AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Review
Summary
Its a corker, but the performance drop that comes with this price cut makes it a notably less attractive option than AMDs Editors Choice award-winning Radeon RX 7900 XTX that debuted alongside it. We see a similar trend in terms of hardware resources, as the Radeon RX 7900 XT utilizes the same graphics processor as the 7900 XTX—just with a few pieces missing. The Radeon RX 7900 XT contains the same GCD, but with some shaders disabled, leaving 5,376 streaming processors, 336 TMUs, 168 ROPs, and 84 Ray Tracing cores active. In addition to having fewer cores and less bandwidth, the Radeon RX 7900 XT has a lower 315-watt TDP and a smaller overall physical size, as it measures 4.4 by 10.9 by 2.1 inches (HWD). This points to the GPU’s fans not running quite as hard, and the slightly higher temps and quieter operation are likely due to a difference in cooling settings right out of the box.
