Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT Pulse Review

The Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT Pulse is priced at AMD's MSRP of $450, which makes it an attractive choice. You still get a great cooler that's paired with outstanding fan settings that result in a whisper-quiet gaming experience that's quieter than most GeForce cards.

[Tchu-Espresso]

Not looking too rough for the ps5 Pro.

 

[SolidQ]

7800XT is best card price/perfomance on market

 

[Senua]

7800XT is best card price/perfomance on market

Barely any better than the 6800XT though

 

[8BiTw0LF]

I might upgrade to 7800 XT from a 3060. I can sell me 3060 for 50% of what the 7800 XT cost - seems like a sweet deal.

 

[Bojji]

So 7800XT is just a little bit better than 6800XT, what w surprise...

Someone was arguing with me that it will be much better in PC thread.

It seems to have the same CU/core count as a 6800 non XT. So I guess that's kinda impressive? $500 still sounds like too much.

 

[FireFly]

So it's not slower than a 6800 XT, after all. Faster than a 6900 XT in ray tracing.

Seems like the least terrible of the RDNA 3 parts.

 

[SolidQ]

$500 still sounds like too much.

now for 4070 is way too much, need asap price drop, looks worse than 7800XT

 

[analog_future]

7800 XT faster than the RTX 4070 for $100 cheaper.


Big win for AMD. Seems like the "mainstream" card to go with.

 

[shamoomoo]

Not looking too rough for the ps5 Pro.

The pro should have the specs of the 7700xt, even with the cut in CUs it could perform better than the 7800xt.

 

[SolidQ]

First we need to know, what RDNA 3.5 bringing. ofc RT will be way faster, because RDNA4 RT

 

[Leonidas]

GN found it slower in many games.

No different than 6800 XT vs 4070. 6800 XT was cheaper and faster in raster.
4070 still has DLSS, efficiency and is much faster in heavy RT titles. I'd still go with 4070 since those features matter to me and I game at 1440p where FSR looks like trash.

7800 XT faster than the RTX 4070 for $100 cheaper.


Big win for AMD. Seems like the "mainstream" card to go with.

6800 XT already beat 4070 for $100 cheaper in raster. Nvidia still wins in RT, image reconstruction and efficiency.
7800 XT doesn't really do anything to the 4070 that the 6800 XT didn't, unless we're acting as if maybe 3% difference from previous gen is a big deal.

 

[SmokedMeat]

7800XT nipping at the heels of the $800+ 4070ti at 1440p.

How much you wanna bet it ages better than Nvidia’s 12GB card?

 

[shamoomoo]

First we need to know, what RDNA 3.5 bringing. ofc RT will be way faster, because RDNA4 RT

The pro may not being used as best as the base PS5 but it should have better usage than the 7800xt because devs have direct access over the hardware.

 

[nkarafo]

7800 XT faster than the RTX 4070 for $100 cheaper.


Big win for AMD. Seems like the "mainstream" card to go with.

And it completely destroys the 4060 16GB for the same price.

Though, 500$ is still too much for "mainstream".

 

[SolidQ]

GN found it slower in many games.

The problem with GN he's test old games, they run fine even on Pascal. Daniel is only one reviewer, who test latest games. If i'm buyer, than i need to know, how card running today games, not old games.

 

[FireFly]

GN found it slower in many games.

So I make that 5/14 games. The 4060 Ti also saw performance regressions vs. the 3060 Ti.

Not in RT it won't.

AMD cards are still hot garbage in that department.

 

[Irobot82]

I'm still on a GTX 1080. I was hoping this card would excite me to buy. I really need an upgrade, but I feel like this will just be a stepping stone for next round.

 

[winjer]

We also have to consider that these cards bring a free copy of Starfield. That's an extra 70$ of value included.
The performance improvement is lacking, but the 780XT is one of the best value cards in the market right now

 

[SmokedMeat]

Not in RT it won't.

AMD cards are still hot garbage in that department.

I can’t think of a more overrated, less important feature, and for such a performance hit.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I'm still on a GTX 1080. I was hoping this card would excite me to buy. I really need an upgrade, but I feel like this will just be a stepping stone for next round.

If you’re still on a 1080, any card is going to be a massive jump for you.

 

[hinch7]

Seen a few reviews and the 7800XT seems to be the graphics card to get around $500. Slightly faster than a 4070 on average with 4GB more VRAM and way more memory bandwidth; so will scale better at 4K. Also isn't too far behind in Raytracing. Only the power consumption sucks and FSR still lagging behind DLSS and XeSS in image quality. So its a give or take.

The 7700XT isn't worth mentioning really. That deficit of 17% or so performance make the 7800XT a no brainer at $50 more.

 

[Kataploom]

Are there comments on Hypr-X? I want to know how that tech is working even without FMF

 

[SolidQ]

The 7700XT

This will be like 6700XT, but later

 

[hinch7]

This will be like 6700XT, but later

True, prices will fall in a few months. Closer to $400 and it starts to become an interesting product.

 

[Bojji]

7800XT nipping at the heels of the $800+ 4070ti at 1440p.

Where?

It will probably age better but overall performance profile is the same as 6800XT, GPU from 2020.

They didn't make any improvement to x8x0XT line, only price is lower this time.

Nvidia prices are absurd and we know that already, so far AMD wasn't much better but this part is not too bad.

 

[Kataploom]

True, prices will fall in a few months. Closer to $400 and it starts to become an interesting product.

I think it already is, it's a massive jump over 6700 XT, not too far behind the 7800 XT and 6800 XT and $50+ less. It also completely obliterates both 4060 Ti at better price.

But yeah, AMD prices will be unbeatable over the time.

 

[Loxus]

 

[Sleepwalker]

These cards (the amd mid range) to me are non viable to me until FSR and RT improve a lot. But they are good value for sure.

 

[Irobot82]

If you’re still on a 1080, any card is going to be a massive jump for you.

Yeah I know. They'll all be at least twice as fast. I just need to pull the trigger. I'm thinking a nice Christmas treat for me.

 

[Kataploom]

Yeah I know. They'll all be at least twice as fast. I just need to pull the trigger. I'm thinking a nice Christmas treat for me.

AMD is great for you, I'd get a 7800 XT if I was you... Then see from there if you'll jump to AMD or Nvidia but then you won't be in a hurry to upgrade, you can do it at your pace knowing you are already well covered

 

[winjer]

The new drivers release today by AMD include Hypr-X.
And also Anti-Lag+ for RDNA3.

Adrenalin Edition 23.9.1​

New Feature Highlights

• AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag+ - Takes responsive gaming to the next level by introducing per-game profiling to intelligently pace frames further reducing input lag on RDNA 3 based Radeon GPUs. For more information about game support click HERE.
• AMD Radeon™ Boost– Now supports AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag+ and improves image quality through awareness of mouse sensitivity, reducing the image quality impact of dynamic resolution switching during motion—typically seen with high-DPI mice.
  • AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.9.1 introduces AMD Radeon™ Boost support for Resident Evil™ 4 Remake and Ghostwire™: Tokyo, which delivers extra performance and increased responsiveness with little perceived impact to quality.
• AMD HYPR-RX – Introducing a new driver experience that allows users to optimize their games using AMD Software features for their RDNA 3 based Radeon GPUs, achieving increased performance and lower latency with ease.
• AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.9.1 introduces the ability to intelligently combine AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag+, Boost, and Radeon Super Resolution to achieve improved performance and latency reduction than these features can achieve on their own.

[Dr.D00p]

I can’t think of a more overrated, less important feature, and for such a performance hit.

Doesn't matter what you or I think of RT, it's where game rendering is going, like it or not.

...and the fact is if you go AMD, you are going to be at a disadvantage.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I hope they launch not too far off from msrp, I'd like to get a 7800 XT

Seems like devs or AMD has to implement it per game? I thought it was a driver level feature

 

[winjer]

Seems like it's similar to nvidia's Reflex.
Here is the list of games and some performance numbers.

Who have RX 7xxx series, can test?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I hope they launch not too far off from msrp, I'd like to get a 7800 XT

The first few have gone up here and the cheapest one is only 10 more than MSRP, wow; I need the gigabyte one which comes in at 600, so 50 more, so I'm gonna wait a bit for more stores to start posting.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Doesn't matter what you or I think of RT, it's where game rendering is going, like it or not.

...and the fact is if you go AMD, you are going to be at a disadvantage.

It does matter, because I can turn it off for better performance.
I can count on one hand the number of games where ray tracing is worth having on, and I’m able to do it just fine on my AMD card.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Seems like a great card for the price. Would buy if I was in the market. Am stuck with Nvidia for the foreseeable future.

 

[marjo]

So the summary seems to be: Less shitty than Nvidia, but still pretty shitty.

I guess that's progress.

 

[StereoVsn]

7800xt seems like a decent card for the price. Not amazing certainly and I kind of feel 6950 cards on sale for like $550 might be better, but overall, not terrible.

It's much better vs stupid 4060Ti 16GB and better vs 4070 as well.

 

[SolidQ]

$550 might be better

there usually 5-6% difference between 7800XT and 6950XT and you missed new features exclusive for RDNA3 and above

 

[Bernoulli]

for long term is it better to get the 7800 or wait for the 6950 to drop in price?
i have an 500w psu

 

[draliko]

for long term is it better to get the 7800 or wait for the 6950 to drop in price?

i'd go 7800xt, always prefer the new iteration if price is similar, to go with old iteration you should have a very big discount

 

[SolidQ]

for long term is it better to get the 7800 or wait for the 6950 to drop in price?

Zero reason for 6950 + it's need more Power. Look Daniel video above, there 7800XT vs 6950

Only for RDNA3. With FSR off it's fine

 

[Bernoulli]

7000 series will grant you the frame generation they’re working on for all DX11 and DX12 titles, so I’d say that might be worth it.

I’d also bump up that PSU. I don’t think 500 watts is going to cut it.
