Released at $400, this graphics card was set to compete against the GeForceRTX 2060 Super.
Wecompared the twoa couple of years ago across a wide range of games.
In short, the Radeon was 13% faster on average, marking a fairly comfortable win.
The article is split into two sections.
For testing we’re using ourRyzen 7 7800X3Dtest system with 32GB of DDR5-6000 CL30 memory.
For those looking to upgrade, the 7700 XT is 64% faster.
We also observed another case where the 7700 XT significantly boosts performance by almost 70%.
As expected, the 7700 XT was much faster, boosting performance in this example by 71%.
Even at 1440p, we were still looking at 92 fps.
This performance made it only slightly slower than the RTX 2070, 6650 XT, and RTX 3060.
For a 46% performance boost, one could upgrade to the 7700 XT.
For those seeking an upgrade, the7700 XToffered a staggering 82% faster performance in this example.
But even when compared to current-generation products such as the RTX 4060, the performance is impressive.
Still, one can achieve an almost 60% performance boost with the 7700 XT.
This also meant that the 7700 XT was 73% faster, averaging 173 fps.
That means it’s roughly equivalent to a modern $270 GPU, so not bad at all.
For those of you interested in the 1440p data, here’s the 12-game average.
In this example, the 7700 XT was 61% faster on average.
For a five-year-old mid-range GPU, that’s a great result.
Ideally, we’d want well over 200 fps on a 144Hz+ display.
A 75% render scale should work well.
Therefore, we went back to the medium preset and enabled FSR quality upscaling.
This boosted frame rates to around 80-90 fps, and now the experience was excellent.
Thus, arguing that the 5700 XT misses out on ray tracing is seriously clutching at straws.
So although it’s been a while, such is the pace of GPU progress over the past half-decade.
