Alongside Radeon RX 7800 XT, AMD has also launched the RX 7700 XT midrange graphics card. Like its more expensive sibling, this one's targeted at 1440p gaming too. So let's take a look at the specifications, features, and expected price in Nepal of the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT.

AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT Overview: 

Here, the RX 7700 XT competes against Nvidia's RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti. Its base and boost frequencies are rated at 2171 MHz and 2544 MHz respectively. Whereas it has 12GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a total memory bandwidth of 432 GB/s. Its 28.1 billion transistor count is about a 6.3% increase from the Radeon RX 6700 XT. The new RX 7700 XT also has more stream processors (3456>2560), ray accelerators (54>40), and compute units (54>40) than its predecessor. Moreover, its peak compute performance for single and half-precision is 35 TFLOPs and 70 TFLOPs respectively.

RDNA 3 microarchitecture

Like all the other cards in the Radeon RX 7000 series, this one is based on the newer RDNA 3 microarchitecture too. The Radeon RX 7700 XT is manufactured using a combination of 5nm (for graphics die) and 6nm (for memory die) process nodes. The thing is, the Radeon RX 7000 series are the first graphics cards to be built with a chiplet design. In simple terms, a chiplet design lets manufacturers build different compute dies of a chip using different lithography processes. This results in better yield, easier manufacturing, and reduced production costs. Other than this, RDNA 3 is also the first of its kind to have a dedicated media engine. The AMD Radiance Display Engine features support for 12-bit HDR, full coverage of the REC2020 color space, and up to 8K video playback.

How does it game?

As for the performance itself, the Radeon RX 7700 XT is a 1440p powerhouse. Offering approximately 20% better performance per dollar than competitors like the RTX 4060 Ti. It offers seamless 1440p gaming at 60+ fps. But the one catch is that the RX 7700 XT is less power efficient than its Nvidia counterpart.
