For our majority of gamers, 2K resolution + high image quality is a very balanced game setting, it has achieved a very good look and feel in terms of resolution and picture quality, and the related monitors are also very cheap, and the requirements for computer performance are not so bt, so the most popular discrete graphics cards on the market are also to meet this need.
I recommend it to you todaySapphire RX 7700 XT 12G Polar Edition,It's a graphics card that can easily handle2K resolution,It's in the price of 3000 yuan,It provides the highest game performance on the market,Easily beat4060ti and other graphics cards at the same price,It can be described as the king of cost performance。
Let's take a look!
The RX 7700 XT is designed with AMD's RDNA3 architecture, using N**i 32 cores and 28.1 billion transistors. It has 3,456 stream processors, 54 compute units, and 54 second-generation ray tracing units. In terms of memory configuration, 192bit large bit width + 12GB large-capacity GDDR6 video memory, the memory speed has come to 18Gbps, and the parameters are still very eye-catching.
The TDP of the graphics card is 245W, and it is officially recommended to equip it with a power supply of no less than 700W. The power requirements are not high, and dual 8-pin can meet the RX 7700 XT.
Sapphire RX 7700 XT Polar Edition This graphics card adopts a pure white style design, the front and back are painted or made of white materials, the overall style is pure white and flawless, and the front line elements are also full of a sense of technology, elegant and cool, and the appearance is extremely high.
Although it is positioned in the mid-range, the stacking is unambiguous when it comes to heat dissipation.
The three double ball bearing cooling fans on the front have outstanding visual effects, and the design of the flying wing axial fans has brought good heat dissipation effect and low noise performance as always, and has good durability.
The overall heat dissipation fins are also very dense, and the workmanship is also very good.
5 nickel-plated heat pipes are also sufficient for 240W of TDP.
The white all-aluminum metal backplate on the back is very beautiful and luxurious, with good bending resistance and thermal conductivity, even if you don't use a bracket in daily life, such a backplane structure can maintain a low PCB deformation range.
It's worth mentioning that while this graphics card doesn't have RGB elements, it comes with a red faith light.
The LED switch can be toggled on the back panel, and the actual effect is as above after the light is turned on!
In terms of power supply, dual 8-pin power supply ports (150W*2) are more than enough for this graphics card.
In terms of interfaces, this card has 2 DisplayPort 21 and 2 x HDMI 21 interface, up to 8K60Hz, 4K high brush is definitely stress-free.
The overall visual effect is quite good, although there are no RGB elements in itself, but under the reflection of the surrounding light fans, the graphics card itself becomes very eye-catching.
The lighting is white, which goes well with this graphics card
It needs to be clarified hereThis graphics card has a length of 32cm and a height of 129cm。The chassis size needs to be paid attention to.
In order to maximize the performance of the graphics card, I tried to use the highest configuration, and the configuration of my test machine is as follows:
You can log in directly to the AMD official website, in Resources & Support**, this installation tool will automatically match the driver and graphics card control software according to the system.
After the AMD driver is installed, the system will come with an AMD graphics card control software
This software is suitable for beginners to make simple graphics card performance configurations, as well as "one-click overclocking". It's very convenient to use!
Because in some software or games, there may be unexpected bugs after overclocking the graphics card, so you can set whether to overclock according to your needs.
After the driver is installed, you can check the specific parameters of this graphics card in GPU-Z.
3DMark's Time Spy test mainly tests the graphics card's DX12 gaming performance at 2K resolution, while Time Spy Extreme targets 4K resolution.
RX 7700 XTTime Spy score is 17352 and Time Spy Extreme score is 7928.
For comparison, 4800 yuan N card: 4070, Time Spy score 18013, Time Spy Extreme score 8586.
The RX 7700 XT is less than 10% behind it.
The Fire Strike test is a classic, and it targets the gaming performance of the DX11, while the Fire Strike and Fire Strike Ultra correspond to the gaming performance tests at 1080p and 4K resolutions, respectively.
RX 7700 XTThe Fire Strike score is 42,610 and the Fire Strike Ultra score is 10,506
For comparison, 4800 yuan N card: 4070, Fire Strike score 45780, Fire Strike Ultra score 10102.
The RX 7700 XT is less than 10% behind the Fire Strike in terms of performance, while the Fire Strike Ultra is in the best of the pack.
The OpenCL benchmark measures the computing power of the GPU. The RX 7700 XT scored 140101.
Forza Horizon 5, released in 2021, is a very popular entertainment-oriented racing game with hardware optimized to get the most out of your machine.
Set to2K resolution + extreme image quality with presetsWhen the FSR function is disabled, the average GPU frame rate is 1098. Extremely silky on my 2K high brush monitor!
If set to1080pAll other settings are the same, the RX 7700 XT runs an average of 124 frames per second2。
Although it has been 3 years since the release of this game, after continuous optimization, this game can already run on various mainstream independent graphics consoles, but its high-quality options + ray tracing still stumped many mid-to-high-end graphics cards, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a hardware killer.
The default scheme is "Super", the resolution is 2k mode, and everything else is the default. The RX 7700 XT can run out of 8715 average frames.
At 1080p equivalent, the RX 7700 XT achieved a score of 12729 frames.
With the resolution set to 2K and the image quality set to "Maximum", the RX 7700 XT can run an average frame rate of 111.
With the resolution set to 1080p and all other settings constant, the RX 7700 XT can run an average frame rate of 143.
Next up is the big hit.
The graphics card requirements for this game are a bit high, and the low-end graphics card is a little difficult to play, and the RX 7700 XT is just right
As above, the resolution is set to 2k, and the other settings are set to the highest, and after about half an hour of playing, the average frame rate is 87 frames per second when the graphics card is basically fully loaded, and the silkiness is okay.
This game is a side story of the hit Borderlands 3, and the overall performance requirements are exactly the same as Borderlands 3.
use2k+ preset "villain" image quality, the game's built-in benchmark average frame rate is 8776, the whole picture is very silky.
Summary
The RX 7700 XT performs perfectly in games, running smoothly at high quality and far exceeding the standard of 60 fps for all major titles. If it's an FPS competitive game like CSGO, there's no pressure to run a full frame and swipe the monitor.
During the doughnut test, the GPU core temperature was 60 degrees Celsius and the hot spot was 79 degrees Celsius, which is a very low level.
At the same time, the power consumption is up to 238 watts.
The overall energy efficiency ratio is also excellent, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation module is very high, and the performance is excellent!
