The card features three DisplayPorts (DP 2.1) and a full-sized HDMI port (v2.1). Leveraging AMD’s Radiance Display engine, which supports DisplayPort 2.1, the card can achieve frame rates up to 480Hz in 4K and 165Hz in 8K. While not every user might utilize this high frame rate capability, AMD’s decision to include the display connector contrasts Nvidia’s omission in their RTX 4000 series.
The Radeon RX 7000 Series and Nvidia’s comparable GPUs possess built-in AV1 hardware encoding and decoding capabilities, making them more handy for streamers.
Cooling is critical for a graphics card of this caliber, and the RX 7800XT has an oversized heatsink.
The card measures 329 mm in length, 136 mm in height, and 64 mm in depth, weighing over 1.5 kg.
When not in use, all three fans turn off. The heatsink consists of six 6 mm heatpipes. Temperatures are unlikely to be an issue, and thanks to the aluminum backplate, the card doesn’t sag.
Feeding the card is, of course, the PCIe slot and two 8-pin power headers.
The card also has an aluminum backplate. RBG lighting on the card can be configured using Yeston’s software.
