What are the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT specs?
The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT specs were confirmed at the AMD Gaming Festival during Gamescom 2023. It boasts some generational improvements like clock speeds, along with some strange regressions in stream processor count.
| AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT specs | |
| GPU | Navi 32 (RDNA 3) |
| Stream processors | 3,840 |
| Compute Units | 60 |
| Ray accelerators | 60 (2nd Gen.) |
| Game clock | 2,124MHz |
| Boost clock | Up to 2,430MHz |
| VRAM | 16GB GDDR6 |
| Bus width | 256-bit |
| TDP | 263W |
Comparing the RX 7800 XT to its predecessor, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, reveals some strange generational differences. While they each share 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 256-bit bus, the RDNA 3 GPU strangely has less stream processors, ray accelerators, and compute units. That said, the ones on the RX 7800 XT are more powerful.
AMD has managed to tame the power draw of the RX 7800 XT versus the 6800 XT, bringing TDP down from 300W to 263W. Clock speeds are also faster, generationally speaking.
