Official AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT Performance Figures Leaked

Argentina's HD Tecnología site has obtained and published AMD's official data outlining the performance prowess of the soon-to-be released Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT GPUs, when stacked up against their closest rivals—NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB and RTX 4070 12 GB. Team Red could have "cherry-picked" some of this information, and presented resultant performance charts during the grand unveiling of their mid-range RDNA 3 cards at last month's Gamescom press event. HD Tecnología claims that the fuzzy batch of screengrabs were obtained from an official review guide, they chose to not share pages containing precise details of system specifications. An embargo imposed on media outlets is set to be lifted tomorrow, which coincides with the launch of AMD's Navi 32-based contenders.

The test system was running games within a DirectX 12 environment, possibly at maximum settings—general hardware specs included an non-specific AMD Ryzen 7000-series CPU coupled with DDR5 memory on unidentified AM5 motherboard. VideoCardz's abbreviated analysis of the numbers stated: "In summary, without ray tracing, the Radeon RX 7800 XT outperforms the GeForce RTX 4070 by almost 7% on average, while with ray tracing enabled, it maintains a slight 0.5% lead. Conversely, the RX 7700 XT exhibits 16% higher performance over the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB. However, the presence of ray tracing can tip the scales slightly in NVIDIA's favor, resulting in an 8.5% lead over the AMD GPU."Here is a VideoCardz-produced summation of these figures:

Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB versus RTX 4070 12 GB

• Raster: +6.9%
• Ray tracing: -11.6%
• Average: +0.5%

Radeon RX 7700 XT 12G versus RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB

• Raster: +15.9%
• Ray tracing: -5.4%
• AVG: +8.5%

They also received an additional slide (as supplied by HD Tecnología)—its shows: "3DMark performance data for the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT. Notably, this list excludes the Speed Way benchmark, which is UL's latest high-end system test. In terms of overall performance, the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT appear to outperform their NVIDIA counterparts in most benchmarks, with one noteworthy exception. In the Port Royal benchmark, which incorporates ray tracing capabilities, the RTX 4070 appears to achieve higher scores when compared to the RX 7800 XT. However, it's worth highlighting that even in this scenario, the RX 7700 XT emerges as a clear winner when pitted against the RTX 4060 Ti."
