Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RX 7900 XTX 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. The RX 7900 XTX is faster by 40% for 1440p gaming. However, RTX 3080 is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RTX 3080 to RX 7900 XTX is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second.

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.

Spec for spec, this RTX 3080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2080, by boasting 69.4 % more fps. The RTX 3080 has 10 GB RAM compared to the RTX 2080 's 8 GB video memory.

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. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play The Last of Us Part I, Forspoken, Atomic Heart, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy at 65 fps to 85 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 73 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Halo Infinite, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, GreedFall, Cyberpunk 2077, Godfall at 61 fps to 64 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

Spec for spec, this RX 7900 XTX leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 6950 XT, by boasting 21.1 % more fps. The RX 7900 XTX has 24 GB RAM compared to the RX 6950 XT 's 16 GB video memory.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 7900 XTX 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 4090, the RX 7900 XTX was -9.7 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Starfield, Immortals of Aveum, Microsoft Flight Simulator, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II at 70 fps to 105 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 94 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Starfield, Immortals of Aveum, Remnant II, The Callisto Protocol, Microsoft Flight Simulator at 63 fps to 81 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 71 fps.
