Given the focus of the Radeon RX 7700 XT / RX 7800 XT graphics cards, all of the testing for this article was done at 1440p. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and even Counter-Strike 2 can easily run on all of these graphics cards with ease at 1440p (and 4K). The RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT performance was coming in right where expected between the RX 7600 and RX 7900 series with the open-source upstream driver state at launch.
