AMD announces Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB and RX 7700 XT 12GB graphics cards

We will see if those performance claims are actually legit against 4070. But the 7700XT should no doubt beat the 4060 Ti. The prices aren't too bad though but like, why would anyone get a 7700XT? lol. $50 more and you get the 7800XT...

Had the 7800XT been called 7800 and the 7700XT been ~$50 cheaper, these would been perfect cards without controversy.

As it stands, despite the performance increase over last gen, the 7700XT is worthless at that price while the 7800XT risks falling short of the 6800XT in many benchmarks. Still, the 7800XT is pretty reasonably priced, should do short work of the similarly priced 4060Ti 16BG while also beating the 4070 in most non-raytraced benchmarks if those provided by AMD are somewhat accurate.

In other words, if one wants a current-gen card, the 7800XT is probably the one to go for. But we'll have to wait for indepenent reviews to be sure of it's performance.

Edit: It will also be interesting how the 7800XT fares against the 7900GRE. Despite the latter having many more CU, it can't really get those on the ground, having a big performance deficit over the 7900XT. Plus, the TDP is the same for both cards, so I think the performance could be pretty similar in some instances.
