At the beginning of November the company AMD came to the market with the new Graphic card Radeon RX 7900 XTX. According to experts, this is the only device to compete with the designs and performance of NVIDIA, a leader in this market.
However, in recent days a user of Reddit He came up against strong criticism on the social network for the temperatures that the device reached, when he demanded the highest levels of quality.
According to what the portal reviews hard zonethe Reddit user states that with when running games in 4K, on the Radeon graphics card AMD RX 7900 XTXthis exceeded 100ºC.
The same user maintains that these are “absurd temperatures” for this type of device. However, because the complaint went viral and reached AMD representatives, they responded by saying that “it is normal for it to reach 110ºC”.
Therefore, they are refusing to refund this user for those specific reasons. Hard Zone, an expert in this type of subject, explains that when the card reaches these temperatures, a protective mechanism is activated in which the frequencies are reduced.
This situation obviously causes a loss of performance, seeking to protect the GPU. Hence, the user has requested a refund of his money.

The new AMD card stands out for its new architecture, RDNA3. This is precisely the element that makes the graphics achieve a performance never seen before in the reproduction of visual content.
With the intention of interacting with 4K graphics, they have a 24 GB GDDR6 memory that works in unison with a second generation Ray Tracing accelerator. They work with a machine learning mechanism to always try to perform at the best possible quality.
This machine learning, related to Artificial Intelligence, is executed thanks to the “second-generation AMD Infinity Cache technology capable of communicating with the chiplet with a bandwidth of up to 5.3 TB/s,” reported Hard Zone, in its first review of the device.
