5 best AIB models for AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is among the fastest graphics cards money can buy today. The GPU is the second-best option for gaming, losing only to the RTX 4090, which costs 60% more.

Thus, the 7900 XTX is a solid option for gamers looking to build a high-end gaming rig in 2023. The card is currently available on store shelves at or near MSRP and, in many aspects, makes more sense than the flagship RTX 4090 and the $1,200 RTX 4080.

However, while purchasing the latest and greatest from Team Red, gamers will get multiple options from partner manufacturers. In total, there are 23 models from the add-in board variants. Thus, we have compiled a list of the best video card models.
