Here we test five games, all at 3840×2160 resolution using maximum image quality settings.
The reason why game benchmarks are less of a focus for us in an AIB review, compared to our launch day coverage, quickly becomes clear when looking at the above charts – there’s basically no difference between the Spectral White and AMD reference card in terms of frame rates. In actual fact, over the 5 games I benchmarked, I didn’t see a difference of more than a single frame, so the gaming experience is absolutely identical between the two. That’s been the case for a while now, but at the end of the day, this 7900 XTX performs like a 7900 XTX should, so we have no complaints – just don’t expect big performance gains out of the box versus the reference card.
