At gamescom 2023, AMD announced a new pair of desktop graphics cards for its Radeon RX 7000 series designed for those looking to build a PC capable of running games at 1440p resolution.
The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT features 16GB of GDDR6 memory, a total board power of 263 watts, and 60 unified RDNA 3 computer units. The Radeon RX 7700 XT features 12GB of GDDR6 memory, 245 watts of total board power, and 54 unified RDNA 3 compute units. AMD touts that the RX 7800 XT and 7700 XXT will allow people to play games with an average FPS of 60 or more while running at 1440p resolution.
AMD claims that the Radeon RX 7800 XT can outperform Nvidia's RTX 4070 GPU in games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Hogwarts Legacy, but the testing should always be taken with a grain of salt.
AMD also took the time to share some new details on the third generation of FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR). According to AMD, FSR 3 will introduce a new native anti-aliasing mode. No release date yet, but AMD says FSR 3 is "coming soon."
AMD's Radeon RX 7800 XT and 7700 XT will be available on September 6; no pricing has been shared yet.
