Here we test three games, all at 2560×1440 resolution using maximum image quality settings.

We don't focus heavily on game benchmarks in our partner card reviews, as the differences made by a factory overclock are very small. In this instance, we can see the Sapphire Pulse (which runs at reference clocks) is a frame or two slower than the other factory overclocked models, but we're talking very small differences and nothing you would be likely to spot in the real-world.

We can, however, see the 7700 XT is still comfortably faster than the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, which is Nvidia's nearest rival – retailing for around £400. The Pulse 7700 XT is 30% faster in Cyberpunk for instance, so it's really in a different league to the 4060 Ti 16GB.
