Ive been using 90% Nvidia gpu's for the better of 35 yrs , but Ive had it with Nvidia's ceo and raping its customers . Ive decided AMD is looking good these days and Ive been happy since early Ryzen and SUPER happy with my 5900X rig for the last 18/24+ months that Ive decided to switch to an AMD gpu . ~ Basically with the three ultrawide screens (7680x1440) I was going over the 12gi limit on my Evga 3080 FTW Ultra 12gig . I was not going over the 12 gig by much (so I thought, and proved otherwise) , but knew I was restricting myself visually , in game FPS , etc . Likely any future usage might/WOULD be problematic . ~ Hence the 7900xtx Nitro , going by some other reviews , the xtx was a no brainer and the Nitro was told , built well , ran cool and quite was an added plus and a must in all respects . ~ To make a long story short .... The AMD 3 screen setup was a bit to get used to vs Nvidias 3 screen setup and Iam still learning on tweaking the screens to my liking , but I expected a bit of learning curve . ~ Ok , day one just try the card out ..... NICE! ....running quite , cool and wonderful on a few of my AAA games thus far and definitely going over that NVidia 12gig limit to a 17/18+ gig average of video memory with the XTX . ~
I think (I know) I made the right choice to switch and the correct brand and version of the 7900XTX .
****** I must note though , the first 7900xtx Nitro was DOA (my first ever gpu doa over all these yrs )
I had Amazon send me another (kinda a pain as the changed how this used to be done) , but Got the new card the next day (thanks Amazon) , and the second Nitro fired up right away and in 15 minutes was up and running some test/games/etc. ~
*** Wish these cards had a 3 yr warranty instead of 2 , but I opted for the 4 yr after market warranty as I know 2 yrs is not enough and Ive learned not to always count on some companies on rma's being problem free , such as Evga's used to be all these years .
Right now Iam very happy thus far even it only being day two of usage . ~ If anything major changes I will update . Wallet is definitely abit lighter , but I know its worth it for me and I should be more than ready for yrs to come .

EDIT UPDATE :
Ive now had the gpu for two months now and Iam still happy with my decision to sell my Evga RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra 12gig and replace it with this 7900xtx . ~ Ive had a few problems , but nothing major or even closed to major . ~ Part of the problem was learning the best settings for the 3 Ultrawide's as one , and a few other settings that were new/different from my past Nvidia settings . ~ At this time all problems have been resolved/learned and all games have been rock solid since this review update . ~ Gpu does run nice and cool and quite (set at 50/55% fan at around 60 degree *c) and running at 7680x 1080p/1440p with all games running at its native rez with 120-160 fps on average .
At this time I have ZERO regrets switching to an AMD gpu and happy as heck that I should be good for some time to come (including amount of gpu memory) !
*UPDATE 9/9/23
Card is still running great , no problems with latest driver update(s) , some games look even better at default resoltion . Latest installed 23.102 . ~ Not sure if I need update 23.11.1 .
*UPDATE : 02/27/2024
Ok , eight months later with my Sapphire Nitro+ 7900xtx and ........ STILL happy as heck with my gpu , and its been running extremely well , cool and quite as usual with all 3 screens for gaming. ~ No problems to speak of , AMD drivers have been pretty good and solid over the months. ~ HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY !

***** (UPDATE : 8/9/24 , 14 M0NTHS later w 7900xtx)
Well its 14 months later already with my beautiful Sapphire Nitro+ ....
Still running the same 5900x system as previously mentioned ,
but now running the "native" resolution of 10320 x 1440 in EyeInfinity vs my past 7680 x1440 (due to slight monitor change) .
Bottom line .....STILL super happy with my Nitro+ 7900xtx ..
Thx to AMD and driver updates , this card still handling all my gaming withOUT being self overclocked as of yet. ~ Solid gaming , drivers have been good , temps are xint , all is GREAT in my long time gaming experience (35+yrs) .
Have no intentions of changing my gpu , but ..... maybe to AMD 7 or 9 series 7900x3d or 9000 ? ; but still in no hurry or need atm .
Bottom line , lam VERY HAPPY still with the Sapphire 7900xtx Nitro+ (solid card , temps cool , very quite = LUV)\
***IMPORTANT UPDATE : I forgot to mention , I have upgraded the PSU for this card about 4 months back (about a year in on owning this gpu) from my Evga G3 850 watt , to a Seasonic Vertex 1200 watt ; this due to using a 10300x1400 resolution I now use that was causing minor game blick outs . Since the PSU change all is extremely well again in all pc work including heavy gaming . `
