GPU memory speed
2500 MHz
The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
shading units
6144
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.
The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.
Memory
effective memory speed
20000 MHz
The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
maximum memory bandwidth
960 GB/s
This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
VRAM
24GB
VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
GDDR version
GDDR6
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
memory bus width
384-bit
A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.

DirectX is used in video games, with newer versions supporting better graphics and features. The latest version is DirectX 12 Ultimate, which includes support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading (VRS).
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
Supports multi-display technology
✔XFX Speedster MERC 310 Radeon RX 7900 XTX Black
The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.
load GPU temperature
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.
supports ray tracing
✔XFX Speedster MERC 310 Radeon RX 7900 XTX Black
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Supports 3D
✔XFX Speedster MERC 310 Radeon RX 7900 XTX Black
Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).
supports DLSS
✖XFX Speedster MERC 310 Radeon RX 7900 XTX Black
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.
AMD SAM / Intel Resizable BAR
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
AMD's Smart Access Memory (SAM) and Intel's Resizable BAR are two technologies that allow the CPU to have faster access to the graphics card, which can give a performance boost. It requires a compatible motherboard, graphics card, and CPU.
Ports
has an HDMI output
✔XFX Speedster MERC 310 Radeon RX 7900 XTX Black
Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.
More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.
HDMI version
HDMI 2.1
Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.
Allows you to connect to a display using DisplayPort.
With more USB-C ports, you are able to connect more devices/peripherals.
Allows you to connect to a display using DVI.
Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.
General info
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
number of transistors
57700 million
A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
warranty period
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
Has air-water cooling
✖XFX Speedster MERC 310 Radeon RX 7900 XTX Black
The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. This allows it to be overclocked more, increasing performance.
width
344 mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
height
128 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Miscellaneous
DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.

Occom's Razor - 1/2 the cost, space and heat

Ok, so let's face it. You're only buying a 4090 for the bragging rights of all the "Benchmarks" however what's the trade-off? Cost: On -Market Value a 4090 will run you over 2.5k (That's absurd) Heat: 4090's run very HOT Space: 4090's will not fit in a mid tower case and even if you could, you don't want to for thermal air-flow concerns Thermal Efficiency - pumping almost 400+ watts in a Graphics card is going to come with a price (Heat) On most Frame rate demos I've seen the 7900XT is almost indiscernible in terms of frame performance and graphics game-play. I own a NVIDIA EVGA 3080 TI, so I'm not a Fan-Boi, but I can't at the fact that the 4090 is so insanely expensive and large. While yes the 4090 is theoretically faster in every way just about *Tips hat at NVIDIA* the 7900 XTX and XT offer very similar game play at 1/2 the cost, heat and space and are readily available. Occums Razor is being violated at every turn since the 3090 and 4090 series have come mainstream and NVIDIA can't keep it up. By the time the 5090 get's in you'll need an external enclosure and dedicated power supply to even use the card. Gamers don't want Quattro style Graphics Cost or Heat Generation. This is just bad design due to Miner/Gamer Greed and Ego. Let's face it. Stop it, get help, call someone. Not every Game has a Full-size Rig with Water cooling and the set-ups I've seen for the 3090 and 4090 are going to cost you a pretty penny just to game @ 120FPs when your eye can't recognize the difference at 60FPS and beyond. Just saying folks. Save your 1.5k and upgrade your CPU/Memory to DDR5.
