Moving over to games and in A Plague Tale: Requiem at 1080p things are off to a pretty good start, coming in slightly faster than the RX 6900 XT from the last generation and sitting just behind the 6950 XT RDNA2 flagship. What’s the most interesting is that the RTX 4070 which comes in $100 more expensive, is only 3% better at this resolution.

1440p sees the 7800 XT coming in slightly stronger, though only by 2% which is nothing really, but considering the price disparity between the 7800 XT and RTX 4070, this is pretty impressive stuff and also a nice 10% uplift from the previous generation.

For those wanting to play at 4K, it misses the magical 60FPS mark ever so slightly, but still sees stronger performance than the competition in the form of the RTX 4070 and manages a 12% uplift generation to generation so things are off to a good start.
