AMD's Greedy Upsell: RX 7900 XT Review & Benchmarks vs. XTX, 4080, & More

Sponsor: Crucial DDR5 Memory https://geni.us/XKQaQ
AMD's RX 7900 XT is basically just an upsell technique for the RX 7900 XTX. The XT fails to provide any meaningful value over last generation cards, it fails to beat any NVIDIA 40-series cards, and it is clearly a greedy play at pushing consumers to the RX 7900 XTX -- just like the 4080 is designed to push people to the 4090, except NVIDIA at least has the defense of being the literal 'best' on the charts. This review and benchmark of the AMD RX 7900 XT will test it vs. the RX 7900 XTX, the NVIDIA RTX 4080 and 4090, the AMD RX 6950 XT, and more. We're looking at gaming performance, ray tracing, thermals, and power.
