AMD's new RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT are solid performers, and they might finally be the Nvidia killers Team Red has promised for years.
AMD RX 7800 XT MSRP $500.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “Faster and cheaper than the Nvidia competition, the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT are excellent.” Pros Cons Graphics cards are a lot more expensive than they used to be, and that’s mainly due to Nvidia. Short of the RTX 4060, all of its current-gen cards are more expensive than their last-gen counterparts, sometimes by hundreds of dollars. With the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, AMD is hitting Nvidia where it hurts the most.
From a competitive standpoint, that extra VRAM can make a big difference. The $400 RTX 4060 Ti comes with 8GB of VRAM, and you’ll need to spend between $450 and $530 if you want the same card with 16GB. Similarly, the $600 RTX 4070 comes with 12GB of VRAM, but even that amount is being challenged in some games at higher resolutions, including Resident Evil 4 and The Last of Us Part 1.
That’s roughly the same as the RX 7700 XT’s gen-on-gen improvement over the RX 6700 XT as well. In Time Spy, which is a 1440p DirectX 12 gaming benchmark, AMD is coming out clearly ahead. It’s worth pointing out that this average doesn’t include The Last of Us Part 1 and Resident Evil 4, which I don’t have enough data for at 4K. Including those games likely wouldn’t favor Nvidia’s GPUs due to the fact that they’re both heavily limited by VRAM. Still, keep that in mind if you’re comparing the numbers between different resolutions.
1440p performance AMD says the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT shine at 1440p, and my testing backs that up. The RX 7800 XT takes a clear lead over the RTX 4070, ending up 9% faster on average. Even more impressive is the RX 7700 XT, which is 23% faster on average based on my testing. The most shocking win came in Cyberpunk 2077, though, where the RX 7800 XT actually managed a win over the $800 RTX 4070 Ti. It’s a fraction of a frame, but it goes to show how much of a pricing correction AMD’s two new GPUs represent.
Previous Next 1 of 4 It’s worth highlighting these games because AMD’s new cards lead in everything else. Even down at 1080p, where the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT seem their weakest, most games tell the same story we’ve seen at higher resolutions. Previous Next 1 of 5 I won’t retread ground here, but you can slide through my 1080p benchmarks above. They show similar results as 1440p.
