Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Overall, across the 12 games tested, the RX 7900 GRE averaged 92FPS at 1440p, putting it neck-and-neck with the RTX 4070 Super, as there's less than a 1% difference between the two. This means the GRE is 8% faster than the RX 7800 XT, which isn't a massive difference considering the fact it has a third more cores, while it is 18% slower than the RX 7900 XT.

4K gaming isn't out of the question either, and once again performance is very close to that of the 4070 Super, while it's 9% faster than the 7800 XT. We're also looking at a deficit of just 6% versus the original 4070 Ti, while the GRE is 19% slower than the 7900 XT.
