What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.6 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about AMD Radeon RX 7700S

  • Capable of playing modern games at 1080p with high settings, often exceeding 100 FPS.
  • Noticeable performance improvement over its predecessor, the RX 6700S.
  • Supports advanced features like hardware raytracing and FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) for improved performance in compatible games.
  • Offers good value when found in mid-range laptop deals (e.g., ASUS TUF A16 at around $780).
  • Integration with Ryzen CPUs allows for efficient switching between integrated and discrete graphics to save power.

What customers don't like about AMD Radeon RX 7700S

  • Raytracing performance generally lags behind competing NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series GPUs.
  • The 8GB VRAM can be a bottleneck in demanding games at ultra settings, leading to 'low memory' warnings.
  • Users have reported high operating temperatures (hotspots near 97°C) under heavy load, sometimes requiring a cooling pad.
  • Drivers and firmware issues occasionally cause freezes during automatic GPU switching.
  • Power efficiency is lower compared to NVIDIA's RTX 4060, consuming more power for similar performance levels.
  • On specific laptops like the Framework 16, high power draw can lead to battery drainage even while plugged in due to inadequate charger overhead.

Verdict

The AMD Radeon RX 7700S is a mobile upper mid-range graphics card built on the RDNA 3 architecture and a 6nm process, specifically optimized for power-efficient gaming in thin-and-light laptops. Key specifications include 2,048 shading units (32 compute units), 32 raytracing acceleration cores, and 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of up to 288 GB/s. Operating with a TGP ranging from 75W to 100W, the card features a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of up to 2500 MHz, supplemented by 32MB of second-generation Infinity Cache. Its main pros include strong 1080p and competitive 1440p rasterization performance, support for AV1 encoding, and compatibility with AMD's FSR 3 and Fluid Motion Frames technology. However, its primary cons are weaker raytracing performance compared to Nvidia's RTX 40-series mobile GPUs and a 128-bit memory bus that may limit performance in highly texture-intensive modern titles.
