A good card to last a few years
This 7900 GRE was bought to replace a 5700XT that was beginning to struggle on certain titles. I should point out that I play at 60 fps, no more and no less.
Overall, the 7900 GRE will run 1440p games without a hitch and will even be able to go 4k on quite a few titles without having to sacrifice fluidity or graphics parameters (shadows, textures, density, etc.).
As far as heating is concerned, without having carried out any ventilation curves or other settings, the card runs at around 70° and 80/85° on the hot-spot for demanding games in high 4K, which is fine.
In games, the card doesn't let itself be heard very much. The fans are not noisy. No coil whine either on the titles tested. No suspicious noises.
No in-game crashes either, and the driver is spot on.
The card is well put together, quite high quality and solid.
Useful note: it's a nice little block. So, although a stand is supplied, I'd recommend investing in a small additional stand to support the card and relieve the strain on the motherboard port. At the price of the card, adding a few extra euros to secure the whole thing is not a bad investment.
In short, the price/performance ratio (bought on special offer) is satisfactory.
