  • Great for high resolution gaming
  • Plenty of video memory for creators
  • Runs hot under full load
  • Fast raw performance for demanding games
Cons
  • No native AV1 encoding support
  • Ray tracing performance lags behind Nvidia
  • Drivers have occasional stability issues

Verdict

Our verdict on the RX 7900 XTX

The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is AMD’s top-tier flagship with a massive 24GB frame buffer, but it’s held back by ray tracing performance that trails the competition.

Get it if you want high-res gaming with lots of VRAM and don't care about ray tracing performance. Skip it if you need top-tier ray tracing or prefer better power efficiency and software features from the competition.

Buy it if…

  • You want high-res gaming with lots of VRAM for mods.
  • You need a fast card for 4K without paying Nvidia's premium.
  • You're building a VR setup and want raw raster performance.
