AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT
$380$449 MSRP
The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT offers 12GB of GDDR6 for solid 1440p gaming. It competes with the RTX 4070 at a lower price point, though with weaker ray tracing. Not suitable for AI workloads. The RX 7800 XT offers better value in most markets, making the 7700 XT a niche pick.
Best ForBudget 1440p gaming
VerdictDecent, but the 7800 XT is usually worth the upgrade.
