Here's a rare standalone GPU offer you don't want to miss out on if you're currently building yourself a high-end gaming PC. Woot!, which is owned by Amazon, is offering the Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Vapor-X Gaming Graphics Card for $999.99. Amazon Prime members get free shipping, the rest of us pay just $6. This is currently the best price you'll find for the best RX 7900 XTX on the market. The Nitro+ boasts an outrageously overbuilt cooling system, impeccable build quality, and as a result, high overclocking headroom. This GPU comes with a 90-day Woot! warranty.
Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU for $999.99
The Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX is the priciest 7900 XTX GPU by MSRP. It normally retails at $1100, which is about $100 higher than most other models. But that $100 price premium is SO worth it for the build quality and cooling that you get with this behemoth. Outside of the PCB, the Nitro+ is almost entirely made out of metal. It is held together by a die-cast aluminum and magnesium alloy frame. A copper plate sits on the GPU core to transfer heat. Above that a vapor chamber acts like a giant heatpipe to transfer the heat to a massive finned aluminum heatsink that is then exhausted by three high-quality axial ball bearing fans. This is the best kind of cooling you can get short of a dedicated liquid cooling solution. The benefit of the extra cooling is that the Nitro+ runs virtually silent. It will run cooler and quieter than its main Nvidia competition, the RTX 4080/4080 Super/5070 Ti.
The Nitro+ is overclocked by 180MHz out of the box. Performance-wise, without factoring in DLSS or ray tracing, the Nitro+ offers superior performance over the 4080 and rivals that of the 4080 Super while generating less heat and less noise. In order to match the acoustic and thermal performance, you would have to invest in a higher end RTX 4080 like the Asus ROG STRIX model, which is impossible to find anymore. This is an outstanding card for high-fps 4K gaming and is powerful enough to comfortably handle any game currently realized and on the horizon.
What makes this deal even better is that the RTX 7900XTX GPU is nearly impossible to find at retail price anywhere else. I'm surprised Woot! even has it available and I expect inventory to be low. That means, currently, the best 7900XTX GPU out there also happens to be the least expensive.
