AMD RX 7700 XT Review ft. Sapphire Pulse

Ray tracing 8-game average FPS

On average, over 8 games, we can see that the RX 7700 XT is a pretty sizeable upgrade over its predecessor, delivering 38% more performance for ray tracing. It is still 12% slower than the RTX 4060 Ti, though the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Ratchet and Clank see heavy losses, while other games like F1 23 are more competitive.

Cost per frame, launch MSRP data

Based on those 8 ray traced games, we also include cost per frame for RT only. The RX 7700 XT isn't far off the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB in terms of MSRP pricing, but the top of the chart is dominated by Nvidia GPUs.

Cost per frame, current pricing data

That doesn't change a whole lot when using cost per frame based on current retail prices, though the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is the better value card for ray tracing compared to the RX 7700 XT. It's not a massive disparity, but the RX 7700 XT is 14% more expensive per frame.
