If this pricing is true, then the graphics cards might also contend with Nvida’s efforts in terms of performance, too. However, it should be noted that AMD’s FSR 3 has yet to appear in many mainstream titles at all, whereas Nvidia’s DLSS 3 frame generation is present in many titles since its debut in 2022.

AMD’s RX 7800 is rumored to be based on the Navi 32 chip, based on the RDNA 3 architecture. According to Moore’s Law is Dead, the GPU is currently set to be equipped with 16GB of DDR6 VRAM, something that Nvidia has come under fire for with recent GPU launches. What you can expect from the RX 7800 is that it might perform better in VRAM-limited titles compared to the likes of the RTX 4070, since having an extra 4GB of VRAM headroom is nothing to sniff at.

Additionally, you should expect a TBP of 260W, meaning that the GPU might be less efficient than its Team Green counterparts.

AMD RX 7800 leaked benchmark

The AMD RX 7800 allegedly achieved a Time Spy graphics score of 18,197, according to leaker All the Watts. This would put it directly in the range of the RTX 4070, and handily beat the RTX 4060 Ti’s 8GB and 16GB models.

However, we have not yet had any news on the actual performance of the GPU in any gaming benchmarks. So, we’ll have to await judgment for a full review.
