According to AMD, the RX 7900 XTX will compete directly with the RTX 4080 (Image: AMD)
Shortly before the release of the RTX 4080, AMD wants to steal the attention of the competition. In several graphics you compare your own upcoming new releases with the Nvidia card. Not only do you advertise with smaller dimensions and a cheaper price, the graphics cards also do without one problematic
Stromadapter.
The RDNA3 graphics cards also offer more graphics memory and support DisplayPort 2.1 instead of just 1.4 like Nvidia’s RTX 4000. This would make it possible to play in 8K resolution with up to 165 frames per second. AMD also has a Type-C connection that is also DisplayPort 2.1-capable.
So far there are only comparisons on paper
Since both graphics cards have not yet been released, AMD only compares hardware specifications in the comparison. Although the RX 7900 XTX with 61 teraflops can theoretically trump the RTX 4080 with 49 teraflops, it is well known that such numbers do not tell the whole story.

What teraflops really say about performance in games
There are no direct performance comparisons from either company. Instead, the red team compares their current top model with that of the last generation. They tested the games in 4K resolution on the highest graphics settings with and without ray tracing.
As it stands, the RX 7900 XT is also quite a bit more powerful than the RX 6950 XT. We will find out how the RDNA3 graphics cards will perform in a direct comparison with the RTX 4080 by December 13th at the latest, when independent tests of all cards are available. On the other hand, you can already look forward to reviews of the RTX 4080 tomorrow. Extensive test reporting will then also appear from us.
We will also keep you up to date on the availability of the Nvidia graphics card via live ticker throughout the day. So keep your eyes open tomorrow if you want to grab one of the coveted graphics cards.
Can AMD’s arguments convince you or do you prefer to wait a little longer before judging or are you in line for the RTX 4080 very early tomorrow? Let us know what you think about it in the comments!
