Fast Technology news on May 16, AMD also released RX 7000 series graphics cards at the end of last year, upgrading the 5nm RDNA3 architecture, claiming to increase the energy efficiency ratio by 50%, the flagship RX 7900 XTX is priced at only $999, 7999 yuan domestically, 5000 yuan cheaper than the flagship RTX 4090 of friends.
But the performance of RX 7900 XTX disappointed many A rice, far from the original expected surpassing N card, since the official performance can not surpass the RTX 4090, then it is up to the player to achieve, many people began to toss RX 7900 XTX overclocking.
Overclocking master Der8auer previously overclocked the RX 7900 XTX to 3.38GHz, and in actual tests it can also reach 3.25GHz, power consumption reaches 650W, and the core temperature is 100 degrees.
However, the final performance was still a little checked with the RTX 4090, and the running score lost by 7%.
Now another overclocking master, jedi95, has hit a higher record, using Elmor Labs EVC2SE to devilify Asus' TUF RX 7900 XTX graphics card, EK water block and 10 degrees of coolant to set a new record, the frequency reached 3467MHz, and the average of 3DMark tests also reached 3333MHz.
In the end, the 3DMark TSE score reached 18335 points, of which the graphics score was 1913 points, which was basically the same as the RTX 4090 graphics card.
It's just that the price of this is that the power consumption of the graphics card reaches 700W, 696W to be exact, which is almost double the default power consumption of 355W in AMD.
Compared to the 450W power consumption of an RTX 4090 graphics card, the RX 7900 XTX that is overclocked to achieve the same performance is also not a small price.
But this also proves that AMD is indeed conservative on the RX 7900 XTX, the actual running 3.3GHz is no problem, the default frequency is 1GHz lower, resulting in too large a performance gap, even against the RTX 4080 is not cheap.
AMD executive Wang Qishang previously mentioned in an interview that it is entirely possible for them to develop a product comparable to the RTX 4090, but this requires 600W power consumption and a price of $1600, which is difficult for the average PC player to accept, so after careful consideration, AMD gave up.
Looking back, this statement is not an exaggeration, AMD can indeed make RTX 4090-level performance graphics cards, but the power consumption is too high.
However, this wave of N rice is still very confident, AMD has repeatedly boasted about how high the energy efficiency of RDNA3 is in the past, but in the face of the RTX 40 series, the same TSMC 5nm process, the energy efficiency of AMD graphics cards is still not comparable to NVIDIA.
