Based on the alleged 3DMark Time Spy performance, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT might end up being as fast as the Radeon RX 6800 XT GPU.
Following the rumored AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT 3DMark Time GPU performance, we now have another performance figure for the Radeon RX 7800 XT which comes straight from Kopite7kimi.
According to the leaker, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT which will be retailing for a price of $499 US at launch will offer 3DMark Time Spy graphics performance of around 19,000 points.
