Question 1

thie card can fit in a b450m steel legend motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 2

Can this card handle modern AAA games as well as emulators and VR?

Accepted Answer

The ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU receives positive reviews for its performance and its ability to handle demanding games at high resolutions. It is considered a good value for 1440p and 4K gaming, which suggests it should handle modern AAA games well, along with likely handling emulators and VR effectively.

Question 3

Does it have a USB C port like it mentions on the manufacturer specs?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not have a USB-C port. It has 1 HDMI 2.1 port and 3 DisplayPort 2.1 ports.

Question 4

I'm interested in a board only for 8K 2-D work like software development on a large monitor - no games. HDMI 2.1 can drive that at 60 Hz, but it's hard to find out which cards can do this. Don't want to buy a 4080 just for that. Does anyone know if it would be good at this? Scaled to 4K but razor sharp text and lots of it. My Dell 43" 4K IPS is a bit small and I want  a total upgrade.

Accepted Answer

I can confirm it has a HDMI 2.1 port, I use it on a 4k 120hz TV

Question 5

Does the ASRock Phantom Gaming RX 7900 XT need additional support ?  If so, do you have any recomendations?

Accepted Answer

Yes it absolutely needs  a support bracket of some kind.  It does not come with one so I purchased a rather inexpensive one online that seemed to work well enough.

Question 6

Does the ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT need any additional support for weight?  If so, do you have a recommendations?

Accepted Answer

Yes it absolutely needs  a support bracket of some kind.  It does not come with one so I purchased a rather inexpensive one online that seemed to work well enough.

Question 7

750W reccomended, can that be true? Less than for the 6800xt?

Accepted Answer

I've got my rig equipped with a 750W power supply with this card. No issues for me

Question 8

750W is ok with this? Is anyone running it that way?

Accepted Answer

750w is a safe total system recommendation. You could get by with a smaller one depending on cpu.  Reference 7900xt uses 320-350w. This card only has 2 8 pin connectors so its probably around the same amount.
