AMD finally unveiled its highly anticipated Radeon RX 7800 XT and the RX 7700 XT desktop GPUs. Successors to the RX 6700 XT and the RX 6800 XT, the two new graphics cards sit comfortably between AMD’s top-end RX 7900 XTX/RX 7900 XT and entry-level RX 7600. Expanding the RDNA 3 lineup, both are claimed to offer the best 1440p gaming experience. But how do they compete against Nvidia’s offerings?
Related On the other hand, the RTX 4060 Ti was launched on May 24 at a starting price of $400. Available from a variety of board partners, it is the only card under the 4060 lineup that is also available as a first-party Founders Edition. Then there is also a 16GB version, which offers the same features but with double the amount of VRAM for between $450 and $530.Apart from offering more VRAM, the RX 7700 XT offers a higher count of ray tracing accelerators and a wider memory bus .
Beginning with games at 1440p resolution, the RX 7700 XT clearly lived up to AMD’s claims. It consistently offered higher average frame rates than the RTX 4060 Ti in every game that we tested. The biggest difference was in Forza Horizon 5 where the RX 7700 XT offered 140 frames per second while the 4060 Ti was close to 120 fps.
Finally in 3DMark’s Port Royal ray tracing test, the RX 7700 XT scored a thousand points higher than the 4060 Ti, which is a huge difference and proof that AMD has definitely put in the effort to improve ray tracing performance on its new GPUs. Even in 3DMark Time Spy, the 4060 Ti scored 13,862 points which is way behind the RX 7700 XT that scored 16,498 points.
