AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT Official Benchmarks Leak: 7800 XT 1% Faster Than 4070, 7700 XT 9% Faster Than 4060 Ti

AMD is all set to launch its Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT RDNA 3 GPUs tomorrow & the official benchmarks have once again leaked out.

AMD's Official "Reviewers Guide" Benchmarks Show Single-Digit Gains For Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT GPUs Over Their Competition But Offer Better Value

The official benchmarks come from within the AMD "Reviewers Guide" which is seeded to press as a reference of what kind of performance they can expect with the graphics card that they are given for testing. In this case, we are looking at the performance benchmarks of the Radeon RX 7800 XT & the RX 7700 XT which are leaked by HDTechnologia and Videocardz, covering various games and synthetic performance tests.

Although the exact system confirmation isn't mentioned, we are likely looking at an AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU running DDR5 memory on an AM5 motherboard. The performance was measured in three different scenarios, first is the standard gaming rasterization, then we have the ray tracing and finally, we have the synthetic benchmarks. For comparison, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT has been compared to the RTX 4070 which costs $100 US more ($599 US vs. $499 US) and the 7700 XT has been compared to the RTX 4060 Ti which costs the same as the recent price cuts ($449 US).

Starting with the standard rasterization performance, we see that the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is on average 6,88% faster than the RTX 4070 Ti across the 17 titles tested while the RX 7700 XT is on average 15.9% faster than the RTX 4060 Ti. All games were tested out on 1440P and rasterization is usually a strong suit with the AMD Radeon cards however modern titles are relying heavily on an advanced set of graphical features such as ray tracing and that's evident by the growing use of the technology in consoles which are powered by AMD's RDNA architecture.

In ray tracing, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is -11.55% slower than the RTX 4070 & takes a large hit in Cyberpunk 2077 where the performance falls by -69%. The RX 7700 XT ended up -5.4% slower than the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB and while Cyberpunk 2077 is definitely an outlier here, most of these games tested are running Ray Tracing that is optimized around RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 hardware so adding more NVIDIA-optimized ray traced titles to the mix can result in even bigger losses in the RT department for camp red. Summing up the results:

AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB ($499 US) vs NVIDIA RTX 4070 12 GB ($599US):

• Rasterization Performance: +6.88%
• Ray Tracing Performance: -11.55%
• Overall Performance: +0.5% Faster

AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT 12 GB ($449 US) vs NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB ($449US):

• Rasterization Performance: +15.9%
• Ray Tracing Performance: --5.44%
• Overall Performance: +8.5% Faster

Lastly, there are the synthetic performance benchmarks which once again show AMD taking the cake in rasterized benchmarks such as 3DMark Fire Strike, 3DMark 11, and Time Spy but things change as soon as Port Royal benchmark is conducted. The Speed Way benchmark is even more heavy when it comes to ray tracing so expect both the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT to be slower than the competition in those too.

Looking at the benchmarks, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT still offers much better value and comes with a Starfield bundle which sweetens the deal. You will also get advanced FSR 3 support but the Radeon RX 7700 XT might be a tough one. Sure it does offer faster performance than the 4060 Ti 16 GB but the recent price cuts and the availability of the older RX 6800 16 GB GPUs can hurt this card. Both cards are coming out this Wednesday and will have various models to select form such as the ones we rounded up here.
