Introduction

ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7800 XT OC Edition is the fastest and most feature-rich custom-design graphics card based on the new GPU by ASUS, in the absence of a ROG Strix series product based on pretty much the entire RX 7000 series, except the RX 7600. The TUF Gaming still gives you a meaty triple-slot cooling solution, a factory overclock that’s in line with most other premium custom-designs, and a handful of enthusiast-grade features, such as dual-BIOS. The new RX 7800 XT being launched today alongside the RX 7700 XT, is designed for maxed out gaming at 1440p, with the former giving you a little more memory, a few more shaders, and a bit more future proofing. The RX 7800 XT is designed to square off against the GeForce RTX 4070 at a competitive price.

The Radeon RX 7800 XT is based on the latest RDNA3 graphics architecture, and uses the 5 nm EUV process, at least where it matters. The latest architecture from AMD promises generational performance uplifts on the back of several new on-die components. The new dual-issue rate compute unit maximizes idle hardware resources and offers a 17% IPC uplift over RDNA2. The AI accelerator lends it matrix-math capabilities. The 2nd generation Ray accelerator promises 50% improvements in ray intersection performance. The new multi-draw indirect accelerator is designed to provide significant speedups to DirectX applications made aware of it.

The RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT are based on the new Navi 32 silicon, which is a chiplet GPU just like the Navi 31 powering the RX 7900 series. All the logic-heavy graphics rendering and number-crunching machinery are located on a central 5 nm silicon called the graphics compute die (GCD), flanked by four smaller 6 nm chiplets that each contain segments of the GPU’s 64 MB Infinity Cache memory, and its 256-bit GDDR6 memory interface. With this, AMD is maximizing its wafer utilization for both the exotic 5 nm foundry node, and the cost-effective 6 nm.

The RX 7800 XT maxes out the Navi 32 silicon, enabling all 60 RDNA3 compute units physically present. This gives you 3,840 stream processors, 120 AI accelerators, 60 Ray accelerators, 240 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. Its 256-bit memory interface drives a nicely specified 16 GB of 19.5 Gbps GDDR6, yielding 624 GB/s of memory bandwidth. ASUS has given the RX 7800 XT a factory-overclock of 2213 MHz, compared to the 2124 MHz reference Game clock. ASUS is pricing the RX 7800 XT TUF Gaming OC at $530, a $30 premium over the $500 baseline.
