Question New Rig GPU - Which 7900xt model for MWII and Editing?

[droreni]

Hi everyone,

I finally finished assembling my new rig and looking for buying the GPU which i still didn't decide upon. I live in Korea now for a few months, while back home I have my old rig which is i7-3770K based with RTX 2060 Super.
I want to buy it in the upcoming month or so.
I will Mainly Play COD and do some Picture and Video Editing (not professionally). my screen now is 1440p LG. don't remember if it comes with G-sync\freesync.
Unfortunately my rig is white and I wanted to buy the 4070ti white because there is no amd coming in white, but I realized that a much better decision is to go with amd for COD and for price-performance..
I think i would go with the 7900xt which should be more then enough.
right now I see Gigabyte one which is the cheapest priced.
The site for comparison I use here is :

it's a bit difficult since it's all in korean and i don't speak the language but i somehow get by.
any recommendation would be helpfull, this is the first time I will buy GPU other then nvidia..

Gigabyte makes good video cards.

I bought a Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XT and I'm very happy with it. It runs quiet and temps stay low. So far it is a great card.

this is the only white card i have seen

but then the asian market has a bunch of stuff we don't see elsewhere very much.

They all run pretty much the same. Get whatever model costs the least and enjoy!

Unfortunately this is an xtx which I think is too much for me and more expensive. If I buy this one it will cost me 1400 USD while if I buy here a sapphire XT then I will pay 840 USD which is a great difference. AND I don't see they sell this model here. 🙁 but thanks for the effort!!!

There's another possibility for you. You can always use high-temperature paint on the shroud and backplate to make it white. Something like this:

High Heat Spray Paint 340g - Glossy White

That paint is made to withstand 345°C, more than 4x the likely heat output of a video card so it won't flake off.

Then you can get whichever model that you want.

That's a great idea, I will definitely consider it. it opens up all the options for me

Glad to be of service. I know it's not ideal, but, in the absence of better possibilities... What the hell, eh? 😉

Hey, thanks for the best answer! Did you end up getting the paint? 😊

No, I am experiencing hard issues with the computer, just today I managed to have it run again, it gave me lots of BSOD, and now I think I figured out that the cpu is damaged.. not absolutely sure yet. But at least it booting.
