The best $500 GPU around

- DAVE JAMES

AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT

HOW MUCH VALUE do you put on ray tracing as a PC gamer? That’s got to be at the forefront of your mind if you’re considering dropping $500 on an AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT. If you are sold on ray tracing, you probably need to consider whether you’re willing to pay another $100 for extra RT performance and drop the cash on the RTX 4070 instead.

If, however, you’re convinced that rasterized performance is the only GPU metric worth a damn in this topsy turvy world of PC gaming, then the RX 7800 XT is probably the best upper mid-range graphics card you can buy today. We effectively now we have four graphics cards capable of very similar frame rates: the RX 7800 XT here, the RTX 4070, and then the RTX 3080 (which is pretty much end-of-life now), and RX 6800 XT from the previous generation.
