PowerColor Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB GDDR6

★★★★☆ 4.1 (47)

The RDNA 3 architecture and 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus deliver strong 1440p gaming performance with 37.3 FP32 TFLOPS of compute power. Its compact 260mm dual-fan design fits easily into smaller cases without sacrificing the triple DisplayPort 2.1 and single HDMI 2.1 output configuration. This card is best for budget-conscious 1440p gamers who need high VRAM capacity and a compact form factor over raw 4K or workstation prowess.
