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).

Verdict

The ASRock Radeon RX 7700 XT Phantom Gaming OC is a high-performance mid-range graphics card built on the AMD RDNA 3 architecture, featuring 3456 stream processors, 54 compute units, and 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. This factory-overclocked model delivers a boost clock of up to 2599 MHz and a game clock of 2276 MHz, supported by a 240W total board power and a robust triple-fan Phantom Gaming 3X Cooling System with 0dB silent cooling technology. Key advantages include its exceptional 1440p gaming performance, high-quality build with a reinforced metal frame and stylish backplate, and integrated Polychrome SYNC ARGB lighting. However, the card faces significant performance drop-offs at 4K resolutions, trails behind NVIDIA's DLSS 3 in upscaling quality, and is often viewed as less of a value compared to the slightly more expensive but more capable Radeon RX 7800 XT.
