    I switched from a 3060 to a 7800 xt, been loving it. More of a competitive player over ray tracing so I just appreciate the raw performance of the 7800 xt. Price per frame is like half the 4070 especially when I got mine on a Black Friday deal, a xfx Merc 319 Radeon RX 7800 xt with a 3 year warranty and I got a free game with it. And I only paid, 500 no tax in nh at that time when I got my card 😅 very beefy card if you go the other manufacturers route so make sure you take that into consideration. Actually didn’t even install mine right away until I ordered a cooler master v3 vertical mount for my ATX case cause for example the OC xfx card is literally massive. Nice build quality over the regular stock Radeon, with the sales always happening with amd I wouldn’t recommend getting the base card. My xfx card stays cool and quiet and it may not be like in your face with rbg, but it does what I need it to do while looking sleek and cool with the all black and silver feel with the xfx white logo.

    @fatidicusaeternus6498 Před 7 měsíci +107

    Undervolting on new AMD cards is great, because you typically get more performance with lower temps and noise because you just boost higher under the same power budget. How much depends on the silicon lottery basically, but I recommend everyone to basically just turn down the voltage percentage scaler until you crash a benchmark immediately, and then turn it up ~5%. You can find the sweetspot more accurately (depends on thr load too) but you should be stable like that. If you still get crashes just turn the dial 1% up at a time until it doesn't.

      ​@@RKBenchmarker I am inclined to agree. At the very least it's the easily best value in the current generation of graphics cards, and that's coming from someone who recently bought a 7900 XT and is absolutely loving it.
      There's always going to be the argument that the 7800 XT is barely faster than the 6800 XT - and it's 100% true - but power consumption is down _a lot_ and the 7800 XT will most likely see driver support and game optimizations at least two years beyond the EOL of the 6800 XT.
      And it has AV1 encoding for streamers and content creators. Even non-streamers can benefit from the AV1 support if/when they sell the card a few years down the line, because even if they don't care about AV1 a future buyer might, and that's going to make the card easier to sell at a slightly higher price.

    Great video! Thinking of buying this soon and I'm very curious about undervolting and reducing power draw since I'm using a 650w PSU. It's amazing to see how you can reduce power draw by 40-70 watts and still keep the performance at around stock levels, because the power draw was my only problem with the GPU.

  • @Kirainne
    @Kirainne Před 7 měsíci +38

    Really great video! Honestly I was surprised to see the UV vs. OC settings. Maybe AMD should take note and just set this card to this UV by default to better compete vs. the 4070 in terms of power draw.
    Edit: I just got inspired by your video to try and Undervolt my 6900 XT Limited and I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. Playing CP2077 RN and basically the benchmark test went from 1.200V@341W -> 1.050V@267W with a ~2 FPS average drop for CP2077 (getting about 100 FPS on 1440p Ultra no-RT native) just by dropping the max frequency from 2700 to 2560. There's clearly some hidden algorithm with AMD here so there's more testing to go but man, you just saved me a ton of money and heat!

      AMD knows that very well but they have to play it safe for the average consumer. hence they pick voltages that work for every GPU they're selling.
      there were GPUs in the past that ran near their limits and had issues, why would anyone risk that?

You will need to watch a settings video on youtube to find out which settings you can free with no cost and which actually decreases performance. And I do play on a TV, flasgship samsung Q90T 55', you will have no problem running 4k with this card. To be completley honest the HDR matters more and HDR is fps agnostic, but is depended on the quality of your monitor/tv.

    Dude great vid here. The 7800XT is the replacement for the 6700XT. The 6700XT MSRP was $480 vs $500 for the 7800XT. Basically the same MSRP 3 years later and 47% faster. Think about that. We all know at this point AMD moved names up a peg in error. 7900XT is the 6800XT replacement when priced at $800 and below. 7900XTX is the 6950XT replacement at $900 now. The ONLY reason 6800XT was close to $500 was to clear them out. Everyone understands that now. TLDR on the 7800XT? It's your upgrade from the 6700XT or RTX 3070. AMD should NOT have moved names up like that. Stupid move but the cards are great.

      Dude. Your name clearly tells me your position here lol. Look AMD did a scummy move by naming it the 7800 XT. They shifted the product stack exactly like Nvidia. It’s scummy. It’s confusing. If they don’t want it compared to a 6800 XT, then maybe they shouldn’t have named it a 7800 XT. 🤔 I know it’s a crazy thought. But I think you can see where I’m coming from if you really think about it. Also, as a side note, even from the 6700 XT, I don’t think those users should upgrade. Just sit tight with your current and still relevant hardware. Also, the majority of the video is not even about the 6800 XT comparison. That was a couple of lines. Yet, this morning, all you guys only want to talk about is how the 7800 XT is a 6700 XT replacement. Are you guys in a group or something? lol what the heck man? Thanks for the view and comment.

    So far the only game's I've been forced to use Upscaling to stay above that 60fps mark is UE5 game's so far everything on UE5 just do terrible for me.

    I do recall you said you wouldn't use this for 4K, and I agree to an extent... but I would confidently recommend this as a bare minimum for 4K, where I don't think I can say the same confidently about the 6800xt. They do tend to mature in drivers over time, as you referenced with the 6800xt.
    I really don't understand either hardware company cutting power in a stack shift, you'd think they'd try to do the opposite. 🤣

    • @ErockOnTech

      Yeah and 4K is hard to gauge because if you're running Halo The Master Chief collection, for example, you can max that game out at 4K and run a locked 120 FPS on a 3070. So clearly in that regard, a 7800 XT is a 4K card. But I wouldn't use it for 4K in CyberPunk for example. So as with all things in the PC space, it depends lol. But 4K is demanding in general. I really do believe 1440p is the sweet spot.

      @@Dlo_BestLife I'm not really sure what to say here, because it's not an entry card at any level lol. The 6900/6950xt does 4k just fine... like most cards with the exception of CP77, which can even to this day cripple a 4090 with path tracing. Speaking of which, are we excluding nVidia? Because I've got a 3080ti that says it's a 4k60+ card on every title I've thrown at it, including CP77. Even as biased as UB is against AMD, they aren't claiming a 3080ti beats a 7900xt... so I don't agree in the slightest either.
      I'm not saying I'd recommend the 7800xt as *_the_* card to get for 4k, as Erock says... and I agree... its' niche is clearly 1440p. It is also the bare minimum in *my* opinion, that you can buy from AMD in this gen, and game respectably at 4k. It can be two things at once, after all. lol

    I looked at the 6800 xt and 7800 xt, then bought a 6800 non-xt and under-volted it to reduce coil whine. If I really wanted, I can overclock my new 6800 and get performance roughly around its xt model, but that makes the coil whine loud and obnoxious so I won’t. So far, the drivers have been better than nvidia

    @rosshaikenleonen1416 Před 6 měsíci +4

    The problem here is AMD's naming scheme. In reality, 7900XTX should be 7900XT and everything follows suit. So 7800XT should actually be 7700XT and it reflects with the performance. 7900XT should be the 7800XT which is the successor of the 6800XT. One possibility is so that they can sell it at a higher price while making people think they are selling it at lower.
    6800XT MSRP at launch is $649; 7800XT MSRP at launch is $499. Now if you think 7800XT is the successor, it would give the illusion that AMD lowered it's price. But if you look at 7900XT which should be the actual 7800XT, it's $899.

      That exact issue was at launch and was fixed with an update.

In the OC, the mV was left at default so he was strictly testing OC vs UV.

    Very nice detailed video of the Navi 32 XT, although it's not a Navi 21 XT , AMD kind of messed up the naming of their cards if it comes from the GPU being used, the actual successor of the RX 6800 XT is the RX 7900 XT the 6800 XT uses the Navi 21 XT as where the 7900 XT uses the Navi 31 XT.
    The 7800 XT uses the Navi 32 XT GPU and this is the successor of the Navi 22 XT GPU which was using for the RX 6700 XT and later RX 6750 XT as well.
    the 7900 GRE uses the Navi 31 XL this should of been the RX 7800 as where the Navi 21 XL was used for the RX 6800.
    so yea AMD kind of messed up the names which lead to a whole lot of confusion on what something really is.
    either was as a 6800 XT user myself I still recommend the RX 7800 XT as a good card to get for around the 500 a 550 USD mark.

      What exactly are you asking? Benchmarking a GPU is just a test of how well the GPU performs at a given task. An example is how well does a 7800 XT run Halo at 4K? An overclock is different. An overclock is pushing the GPU past its out of box default settings. You’re squeezing as much performance out of the GPU as possible.

    it's not the games that can or cannot take an overclock, it's the overclock that is unstable to run that game. which just means it's an unstable overclock.
    also cards are not "meant" for a certain resolution, because performance requirements change all the time and from game to game.
    they simply deliver stable and reasonable fps at certain resolutions and details.

    I actually had the phantom gaming 7800 xt...upgraded from 3060 ti. It ran great...except the idle power was high, youtube playback was more than double of what I was getting on my 3060 ti...and AMD Adrenaline would often move to the other monitor everytime I tabbed out of a game which was extremely obnoxious.
    RDNA 3 seems to run better out of the box compared to the Gigabyte 6600 xt which required heavy tuning to be stable, but I still think I'd pick Nvidia at this point if its only like 15-20% more expensive for fewer headaches.

      I understand completely. I’ve had my own headaches with AMD over the years. I currently use a 4090. The 7800 XT was a good experience for me.

      Agreed! 7800 xt is still great, but I don't HAVE to deal with the idle power, so I'll wait for something bette...good video thanks!@@ErockOnTech

      The updates have fixed the idle power draw issues. Also, the 4070 performs worse, has much less vram, and costs much more - In this price range, there simply isn't a better card for the money.

      you need to turn on free sync on your monitor and the idle power drop ,atlest that fixed for me . the idle power was high because the VRM clock was maxed trying to compensate the free sync,hope this help

    I bought the Pulse Version of the card and replaced the 6700XT Pulse. I also have the Phantom Gaming 6950XT so I have compared them all and the performance of the 7800xt Is very Impressive for me. I would say it's around 7% under the 6950xt and about 10% higher than the 6700XT . I must say my 6700XT is a Golden Silicon as it runs better than any benchmark I have seen online by about 8% so your mileage will vary, I have not tried 4K yet as I just got a 4K monitor. Conclusion for me is for the 500-525.00 you cant beat the 7800XT and should be set for 3 years no problem.

      That is a fair assessment! I agree. The 7800 XT is a solid card for sure!

      7800xt is more like 30% or more faster than rx 6700xt in games. I know how much is faster than rx6800, own both 6800 and 7800xt and 6700xt is quite slower than rx6800 with proper cpu like 5800x3d.. I can set my 7800xt to run over 3ghz for 1080p benchmarks but in games those settings will never work so its not really relevant..
