Introduction

XFX Radeon RX 7700 XT Speedster Qick 319 is the company’s premium custom-design take on AMD’s much-needed performance-segment addition its RX 7000 series graphics card lineup. At the time of this writing, it is the only RX 7700 XT product by XFX. The Qick 319 sets you up with a massive triple-slot cooling solution with a focus on low-noise, as well as high-end aesthetics. The card looks like it’s from a segment above when installed. You also get a nifty factory overclock to go. AMD’s double launch today, of the RX 7700 XT we’re reviewing here, and its sibling, the RX 7800 XT, fill the vast performance gap that existed between the RX 7600 meant for 1080p gaming, and the enthusiast-class RX 7900 series for 4K gaming. Both the new cards are recommended by AMD for maxed out gaming at the 1440p resolution, with the RX 7700 XT bringing in some serious value-proposition at its starting price of $450.

The Radeon RX 7700 XT is a thoroughly next-gen product from AMD, as it is based on the latest RDNA3 graphics architecture, and uses the contemporary 5 nm EUV foundry node for the key components of the GPU. The RDNA3 architecture introduces an updated dual-issue rate compute unit that supports several new math formats, the new AI accelerator (a matrix math accelerator); MDIA (multi-draw indirect accelerator), a component that promises transformational speed-ups for DirectX 12 apps that utilize it; and the company’s 2nd generation Ray accelerator, which promises a 50% generational ray tracing performance uplift. The compute unit fronts a 17% IPC uplift, which together with increased engine clock speeds, contribute to the generational speed up. AMD is now running the front-end of the GPU at a 10-15% higher clock speed than the shader engines, which results in greater energy efficiency.

The RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT launching today introduce the new Navi 32 GPU. Based on the same chiplet design as the Navi 31 powering the RX 7900 series, the Navi 32 is scaled down. The main graphics rendering and number crunching machinery is centralized on an advanced 5 nm die, surrounded by up to four smaller 6 nm chiplets that contain segments of the GPU’s Infinity Cache and GDDR6 memory interface. The RX 7700 XT is configured with 3 out of 4 MCDs, giving it a 192-bit GDDR6 memory bus, and 48 MB of Infinity Cache. The GCD sees 54 out of 60 RDNA3 compute units being enabled, resulting in 3,456 stream processors, 108 AI accelerators, 54 Ray accelerators, 216 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The RX 7700 XT gets 12 GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory, which across the 192-bit memory bus results in 432 GB/s of bandwidth.

XFX is running the RX 7700 XT at clock speeds of 2276 MHz Game clocks, compared to 2171 MHz reference. Besides a powerful cooling solution, you get enthusiast-segment features such as dual-BIOS, a 14-phase VRM, and 13-blade double ball-bearing fans. With this generation, XFX’s original product design focuses on even more airy cooler shrouds and backplates, so the heatsink exhausts better. XFX is pricing the RX 7700 XT Qick 319 at $470—a $20 increase over MSRP.
