First Alleged AMD Radeon RX 7900-series Benchmarks Leaked

[TheLostSwede]

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.

Something interesting I see is that different games have different CPU usage and temps. Not sure if that’s a function of just a different place in the benchmark, or if different makes of GPU put different demands on the CPU. In 4K, it shouldn’t matter much, but might be more of interest for those with older CPUs.

As most predicted, 4080 will lose badly in raster from XTX and will be matched or even lose slightly from XT. Let's hope that will initiate a price war that will end up well for us consumers.

How can the cpu temp is around 10° lower with the 4080 ?
Should it not be the same ?

There are some YouTube videos comparing RTX 4090 and RX 7900XTX that are even weeks old, meaning fakes trying to trick people to view those videos. Hope you didn't fall for these kind of videos.

Yeah, I've been watching these earlier today. The 7900s look very good tbh. The question now is how are the RDNA3 options going to scale down in terms of price & performance...

 

[Panyamin]

The games are Dog of War [...]

Is this intentional typo?

Nah, this channel seems to be legit. I went back to check on earlier GPU launches where they break embargo again, but the results are in line with the benchmarks that follow. There's no reason why they'll start putting up fakes only now.

Fixed.

 

[TheinsanegamerN]

Actually not sure which title that's supposed to be, just copied text from the persons tweet.

God of war.......

Is this intentional typo?

Reminds me of that cancelled ubisoft game about dog soldiers fighting WWI. Man now I really wanna play it again.....

Not bad price to performance but unfortunately team red is hampered by hardware bugs

With the new chiplet design/layout, I can't say I'm not surprised. The only question is, how bad are we talking about? It's quite possible that AMD might be able to use driver workarounds to fix the bugs too until the next gen launches with proper hardware fixes.

That assumes its a hardware problem at all, instead of it being AMD's drivers being buggy, like with rDNA 1's downclocking issue or the 200/300's black screen issues, ece.

A 4080 running at those temps? I call BS on these benchmarks.

This - my 4090 won't hit 80C at 450W so I would agree here. Numbers look made up.

Just open a window? I mean, it's below zero outside...

 

[Deleted member 185088]

I'll wait for the reviews and more importantly for the real prices, as nVidia doubled the prices of their new GPUs compared to Ampere.

 

[Fluffmeister]

The 4080's lows seem very competitive, with the obvious exception.

 

[mahoney]

You go to be joking with these news worthy articles?
These are fake youtube clickbait for views benchmarks

 

[Bet0n]

The cards are not even out yet, yet some nobodies on twitter already spreading bs saying the cards are full of bugs, drivers are buggy, etc.
And "news" sites are so desperate for clicks that they accept them without any sort of confirmation or really anything.
Hilarious.

The first one who started this rumor was Igor's Lab almost a month ago. And now just a few days before launch there's others saying something similar?
Where there's smoke there's fire. And with the leaked 3d mark firestrike results they might be true.

 

[Darksword]

Come on TechPowerUP, you're better than this.

 

[Luminescent]

Wonder if scalpers jump on this after RTX 4080.
I was wrong with RTX 4090 saying who would buy this preposterous big and expensive card, scalpers did
It will be interesting to see what AMD can do but a meaningless launch for the masses who want a cheap 300-400$ GPU.

 

[Lucas_]

Finalllllly !!!! something to be happy about, now the final step to get one ! i hope it will be available day !

That leaked 3dmark result has no source and the numbers look very fishy especially the time spy scores. Afaik anybody can say some random number and write an article about it. Without source and screenshot it worth nothing. It's just simply a nothingburger awaiting for clicks.
Wait for 3rd party reviews.
As for Igor and the another unknown tweeting bs: sure Igor is a genius. He said some really stupid things in the past so I wouldn't bet on his rumors.
These leakers, reviewers and tech sites are all looking for clicks even if it's about nothing. MLID has 150k followers, Redgamingtech has 100k, both said so many things turned out to be fake and/or false still many consider them trusted leakers. I still remember RGT saying RDNA3 is 3x RDNA2 and it reaches 4 GHz. sure.

Well, even IF N31 needs a respin, Nvidia should be worried. If they deliver +10% performance over 4080 at a a lower price it is allready a win.

Personally I still dont buy anything above 200-250w max wattage.....and not for such prices anyway......but sadly I am a minority.
