About AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (2022)

The RX 7900 XTX introduced AMD's RDNA 3 architecture and a chiplet-based design, pairing a 5nm graphics compute die with 6nm memory cache dies, a first for consumer GPUs. Its 96 compute units, 24GB of GDDR6 memory, and 355W TDP were positioned to compete with NVIDIA's RTX 4080 at a lower $999 launch price.

Known Issues & Fixes

Issue Solution / Fix
Some early units reported vapor chamber cooling issues on reference cards, leading to higher-than-expected temperatures for a subset of units. AMD acknowledged a reference-card cooler manufacturing defect affecting a limited batch and offered replacements; affected units can be identified via AMD support.
A number of owners noted RDNA 3's ray tracing performance still trails NVIDIA's RTX 40-series at similar price points. Not fixable; an architectural difference. If ray tracing performance is a priority, compare directly against equivalent NVIDIA RTX 40-series cards before purchase.
