A priori some results of AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT under 3DMark have just leaked. We have to be careful because a new driver can clearly modify the results we have here. If these elements are confirmed, the fight will be fierce between the RX 7900 and the RTX 4080. Of course, the 3DMark suite is not a panacea for getting a complete idea of a graphics card’s performance. But the interest of these tests is to allow us to know the performance of the two graphics cards in 3DMark Time Spy at 4K and 2K resolution, but also under 3DMark Fire Strike, which uses DirectX 11, in the same resolutions.
In Time Spy the RX 7900 XTX scores 13,729 points in 4K resolution. It is disturbing to see the very close score of the RX 7900 XT with 13,687 points. In both cases, we would be very close to the RTX 4080 with its 14,005 points. In 2K resolution, the RTX 4080 manages to do well with its 28,058 points against the 25,473 points of the RX 7900 XTX and the 23,897 points of the RX 7900 XT.
RX 7900 3Dmark scores: RTX 4080 in a pincer?
Under Fire Strike, the RX 7900 XTX scores 18,853 points in 4K resolution and 37,702 points in 2K. With these results it outperforms the RTX 4080 which scores 17,294 and 33,932 points respectively. The RX 7900 XT is very close with 16,195 and 33,497 points.
So, if we were to stick to this last test (and subject to the results) the RTX 4080 finds itself in a pincer between an RX 7900 XTX which exceeds it by 9% in 4K and 10% in 2K and an RX 7900 XT which is almost at its level (2% slower).
In the next few days we will deliver complete tests on the RX 7900 which are recently in our workshop as you could see here.
