AMD RX 7900 XT Review

The MSRPs

Using the average frame rate data presented earlier in the review, here we look at the cost per frame using the UK MSRP launch prices for each GPU.

In terms of cost per frame, at 1440p the 7900 XT comes in at £5.63. This is actually worse value than the more expensive XTX model, not something we typically see and it's certainly not what you want to see from a cheaper component. The 7900 XT is still an improvement on the 6900 XT, offering a 22% reduction in cost per frame. It's around the same level as the last-gen RTX 3080 10GB.

At 4K, the gap between the XT and the XTX widens, and not in the way you'd want – the XT is 6% more expensive per frame. It's still 22% better value than the 6900 XT using MSRP pricing.

Current retail pricing

Based on current pricing however, things are less appealing 7900 XT. At 1440p for instance, its overall value is a match for the RX 6900 XT and 6950 XT, both of which can now be found well below MSRP.

Likewise at 4K, this is very much a continuation of last-gen value – it's more continuation, rather than progression.
