Important preliminary remark
In the end, these are only specially selected games, but I chose them as examples from over 20 titles and the pre-tests with two cards, because the result was almost exactly the same in the end. The weighting between the titles with pure raytracing without DXR and with DXR was done in a ratio of 6:4, with the four DXR titles coming out very differently. Full ray tracing fun in Cyberpunk 2077, combined with more medium-weight effects like in Metro Exodus EE and the hybrid implementation of lighting to Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, where ray tracing really only comes into play humanely.
DXR is being implemented in more and more games, and the current engines almost all allow for it by now. From this point of view, it would be just as unfair to completely forego it as it would be to exclusively use such titles with DXR. Since every user has different preferences and some prefer to do without DXR completely (why actually?), I accommodate all target groups somewhat by mixing them. The tested Radeon RX 6950XT is unfortunately a heavily factory overclocked board partner card, which makes the comparison (especially in efficiency and power consumption) somewhat difficult. However, unfortunately nothing else could be found.
Sum of all games
For the evaluation I use all games, no matter if with or without DXR. This is certainly the best representation of everyday life, where the number of games without DXR still clearly outweighs, but you wouldn’t want to do without it. The Sapphire Radeon RX 7700XT Pure 12GB is visibly faster than the Pure, although not by an extreme amount.
For now, the picture looks like this: in WQHD, the Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT 12GB Pure is still 2.7% ahead of the Pulse. It is more than the tolerance range, but you won’t really notice it for a while.
The P1 Low on the other hand is a different story. The Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT Pure 12GB is already 4.5% ahead of the Pulse, which is mainly due to the higher power limit. The clock rate also drops a bit less under load.
But what about the power consumption? On average, the Radeon RX 7700XT Pure is just under 8 watts ahead of the Pulse, which is a bit more inefficient. Well, power comes from fuel.
Of course, this is reflected in the efficiency in the end, which is more on the level of an overclocked Radeon RX 7800XT. But let’s forget it, it’s the will that counts.
That brings us through with Full HD and we want to see if anything changes in WQHD. Turn the page once, please!
