AMD RX 7900 GRE Review

Ray tracing 8-game average FPS

Across the 8 ray traced games tested, it is clear that Nvidia is the stronger choice if you value this feature. At 1440p, the 7900 GRE is 12% slower than the vanilla RTX 4070 for instance, a product that can now be found for £500. It does scale better versus the 7800 XT when ray tracing is enabled, being 12% faster on average, compared to 8% when looking at rasterised performance – but it's 24% behind the RTX 4070 Super.

Cost per frame, current pricing data

*** Please note, the £529 figure used for the RX 7900 GRE is a best guess as I am writing this review a few days in advance, and UK pricing is not yet confirmed.

In terms of ray traced cost per frame then, if the guesstimate £529 figure turns out to be accurate, we're looking at value that's 25% worse than the RTX 4070 Super. Obviously, if the confirmed price is slightly lower then relative value will increase, and vice versa, but the overall trend is clear – Nvidia offers the best value for ray tracing.
