The Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XTX gaming graphics card is on sale for $999.99 as part of Amazon's Black Friday Sale. With its impeccable build quality, overbuilt cooling system, and extreme overclocking potential, it surpasses the RTX 4080 in performance while being quieter and producing less heat. Despite being pricier than other RX 7900 XTX models, the Nitro+ offers superior value for its price, making it a great deal for gamers.
Immortals of Aveum, the first major game to use the Unreal 5 engine, disappoints with low FPS performance on high-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090 GPUs. The more affordable AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX outperforms the RTX 4080 by over 10% and even beats the RTX 4070 Ti by over 20% at 4K resolution. Previous-gen Radeon cards also outperform comparable GeForce cards, with the RX 6800 XT, 6800, and RX 7600 performing better than their GeForce counterparts. To achieve 60 FPS at 1080p, a Radeon RX 6800 or GeForce RTX 4070 is the minimum requirement, while 1440p requires a Radeon RX 7900 XT or GeForce RTX 4080. 4K gameplay is only possible with DLSS 2 or FSR, with the RTX 4090 being the fastest at an average of 44 FPS, followed by the RX 7900 XTX with 41 FPS.
