[SOLVED] Powercolor Red Devil 7900 XT question

[Colif]

Is the Powercolor Radeon Red Devil RX 7900 XT 2 8 pins or 3 8 pins?
As it seems Powercolor are confused
Their website shows 2 in the specs sheet - https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1668741687#spe
but the pictures attached show 3

Techpowerup shows 3 - https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/powercolor-red-devil-rx-7900-xt.b9946
website I bought one off shows 2 but they probably copied off Powercolor.

Its possible photo shows a XTX model but then I blame Powercolor as its on their site.
No one has reviewed it yet, So far only videos out there show the XTX Special Edition.
Guess I can wait and see for it to arrive, and I can answer the question myself.

Before you ask why an XT and not an XTX.

• The XTX only exist as sold out options.
• I don't plan on using it for anything higher than 2k.
• It is an upgrade over what I have now.
• its still $1000 cheaper than a 4080. Where I am anyway.

xt has two, xtx has three

 

[ak47jar3d]

I am not sure either. It seems that both have three both I can't confirm that...

xt has two, xtx has three

that works for the reference models but a lot of the OC XT have 3 pins.
For example
https://www.asrock.com/Graphics-Card/AMD/Radeon RX 7900 XT Taichi 20GB OC/#Specification

ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition 20GB GDDR6 | Graphics Card| ASUS Global - Tech Specs

ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon™ RX 7900 XT OC Edition 20GB GDDR6 optimized inside and out for lower temps and durability

www.asus.com

It doesn't matter, I have the power connectors needed, I am mostly just curious which is right.

 

[kerberos_20]

hmm it should be 2x8 pin anyway,as it has set TDP for 300watts, powercolor hellhound xtx is 355 watt and this one also has only 2x8pin, devil xtx is 450w tdp with 3x8pin

 

[Colif]

Hellhound is the slower of the two. Also isn't as fat.

Minimum System Power requirement (W)

850W

thats from Powercolor website. It might be an exaggeration.

The GPU has Dual BIOS, Silent & OC modes
Techpowerup only tested it on the stock speeds, if they tested it at all and didn't just look at specs

Engine Clock(OC)	up to 2175MHz(Game) up to 2535MHz(Boost)
Engine Clock(STD/Silent)	up to 2075MHz(Game) up to 2450MHz(Boost)

the stock tdp of a 7900 xt is 315 now, but OC boards need more.
I don't know what the base power is of this card.

For comparison, the Nitro+ version uses base power of 368 and it does up to 2560, uses 3 slots.

Unless photos show up in the next few days or someone with card answers, I won't know for sure until I get it.

this one shows 3 - link
I don't know if the stock photos being shown on websites are accurate

they are the same pictures from powercolor website
scroll down a bit, there seems to be teardown

keep in mind both pictures also comes from powercolor website

just checked techpoweup bios database and there is just single vbios uploaded there, for 7900xt reference...either people not buyin these cards or not using gpu-z upload feature :/

 

[Colif]

2 pictures down from the pcb photo and you get

which shows 3.

Picturre next to Breakthrough Performance also clearly shows 3. So many contradictions on 1 page.

So I don't know...

its funny, I didn't want to buy a card until I read reviews. I jumped early and there are still no reviews. I know its not the XTX but come on, someone should look at the cards. Instead most online GPU reviewers crying over fact cards didn't live up to rumours. Now they all think cards failed. Hype is bad thing if you believe it.

 

[Colif]

The photos cannot be trusted. The Powercolor website shows the same photos for the XTX or XT version. So it is possible its 2 Pins.
I don't feel its important enough to contact Powercolor and ask them...

I still think it would be nice if the webpage was consistent.

 

[Teknoman2]

It doesn't cost anything to send an e-mail to ask for clarification though.

 

[Colif]

I emailed the company I bought it off, I assume it says it on the back of the box somewhere.

This says 2x8.
