HellHound Spectra White edition, which is $539 For those who prioritize silent operation and a refined design might find this white variant more appealing than the standard model. Despite its commendable performance and aesthetics, while the overall price point is significant, we bow to PowerColor for upholding the MSRP. As far as RX 7800 XT cards go, this was one of the best we've tested to date.

It’s not that we ever get blasé, but rather that a product has to be truly special to make us stop and stare. The PowerColor Hellhound is definitely a card which fits into that category. The attention to detail is spectacular. Many companies will give you a white fan shroud. Some will go with a white backplate too. That’s usually where things stop. Those with more attention to detail might go so far as to install white fans. How often do you see a card that has made everything white? Backplate, heatsink, heatpipes, cables, plastics, even the IO bracket is white on the Hellhound. It’s a stunning card to look at.

As impressed as we were with AMD's reference RX 7800 XT, the PowerColor RX 7800 XT Hellhound has improved on the MBA design quite significantly and is well worth looking at if you're in the market for one of these new graphics cards.

Another win! Today in Kitguru, leading UK influencer / Media, they rated PowerColor one of the top graphics cards to buy in 2023!

The PowerColor Radeon RX 7800 XT Red Devil runs significantly cooler under full load despite the smaller heat sink and also uses less power.

The test winner and possibly the absolutely perfect mid-range graphics card is the PowerColor Radeon RX 7800 XT Hellhound.

With a fan speed of just 830 revolutions, the hellhound is virtually inaudible - there is absolutely no noticeable air rush, only a few bearing noises can be heard. This makes the PowerColor card perfect for a silent PC.

In summary, the white version of the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Hellhound offers an excellent implementation with very good color matching and remarkable use of materials. The large cooler ensures that the card remains surprisingly quiet even under full load. The performance is great and thanks to AMD's driver optimization, it can outperform the GeForce RTX 4080 in almost all scenarios. Only in ray tracing titles does the RTX 4080 have an advantage, consuming less power overall than the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Hellhound.
