Verdict
Our verdict on the RX 7800 XT
It’s a capable 1440p card with generous VRAM, but its ray tracing performance lags behind Nvidia’s equivalent options.
Get it if you want great 1440p performance with plenty of video memory for the money. Skip it if you need top-tier ray tracing or play at 4K resolution.
Buy it if…
- You edit 4K video and need fast rendering without paying Nvidia prices.
- You want high-fps 1440p gaming without worrying about VRAM limits.
- You play games with heavy ray tracing and want solid midrange performance.
