AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT & XTX Meta Review
  • compilation of 15 launch reviews with ~7210 gaming benchmarks at all resolutions

  • only benchmarks at real games compiled, not included any 3DMark & Unigine benchmarks

  • geometric mean in all cases

  • standard raster performance without ray-tracing and/or DLSS/FSR/XeSS

  • extra ray-tracing benchmarks after the standard raster benchmarks

  • stock performance on (usual) reference/FE boards, no overclocking

  • factory overclocked cards (results marked in italics) were normalized to reference clocks/performance, but just for the overall performance average (so the listings show the original result, just the index has been normalized)

  • missing results were interpolated (for a more accurate average) based on the available & former results

  • performance average is (moderate) weighted in favor of reviews with more benchmarks

  • all reviews should have used newer drivers, especially with nVidia (not below 521.90 for RTX30)

  • MSRPs specified with price at launch time

  • 2160p performance summary as a graph ...... update: 1440p performance summary as a graph

  • for the full results plus (incl. power draw numbers, performance/price ratios) and some more explanations check 3DCenter's launch analysis

Note: The following tables are very wide. The last column to the right is the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, which is always normalized to 100% performance.

  • /r/AMD has grown to the point where it's difficult to have in-depth discussions without constant trolling and derailment from Nvidia and Intel shills. /r/realAMD is place for hardcore PC enthusiasts to have AMD-related discussion. It's an invite only community, in which each reader is vetted based on their past contributions in PC hardware related subs. We are pro-consumer, not pro AMD. Fair and open competition is good for the consumer! members
