AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT finally arrive to challenge Nvidia

gamesradar.com:

AMD just officially announced the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, and the graphics card duo will cater to 1440p gaming setups. That places them in the same ring as both the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti, but the red team has made a popular decision with the latter in terms of VRAM. 

We’ve been waiting a while for more AMD contenders to enter the best graphics card race, but with the release of the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, the company has somewhat caught up. We’ve already got a full line-up of Nvidia GPUs following the GeForce RTX 4090 down the track, but every other model should now have an appropriate competitor on its heels. That’s ultimately a good thing, as it means midrange players now have a decent collection of components to choose from, rather than just new-gen GeForce options that perform similar tricks.

Scheduled to release on September 6th, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT will come in at $499, while the Radeon RX 7800 XT will cost $449. That means they occupy a gap in the market between the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 Ti, with the RX 7800 seemingly offering better performance than the former. That part as key, as AMD could capture players looking to dabble with 4K PC gaming without forking out for premium options.

According to AMD’s specs, the Radeon RX 7800 XT will come armed with 16GB GDDR6 VRAM and a 256-bit memory bus, while the RX 7700 XT wields 12GB. Despite featuring less memory, the former has 54 CU (Compute Units) compared to 60 with the RX 7800 XT, which isn’t too much of a drop considering. Clock speeds aren’t drastically
