AMD announces RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards to face off against RTX 4070 and 4060 Ti

eurogamer.net:

AMD has officially unveiled its RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT graphics cards, finally completing its RDNA 3 lineup after announcing its first GPUs in November last year. Both cards are intended to target 1440p displays and run games at max settings, including ray tracing, above 60fps. They'll also support AMD's exciting new frame generation technologies, which we've written up as a separate article after going hands-on with FSR 3 and Fluid Motion Frames at Gamescom.

Both graphics cards use the new Navi 32 GPU. The 7800 XT gets the fully-enabled 60CU version with a 256-bit memory bus, 64MB of Infinity Cache and 16GB of GDDR6 memory running at 19.5Gbps, while the 7700 XT is cut-down — but not by much at all. It uses a 54CU design with a 192-bit bus and 48MB of Infinity Cache, backed with 12GB of GDDR6 running at 18Gbps. TDP figures are also very similar, at 245W vs 263W, with the 7700 XT clocked higher to make up for its lower CU complement.

AMD's performance data looks impressive here, with the RX 7800 XT trading blows with the RTX 4070 and the RX 7700 XT more convincingly dealing with the RTX 4060 Ti. Both cards are also shown exceeding 60fps at max settings in a host of recent AAA releases, including The Last of Us Part 1, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

AMD points to leads for the 7800 XT against the RTX 4070 by up to 23 percent in Modern Warfare 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy, while being up to 18 percent behind in RT titles such as Dying Light 2, Marvel's Spider Man: Miles Morales, F1 23 and Doom Eternal. The 7700 XT is relatively more competitive, with up to a 31 percent lead in MW2 and only losing to the 4060 Ti by nine percent in Doom Eternal with RT.
