SPECviewperf 2020 and SPECworkstation 3
While someone may find the RX 7900 XT graphics card to be the most attractive within its price range, another may see the RTX 4070 Ti in that position. And both are right, they might just disagree on priorities. Outside of ray-tracing graphics, the Radeon is even attacking the RTX 4080. Admittedly this is at the expense of, say, worse technological balance and also worse power efficiency, but if someone doesn’t appreciate GeForce’s strengths…

- Conclusion
An interesting thing to look at is a power draw on V-sync 60 or 90 Hz. The 7000 series was obnoxious even compared to 6000 series in this regard, sometimes drawing 2 times the power of Ada GPUs.
Sounds nice, but is there anything to play? I mean, new games. Maybe a Dead Space remaster. What else? OO
