AMD’s RX 7900 XTX can match Nvidia’s RTX 4090 — but you won’t like the cost

Under normal circumstances, the AMD RX 7900 XTX graphics card is no match for Nvidia’s flagship, the GeForce RTX 4090, in terms of pure performance. But there is a way to match the latter in performance — though the price you have to pay might be a little too high for some.

If you remove the RX 7900 XTX’s power limiter, it’s able to match the RTX 4090 in the 3DMark10 benchmarks with a high clock speed of 3.33GHz. According to 3DMark Time Spy Extreme’s scoring, the graphics card was able to reach as high as 18,335 points, which is actually 10% better than the RTX 4090’s 16,654 (which PC Gamer recorded in its own review of the latter).
