AMD's new top-of-the-line card appears to be smaller, more affordable and more efficient than the RTX 40-series' beefiest boy, and that's a huge win for AMD as Nvidia braces for what could be a bruising 2023. If that sounds like you, it's understandable why you might count your pennies and hold out for a new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 instead of an AMD card.īut for the rest of us, there's good reason to be more excited about the Radeon RX 7900 XTX than the RTX 4090. Of course, expert testing reveals the edge Nvidia's cards hold for those who really care about ray tracing. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX appears to outperform Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 in many cases despite costing $200 less, and the 7900 XT performs nearly as well if you want to save another $100. The first round of reviews suggest AMD has some hot cards on its hands. Outlook: AMD's latest give Nvidia reason to worry However, this is in part because FSR support isn't in common in games as DLSS support, so hopefully that will change if AMD encourages more developers to integrate more effective FSR support. The Verge's Radeon RX 7900 XT / XTX review points out that while AMD's new cards offer competitive or better performance than Nvidia's latest GPUs for less money, Nvidia's DLSS 3 upscaling tech still outshines AMD's equivalent FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) tech. Ray tracing in action during a tech demo running on an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. In games like A Plague Tale: Requiem, Forza Horizon 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, AMD's new Radeon RX 7900 XTX outperformed Nvidia's 4080 at 4K with everything cranked to Ultra settings. Specifically, our compatriots at Tom's Hardware discovered that the RX 7900 XTX outperforms the more expensive GeForce RTX 4080 when running many games at maxed-out settings in 4K.

png as always, so Im guessing its the other issue. That's because it seems to deliver performance significantly better than the 7900 XT for just $100 more, outclassing Nvidia's $1,200 GeForce RTX 4080 in many areas. I did not alter any settings, but now when I take a photo in photo mode, the textures flicker slightly for a moment, then it seems that the photo has been saved but when I try to open it in the folder, Im getting a message saying that the format is wrong or the file is corrupted. While the Radeon RX 7900 XT sounds like a great card, the first wave of reviews make its beefier sibling the RX 7900 XTX sound like the card to buy. When the testers bumped the resolution down to 1440p or 1080p, that performance got even better.

In Gizmodo's testing, the RX 7900 was able to consistently achieve 60 fps running games like Cyberpunk 2077, Far Cry 6 and Forza Horizon 5 at high settings in 4K. That said, by all reports the RX 7900 XT remains a great card for pure gaming performance, even at 4K.
