A few weeks in the past, AMD dropped a few contemporary Radeon GPUs, the Radeon RX 7700 XT and the Radeon RX 7800 XT, which has been acquired fairly positively by the gaming neighborhood. In our overview, we had only one factor to say — in the event you’re seeking to construct a 1440P gaming rig as of this second, the 7800 XT is the cardboard to go for.
With these additions, AMD has wrapped up its RDNA 3 GPU lineup. What’s extra fascinating although, is that AMD teamed up with Bethesda for Starfield, and is making a gift of free copies of the sport to individuals who purchase and set up the 7800 XT and 7700 XT GPUs.
Starfield has been making the headlines for all types of causes. The sport, which has already turned out to be a large fan favorite has been within the information for a way taxing it’s on PC and simply how well-optimised has it been for consoles.
Contemplating that AMD has partnered up with Bethesda for Starfield, we considered placing the GPU via the gauntlet that Starfield is proving to be for NVIDIA and Intel GPUs, and see the way it performs. And boy, had been we stunned.
For our testing, we teamed up our Radeon RX 7800 XT with an AMD 7800X3D processor, backed by 32GB of Kingston Fury DDR5 RAM, rated at a speedy 6000 MT/s. All of this {hardware} was linked to a Gigabyte Aorus X670E Grasp motherboard. We stored the CPU cool utilizing Cooler Grasp Masterliquid PL360 Flux. The entire setup was powered by a dependable CoolerMaster MWE 1250W V2 80 plus gold PSU.
We examined out the sport in 2 settings — as soon as at 1440P all Extremely settings, with FSR2 on, and as soon as in 1080P, all Extremely settings and once more, with FSR2 on, at about 67 per cent scale.And naturally, we had AMD’s model or ReBAR, referred to as SAM or Good Entry Reminiscence turned on.

We’re additionally joyful to report that the GPU didn’t get any extra loud than it normally was throughout every other recreation. Throughout gameplay, not often did we see the GPU temp go up over 55 levels.
Moreover, the 7800 XT’s 16GB VRAM provides you a pleasant buffer to actually crank up the main points and FSR2 scaling. This has confirmed to be the Achilles heel for NVIDIA and Intel GPUs.
All in all, Starfield is right here to remain as a brand new benchmark for avid gamers, and testers contemplating how nicely it places GPUs via the ringer. It will likely be actually fascinating to see how nicely the 7700XT holds up towards Starfield.
