Expected for the beginning of 2025, the new generation of graphics cards from AMD is starting to seriously talk about it. Based on the RDNA 4 architecture, this new range will initially be spearheaded by Radeon RX 8800 XTa model that could well redistribute the cards in the segment mainsteam. This product for desktop computers would indeed promise a jump in performance accompanied by better energy efficiency, all aiming to compete with current GeForces from NVIDIA, to the delight of gamers (and their wallets).
Recent leaks from specialized forums suggest the technical characteristics and potential positioning of this highly anticipated model. The RX 8800 XT would thus be based on a Navi 48 GPU, which is distinguished by its monolithic design and the use of an N4P engraving process from TSMC. This fine engraving, already used to manufacture AMD’s latest Ryzen processors, aims to optimize energy consumption while increasing performance.

RX 8800 XT: increased energy efficiency
One of the key arguments of the Radeon RX 8800 XT would be its reduced energy consumption compared to the current generation. The RX 7900 value. The manufacturer Seasonic even speaks of a TDP of only 220W for this card. This notable energy performance, the result of architectural improvements and a more efficient design provided by the RDNA 4 series, would therefore place this graphics card at the level of NVIDIA’s RTX 4070 Ti and 4070 Ti SUPER.
In addition to reducing electricity consumption, thearchitecture RDNA 4 also promises optimized heat dissipation. These new cards, including the RX 8800 XT, could thus operate at lower temperatures than current models, while maintaining a high level of performance. Enough to offer a quieter gaming experience to gamers.

A clear improvement in ray-tracing performance?
The other major advantage of the RX 8800 XT would lie in the significant improvement in its ray-tracing performance. AMD has long lagged behind NVIDIA in this area, but the new RDNA 4 architecture finally seems ready to close this gap. Tests carried out on games such as Resident Evil 4 Remake would indicate a 45% increase in ray-tracing performance compared to the RX 7900 XTX. The manufacturer has already announced that its RDNA 4 architecture would mark a major advance in ray-tracing and graphics displays assisted by artificial intelligence such as FSR.
The icing on the cake, in addition to increased ray-tracing performance, the RX 8800 XT should also compete with NVIDIA’s RTX 4080 in terms of classic rasterization performance. There remains a major problem for AMD: NVIDIA is also preparing a new range of GeForce RTX for 2025, with in particular an RTX 5090 with (supposedly) rather frightening characteristics…
