AMD unveiled two new desktop graphics cards designed for 1440p gaming at Gamescom. The Radeon RX 7800 XT is expected to compete with Nvidia’s RTX 4070 at 549 euros, while the Radeon RX 7700 XT, priced at 489 euros, competes with the RTX 4060 Ti.
Mid-range graphics cards are on the rise with the Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT. you start 6 September 549 euros and 489 euros respectively Trade. As a bonus, a PC code for Bethesda’s Starfield is included with the purchase. The new models are positioned between the RX 7600 and RX 7900 XT AMD sees the Nvidia RTX 4070 (test) and RTX 4060 Ti (16 GB) as direct competition.
AAA games over 60 FPS in WQHD
According to the company, demanding titles with maximum graphics settings at WQHD (2,560 × 1,440 pixels) require an adequate graphics card to play. According to the June 2023 Steam Hardware Survey, the proportion of Steam users with 1440p displays increased by 44 percent in one year. Both cards are said to feature games like The Last of You Part 1, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy and the current CoD: Modern Warfare 2. 60 frames per second with maximum settings at WQHD Creation. However, AMD’s test systems were also equipped with 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and a Ryzen 9 7900X.
The main difference between the models is Number of compute units and memory configuration. Clock rates and power consumption are also slightly different. The most important key data can be found in the graphic below.
More memory bandwidth but higher power consumption than Nvidia
Compared to GeForce alternatives, AMD sees the new Radeon models as having an advantage, especially in terms of memory. The RTX 4070 is equipped with faster GDDR6X memory, but it only has a 192-bit interface and 504 gigabytes per second of memory bandwidth. AMD’s RX 7800 XT has four gigabytes more video memory, a 256-bit interface and 624 GB/s. Between the two memory variants of the RX 7700 XT RTX 4060 Ti with 12 GB of GDDR6, but the 192-bit interface ensures a higher bandwidth of 432 GB/s, while the Nvidia card has 128 bits or 288 GB/s.
Another advantage of AMD cards is DisplayPort 2.1 support, while Nvidia offers a maximum of DisplayPort 1.4. However, the higher power consumption of the Radeon models should be noted. Manufacturer specifies total board power RX 7800 XT mit 263 watts On, it’s with the RX 7700 XT 245 watts – The Nvidia competition, on the other hand, requires 200 or 160 watts. Accordingly, AMD requires two eight-pin power connectors.
FSR 3 for more FPS with frame interpolation
Incidentally, as an answer to Nvidia’s DLSS3 upsampling technology, AMD is introducing FSR3, which will significantly increase frame rates with frame interpolation. At Forspoken Games, a system with an RX 7800 XT, a Ryzen 5 7600X and 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM is called 122 FPS Create in UHD at “Ultra High” with ray tracing and FSR 3 performance Only 36 FPS natively (without FSR). Special features compared to Nvidia: FSR 3 running Also on older Nvidia and AMD cardsEven on current Xbox consoles. Board partners such as Asus, ASRock, Gigabyte, Sapphire and XFX reportedly have custom models of the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT ready for a September 6 launch.
