Consistently hits my 1440p monitor's 165Hz refresh rate easily on most of my older games. Averages approximately 130 fps at 1440p ultra in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (not Survivor) and Assetto Corsa Competizione with my Ryzen 7 7800X3D system. Lack of RGB on this particular model fits in perfectly with a RGB-free stealth build. AMD software has improved a ton since last time I used an AMD GPU, and I've encountered very little in terms of driver issues. 16GB of VRAM is nice to have but by no means a necessity at 1440p right now. 2x 8-pin power connectors. GPU core temperature stays very cool at both idle and under load.

Does not come with an included anti-sag bracket, but the GPU itself is quite light for a triple fan card and may not necessarily need one. Has a noticeable coil whine at full load, but does not whine on idle or low load. Hot spot temperatures are high on this model compared to the cool core temperature when at full load (about a 20° C difference), but still within safe tolerances. Boost and game clocks out of the box are lower than most of the other 7800XT AIB cards. Trades blows with the previous generation RX 6800XT in terms of performance because this card is really a successor to the RX 6800 and not the XT model.

Nvidia has better ray-tracing performance and upscaling, but I don't really use either and would rather spend less money for more raw FPS instead. Until ray-traced games without standard rasterization modes become mainstream, the RX 7800XT should remain relevant for a long time.
