Sapphire RX 7900 GRE Edition Graphics Card Review

Baldur’s Gate 3

Gather your party and return to the Forgotten Realms in a tale of fellowship and betrayal, sacrifice and survival, and the lure of absolute power. Mysterious abilities are awakening inside you, drawn from a mind-flayer parasite planted in your brain. Resist, and turn darkness against itself. Or embrace corruption, and become ultimate evil. From the creators of Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes a next-generation RPG, set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons.

Available now on Steam.

In Baldur’s Gate 3 at 1440p, the GRE comes in with a respectable 132 FPS, which now puts it 13% ahead of the 7800 XT, and matches the performance of the RTX 3090 from last generation which also puts it 14% behind the 7900 XT which is pretty good considering the 7900 XT comes in 35% more expensive, so arguably you’re getting better performance for your money here, especially as the GRE comes in 6% faster than the 4070 SUPER from NVIDIA which is $50 more expensive to buy 

At 4K, we still see more than playable performance at 75 FPS, which now comes identically to the RTX 3080 though that does see slightly better low figures which does seem to penalise AMD in this game. The GRE now comes in 16% slower than the 7900 XT, so again, better value overall, and pushes 10% ahead of the 7800 XT. The 4070 SUPER does play a bit more of a catchup at 4K, but the 7900 GRE still sits 4% faster overall.
