Nvidia may be known for its top-tier graphics cards, but this Prime Day, Team Red is offering some serious deals that might make you rethink your allegiance. While Nvidia GPUs are scarce and their discounts are underwhelming, AMD has slashed prices on already discounted models, making it the prime time to snag a powerful graphics card at an incredible price.
The star of the show is the XFX Speedster QICK319 RX 7800 XT. This card packs a punch, trading blows with and even surpassing Nvidia’s $600 RTX 4070 Super. But here’s the kicker: it’s currently available for a jaw-dropping $427, a whopping 18% off its usual $520 price tag. That’s a significant discount, especially considering the RX 7800 XT quickly shot up to $600 upon its release due to its impressive performance.
Don’t let the discount fool you; this card truly delivers. My benchmarks showed that the RX 7800 XT blows the RTX 4070 out of the water at 1440p resolution and even manages to beat the $400 RTX 4060 Ti by an astounding 44%. That’s nearly a 50% performance boost for just $27 more. You’ll be enjoying smooth gameplay at over 120 frames per second, making it perfect for high refresh rate monitors.
Now, there is a caveat to consider. AMD falls behind Nvidia in the ray tracing department, and the RX 7800 XT is no exception. However, it still manages to outshine the $400 RTX 4060 Ti with ray tracing enabled. With this Prime Day deal, you’re essentially getting that level of performance for the same price.
If the RX 7800 XT isn’t enough for your gaming needs, XFX also has its Speedster MERC310 RX 7900 XT on sale for 21%, bringing the price down to a fantastic $631. That’s the lowest price this card has ever been offered, considering it originally launched for $900. This card has experienced price drops over the past few months, but this Prime Day deal is the best yet. You’re saving nearly $300 compared to the list price. For the incredible performance it delivers, that’s a steal.
When comparing the RX 7900 XT to Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Ti Super, you’ll find that they offer similar performance. However, with the Prime Day deal, you’ll be saving around $120, making the RX 7900 XT the more attractive choice. And if you’re not a fan of ray tracing, the RX 7900 XT even surpasses the RTX 4070 Ti Super in games without ray tracing. In Cyberpunk 2077, for example, the RX 7900 XT is a whopping 26% faster.
Nvidia does hold an edge with its DLSS 3.5 technology, but with the incredible Prime Day deals on AMD graphics cards, it’s worth switching to Team Red. The RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 XT offer top-notch performance for a fraction of the price of comparable Nvidia models. Plus, AMD is continually adding FSR 3 frame generation support to more games, and you can enjoy AI-driven AFMF 2 frame generation in almost any game thanks to AMD’s drivers. This Prime Day, ditch the Nvidia hype and consider the power and value of Team Red.
