AORUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX ELITE 24G even compared to ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4070 Ti OC looks monstrous.

7900

AORUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX ELITE 24G is built on RDNA 3 with 6144 cores. The frequency limit of this instance is 2498 MHz, but in games it sometimes reaches 3000 MHz. The video card received 24 GB of GDDR6X memory with a frequency. The memory bandwidth is 0.959 TB/s.

TECHNOLOGIES

WINDFORCE COOLING SYSTEM

The WINDFORCE cooling system includes three 100mm unique blade fans, alternate rotation, 10 composite copper heatpipes, a large evaporation chamber directly touching the GPU, active 3D fans and screen cooling, which together provide highly efficient heat dissipation.

2 

The airflow is distributed along the triangular edge of the fan and smoothly guided along a three-dimensional curve on the fan surface. Graphene nano-grease can extend the life of the fan by 2.1 times, which is close to the life of a double ball bearing, and run quieter.

 1

A large vapor chamber directly contacts the GPU, combined with composite heat pipes that quickly transfer heat from the GPU and VRAM to the heatsink.

 3

Each fan rotates in a different direction than the next one. This special mechanism reduces turbulence and increases air pressure, minimizing the drift that occurs between air streams. 

3D Active Fan provides semi-passive cooling and the fans remain off when the GPU is in low load mode or in a low power game.

To create more space for airflow to pass through, the heatsink protrudes above the PCB and therefore increases ventilation. This screen cooling design ensures better heat dissipation.

RGB Fusion

4

The legendary three-ring lighting provides superior visual enjoyment. You can select any lighting effect or sync it with other devices in GIGABYTE CONTROL
CENTER.

DUAL BIOS

5

The factory default setting is OC mode to give users the best performance. However, switching to silent mode will be quieter.

PROTECTIVE METAL BACK PLATE

6

The metal back plate not only adds aesthetic shape, but also enhances the structure of the graphics card, providing complete protection.

ANTI-SLAG BRACKET

7

New anti-sag bracket adapted to each graphics card. This provides optimized reinforcement and a better appearance.

POWER INDICATOR

8

If any power failure is detected, the indicator will alert players by flashing a light.

COATING BOARD

9

Dustproof - Protects against dust, insects, dropped screws, chips and abrasion. Moisture Resistant - Prevents unwanted conduction paths and board damage. Corrosion Resistant - Protects against salt spray, moisture and corrosion.

HEATING AND POWER CONSUMPTION

FurMark 2023 02 18 20 04 51 295

The AORUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX ELITE 24G gluttony test was conducted in conjunction with an Intel Core i9 13900K 3.2 GHz + Z690 AORUS MASTER in a closed Thermaltake Core V51 case. Now let's summarize these temperature and power consumption indicators in tables, with the results we obtained earlier:

power 

As we can see, the AORUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX ELITE 24G draws 462 watts in FurMark and 464 watts in games.

temp

The temperature range of the AORUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX ELITE 24G card reaches a maximum of 54 degrees in games and up to 52 degrees in the stress test.

It is also worth noting that the GPU frequency of the AORUS Radeon RX 7900 XTX ELITE 24G did not drop below 2750 MHz in games, and dropped to 2500 MHz in FurMark.
