AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT Rumored to Deliver Power-Efficient Performance and Strong Competition to RTX 4080

The RDNA 4 GPUs are most likely to be made successful by mid-December, so AMD may unveil their cards at CES 2025 and launch in Q1 2025. The branding of the flagship is still not official, but it may be RX 8800 XT, AMD likely uses a different naming scheme for its next-gen graphics cards.

The RX 8800 XT’s biggest claim to fame is its lower power consumption, 25% less than the current top-end model, the RX 7900 XTX, which easily hits over 350W when gaming. This would bring the power consumption of the RDNA 4 card to around 250W-270W, meaning it’ll drop into a similar power envelope as Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Ti.

Performance-wise, the RX 8800 XT is said to deliver a +45% increase in ray tracing performance compared to the last generation part, especially impressive in Resident Evil 4 Remake. Other major titles are said to be experiencing comparable or even greater uplift, and AMD has stated that the RDNA 4 lineup will deliver sizeable boosts to the RT and AI throughput. It will also likely be tightly coupled to the RT and AI engines in the PS5, which also got massive bumps.

Rasterization performance is expected to also be competitive: given the RX 8800 XT’s rumored specs, it could match the RTX 4080+SUPER. With a significantly lower power draw, this could be a very efficient option for the high-performance GPU market. Considering the price, which is expected to cost around $500, the Radeon RX 8800 XT will probably put pressure on Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 5070 cards, making it a noteworthy option for gamers seeking performance without breaking the bank.
