12-Game Average at 1440p:

The RX 7800 XT does scale better at 1440p in terms of its efficiency – or rather, the RTX 4070 scales slightly worse, relatively speaking. This time the RX 7800 XT is 17% less efficient than its Nvidia rival, compared to the 24% margin we saw at 1080p.

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:

As for ray tracing, things are still not looking great for AMD. The 7800 XT is 36% behind the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, but still 43% less efficient than the RTX 4070.
