Hi all, It would be great to get people's views if what I'm thinking of would be a good choice of GPU for my existing build.
I've been running a GTX1650 whilst the great GPU depression has rumbled on (well it depressed me that I might need to pay $2500 for a new GPU anyway!). Now that there's some new options out there I'm thinking of dropping in a 7900XTX as they seem a better option on cost to performance to me and I can live without 5million FPS with RT on.
Its all housed in a NR200P and so I'm constrained to a 3 slot model at 330mm length maximum (not sure it can squeeze in a 3.5 slot and have reasonable airflow?) I would like an AIB model that at some point in the future I can mount on to a water block and make a custom CPU and GPU loop.
Outside of the reference cards I think this gives me a fairly limited choice of models to choose from either ASRock AMD Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming 24GB OC or the Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX PULSE 24GB.
I'm leaning towards the Sapphire model as I'm thinking as its slightly smaller so possibly a touch more airflow around the card. I know the ASRock is factory overclocked higher but would this mean any further differences in performance further down the line if I go for manual overclocking on the water block?
Appreciate your opinion if I'm on the right tracks here.
