🎮 Raster Gaming Performance
-
Across a wide game suite at 1080p and 1440p, RX 7700 XT consistently outperforms the RTX 4060 Ti by approximately 14–20%, depending on resolution and title.
-
TechSpot reports the 7700 XT is ~9% faster on average than the RTX 4060 Ti at 1440p, and ~18% faster at 4K.
-
Community consensus:
“7700xt stomps on the 4060ti at rasterization… 12% better at 1080p and like 25% at 4k”.
-
Tom's Hardware labels AMD the overall gaming winner due to the substantial raster advantage.
🌐 Ray Tracing & Upscaling
-
Ray tracing performance sees the RX 7700 XT fall behind slightly—roughly 10% slower at 1080p and about 2–4% lag at 1440p/4K versus RTX 4060 Ti.
-
While RTX supports DLSS 3, RX leverages FSR, but the DLSS image quality and performance edge gives Nvidia a ray tracing advantage in supported titles .
