AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT offers good value considering the sheer amount of power it provides. It offered an amazing performance in 4K gaming with frame rates consistently hitting over 100fps and is more than capable of taking on heavy-duty content creation tasks. The performance may be overkill for most gamers, but it’s a great pick for anyone looking for a complete powerhouse.

The $899 price is steep, but graphics cards aren't just for playing games. With 20GB of VRAM, the RX 7900 XT will power through creative tasks. With games including larger texture files, 20GB will stay relevant longer than the 12GB Nvidia put on the $799 RTX 4070Ti. Most of the RTX 4070Ti models from AIBs are substantially more expensive than that MSRP, making AMD's RX 7900 XT look more attractive at the price for 1440p gaming.

The Radeon RX 7900 XTX and XT are a solid step forward for AMD, especially when it comes to 4K gaming. But I'm hoping the company can get its driver situation in order, and perhaps eke out better ray tracing performance in the process. Most gamers are still better off waiting for AMD and NVIDIA's next-gen mid-range cards, which are sure to be launching soon. But if you're an avowed AMD fan, you've finally got the high-end upgrade you've been waiting for.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is a solid GPU that offers great gaming performance and massive improvements across the board over AMD's previous generation; however, creative performance is lacking, and it's somewhat difficult to justify its existence when the more powerful XTX version is only $100 more expensive.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT delivers fierce performance for 1440p and 4K play, though its faster RX 7900 XTX sibling, at only $100 more, makes it a harder sell.

AMD's second-best Navi 31-based Radeon RX 7900 XT is a good card, trying to be better... but cut down at the knees because the Radeon RX 7900 XTX costs just $100 more. Disappointing.
