AMD RX 7900 XTX 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.

Cost per frame is another key metric. At 1440p, the RX 7900 XTX comes in at £5.54 per frame, which is actually slightly better value than the 7900 XT, and it is very similar to previous-generation cards like the RTX 3080 10GB and RX 6800 XT, though it is 26% cheaper per frame than the 6900 XT.

At 4K, the 7900 XTX is 6% cheaper per frame than the 7900 XT, and basically matches the likes of the RX 6800 XT and RX 6800. It's also a hefty 35% reduction to cost per frame versus the 6950 XT.

Current retail pricing

Based on current pricing however, things don't look as attractive for the 7900 XTX. 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.

At 4K, the XTX does still offer very good overall value, but it's not really much of an improvement gen-on-gen – we're looking at just a 4% improvement versus the 6950 XT using current retail prices.
