AMD RX 7800 XT Review

Returnal is a 2021 roguelike video game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 5 on April 30, 2021 and Windows on February 15, 2023. The game follows Selene Vassos, an astronaut who lands on the planet Atropos in search of the mysterious “White Shadow” signal and finds herself trapped in a time loop. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 4. We test using the Epic preset with Epic ray traced shadows and reflections, DX12 API.

Returnal is much more playable though, even with both shadows and reflections set to Epic. At 1080p the RX 7800 XT hits 76FPS on average, making it 8% faster than the RX 6800 XT, while it's 15% slower than the RTX 4070.

1440p isn't out of the question either, with a frame rate not too far off 60FPS, while it's just 11% slower than the RTX 4070 at this resolution.
