[SOLVED] Any difference between those Radeon VII Cards?

[IamMike]

Hey is there any difference between those Radeon VII Cards?
What card should i buy? (Amazon.de)
There is some cards that are like 150€ more expansive, any reason for that? Better or just the brand?
I can see the XFX got bad reviews like broken and such ... so maybe buy a bit more expansive idk?
Thx for the info.

Nope, but unless you need that high vram there's really no reason to get it as the 2070 Super is a better price to performance GPU.

 

[IamMike]

Is it compatible with win 7 ?

 

[IamMike]

Well ya i need it for memory hungry applications.
I'm just wondering if it will work on win 7 because i don't want to change my OS anytime soon.

 

[WildCard999]

There's drivers for Windows 7 so it should work fine.

ok the best info i could gather about the cards trough Alternate.be website (idk if there are accurate or not)
but there seem to be huge differences here and there (still don't know wich i should pick).
There is difference in Price , BaseClock / Boost Clock ,RAM Speed, OS Support apparently idk , MAX Resolution , And Waranty time, And power consumption but that i don't realy care.

There reference or stock GPU's, the specs should be practically identical which I agree is odd for different pricing but we see it here in the states as well.

 

[IamMike]

just out of curiosity, what would you pick?

Out of those... the Powercolor as it's the cheapest. With the same specs and design there's no reason to spend more.

 

[IamMike]

Just one question, i have 2 x s27c350 Samsung screens (idk if it's with freesync) but do i need freesync monitors? Or can i just buy the card and it will work?
Thx.

You don't need a Freesync monitor but it's nice to have for gaming. And from the specs I see those monitors aren't Freesync.

 

[IamMike]

ok i will keep that in mind next time i buy new monitors.
Thx.

Meanwhile ... i found the powercolor for about 60 Euros cheaper.

 

[IamMike]

Oh and i forgot to mention i will do the jump from my GTX 970 (4gb) to Radeon VII 16 GB , so i think the difference will be huge.

It should be quite the improvement.

I have to say, it is a beast!
i can work now without having to fear my apps will crash because of running low on VRAM.
I can just keep opening 3D meshes inside Ue4 with no lag at all.
For games i can upscale resolution to max , other settings all on ulta with a stable 60fps +.
I didn't test a lot of games as i have not so much time for it but i tested BF4 max upscaled all on ultra,
on a few server with 64 players, i occasionaly have frame drops , but i guess it's normal for big servers,
other then that i have steady 60 fps.
On Assassins creed Odysey, i had more frame drops that i tought i would have,
but then again, it's a big open world.
I first tought it would bottleneck a lot with my FX 8350 at def 4.0 ghz, but i'm surprised that i'm in fact not.
Games i usualy had to OC my CPU for up to 4.6, i don't have to OC anymore, it runs fine on 4.0 ghz.

I can say i had lot of trouble figuring out why my pc would freeze when i had a power outage,
but i found out the Wattman software sucks.
It would restore my settings to default and as result my pc would completely freeze but i found the solution to it. Just don't use it.

For all the reviews about the fans being to loud ...
i have to say i have no problem at all, the card is quiet !
I even dind't have to undervolt it and adjust fan curve!

Maybe it's brand differences idk.

I bought the AsRock Phantom Gaming X Radeon VII because i found it at a better deal then Powercolor or XFX.

Cheers!
