AMD Radeon RX 8800 XT reportedly targeting RTX 4080 performance

AMD's next-generation RDNA 4 graphics cards are generating a lot of excitement, and fresh leaks from Chiphell forum users and Seasonic have shed more light on the potential performance and power consumption of the Radeon RX 8800 XT.

According to zhangzhonghao (via Wccftech), the Navi 48-based RX 8800 XT could deliver ray tracing and rasterisation performance comparable to Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4080 and 4080 Super. This claim is based on tests conducted in Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, where the RX 8800 XT reportedly achieves a 45% uplift in ray tracing performance compared to the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.

The same leaker also claims that the RX 8800 XT is significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, consuming about 25% less than the Radeon RX 7900 XTX. If that's the case, it would have a power consumption of around 270W. Further fueling the speculation, Seasonic's official power calculator (via VideoCardz) now includes a listing for the Radeon RX 8800 XT with a TDP of 220W. While AMD hasn't officially confirmed this figure, its presence in Seasonic's calculator suggests that it might be based on insider information.

The RX 8800 XT is expected to enter mass production in mid-December, pointing to a potential launch in mid-to-late January. Based on previous leaks, the RX 8800 XT is rumoured to feature 64 CUs (4096 cores) and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory.

KitGuru says: With its potential to rival the RTX 4080 in performance while consuming significantly less power, the Radeon RX 8800 XT is shaping up to be a compelling option for gamers seeking high-end graphics.
