Notes on 11 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Release date: First retail sale December 13, 2022; announced November 3, 2022.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Launch price: AMD's launch figure is the SEP (suggested e-commerce price); partner cards often sold higher.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Boost clock: Boost is a burst maximum; typical gaming runs near the 2300 MHz game clock.
  4. 4AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Memory bandwidth: AMD also quotes 3500 GB/s 'effective' bandwidth with Infinity Cache; 960 GB/s is the raw VRAM figure.
  5. 5AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Recommended PSU: AMD's 800W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 5900X-class system; other builds may need more headroom.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Power connectors: The reference card uses two 8-pin connectors.
  7. 7AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1 runs UHBR 13.5, up to 54Gbps of display link bandwidth per AMD.
  8. 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Max displays: Standard configuration supports up to 4 simultaneous displays based on the 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI port count.
  9. 9AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Hardware encode: AMD's spec table marks 4K H264 Encode, H265/HEVC Encode and AV1 Encode all as Yes.
  10. 10AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Video encoders: AMD describes a Dual Media Engine, i.e. two encode/decode engines, capable of simultaneous 8K60 HEVC streams.
  11. 11NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Slot width: Calculated from the published 40 mm width (thickness), typically corresponding to a dual-slot form factor.

Performance and Power

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX delivers massive raw power with 61.4 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 6,144 shader cores, outperforming the competition in heavy processing tasks. However, that processing might requires a hefty 355 W board power and an 800 W recommended PSU, demanding a robust system build.

In contrast, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB prioritizes efficiency by drawing only 180 W and requiring just a 500 W power supply. It hits a 2,572 MHz boost clock, giving users a responsive burst maximum while keeping thermal and electrical demands much lower.

Memory and Architecture

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX features 24 GB of GDDR6 video memory paired with a wide 384-bit bus and 96 MB of last-level cache, yielding 960 GB/s of raw VRAM bandwidth for high-resolution assets.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB counters with newer GDDR7 memory operating at 28 Gbps across a narrower 128-bit bus, achieving 448 GB/s of bandwidth. While it carries less total capacity and bus width than its rival, the advanced memory type ensures swift data access for modern applications.

Size and System Fit

Physical dimensions dictate case compatibility, and the NVIDIA card is significantly more compact at 241 mm in length with a dual-slot width. This smaller footprint allows it to fit easily into modest chassis builds.

The AMD card stretches to 287 mm long and takes up 2.5 slots, requiring significantly more clearance inside a desktop case to accommodate its larger cooler.
