Personally, I like the LEDs, and backplate, but I had to mount the card vertically for it to fit in my case. Great card tho imo.
Fair enough! Verticle must look good though.
Also I like the fact they actually have a switch to turn off for those who dont want the light.
Bought rx 7800xt pfantom gaming and return her bac after few days because of a kick ass coil whine and get saphire nitro+, nitro just looks more premium and has more features
Glad that's working well for you!
It's much better. Also, I definitely don't like or trust Asrock nearly as much as Sapphire.
Asrock products have been solid for me, especially the motherboards they make for NZXT
Glad I saw this comment. Might be going for the hellhound since no one seems to have coil whine issues on 7800xt hellhound
@@emil-jorgensen i trade rx7800xt nitro+ for 7900xt red devil and she has coil whine😅 but it's not loud as phantom, only reason i did that deal is 100€ that i had to give to seller, super happy for that trade, 7900xt is 30% stronger then 7800xt in 4k
looks like this is the card to get, all the round ups are saying the best cooling of all brands.
Good to know!
Great review - very informative. I built my last PC 10 years ago, so researching now - the RGB colors is intriguing. But, are you locked into selecting only a few different colors? or do I have full control over the 'R, the G and the B to customize as I see fit?
Thank you. No, unfortunately not. I think I mention in the video that I tried the software and it didn't work, it's just hardwired blue purple or off.
I got the gorgeous Hellhound 7800xt Spectral for Christmas. Possibly the best white card on the market. I don't use raytracing, so this card more than meets my gaming and photo processing needs.
Glad it's working well for you!
im getting the same one
On the details the clock speed of the hellound is 2400mhz ,but on every test i see 2550mhz... is it stock like this or its manually overclocked?
Might be reffering to the boost clock then the 2400 is the base.
@@jordanash thanks for the answer,so it reaches 2550 without touching settings?
No problem. Yep!
It took me twenty minutes to muster up the strength to pay the whopping 550 dollars but I did it. Hopefully it’s worth it!
It would for me too. It's great, enjoy ☺
Should I buy the AsRock Rx 7800 xt or the Powercolor Rx 7800 xt hellhound?
I dont care about look, i just care about cooling, power, fps, etc
LG
This is the only one I've used. I'd google one vs the other, that's all I'd be doing to tell you, so you just as well do that yourself :)
they saved 50 cents with puting nothing in the box. I was kind of shocked when i opened mine with that but gpu is top notch in all aspects other than is quite long..
Yeah it was surprising there was literally nothing extra, great card though isn't it.
@@jordanash quickly forgoten when i saw it 1st time.. I like it a lot but Sapphire has cool looking Nitro plus also but its bit more expensive ..
i like your brit accent :D
also 2nd time finding you overviewing smthn i am interested in, good content mate :)
Haha thanks. Maybe that's a sign to subscribe, it's free after all 😊
oh i did that the moment i left comment :)@@jordanash
Legend, cheers
Thank you for this review. Just a heads up. Not sure if I missed it but I am not sure what software you were using at 12:25. If it's Hardware info then it's not always accurate. I don't know how you do your tests but a collegue of mine developed his own GUI to get a detailed look and get information what all temps he gets. His setup for that is a bit overkill since he hooked up Arduinos for this. For your use case, I think you should use a thermodynamic sensor. Not sure how they are actually called but you can make screenshots with them.
It's usually HW info yeah. To be honest it's just to give the viewer a rough idea on temps, it doesn't need to be ultra specific.
Damn... you holding the card makes it look small xD it barely fits in my little girl hands
Haha, I do have big hands 😅
Thanks for the review!
My pleasure!
never heard of this brand....have i missed them or they new, guessing chinese?
They've been around for years, I first saw them in 2014
Should I go this or Gaming OC from gigabyte?
I've not used that so I'd just Google one vs the other, that's all I could offer you, so you just as well do that yourself
Hey! What you think, is there big diffrence between difrent rx 7800 xt:s for example Saphire Pulse vs powercolor hellhound
Hello. I've not used any other 7800XTs, so without testing it I'd just Google one vs the other. That's all I could do to help, but you can do that yourself anyway
so its the same size and everything as the normal amd card??
Not sure on the normal card size, as you can see I had other AIB cards
hi I would like to buy it, it doesn't weigh much, right? Do you need support to hold it? I have B550 MSI motherboard
You won't need a support, no ☺
Hey Quick question, the hellhound vs red devil, is there any reason to not get the red devil if it is the same price as the hellhound? in my region the hellhound has been out of stock ever since launch, and today i found amazon selling it for the same price as the hellhound's listed price in my region so i pulled the trigger. In terms of thermals and power draw and performance i assume the red devil is the winner. Let me know if im wrong, i dont know much about gpus, was gonna buy a hellhound but if its same price
No reason not to at all. As far as I can remember the red devil is clocked a little higher too. I'd put a guess on the hellhound being out of stock as its a more neutral colour over the red devil which won't fit everyone's pc themes.
@@jordanash yeah I actually prefer the hellhound look over red devil but I can live with it, thanks for the reply!
Same here! No worries
The hellhound model is now available and it's cheaper too, it's right at MSRP so I cancelled the red devil and got it! I guess I'm team hellhound haha
Haha fair play
is hellhound the best model?
Out of PowerColor cards the Red devil is their highest end model
but hellhound is best for its price right?@@jordanash
Most affordable in the lineup yeah
The Hellhound seems like one of the best value options, a good balance of cooling quality and overall cost. Powercolor has been one of the best manufacturers for AMD cards for the last few generations. However, I have seen some cheap models from them, but maybe they've decided to improve the quality on their most basic models starting either last generation or this generation. Powercolor might have caught up to Sapphire now in terms of quality (arguably they realized that Sapphire's approach is the best, and sort-of copied their strategy).
@@syncmonism Nope, sapphire is still well ahead. Powercolor is great, well priced and good performance but they tend to have a lot of coil whine, sapphire just has better designs and uses higher quality components.
Going to be doing this with an AMD 7900X on a 1080p monitor, will be buying a 2K soon, but should be alright on frames for now.
It'll smash frames at 1080P
Question mate, which one would be the best option between the Hellhound and Gigabyte 7800xt?. Cheers
I've not seen anything about the Gigabyte. I'd just Google one vs the other and see which comes out on top. That's all I'd be doing as an answer, but you can do that anyway yourself ☺
having a question, my case gpu size limit is 33cm so i cant fit it with the "bracket" what is the bracket for ? Can i remove it ?
You need the bracket to secure it onto the case, but case size limits don't take the bracket into account anyway.
Thank you for you answer !@@jordanash
You're welcome
Which RX 7700 XT would you buy for the same price? Hellhound or the FIGHTER
The Hellhound, I like the design more. Also, please don't spam comments on my videos, I do see all of them.
@@jordanash Do you think there is any difference in performance or just aesthetics?
I think the clock might be slightly higher. I'd Google one vs the other, that's all I'd do to tell you so you just as well look it up ☺
@@jordanash Thank you my friend, I'll do some research, I'm from another country, but specifically from South America, so I have difficulty understanding you because the languages are different hahaha but I thank you from the bottom of my heart, have a great week
I looked it up for you ☺ the Hellhound has a higher boost clock, so go for that one.
I just built it in my new PC. Reffering to the dual BIOS mode, would you prefer the Silent or the OC mode?
70% of the games I normally play, don't need the most amount of power, but im looking forward to play newer games...
OC, it's not overly loud anyway I'd rather get the max performance out of it. In your case you're unlikely to hear it if you're not thrashing it.
@@jordanash wow, thanks for the fast answer!
It makes no difference whether the cables are connected to the card from above or below, right?
And is it normal that the card is a little bit tilted to the right? I mean it's quiet large so I assume it's not a problem? (Sorry this is my first self-assembled PC and I'm a bit over-particular 😅)
No problem, I try my best to answer as many comments as I can.
No issue no, it's more for looks. As long as the connector is in the right way the rest is up to you.
Card sag is normal as they're so heavy and big nowadays, it's fine. You can get little stands if you want it perfectly straight, but it won't hurt it ☺
Why did they have to make it 332mm long 🙄🙄, i have a Fractal Torent Compact and its so hard to find a gpu that fits that 330mm lenght..
Ah damn that's a shame
Do you think i would be able to fit it ? It says 322 without bracket and 332 with bracket, i dont understand what they mean by that that. This model is like 50 euros cheaper then all other 3 fan models.I might go for SAPPHIRE NITRO+ version since its 320mm if this doesnt fit.@@jordanash
Width with the overhang of the PCI bracket I guess. If the overall room is 330 then I'd go for the Sapphire, save risking disappointment
What was it's max temp at 100% utilization and how loud are the fans at 100%?
Max temps are covered in the video. They're loud at 100% but temps don't get high enough for them to need it, they only do it on PC boot.
The Hellhound is among the quietest 7800 XT customs on the market. Max RPM under load is about 800 for me, which is so silent you cannot hear the card at all.
good temperature
Yeah!
@@jordanash interesting red devil, something better?
There's a video on that - ua-cam.com/video/xlb9z3n3Pgg/v-deo.html
The red devil is more expensive in my area should I get that one instead or just opt to get the hellhound? I care about performance I idk which one to get
Red devil has a higher clock that's why it's more expensive, if it's more than $/£30-40 then I wouldn't worry, this one is great anyway
Yeah you won't notice it, but the increase allows them to charge more.
What is that beautiful rgb strip 5 cm below your GPU?
That's built into the case - Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2
@@jordanash awesome, it looks really nice!
Yeah, it's a great touch.
Got the red devil and the hellhound 7800xt the same cooling System? I found only tests for the hellhound Version. This card should be very Cold an do no noise while gaming.
Not sure sorry
@@jordanash okay sad..
I don't have a Powecolor contact or I could ask, this was sent by Scan.
Loved this review. Regarding card length, is PowerColour's measurement of 322mm accurate? My case fits up to 330.
Thank you for watching. Yeah it is, I've just checked again too. That doesn't include the overhand of the bracket, but case manufacturers don't include that in space tolerances anyway.
Sounds like an nr200 to me
Jordan you have any videos on how to undervold the 7800 XT ? been looking to buy the 7800XT Hellhound ty for sharing
I don't no, sorry. They run fairly cool and I don't see many people undervolting GPU's now, only CPU's.
@@jordanash : still appreciated the Honesty...
I could look at doing one if the demand is there, but a CPU one would definitely on top of the list.
@@jordanash if you do manke a CPU video would it Be AMD or Intel ?
I'd do both, either separately or in one video
I've been playing starfield 1440p ultra and it's been good so far. If you're getting coilwhine its because you are playing games where the frame rate is too high, you need to use in-game limiter or AMD chill. There's no reason to play games over 100fps much less 200 fps.
What frame rate are you getting at ultra?
I bought a 7900xt Hellhound a few weeks ago. It had terrible coil whine even if i limited it to 60 fps. I returned it and bought a different card. Judging by my experience and other reviews, I think Powercolor may have some quality control issues.
Seams to bit hit and miss, as the three I have are all fine
@@jordanash high 70s in doors, low 70s out doors
On a 7800XT?
Can you recommend this card for an ultra wide resolution 3440 x 1440 to push high settings?
Depends on the game in most cases, like I showed in the video some games get half the fps of others. Being the ultra wide is a little longer resolution, you could expect slightly lower fps that what I show in the video. If you can be more specific with the games you play, I can give you a better idea.
@@jordanash How about:
Red Dead Redemption 2
The Last of us
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Star wars: Jedi Survivor
Thanks!
Those should be alright with this, I think the games I played in the video are more demanding
@@jordanash cheers!
No probs
Is the entire front around the fans made of aluminium or plastic?
It's metal yeah, very sturdy
@@jordanash Thank you very much for the answer. I've been thinking about it for several days and there was no information about it on the internet. I'm very glad it's aluminium because the Nitro+ and Merc 319 also have the front made of aluminium. It seems like this Hellhound will be my next GPU.
Sorry, its actually plastic. I thought I'd just check, my apologies
@@jordanash ok, thx for the reply. I'm disappointed since the Hellhound should be a premium model.
This is the one of the cheapest in the lineup in the UK. To be fair, even the 4080 Strix, the highest end model has a plastic bezel to it. It's more about what's under it
Love the shirt!
Thank you!
Hi,
I am looking to buy/build a PC
My current budget is 900-1000$ don't want RGB. I am also looking for a good motherboard which would support future upgrades for RAM etc... And also if I can install a good GPU in this same budget. for 1080p or 1440p resolution whichever works with the budget.
Can you kindly suggest configurations
Best thing I can recommend is searching here for $1000 pc build. My friend geekawhat does a lot of priced budget builds.
Thanks for your review. What do you think is better to get ? Powercolor fighter or Sapphire pulse ? And will i win much by paying a bit more for example for Powercolor Hellhound ?
You're welcome. I've not used the other cards, so I'd recommend just searching one vs the other on google. That's all I'd be doing to tell you the differences but you can do that for yourself.
@@jordanash thx for quick response!
No worries.
which one would you choose between the sapphire pure and hellhound?
Hard to tell without testing the other.
@@jordanash can you make a video about the sapphire pure if possible
It is *very* difficult to get these cards and when I do I have to commit to a list of content for them, so it's unlikely, sorry.
