AMD’s new RX 9000 Series graphics cards have been turning heads for a good reason\u2014they offer excellent value. But with the global DRAM shortage threatening to drive prices up, now could be the perfect time to explore the used market. And what better choice than AMD’s most powerful gaming graphics card ever\u2014a card that sometimes even outperforms the latest RX 9070 XT?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The RX 7900 XTX remains AMD\u2019s most powerful pure gaming GPU<\/h2>\n

AMD has given up on high-end gaming graphics cards<\/a>, which is evident by the fact that AMD’s current RX 9000 Series doesn’t even include a 9080 or 9080 XT in its lineup.<\/p>\n

The best card AMD currently offers is the RX 9070 XT, which trades blows with the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti. AMD doesn’t offer anything that comes close to the most powerful gaming graphics card on the market, the RTX 5090, or even the significantly cheaper RTX 5080.<\/p>\n

However, just a generation of GPUs ago, AMD did offer a few mid-to-high-end graphics cards.<\/p>\n

The most powerful of these cards, and still the most powerful AMD card to date, was the RX 7900 XTX<\/a>. The card’s performance in raw rasterization was roughly on par with the RTX 4080, despite coming in at $200 less, with an MSRP of $999.<\/p>\n

Although the RX 7900 XTX has slightly worse ray-tracing performance than the RTX 4080, and AMD’s older version of FSR upscaling technology, which the card supports, isn’t as strong as DLSS, the RX 7900 XTX is a true representation of AMD’s “brute-force” approach, providing more power while still beating NVIDIA on price.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this card’s raw power and its impressive 24GB of GDDR6 384-bit VRAM, it is still capable of running demanding games like Horizon Forbidden West<\/em> and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II<\/em> at 4K ultra settings with over 60 FPS. That’s an impressive feat for a card that’s now three years old.\u200b\u200b\u200b \u200b\u200b<\/p>\n

It actually remains one of the top GPUs, ranked sixth on TechPowerUp\u2019s relative performance chart<\/a>, with the RX 9070 XT trailing by 6%.<\/p>\n

If you want to see how the RX 7900\u202fXTX\u2019s 96 RDNA\u202f3 compute units and 2500\u202fMHz boost clock compare to the RX 9070\u202fXT\u2019s 64 RDNA\u202f4 compute units and 2500\u202fMHz boost clock, check out this video comparison by Terra\u202fWare:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As shown, the RX 7900\u202fXTX pulls ahead of the RX 9070\u202fXT in several games by a few FPS, while in others, the performance is roughly on par. Thanks to AMD\u2019s improvements in ray tracing for the RX\u202f9000 Series, the 9070\u202fXT can edge out a few extra frames in ray-traced titles.<\/p>\n

Tom\u2019s Hardware\u2019s tests<\/a> largely support this, with the RX\u202f7900\u202fXTX holding a slight advantage in non-ray-tracing scenarios.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of the cheapest ways to get 24GB of VRAM on a high-end card<\/h2>\n

One of the big advantages of the RX 7900 XTX is that it\u2019s one of the few gaming-oriented graphics cards that provides 24 GB of VRAM. In fact, only the RTX 3090, 3090 Ti, 4090, and 5090 (which has 32 GB) offer this much VRAM in consumer-grade, gaming-focused cards.<\/p>\n

Although gamers probably can’t benefit from more than 16GB of VRAM<\/a> in the vast majority of scenarios, even at 4K ultra settings, that doesn’t mean that games in the future won’t be able to take advantage of the extra VRAM. History has shown that VRAM requirements tend to rise over time, and this extra headroom can help the RX\u202f7900\u202fXTX remain relevant for years to come.<\/p>\n

Even today, all that extra VRAM means the GPU doesn\u2019t have to move data to system RAM, which can improve 1% and 0.1% lows and reduce stutter\u2014something that can be especially important in online games.<\/p>\n

That said, you shouldn\u2019t buy an RX\u202f7900\u202fXTX just because it has a ton of VRAM if your use case is strictly gaming.<\/p>\n

The extra VRAM really comes into its own if your job or side projects can take advantage of it. Programs for 3D modeling and rendering, like Blender, can use the extra memory to store high-resolution textures, complex shaders, and high-polygon models. Video editing software is another notorious VRAM hog, especially when working with 8K footage.<\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the most common ways to utilize 24\u202fGB of VRAM today is for running AI LLMs locally<\/a>. With more VRAM, you can run larger batches and bigger models that other gaming cards can\u2019t fit into memory.<\/p>\n

Although AMD\u2019s cards generally fall behind NVIDIA in AI benchmarks, the RX 7900 XTX was still able to outperform even significantly more powerful cards like the RTX 4090 in DeepSeek benchmarks, according to AMD, and as reported by Tom\u2019s Hardware<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lack of FSR 4 support hurts its long-term appeal compared to newer RDNA 4 cards<\/h2>\n

While the AMD RX 7900 XTX is undoubtedly a powerful graphics card, it has one major downside that you must consider before buying it\u2014it doesn’t support FSR 4. FSR 4 is AMD’s answer to NVIDIA DLSS, and with the latest FSR Redstone<\/a> update, it’s finally become a viable option for ray-tracing.<\/p>\n

This could change in the future, as the recent INT8 leaks<\/a> have suggested that FSR 4 might eventually become available on RDNA 3 cards.<\/p>\n
