AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Review

With the Radeon RX 7800 XT, AMD is going after the GeForce RTX 4070. Our review confirms that AMD has achieved performance parity in rasterization and is pretty close in ray tracing, at a much better price point, and they are giving you 16 GB VRAM, instead of just 12 GB.

Not to forget that in that price comes a Dell Alienware AW2521HFA 240Hz monitor.

$1500 is still too much, plus I'd want to ask if this is the really cheaply made 230V-only Bronze V2 because if it is, then that's another $100 or so to spend to have to remedy.

That's a decent monitor for sure ^^ On the flip side the 11900K runs hot and was never considered a solid buy for a gaming PC. The 7700 runs circles around that cpu while using less juice and running cooler. Same goes for the video card in regards to performance. The 3070 is a power hog by today's standards while only giving you 8GB of VRAM. The PSU (as already pointed out) is an overpriced doorstop not to mention that build only includes 16GB of RAM.

And we are at Black Friday time so there should be plenty of monitor deals dropping. The Alienware monitor only appears to be 1080p. If you are staying at 1080p a 7800xt is almost a waste of money. Should be really be looking at 1440p. Once you see the difference in resolution and fidelity you won’t want to go back.
