Videocardz has published the first 3DMark GPU benchmarks for AMD’s Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards. The benchmarks show the synthetic performance of AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards, which will be available next week. 3DMark FS (Fire Strike) and 3DMark TS (Time Spy) are among the benchmarks included, and both are among the most popular benchmarks available. Each benchmark was done at two different defaults. These presets are 4K Extreme and 1440P Performance for 3DMark Time Spy, and 4K Ultra and 1440P Extreme for Fire Strike.
Starting with the 3DMark Time Spy performance score, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is more than 50% quicker than the Radeon RX 6950 XT and more than 25% faster than the Radeon RX 7900 XT. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 outperforms the 7900 XTX by 12% and the RX 7900 XT by 18%.
The difference is less in 3DMark Time Spy Extreme, where the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT are only 5% slower than the RTX 4080 while being roughly 50% quicker than their predecessor, the Radeon RX 6950 XT.
Moving on to the 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme results, this test has typically performed better on AMD cards, and we observe similar results here. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX outperforms the RTX 4080, while the RX 7900 XT is close behind. The Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card is also 30% quicker than the 7900 XT.
Finally, the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra benchmark results show that the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT trail somewhat behind the NVIDIA RTX 4080, but not by much. Because both cards are aimed at the 4K gaming area, this could be due to poor optimizations at lower resolutions.
The performance of both cards has also been revealed within Blender, revealing that the RTX 4090 is 3x quicker and the RTX 4080 is about 2.5 times faster than the latest RDNA 3 offers. The RX 7900 XTX is approximately 75% quicker than the RX 6950 XT, however it is no match for the Ada Lovelace chips.
Again, these are merely synthetic performance benchmarks and do not reflect actual gaming performance. We have yet to see how the cards perform in games, particularly ray-tracing titles, as all console and PC games appear to be heading in that direction. So it’s best to hold off on making a purchase for a few more days.
