7800 XT

tl;dr - Roughly 6800 XT performance. Price is decent compared to other new cards.

Reviews

  • Gamers Nexus - “definitely an embarassing showing compared to the 6800 XT though”
  • Hardware Unboxed - “the 7800 XT is basically a 6800 XT in terms of performance” … “at 500 us there’s really nothing better in terms of value than the 7800 XT”
  • Toms Hardware - “gaming performance isn’t significantly better than the previous generation RX 6800 XT”
  • PCGamer - "Even now the 16GB RTX 4060 Ti has had a price cut down to $449, I would still recommend opting for this Radeon card instead. "
  • PCGamesN - “The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is the midrange graphics card the GPU space has been sorely needing”
  • IGN - “It comes in at a reasonable price in a time of ludicrously inflated GPU prices and delivers rasterization performance that punches above its weight class.”
  • Guru3d - ASUS TUF Version - " the RX 7800 XT closely mirrors its 6800XT/6900 XT predecessors within this competitive market segment"
  • HotHardware - “With traditional rasterization, the Radeon RX 7x00 cards looks great, but with Ray Tracing in the mix, NVIDIA often pulls ahead. Consider DLSS and FSR, and things get even dicier, especially when frame generation comes into play. And then there’s the previous-gen Radeons, with only about $90 separating the RX 6800 from the 6700 XT.”
  • Tweaktown - “The Radeon RX 7800 XT priced at USD 499 represents some real solid competition in the mid-range/enthusiast GPU market”

7700 XT

tl;dr - Price is less attractive given performance relative to the 7800 XT.

  • GamersNexus - “we’re wondering if this is a classic upsell here from AMD because the performance gap between them is larger than the price Gap might otherwise suggest”

  • Toms Hardware - “Most of the time it fails to impress relative to 7800 XT”

  • PCGames N - “feels more like an upsell for its sibling thanks to its price”

  • HotHardware -“the Radeon RX 7700 XT’s price is close enough to the Radeon RX 7800 XT’s that it makes a lot of sense to spring for the higher-end card”

*Guru3d - Sapphire Pulse - “Given the $449 tag, some might lean towards the 7800 XT, potentially aligning with AMD’s strategic positioning.”

    This release is perfectly timed for my build to upgrade an i7 9700 / RTX 2080. Only question now is a Ryzen 7700 or an Intel 13600kf. Any thoughts ?

          I’d have to look back at benchmarks, but I think there’s a few factors here - price and next upgrade. From what I remember those two were fairly similar in performance and just traded blows between games.

          AM5 is still a bit more expensive as a platform, but you can probably get a decent board and possibly upgrade the cpu&gpu in a few years to save longer term if you do a partial upgrade.

          The 13600kf build would likely be cheaper, but the 13th gen i think is the last before intel changes the socket. Your next build after this may be more expensive by needing more parts (depending on when you upgrade).

          Depending on when you build, you might wanna check for deals on the 7800x3d as it’s dropped to like 385$ recently. the uplift in some games is pretty substantial and it’s a beast for gaming. If it drops below that, it may be worth using that over the 7700. If price is an absolute limit, you’ll definitely save with the 13th gen intel.

            It’s 130 euros to upgrade from a 7700 with stock cooler to a 7800x3D with dark rock 4 cooler.

            That seems a bit steep, especially if I can upgrade the CPU in 3 years

              Oh wow, yeah. that’s too step. The gap here had narrowed during a recent sale to like 60-70$ and you probably could’ve used it longer than 3 years.

              If you don’t have a DR4 already, you might want to consider the thermalright peerless assassin, which is like half the price of the DR4 – and performs better/around the same. If you’ve got some spare 120mm fans lying around, you can get it at the same noise level too.
