AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT GPU Reportedly On Par With RX 6800 XT In 3DMark Time Spy Benchmark

wccftech.com:

AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 7700 XT GPU is reportedly going to be almost as fast as the Radeon RX 6800 XT in 3DMark Time Spy.

AMD announced its Radeon RX 7700 XT graphics card last week, featuring the brand new Navi 32 GPU core based on the RDNA 3 architecture. During the launch presentation, AMD compared the Radeon RX 7700 XT against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti but didn't show the performance that it's capable of offering versus its RDNA 2 predecessors.

Well, it looks like HXL (@9550pro) has managed to get some early information about the synthetic performance within 3DMark Time Spy and it looks surprisingly good. It is claimed that the Radeon RX 7700 XT scores around 17,000 points within the graphics test in 3DMark Time Spy. If we were to compare this score against the RDNA 2 cards, then the card would comfortably sit on par with the Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card which was an enthusiast-grade product during its launch, based on the Navi 21 GPU.

In addition to the alleged performance number, we also get to see the GPU-z screenshot of AMD's Radeon RX 7700 XT graphics card. Do note that this is the unsupported version so certain metrics may not be correct such as ROPs which are confirmed to be 96. Interestingly, the GPU die size has been listed at 346mm2 which if correct should be just slightly bigger than the Navi 22 GPU which measured at 335mm2. That's a 3% bigger die size but we should also remember that the die size counts the entire die area which also includes the MCDs so the GCD area should be much smaller than the Navi 22 die.

While synthetic performance isn't an actual representation of gaming performance, the 3DMark Time Spy score against the RX 7600 shows that the card is a very formidable option with its price
