AMD RX 7800 XT Review

Using the graphics card-only power draw figures presented earlier in the review, here we present performance per Watt on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1080p.

Per-Game Results at 1080p:

12-Game Average at 1080p:

Combining the power draw and performance figures, we take a look at performance per Watt, starting at 1080p. Here the RX 7800 XT is level with the RX 7900 XT, but generally lags behind Nvidia's 40-series. The 7800 XT is 24% less efficient than the RTX 4070, for instance.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all eight games we test with ray tracing enabled.

8-Game ray tracing average:

Ray tracing performance per Watt is even lower for AMD, relatively speaking, as Nvidia GPUs are generally faster when it comes to RT workloads. This time, up against the RTX 4070, the 7800 XT is 43% less efficient.
