I recently switched to the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT after the better part of a year using a 16GB Intel Arc A770. I loved Intel’s first flagship GPU at release, but continual bugs with its driver updates and its weakness in some content creation tasks meant I was in dire need of an upgrade.
Naming conventions among the best graphics cards can be a bit confusing. Compared to last gen’s RX 6800 XT which is a much-loved mid-ranger, this feels more like an architectural refresh rather than a full generational step up. Arguably, the RX 7900 GRE is the true successor to the 6800 XT, but that’s not to say this card should be slept on.
