First Alleged AMD Radeon RX 7900-series Benchmarks Leaked
With only a couple of days to go until the AMD RX 7900-series benchmarks go live, some alleged benchmarks from both the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT have leaked on Twitter. The two cards are being compared to a NVIDIA RTX 4080 card in no less than seven different game titles, all running at 4K resolution. The games are God of War, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Watchdogs Legion, Red Dead Redemption 2, Doom Eternal and Horizon Zero Dawn. The cards were tested on a system with a Core i9-12900K CPU which was paired with 32 GB of RAM of unknown type.
It's too early to draw any real conclusions from this test, but in general, the RX 7900 XTX comes out on top, ahead of the RTX 4080, so no surprises here. The RX 7900 XT is either tied with the RTX 4080 or a fair bit slower, with the exception being Red Dead Redemption 2, where the RTX 4080 is the slowest card, although it also appears to have some issues, since the one percent lows are hitting 2 FPS. Soon, the reviews will be out and everything will become more clear, but it appears that AMD's RX 7900 XTX will give NVIDIA's RTX 4080 a run for its money, if these benchmarks are anything to go by.
Update Dec 11th: The original tweet has been removed, for unknown reasons. It could be because the numbers were fake, or because they were in breach of AMD's NDA.

That yt channel had 4090/4080 vids like two weeks before they were out...
It's obviously fake
Sadly AMD already announced that the performance gain is even less, only +17.4%.
So probably 4K raster in TPU's testbed will end like that:
If RX 7900XTX performance is 100% then:
RTX 4080 is 100% (best case for Nvidia)
RTX 4080 is 95% (preferred scenario)
RTX 4080 is 90% (best case for AMD)
The performance gain for 7900XTX vs 6950XT is actually disappointing compared to resources allocated, but at least is priced right!
there is no point posting this article if it's fake
BTW, how'd they get a 4080 to run 80C? My FE card struggles to reach 60C, lol
The CPU hit also seems to be higher on Nvidia all over the place. I'm gonna look out for that one in real tests... going to make the 7900XTX vs 4090 perf interesting because it would be limited much harder.haha misread the gpu temp for cpu :D Its an opposite situation, in fact!

I'm just frustrated with the GPU market. Especially how everyone complains online how they want competition, but then never use their purchases to make that a reality. If you refer to the literature on consumer psychology, it all demonstrates that consumers DON'T make rational choices, that they're made on emotions and a weird desire to build a parasocial relationship with a brand.....it just seems like there's LITERALLY, no product that AMD can ever make, regardless of how much better it is, that will ever translate to an increase in marketshare. If I had the time and resources, I'd love to do some research based on personal interviews with GPU customers to determine the ACTUAL reasons behind their choice.
Look at one of the very first replies to this article, a user references some weird "hardware bug" with RDNA3 and uses that to completely dismiss the whole product line....first, the product isn't even released yet, how could they possibly have access to legitimate and accurate information demonstrating a "hardware bug" already? Secondly, it seems like this person has already made their mind up on buying Nvidia in perpetuity and this "hardware bug" is merely a pretext to create the air of rationality around their choice.
suck it, AMD fanboys! I'm paying more to get less! can't wait to play portal rtx with 20 fps...
"amd drivers are icky"
"nvidia just works"
"I mostly play games, but nvidia does 3d better, and I plan to do 3d one day... maybe. I'll get back to you on that in 5 more gpu generations"
"nvidia cards just don't have the same problems as amd"
"nvenc is better than amd's encoder, I don't stream tho"
"you pay more for premium - nvidia is premium. I love premium. I love luxury products."
"nvidia looks better in my pc case"
in 99% of cases when someone gives you a reason other than performance as to why they choose nvidia over AMD - it's a bullshit cope, people are just unwilling to try alternatives, afraid of the unknown/dark and so on
the only reasons why I chose the 6800 xt over the 3080 is because it has 16gb of vram (so I believe it'll be more futureproof because of that alone, there are examples of the 3080's 10 gigs of vram being inadequate in modern games, in nvidia's own benchmark games ironically...), draws less power and overclocks a little better
