1440P 12Gb Vram

Perfect video card for 1080p; 12GB VRAM keeps visuals silky smooth in games that use a bit more than 8GB.

I was debating the RTX 3060 with 12gb VRAM, vs this one. Decided on this one, figuring that this is a generation newer. The 8 gb VRAM seems to be enough for my need. Very quiet. Ventilation is great. The temperature stays on the low end even when I export video.

This is a massive card. My Meshify 2 XL has plenty of space for it, but the weight gave me enough anxiety to use the support bar. Neither the card nor the zbar are the prettiest, but this thing has great performance. Junction temp is low 70s in WZ 2.0 at 1440p, mostly maxed out in settings (no RT although I don't even think it's available yet). If you were worried that a gigantic heatsink would still result in mediocre thermals because blah blah AMD efficiency, don't, this thing cools well and the added mass & design are clearly effective. XFX really went for performance and thermals here and it shows, I'm impressed. I've tested with WZ 2.0 in Windows and TW:WH3 and Valheim in Linux. All smooth as butter at 1440p. Linux support is fantastic, although distro options are (currently) limited if you want out of the box support with latest mesa and kernel. Haven't tried SteamVR yet; bracing for disappointment there, but I'm okay waiting a while for drivers to catch up. VRAM usage in WZ 2.0 maxes out around 76% so if I did my math right, the added VRAM on the 7900 XTX *is* actually useful. Lots of influencers/reviewers/redditors all seem to ignore the 24GB of VRAM on this card when comparing to the 4080, like it doesn't matter and/or won't ever be used. If you're looking for a new card at this price point and comparing against a 4080 (you should be), it comes down to game-by-game preferences and your use cases. For example Nvidia is still king of VR. This card has a ton of VRAM and is great at raster for a little less $. I'm happy with it. Clearly the reference model is a different story but XFX has outdone themselves with this card.

Irrespective of Nvidia leaning towards anti-consumer practice, I really really like this card. It would be nice if Nvidia was asking a little less for this card, but it's essentially a 3080 that runs on 200w. It's a 1440p beast. Don't be discouraged by 12gb vram. At 1440p I've never been throttled by the vram. I don't think this is a 4k card. I play every on ultra at 1440p and love it. Oh yeah, the cooling is absolutely overkill and I'm a big fan of that ;) I don't think I've ever seen this card go above 50c.

Monitor is great value at this price for a 1440p Monitor.

Works great for video editing with all that 12 GB VRAM

The king of 1440p gaming. I have no idea what else could be done to make a better monitor.

Was going to wait for a 4060, but seeing how 4070 is going, glad I got the 12GB 3060, instead, for my Z590/11700K rig... All my games run ultra settings, great... Triple fan cooling performs awesomely... The aluminum fan shroud is a nice touch... Would say, all things considered, I'm happy with my purchase...

great card, plenty of VRAM, upgraded from a 1050 Ti. Would recommend for everyone.

I like everything about this monitor. It was a great deal. One of the best 1440P 240Hz monitor around for the money.
