AMD RX 7900M promises to outperform NVIDIA RTX 4080, how will it achieve that?
The AMD RX 7900M aims to outperform the NVIDIA RTX 4080 by employing several key strategies.
AMD has unveiled its latest mobile gaming GPU, the Radeon RX 7900M. This powerful chip boasts 72 compute units and 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, setting it apart with its emphasis on delivering high frame rates in 1440p gaming, rather than prioritizing 4K visuals. This approach caters to gamers seeking a smooth gaming experience.

In contrast to its competitor, NVIDIA's RTX 4080 mobile chip, which has a power draw of 110 watts, the RX 7900M is more power-hungry, consuming up to 180 watts. AMD justifies this higher energy consumption by claiming that their new chip can outperform the RTX 4080 by 7% in average frame rates. In certain games like Starfield, AMD suggests their chip could deliver a 27% performance boost.
The RX 7900M isn't just about raw power; it incorporates smart technology. AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 3) upscaling technology promises a significant FPS boost in games, making it a practical choice for gamers who demand high performance. While the chip may lag behind in ray-traced games compared to NVIDIA's offerings, it excels in rasterized games.
In collaboration with Alienware, AMD is integrating the RX 7900M and its Ryzen 9 7945HX processor into the upcoming m18 laptop. This partnership aims to create an ecosystem where each component complements the other, enhancing the overall gaming experience. The m18 laptop boasts an 18-inch QHD+ display and up to 64GB of RAM and is expected to hit the market in the last quarter of 2023.
