AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is a pretty good GPU, at least relative to its GeForce competitor, but whether or not it's worth $1,000 will depend on how much stock you place in ray tracing performance. For those with previous generation flagships, the 7900 XTX simply won't be worth the upgrade and while it's a big leap forward from something like the Radeon 6800, it's also roughly twice the price, so it's not moving the needle forward in terms of value.

  • Just ok creative workload performance

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 vs. AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX: Essentially, if you want the best of the best, it's the RTX 4090, which appeals to those with ample budgets. The 7900 XTX, on the other hand, really has to earn your money. While it might be 18% cheaper than the RTX 4080 for similar overall performance, its ray tracing performance is often much worse, and its feature set can be lacking, either in support or quality.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs. Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080: The Re-Review: As we mentioned at the outset of this review, considering the best pricing for each GPU, the Radeon 7900 XTX is 15% more affordable than the GeForce RTX 4080. In terms of rasterization performance, the Radeon GPU often outperforms the RTX, particularly at 4K where it was 7% faster on average.

By TechSpot on

Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs. GeForce RTX 4080: The 7900 XTX is competing with a far worse value product in the RTX 4080, and while the Radeon GPU is cheaper, it's also generally inferior when it comes to ray tracing performance, it still lacks a true upscaling competitor to the widely supported DLSS, it sucks down quite a bit more power and driver support isn't as mature with a few strange niggles here and there.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is one of the most powerful graphics cards on the market, making it ideal for 4K gaming and creative professionals. The magic of DLSS will still prove tempting to switch over to Nvidia, but the RX 7900 XTX undoubtedly offers better value than the RTX 4090 for raw 4K performance.

The ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC Edition is a 4K beast and a direct competitor to the GeForce RTX 4080. It's also a custom 7900 XTX from ASUS that benefits from some OC action, better thermals, and impressive cooling.

The Radeon RX 7900 XTX and XT are a solid step forward for AMD, especially when it comes to 4K gaming. But I'm hoping the company can get its driver situation in order, and perhaps eke out better ray tracing performance in the process. Most gamers are still better off waiting for AMD and NVIDIA's next-gen mid-range cards, which are sure to be launching soon. But if you're an avowed AMD fan, you've finally got the high-end upgrade you've been waiting for.

With its excellent performance and extremely competitive price, AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX is late 2022's best graphics card option for around $1,000.

For hundreds of dollars less, AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX both sprints past the RTX 4080 and challenges the RTX 4090 too—it can sometimes beat Nvidia’s best GPU. Its compact reference design and use of traditional 8-pin power connectors lets it fit into most PCs easily as well. AMD’s latest also offers acceptable ray tracing performance, though Nvidia holds its lead. The XTX isn’t perfect—some sporadic bugs did appear during our tests—but overall it’s a great card without a price premium over last gen.

The 7900 XTX really is a BEAST of a card, so the big question is, are you going to get one, are you going to wait for the AIB cards, or are you waiting for something lower-end that can harness the true potential of RDNA 3? I can’t see them being too far away, maybe with CES around the corner, that’s what AMD will announce? It’s an exciting time to be a gamer, and most importantly, will we now see the RTX 4080 drop in price? We’ll have to wait and see.

The RX 7900 XTX is on average 32% faster than the 6950 XT at 1440p and 39% faster at 4K, while the margins stretch to 42% and 51% against the RX 6900 XT, respectively. It's still a very solid uplift gen-on-gen, but those who saw AMD's 1st party benchmarks and were expecting 50-70% gains over the 6950 XT may be disappointed.

AMD delivers some impressive performance per dollar, and it’s only really let down by the ray-tracing and upscaling performance. If you don’t care about ray tracing and you want pure rasterization performance, then the Radeon RX 7900 XTX will likely deliver. It excels in modern games, and for $200 less than the RTX 4080, it really puts the pressure on Nvidia’s pricing for this latest generation of GPUs.
