Great when I first got it but upon trying to “upright” mount it in my Thermaltake TR250 the card suddenly spiked up in temperature (90C gpu and 110C at the hotspot). Got a diff card and it ran just fine temperature wise. Might have gotten one from the batch that had some “pits” on the chip or the vapor chamber was not filled properly. Either way trying to RMA this but still haven’t heard back after about 5 days. Hopefully I can get some help from this but for now this card is getting a 1-star from me.

Fantastic. I saw a highly negative review and it is so outrageously inaccurate I felt compelled to respond. I went from a 3080 Ti to this one, so my review is relative to that. If you are having performance problems that makes you think this is anywhere near a 2070 like one reviewer said, you probably are illiterate and didn't turn on the Resizeable BAR feature in the BIOS. This warning is plastered all over the driver installation if you have it turned off. If you don't see the option in the BIOS, you probably have an older motherboard and need to update the BIOS firmware. Now onto the specifics:Price: Best budget card on the market even at higher than MSRP.Performance: 30% better than 3080 TiVRAM: 50% more than the 3080 Ti. If you're limited on VRAM your performance will become absolute trash as it thrashes to swap with system RAM, that's why this add at 16GB is crucial to consider for performance gains with more modern games or higher resolutions.Size: The size takes up less space than the 3080 Ti. This was refreshing.Power connectors: 2 connectors required, rather than the 3080 TI's 3, which is great.LLMs: If you're running LLaMa 3.2, I get around 160 tokens/s perfectly fine with ROCm. Media encode is blazing fast.Linux: works perfectly on Ubuntu 24.04 with all games I've tried. Use Valve's Kisak PPA for Mesa drivers. Do not bother using AMD's version, it is garbage tier. Trust me - Valve and the Kernel developers did a great job here. I posted a medium article on setup, but I probably can't post links so I won't bother - just search "Radeon RX 9070/XT: Running Vulkan on AMD GPUs (Linux) with Valve’s Mesa Driver"

Fantastic card with a few weird quirks. Fan profile is stuck at 42% max fan speed on both the OC and silent bios so you need to define your own curve if your card runs hot. The 9070XT Hellhound is an excellent 1440p gaming card offering close to double the performance for people coming from the 3070/6700XT tier.Very power hungry offering that uses 320W stock and up to 350W with +10% power limit with transient spikes close to 500W. Undervolting helps but the 9070XT will consistently use a good chunk more power than the 5070Ti it is supposed to compete with.Typically buy XFX cards for Radeon offerings but their prices were way too high this generation so I've pivoted over to Powercolor who are still expensive but less so. Quite impressed thus far and I'm hoping I'll never have to find out the quality of the customer service.

Was lucky enough to get this on launch. Card has been amazing and provides insane fps with the max 1440 settings I have been using it for. Could easily do 4k at great fps as well. Was looking to get the best card I could for under $800 and this has met my expectations in every way. Card looks very nice as well. Only negative for me would be the led on the card being a non-addressable blue/light blue, so I have left it off for the time being as I have everything set to a green color. But the price to performance (if you can get lucky enough to not deal with the scummy scalpers) is amazing.

This thing is insane! But then again I went from an GeForce GTX1070 to this AMD RX 9070 XT so anything new might seem insane to me.I've run the Monster Hunter Wilds benchmark twice, once with only frame generation on(score: 39469), and next with the "HYPR-RX" preset(not HYPR-RX Eco), and the HYPR-RX preset actually gave me a significant point drop(score: 34953). I found that a little baffling considering it's supposed to optimize everything for performance.Considering the card's name with a black and red color scheme, some silly goose thought it was wise to give it a bright "icy white" LED light bar and not allow you to change the color. Though as it turns out you can just turn the LED off via a switch on the card.Pros: This card is super-powerful, triple fan design, BIOS switch, two 8-pin PCIe connectors instead of the 12 pin high failure connector. Hasn't burned my house down.Cons: Icy white LED light bar color. No GPU bracket(Red Devil has one).TL;DR Powerful GPU and the icy white LED light bar is really the only serious complaint, because it doesn't make sense to have the icy white color on ANY of the GPUs(Red Devil, Hellhound, Reaper) considering their names and color schemes, with the exception of the spectral white variant, however you can at least switch it off.With that said the LED light bar doesn't decrease performance any, which is why this is still getting 5/5 stars.

I didn't win the release day lottery for MSRP. So I decided to go up a tier to one of the premier models. Love this GPU, coming from a 3060ti its a breath of fresh air for 1440p gaming. For reference, im using this with a 7600x3d, no bottleneck so far. I highly recommend this card for under $800.
