AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards are set to launch next week, and leaked 3DMark benchmarks have given us a glimpse of their performance.
The benchmarks, which were run on 3DMark Time Spy and 3DMark Fire Strike at 4K and 1440P presets, show that the RX 7900 XTX and XT are able to hold their own against the popular NVIDIA RTX 4080. These benchmarks provide valuable insight into the synthetic performance of these upcoming AMD graphics cards.
3DMark Time Spy Benchmark
In the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark, the RX 7900 XTX is over 50% faster than the Radeon RX 6950 XT, and the RX 7900 XT is over 25% faster. However, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 still manages to outperform both AMD cards, with a score that is 12% higher than the RX 7900 XTX and 18% higher than the RX 7900 XT.
3DMark Time Spy Extreme Benchmark
In the more demanding 3DMark Time Spy Extreme benchmark, the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT are just 5% slower than the NVIDIA RTX 4080, but still manage to outperform their predecessor, the Radeon RX 6950 XT, by about 50%. This suggests that the new AMD cards are capable of delivering impressive performance in demanding workloads.
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme Benchmark
In the 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme benchmark, the RX 7900 XTX was able to beat the NVIDIA RTX 4080 (even when overclocked), while the RX 7900 XT was within reach.
Additionally, the RX 7900 XT was 30% faster than the Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card. These results suggest that the new AMD cards are particularly well-suited to handling demanding workloads in this benchmark.
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra Benchmark
In the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra benchmark, the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT do lag behind the NVIDIA RTX 4080, but not by a huge margin. This may be because the AMD cards have not yet been fully optimized for lower resolutions, as both are designed for 4K gaming.
Blender Benchmark
The performance of the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT was also leaked in the Blender benchmark, which shows the NVIDIA RTX 4090 sitting around three times faster than the AMD RDNA 3 offerings, and the RTX 4080 around 2.5 times faster.
In comparison, the RX 7900 XTX was around 75% faster than the Radeon RX 6950 XT, but still lags behind the NVIDIA chips. These results suggest that the new AMD cards may not be able to compete with the latest NVIDIA offerings in terms of performance.
Gaming Performance
It’s important to note that the performance results mentioned above are based on synthetic benchmarks, and may not necessarily reflect the actual gaming performance of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT.
In particular, the cards’ performance in ray-tracing games remains to be seen, as this technology is becoming increasingly popular in both console and PC games. Therefore, it may be wise to wait a few more days before making a buying decision.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT Graphics Cards
AMD has officially revealed the specifications for its upcoming Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards. Both cards are based on the Navi 31 XTX GPU, which features 48 WGPs, 96 CUs, and 6144 cores.
The RX 7900 XTX has a base clock of 2.3 GHz and a boost clock of 2.5 GHz, delivering up to 61 TFLOPs of compute performance at a TBP of 355W.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Specifications
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card will utilize the full Navi 31 XTX GPU, which features a total of 6144 cores, a 384-bit bus, and 96 MB of Infinity Cache.
The GPU die is 308mm2 in size and is manufactured using a 5nm process. The card will also feature 6 MCDs, each with 16 MB of Infinity Cache, for a total of 96 MB across the bus. The RX 7900 XTX has 24 GB of VRAM and 20 Gbps dies, offering up to 960 GB/s of bandwidth (3.5 TB/s with Infinity Cache).
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Specifications
The cut-down AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT features the Navi 31 XT GPU, which has 5376 cores, a 320-bit bus, and 80 MB of Infinity Cache. The GPU die is 308mm2 in size and is manufactured using a 5nm process.
The RX 7900 XT has 20 GB of VRAM and 20 Gbps dies, offering up to 800 GB/s of bandwidth (3.5 TB/s with Infinity Cache).
It’s worth noting that these are just the official specifications for the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards.
The actual performance of these cards in real-world gaming scenarios remains to be seen. However, the specifications suggest that these cards should be able to deliver impressive performance in demanding workloads.
