Test Setup

More information on our GPU testing can be found here. 

We are using the motherboard’s current default BIOS settings on the latest official 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 of our testing.  We have enabled DOCP in the BIOS for the memory. We are using a fresh install of Windows 11 Pro with the latest Windows Updates, and drivers installed including the latest chipset drivers from AMD.  We are using the “Best Performance” power profile in Windows Settings.  We have hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling at the default setting, which is ENABLED.  VBS is DISABLED and Game Mode is ENABLED.

SUMMARY

This review evaluates a new video card line for SAPPHIRE, the PURE. We reviewed the SAPPHIRE PURE Radeon RX 7700 XT GAMING OC. Compared to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB FE this video card was more feature packed and performed better across the board with few exceptions. The only point of contention is the price tag, but we think the features, cooling, build quality and performance make up for that.

If you are buying immediately then go for a AM4 CPU in your budget that has 3d cache

Not sure of mother board.
