also the coolest model iirc, which would make it a better investissement over time... well at least I hope

No problem. To be fair Asus really over engineer the design, but it does mean better temps for the most part.

Asus use the same for Nvidia though

What CPU are you cooking push/pull? Or is that a custom loop? Just thinking depending on the CPU you might not need push pull.

I don't know if you've heard me say from one of my older videos, but I built my first PC with parts from them in 2010. It's great to be working with them now

Most of the big cards only use two slot brackets. Yeah, I said the wrong thing.

@jordanash I just find it ridiculous my sapphire 7900xt has a 3 slot bracket and a metal construction. It seems to me that the aib partners that also make nvida cards all apply the cost cutting measures to both types of card. Fair enough.

From what I've seen I think it's down to how they make the brace that spans the length, some of them more width so don't need the extra bracket support.

I agree with that. Sapphire Nitro+ has a sub frame that’s acting as vram heatsink bridge to the main heatsink which is the truest anti-sag structure. ASUS might be looking for better case compatibility with the two slot bracket but my opinion is also that it is insufficient.

Yeah, I don't see why not. I don't think you'll be able to get both of those without compromising the quality of the other parts though, seems too tight.

Great aren't they, love how over-engineered they are.

Is that good or bad?

@@jordanash It's definitely not bad 👍

Okay, good 😂

Seasonic are absolute quality, I don't think you'll have an issue.

@@jordanash Thank you for your response. I'll be ordering the GPU now. Have my sub :)

No problem, if you can use my amazon link it would help me a lot, no extra cost either. Thank you!

It can pull up to 450watts I think. You can use PBO to undervolt your cpu for a little headroom. The card can run much lower wattages as well. Adrenaline software has Hypr-rx Eco mode preset for games and you have the option to lower power limit, lower clocks, and undervolt the card from the tuning tab.

Wow, expensive

No, I said in the video the minimum requirement is 750

@@jordanash thanks .. btw Is there any fix about that this psu has x2 8 pin atm using it on my 2070super what I do becouse 7900 has x3 8 pin?

Oh if that's all it has then definitely upgrade it, don't risk stupid adapters or anything like that. To be fair is is a £/$1000 card, it deserves decent power.

Or you can purchase the reference card that only requires two 8pin.

Yeah, that's fair.

Quite different then! Thanks for sharing your info ☺

Yes hopefully, Brexit was so stupid.

These coolers are over engineered though, but I think that's a good thing

I've only tested the TUF unfortunately. I'd google one vs the other, that's all I'd be doing to help so you just as well do that yourself.

It's in the video at 5:13 - Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2

@@jordanash Thanks 👍👍

No problem

Yeah, I said the wrong thing.

@@jordanash ok, thanks

😊

@@jordanash also do you think you could do a bench mark for a bunch of other popular games like MW3, Fortnite, apex, rainbow six siege, etc.

@@HollowGuy7 I can look to add some more games, but I need to try and get keys for them as I can't afford to buy them all. Apex benchmarks are already in the video btw

It's like £600 cheaper. Comparing the two is like comparing the top speed of two of the same car but one has a massive turbo.

Nothing can yet, mate

Yes true. A lot of people like the XTX for it's 24GB, especially those doing creative work.
