The Last of Us Part I is a 2022 action-adventure game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. A remake of the 2013 game The Last of Us, it features revised gameplay, including enhanced combat and exploration, and expanded accessibility options. It was released for Microsoft Windows in March 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Naughty Dog in-house engine. We test using the Ultra preset, DX12 API.

 

We do see more of a gap between the RX 7800 XT and RTX 4070 in The Last of Us Part 1, where the AMD GPU holds a 13% lead over its Nvidia rival, delivering 80FPS on average in the process.

Up at 4K, things are relatively consistent, and we can see the 7800 XT holding 12% advantages over both the RX 6800 XT and RTX 4070, while it's only 7% slower than the 4070 Ti.
