power draw, cooling, great fps, raw fps, no upscaling, no fsr4 or fmf.
-- Two Slot Design. -- No RGB. -- Runs cool during gaming sessions and GPU rendering. -- Aggressive Look and Feel. -- Quiet Operation.
It's been installed as an upgrade from a 6950XT for a week now - operating flawlessly and relatively cool at about 60C when under full load. Seeing about a 30-40 percent increase in frame rates at 2K resolution without using FSR enhancements too - awesome!
I feel this is an excellent card for what you pay. It runs cool and still allows a bit of OC being the basic model. Sapphire has always produced top-notched products.
It works for 1440p pretty well even if it's not high-end.
List price. Silent. Didn't realize how noisy my 2060 founders edition was. I can't event tell my PC is on now during boot and when gaming I can't hear anything unless I put my ear on the case. Cool. In Oblivion Remastered it runs at 98% load and 3.2ghz at ~50c. Plays all games I have tried at 1440p at above 60 fps at high or max settings. Can reach 100-120 fps with performance mode FSR4 in Oblivion Remastered with High ray tracing and ultra settings at 1440p. (Though drops to 60-70 fps around NPCs but still playable)

Came in sealed box, new, didnt opened yet, but seems to be OK
All 96 ROPs reported, Runs awesome and cool.
I originally purchased a 4GB GPU. However, some of the games I currently play required more VRam. This GPU fit the bill at a price that doesn't break the bank.
Great product
I finally upgraded from my GTX 1080 ti, to this absolute BEAST! I used to have to turn down my settings to low/medium in everything and hope to hit 60fps. Now I can play on Ultra settings and constantly max out my monitors refresh rate at 180hz. And at the same time, this graphics card uses less power🤯
1)Find out what rtx on looks like without eating ramen noodles for the rest of the month. 2)very quiet. 3)Better than my 1080 gpu. 4)No regrets
ray tracing and FPS performance is a huge upgrade
Small enough for SSF
I'm getting 70-100 FPS in Hogwarts Legacy at 1080p ultra, raytracing reflections on ultra, RT shadows on high, and RT geometry on high. No FSR, no upscaling, for FG. Just native frames. I never hear it.
It works great.
Great performance for what it is. The AMD 9070 and 9070XT are far faster though get those instead if you can get them at msrp
Its too cold and silent. when I play the fans speed always on 30%.
My previous GPU was an EVGA RTX 3070 Ti that treated me well, but 8 GB's was getting rough. Even after swapping the thermal pads out and replacing the TIM with liquid metal, I would consistently hit 70c with power limits maxed out. Pretty good temps overall, but this 9070 XT is on a WHOLEEEEE different level. With the power limits maxed out, I rarely hit 65c at 100% utilization, which is absolutely insane to me for a stock card - This is considered a "budget" 9070 XT too! I have replaced the thermal paste on every GPU I've owned starting back in 2008, but this is the first card I've owned where I don't feel the need to do that. Gigabyte's engineering team gets major kudos for that alone. Performance wise - It's about twice as fast as my previous card and I haven't ran into a single game that it's struggled with. Even more impressive is the ray tracing performance. Obviously, it's nothing to write home about especially compared to the RTX 5090 or 5080, but it's the first time I've felt like RT was worth turning on. At max settings + Max RT in Resident Evil 4 remake, I was still able to maintain a consistent 165hz @ 1440p.
-Great 1440p performance in the games I play -Seems like it has great cooling/thermals -Mostly quiet in my case/cpu cooler fans are much louder -Extremely little graphics driver issues-none now that theyre figured out Seems like it has great quality but I havent bought that many cards so take that into consideration.
