Asus Radeon RX 7900 XT TUF OC

The flagship graphics card from AMD, which was introduced in January 2023. Based on the advanced RDNA 3 (5nm) microarchitecture, equipped with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory with an effective frequency of 20000 MHz and a 320-bit memory bus. It belongs to the upper price segment, designed for gamers who want to get the maximum performance in games in 2K resolution or plan to play 4K with a few reservations.

The direct competitor for the RX 7900 XT from the green camp is the top-end GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 GPUs. At the same time, the Asus version actually belongs to The Ultimate Force mid-range line, which occupies an intermediate position in the Asus product hierarchy, being behind the flagship ROG Strix graphics cards . The Asus Radeon RX 7900 XT TUF OC delivers great performance, devoid of complicated backlighting, but has a solid metal frame for added stability.

Equipped with Navi 31 chip, which is part of AMD's 3rd generation RDNA architecture. Unlike the previous generation of Radeon GPUs, the RX 7000 series uses a new GPU chiplet layout, which has reduced the complexity of the chip and its final cost, as well as slightly improved energy efficiency. In addition, the volume of the Infinity cache has changed down, but it has been redesigned and, against the background of an increase in the bus width, its performance has doubled.

In addition, the Radeon RX 7900 XT supports FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) ray tracing and artificial scaling technologies. Ray tracing is implemented at the hardware and software level, providing more realistic lighting and shadows that mimic the behavior of light in real life. FSR technology uses a variety of smart algorithms to increase image resolution, resulting in higher frame rates without lowering graphics settings. With the right approach, this combination can simultaneously make the game world more attractive and realistic, while at the same time increasing the smoothness of the gameplay by artificially increasing the FPS.
