AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB Review Featuring XFX MERC 319

3DMark Timespy Extreme

Time Spy Extreme is a new 4K DirectX 12 benchmark test, available in 3DMark Advanced and Professional Editions. You don’t need a 4K monitor to run it, but you will need a GPU with at least 4 GB of dedicated memory. With its 4K Ultra HD rendering resolution, Time Spy Extreme is an ideal benchmark test for the latest high-end graphics cards. The CPU test has been redesigned to let processors with 8 or more cores perform to their full potential

3DMark is available on Steam here.

Kicking things off with some synthetics and in Timespy Extreme, we see a small 4% uplift from the 6800 XT to the 7800 XT in both the the overall score and graphics score, so not off to the best start here.

3DMark Port Royal

3DMark Port Royal is the world’s first real-time ray tracing benchmark for gamers. It shows you how well your PC handles ray-tracing effects in real time. Use Port Royal to benchmark graphics cards that support Microsoft DirectX Raytracing. Compare Port Royal benchmark scores to see how overclocking affects ray-tracing performance. Find your PC’s performance limits with custom benchmark settings and detailed hardware monitoring charts.

3DMark is available on Steam here.

Then in Port Royal we start to see some better numbers with the 7800 XT coming in 19% faster than the 6800 XT, and also ahead of the 6900 XT, while rivalling the 6950 XT. As expected NVIDIA’s RTX 4070 has it beat here, but only by 4% so this could be an interesting one.
