What Buyers Say
Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX NITRO+ 24GB GDDR6 Silver
The Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX earns strong praise for its blistering 4K performance, quiet operation, and reliable cooling. Most verified buyers highlight its compact size relative to competing high-end cards, the generous 24GB VRAM, and the absence of coil whine as major pluses. A few reviewers note that coil whine can occasionally occur, and the card demands a robust 850W+ PSU, but overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.
Pros
- Excellent 4K gaming performance
- Very quiet operation
- Efficient cooling with low temperatures
- Compact size for a high-end card
- 24GB VRAM for longevity
Cons
- High power consumption
- Occasional coil whine
- Requires 850W+ PSU minimum
- Large 4-slot design
ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 ROG Strix 10GB GDDR6X
The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3080 (Newegg Refreshed) has mixed user feedback. One verified buyer was surprised by its excellent condition, arriving sealed in an antistatic bag with no wear. However, another verified buyer reported that only one DisplayPort works, causing multi-monitor issues. The manufacturer's support response suggests enabling multiple displays in settings, but this does not resolve the underlying hardware concern.
Pros
- Excellent condition as refurbished
- Sealed in antistatic bag
- Supports single screen setup
- HDMI 2.1 ports available
Cons
- Only one DisplayPort works
- Multi-monitor issues reported
- Potential hardware defect
