PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7800 XT, 16GB GDDR6, HDMI, 3x DP

Vormals einzeln nur in China oder hierzulande in OEM-PCs verfügbar, gibt es die Radeon RX 7900 GRE jetzt auch von den bekannten Partnern als Custom-Design im deutschen Einzelhandel. Was sie gegenüber der Radeon RX 7800 XT und der GeForce RTX 4070 (Super) zu bieten hat, klärt der Test anhand der PowerColor Hellhound.

Schon AMDs Referenzdesign (MBA) der Radeon RX 7800 XT wusste zu überzeugen, doch die Custom-Designs Asus TUF Gaming OC, PowerColor Hellhound, Sapphire Nitro+ und Merc 319 kühlen noch einmal besser und bleiben trotzdem leiser. Welches Modell im Vergleich die beste Vorstellung abliefert, klärt der Test.

The PowerColor RX 7800 XT Hellhound is the company's flagship card for this release. It comes with all the bells and whistles like adjustable RGB lighting, dual BIOS, a powerful triple-slot, triple-fan cooling solution, dual BIOS and a large factory overclock. Compared to AMD reference speeds, the Hellhound ticks at a gaming clock frequency of 2213 MHz, which is a 4% increase over the 2124 MHz baseline value set by AMD. Averaged over the 25 games in our test suite, at 1440p resolution, this leads to a 3% performance improvement over the AMD reference card—not much, but that's how factory overclocks work these days. Actually, all RX 7800 XT custom designs tested today reach virtually the same performance levels, which can be a good thing, because it really doesn't matter which one you pick, at least when it comes to gaming performance.
