Two graphics cards from AMD entered the market Wednesday afternoon that will fill the gap between the current high-end and low-end offering. In particular, these are the Radeon RX 7800 XT and 7700 XT models, both built on the Navi 32 chip, we discussed more detailed characteristics in a previous article. Along with the release, we also received reviews, for example, I can refer you to Techpowerup (7700 XT, 7800 XT) and YT Gamers Nexus (7700 XT, 7800 XT), Hardware Unboxed (7800 XT) or Daniel Owen channels. . A summary of the reviews can be found on the Videocardz website.
The reviews especially praise the older model in the form of the Radeon RX 7800 XT, priced at $499 (the cheapest version can be purchased here for just over 13,500 crowns). When rasterized, it offers comparable and often even better performance than the RTX 4070, which costs $100 more. Also, it has the benefit of more VRAM as it offers 16GB instead of the RTX 4070’s 12. On the other hand, it has slightly higher consumption.
In the Hardware Unboxed table, the RX 7800 XT turned out to be the card with the best price per frame, at least if we’re talking about the current generation and suggested retail price. AMD’s problem is that there are still latest generation cards on the market, like the RX 6700 XT, 6800 XT, and others, often at pretty bargain prices. And the inter-generational performance shift compared to the RX 6800 XT is really small for the 7800 XT (in the extreme case, the 7800 XT may have even worse performance), because the new card has fewer computing units and, purely in terms of them, it is larger than the RX 6800 successor, which corresponds to more low price.
In a slightly odd position is the low-end RX 7700 XT, which has fewer compute units and less video memory, but has a suggested retail price of just $50 lower (our cheapest model sells for just over 12,100 crowns). For an extra charge of around 10%, you often get around 20% extra performance. AMD compares the card primarily to the RTX 4060 Ti, which costs $499, and with the RX 7700 XT, it loses in almost all cases, often quite significantly, and in ray tracing the forces are balanced.
