Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RX 7900 XT makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3080 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3080 could be the better value choice in the short term. Upgrading from RTX 3080 to RX 7900 XT is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

The RTX 3090 might be the extreme flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3080 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 699. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 3080 Ti, the RTX 3080 's price is getting more discount.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6800 XT, the RTX 3080 was -1.6 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I at 67 fps to 85 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 75 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT

The RX 7900 XT is much more cheaper than the RX 6950 XT as it costs $ 899. Compare this to the RX 6950 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 1099. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 4080 which costs $ 1199. Spec for spec, this RX 7900 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 6950 XT, by boasting 10.1 % more fps.

The RX 7900 XT has 20 GB RAM compared to the RX 6950 XT 's 16 GB video memory. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 7900 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 6950 XT and it really justifies an upgrade.

Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 4080, the RX 7900 XT was -5.3 % slower. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Starfield, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II at 64 fps to 96 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 85 fps.
