RTX 4070 Super FE gigatest: RX 7800 XT challenged at its own game

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

A mid-range of graphics cards with Nvidia GPU has finally been added to the Ada Lovelace generation. The intergenerational speed increase is relatively lower with the RTX 4060 Ti, but the power draw has dropped significantly and the overall operating characteristics are pleasing. Especially when it comes to designs similar to the MSI Gaming X Trio with a well oversized cooler. Three fans, power draw under 170W, and gaming performance well above the Radeon RX 6650 XT.

Test setup

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor
The Noctua NH-U14S cooler
The MSI MEG X570 Ace motherboard
Patriot Blackout memory (4× 8 GB, 3600 MHz/CL18)
2× Patriot Viper VPN100 SSD (512 GB + 2 TB)
The BeQuiet! Dark Power Pro 12 PSU w/ 1200 W

Join us in welcoming Adam Vágner on board HWC today. Of the authors I know, he’s the most experienced with graphics cards. That’s what he’ll be covering. Thus, graphics card testing will be taken over by a tester who’s been doing it for a long time (and intensively). This is the approach we pride ourselves on and will continue to do so. There are plenty of “experts in everything”, but true specialists are slowly disappearing from the map. Read more “Welcome, Adam! 18 years of experience in graphics card testing” »
