Crazy Design: Yeston RX 7900 XTX Sakura Sugar GPU Review & Benchmarks

Sponsor: Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO on Amazon - The Yeston RX 7900 XTX Sakura Sugar uses AMD’s GPU at the core, but straps a wild color theme to the front and goes into surprising depth with creating entire characters around its cards. The Sakura Sugar 7900 XTX isn’t just a video-friendly meme card, though. In our in-depth thermal, noise, power, and gaming benchmarks, we found that it has many of the qualities that a “normal“ black-and-red “gamer“ card might have. This review includes the tear-down, benchmarks, and thoughts on whether the card is worth it. Note that the price seems to fluctuate frequently on this one. At the time we wrote the script, we saw it available for $1070. Now, it appears to be $1250. You’ll have to judge if it’s worth it depending on when you check!
