System Setup

We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest release BIOS. We have enabled PCI-Express Resizable BAR in the motherboard BIOS.  This means we are utilizing Resizable BAR on NVIDIA GPUs and AMD Smart Access Memory on AMD GPUs in all our testing.  We have enabled EXPO I in the BIOS for the memory.

We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates, including the 22H2 Fall 2022 update. We have the latest drivers installed including the latest chipset drivers from AMD.  We are using the “Best Performance” power profile in Windows Settings.  Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling is ENABLED in Windows.  VBS is DISABLED and Game Mode is ENABLED.

SUMMARY

We reviewed the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX video card, and put it up against the competition at 4K, with Ray Tracing and tested FSR performance in many games with a focus on the gameplay experience. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX video card proved to offer a strong value at its price point, offering competitive performance at a lower price point, and all the latest features, including new ones like DisplayPort 2.1 and AV1. It has a robust build, excellent cooling and efficiency, and form factor size that will be compatible with current builds, and doesn't require new power connectors. Its performance is strong but does fall behind the competition's flagship, and Ray Tracing performance, but for the price point being way lower, the value is extremely high on the Radeon RX 7900 XTX by comparison.
