Asus launches new dual-fan RX 7900 XT/XTX graphics cards — still with triple 8-pin power and a factory overclock

Dual-fan cooler designs are relatively scarce in the ultra high-end/flagship GPU space — excepting the quite large RTX 4090, RTX 4080 Super, and RTX 4080 Founders Editions, naturally. Asus has opted to join the group of large and powerful dual-fan coolers with new cards powered by AMD's flagship RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT GPUs, which rank among the best graphics cards.

These Asus models might technically be classified as "entry-level" solutions, which would be an interesting move. The RX 7900 XTX Dual OC and RX 7900 XT Dual OC, are two brand new Radeon 7000-series GPUs sporting a heavily beefed up version of Asus' Dual cooler design — typically found in its entry-level and mid-range GPUs. However, pricing and availability have not been disclosed at this time. Note that, at least looking at Newegg and other stores, these are also the first dual-fan RX 7900 XTX/XT cards to hit the U.S. market.

Asus' new Dual cards are anything but small, measuring 323x147x58 mm. That's quite a bit larger than AMD's RX 7900 XTX triple-fan reference design, which measures 287x123x51.5 mm, or the 7900 XT reference card's 276x113x51.5 mm. This applies to both variants since, as far as we can tell, both share the exact same cooler. That cooler on the 7900 XTX/XT sports the Dual-series trademark black finish, accompanied by a silver accent on the top left of the shroud. On the side, a strip of RGB lighting accompanies the aforementioned silver accent.
