Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT PULSE (11335-04-20G)

A quite powerful mid-range graphics card from Sapphire, based on the Navi 32 graphics processor and equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6 video memory. It is part of the Sapphire Pulse 2023 lineup, respected among everyday gamers for its factory overclocking, efficient cooling, and reasonable pricing. It is built on the Navi 32 graphics processor (5 nm, RDNA 3 architecture), which includes 3456 stream processors, with a GPU clock speed of 2544 MHz.

The card has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory (frequency of 18000 MHz) that communicates via a 192-bit interface, providing 20673 points in the popular synthetic benchmark G3D Mark. It occupies an intermediate position between the mid and high price segments, offering an excellent solution for gaming systems based on the price-performance criterion. The manufacturer positions it as an alternative to NVIDIA RTX 4060/4060 Ti graphics cards, as well as a more modern alternative to obsolete Radeon graphics cards from previous generations.

In games, it performs best at 1080p and 1440p resolutions, providing an average of 50 to 100 FPS in Helldivers 2, Baldur’s Gate 3, Lies Of P, Starfield, and other demanding blockbusters of recent years. Additionally, the Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT PULSE supports ray tracing and the image upscaling system FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR). These technologies are implemented at the software-hardware level, enhancing the realism of lighting, reflections, and shadows, while simultaneously increasing the average FPS through a unique upscaling system. The modification from Sapphire has medium dimensions (length 28 cm, thickness 2.5 slots) and can be used in a compact computer case, provided the latter is well-organized.
