The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is designed for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming, often outperforming the RTX 4060 Ti and rivaling the RTX 4070 in rasterized games
Built on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture, it offers improved performance per watt, 54 Compute Units, and 3456 Stream Processors
The card features 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, with up to 432 GB/s memory bandwidth and 48MB of 2nd-gen Infinity Cache
Ray tracing performance is improved over previous generations but still trails NVIDIA’s offerings in demanding RT titles
Supports AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 1, 2, and 3, enabling higher frame rates and frame generation for smoother gameplay
Capable of 4K gaming in less demanding titles or with FSR enabled, but not ideal for max settings at native 4K
Smart Access Memory (SAM) support can boost performance when paired with compatible AMD Ryzen CPUs and motherboards
Marketed as an upper mid-range GPU, it offers strong price-to-performance for 1440p gamers, with prices ranging from $470 to $550 USD as of May 2025
DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1a outputs support the latest high-resolution, high-refresh-rate monitors
Typical board power is 245W, so a quality cooling solution and a 700W PSU are recommended for stable operation
