Gigabyte Radeon RX 7700 XT GAMING OC 12G (GV-R77XTGAMING OC-12GD)

A modern mid-class video card with 12 GB of video memory, released by Gigabyte in 2023. It is distinguished by the presence of factory overclocking of the GPU, a relatively affordable price and the use of an effective two-slot Windforce cooling system. The CO is equipped with a fairly thick radiator, seven direct contact composite tubes and a pair of active 90mm fans with an optimized impeller.

To power the device, the manufacturer recommends a power supply with a power of at least 700 W. Gigabyte Radeon RX 7700 XT GAMING OC 12G is based on the Navi 32 GPU (5 nm, RDNA 3 architecture) with factory overclocking to 2599 MHz and a 12 GB GDDR6 memory buffer (frequency 18000 MHz, 192 bits). Positioned as a more modern replacement for mid-range Radeon video cards, including the Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 6700 XT.

At the same time, it is a direct alternative to mid-class video cards from NVIDIA. In the popular synthetic benchmark G3D Mark, the video card scores 20,673 points, 2,000 points ahead of its direct competitor NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and inferior to the modified GeForce RTX 4060 Ti by the same 2,000 points. In gaming tests, the Radeon RX 7700 XT demonstrates excellent performance in most modern AAA games released in 2020-2024, providing stable 60-90 FPS at high/maximum graphics settings in such hits of recent years as Elden Ring, Alan Wake 2, Jedi Survivor and CP2077: Phantom Liberty. In case of insufficient FPS, the manufacturer recommends disabling hardware ray tracing, reducing graphics settings to medium, or activating AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution. This is a rather complex set of AI technologies, which, like NVIDIA DLSS, allows you to increase the average number of frames per second by manipulating the game resolution and completing frames.
