Where to buy
$899MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.
No retailer links are configured for this card yet. CompareYourGPU does not publish purchase links it cannot stand behind, so nothing is shown here rather than a button that goes nowhere.

Should you buy it?
Niche recommendation
This card is out of production. New stock is scarce and priced unpredictably, so it only makes sense at a genuine discount against a current-generation equivalent.
4K gaming at 60+ FPS
Why
- Estimated performance index of 55 at 4K, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
- 20 GB of memory is comfortable for 4K, so texture settings stay out of the conversation.
- Supports FSR 3.1 Frame Generation and AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level).
- At 4K the RX 7900 XT is 3.5% slower than the RX 9070 XT while costing $300 more, which makes it the weaker buy of the two on price alone. Based on launch MSRP.
Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.
Watch out for
This card is out of production, so new stock is scarce and pricing is unpredictable. It is only worth considering at a genuine discount.
Consider instead
- RTX 5080 if ray tracing is your priority. Its ray tracing index is 72 against 41, at $999.
- RTX 5070 Ti if you want more performance for the money. It returns 8.0 index points per $100 against 6.1.

ComputerBase Grafikkarten-Rangliste 2026
21 games · updated| Test | Average FPS | Share of fastest card tested |
|---|---|---|
| Rasteriser, 1080p | Not tested | — |

How this was measured, and what it is not
Geometric mean of average FPS. Vendor upscaling at Quality (DLSS on GeForce, FSR on Radeon, XeSS on Arc), with native TAA in a minority of titles. Not native resolution, and not a like-for-like image-quality comparison across vendors.
The ray tracing rating covers a smaller 7-game suite than the 21-game rasteriser rating, so the two are not directly comparable with each other either. ComputerBase does not test every card at every resolution; a card missing from a table has no figure here rather than an inferred one.
Because of that, these figures are not directly comparable with the estimated index above, which describes native resolution with no upscaling. Read each on its own terms rather than against the other.
Test system: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Transcribed by CompareYourGPU on from ComputerBase.
Per-game measured results
No verified benchmark data yet
CompareYourGPU only publishes frame-rate figures it can attribute to a named, linkable measurement, and none have been transcribed for the RX 7900 XT yet. The estimated performance indices above are clearly labelled as estimates and are the honest alternative until measured runs are recorded here.
In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features
What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.
Supported. This card uses 2nd-generation ray accelerators.
FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.
FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level). Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.
Hardware AV1 encode is supported. Dual media engines with AV1, HEVC and H.264 encode. AV1, HEVC and H.264 decode.
Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits
CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.
Strengths
- 20 GB of VRAM and 800 GB/s of bandwidth
- Strong rasterisation at 1440p and 4K
Weaknesses
- Ray tracing is a generation behind
- No FSR 4 support
- Out of production
Best for
- 1440p and 4K rasterised gaming
- Large-texture workloads
Not ideal for
- Ray-traced titles
- Low-power builds
Price, value and efficiency
What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.
$899MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
Fair priceFair price for this performance: $973
Good buy below $895 · expensive above $1,090
The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.
Performance per dollar
6.7
Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.
That places it in the lower half of the database on value.
Performance per watt
19.0
Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.
That places it in the upper half of the database on efficiency.
RX 7900 XT frequently asked questions
Is the RX 7900 XT good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 160-230 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 165+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 20 GB gives real headroom at 1080p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RX 7900 XT good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 110-155 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 120+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 20 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RX 7900 XT good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 55-80 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 60+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 20 GB gives real headroom at 4K, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
How much VRAM does the RX 7900 XT have?
The RX 7900 XT has 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, giving 800 GB/s of bandwidth. 20 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
What power supply does the RX 7900 XT need?
AMD recommends a 750 W power supply for a complete system built around the RX 7900 XT, which draws 315 W of board power. It uses 2x 8-pin.
Which upscaling technologies does the RX 7900 XT support?
It supports FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports FSR 3.1 Frame Generation and AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level). Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
Is the RX 7900 XT good for ray tracing?
Its ray tracing index is 41 at 1440p, against a rasterisation index of 60, so it retains about 68% of its standing once ray tracing is enabled. That is a weak result: ray tracing costs it noticeably more than the average card here. Both figures are CompareYourGPU estimates, not measurements.
How much does the RX 7900 XT cost?
It launched at $899 MSRP and is now out of production. CompareYourGPU does not publish a current street price because it does not yet carry a verified price feed, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RX 7900 XT?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER at $799. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RX 7900 XT is level with it, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
