Radeon RX 6900 XT vs Radeon RX 7800 XT

The Radeon RX 6900 XT is the faster card — roughly 2% ahead of the Radeon RX 7800 XT on our spec-derived score, and it's the better pick if you're targeting 1440p. The Radeon RX 7800 XT still makes sense if it's meaningfully cheaper or you're gaming at a lower resolution. Run your full build through BuildForge to see whether your CPU can actually keep either card fed before you spend.
