Wereviewed the Radeon RX 7800 XTand found the card to be rather underwhelming at release because of the lateness of its arrival in the 7000-series stack, and even though it has good 1440p and 1080p performance, it was only slightly faster than the RX 6800 XT, albeit with some minor power efficiency improvements.
