Benchmarks – Part 1
3DMark – Firestrike (DX11)
Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark designed for today’s high-performance gaming PCs. It is our most ambitious and technical benchmark ever, featuring real-time graphics rendered with detail and complexity far beyond what is found in other benchmarks and games today.
3DMark – Time Spy (DX12)
3DMark Time Spy is a new DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built “the right way” from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards.
3DMark – Port Royal
3DMark Port Royal is the world’s first dedicated real-time ray tracing benchmark for gamers. You can use Port Royal to test and compare the real-time ray tracing performance of any graphics card that supports Microsoft DirectX Raytracing. As well as benchmarking performance, 3DMark Port Royal provides a realistic and practical example of what to expect from ray tracing in upcoming games.
Speed Way
3DMark Speed Way is a graphics card benchmark for testing DirectX 12 Ultimate performance. To run this test, you must have a graphics card that supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and has 6GB or more of video memory.
DirectX Raytracing Feature Test
The DirectX Raytracing feature test measures pure ray-tracing performance. Use this test to compare the performance of dedicated ray-tracing hardware in the latest graphics cards.
In this feature test, there is a minimal amount of traditional rendering. The result of the test depends entirely on the ray-tracing performance of the graphics card.

106º is pretty bad, my MBA model stays at 80º on the hotspot
We tested the card at 100% load … no throttling and no issues, plus it uses an overclocked GPU. It peaked at 106 but averages around 100, which i think is acceptable.
Winston i heard that several users I dont own this have tighten screw on backplate and got better hot spot temps cause the backplate werent properly seated i dont know if its true . I test a XT tuf hotspot is 79c . Thanks for a good reveiw buddy though.
Ok let me check… maybe I should tighten the backplate a little more 😆
How was it, did you manage to get any better temps with tightening the screws/other stuff. That 106 seems high, especially with the difference between GPU edge and junction temps being 46 Celsius. The reference models are considered faulty if the temp difference is over 40C (and junction reaches 110C). As I already had one such card, I am hesitant to be burned twice (pun intended) by a 7900 XTX 😀
Hi there, Winston you wrote that : ” the ASRock Phantom Gaming 3X cooling solution is doing a great job of cooling the graphics card. This is all thanks to the large heatsink with 6 heatpipes and triple ring fans.” And I had the impression that the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming 24GB OC Graphics Card comes with 8 Ultra-fit heatpipes, according to the photos displayed on the ASRock website… At least I count 8 pipes on their photo. Can you tell me if I am wrong here…??
Actually I recounted … total is 7 heatpipes. I have amended the review accordingly. Thanks 🙏
Heya, for people with bad temps. It seems boost clock is a bit much for the card. I found this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/16g2p5u/asrock_gaming_phantom_7900_xtx_temps/ people suggest to UC (2300-2400 frequency, 1120mv, 2714 ram and +15 pwr), and then FAN speed drop by 500rpm, also power consumption from around 400W to 300W and loose FPS is like 1-3FPS. Can try this settings for you.
