Meanwhile, the Radeon 7900 XT would be 38% more expensive at its suggested $900 retail pricing at launch. The AMD Radeon 6800 XT was released back in November 2020 for $650, but due to the crypto boom, getting any graphics card near that MSRP was mission impossible at the time. With that out of the way, let's talk about the match up. It was also available for a longer period of time, and was generally much more affordable, so we believe considerably more Radeon 6800 XT's were sold to gamers. We could have used either the Radeon 6800 XT or 6950 XT for this comparison, but ultimately decided on the 6800 XT as it was the more sensible product at the MSRP. These days, the 6900 XT is all sold out, leaving the 6800 XT at around $570, while the Radeon 6950 XT can be had for $680, making it ~20% more expensive for roughly ~20% more performance. Typically you could expect to pay ~50% more for the Radeon 6900 XT for a mere 10% boost over the 6800 XT. We want to see how these two GPUs compare in a massive sample of games, but you might be wondering, why the 6800 XT and not the 6900 XT or 6950 XT? The reason is that the Radeon 6800 XT was the sensible choice among Radeon GPUs, much like how the RTX 3080 10GB was the last sensible GeForce GPU, at least based on the MSRP. It will be in the AMD Advantage editions of the Alienware M16 and M18, and Asus' TUF Gaming A16.Today we're comparing AMD's best value high-end GPU from the previous generation, the Radeon RX 6800 XT, to the new Radeon RX 7900 XT, which with a recently discounted price of $800 is kind of decent value for gamers shopping in the premium segment. It's expected to add more performance sometime in the first half of 2023.Įxpect to see the Radeon 7000 series graphics in laptops from February. AMD says its 8GB mobile GPU beats the 12GB Nvidia desktop RTX 3060 in Hitman 3 with 184fps to the 3060's 160fps.ĪMD continues that the RX 7700S can reach 87fps in Cyberpunk 2077 and 147sfps in Death Stranding at maxed-out 1080p graphics.ĪMD is developing a new DLSS upscale, called Smart Shift RSR, which will reportedly be "decoupled from the GPU". The RX 7600M XT is the most powerful new mobile GPU in the series and can use up to 120 watts of power. All four cards are based on the RDNA 3 architecture, but built on the TSMC's 6nm process, instead of the newer 5nm one. The Radeon 7000 series laptop GPUs all have 8GB GDDR6 memory and a 128-bit memory interface. These cards will directly rival Nvidia's RXT 3060 laptop GPUs so expect more powerful Radeon 7000 GPUs later on in 2023. AMD used its CES 2023 press conference to detail the new Ryzen 7000 CPUs and to announce that Radeon 7000 GPUs are coming to laptops.ĪMD unveiled four new Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards - the RX 7600M XT, RX 7600M, RX 7700S, and RX 7600S - S for efficiency, M for performance (the same nomenclature as on the RX 6000 series).
