InnoReviews verdict

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX wins this graphics card face-off, 62.7 to 52.2, pulling ahead mainly in rasterization (+16) and compute (+13). AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT still makes sense if its price or standout specs fit your needs better.

Editor's note

Doubling the price ($499 to $999) buys 30% more frames at 4K (86 versus 66 FPS in our data) and 24GB of VRAM. That math only works if you drive a 4K monitor or work with the VRAM. At 1440p the 7800 XT already averages 117 FPS — comfortably past most monitors' refresh sweet spot — making it the value verdict of AMD's whole RDNA 3 stack. Buy resolution, not the bigger number.
