ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE Review: AMD Almost Hits The Sweet Spot
ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE: Game Benchmarks And Resolution Scaling Tests
Forspoken Benchmarks
Forspoken
Forspoken has the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE clearly outrunning the GeForce RTX 4070 at both resolutions, and encroaching on RTX 4070 Super territory. The game is perfectly playable maxed out at 1440P, but it's not quite there at 4K.
With FSR 3 or DLSS enabled (sans frame generation), performance increases across the board (obviously), and the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE is able to achieve 74FPS without frame generation or 128FPS with it at 4K.
Far Cry 6 Benchmarks Benchmarks
Next up, we’ve got some benchmark scores from Far Cry 6, the latest installment in the storied franchise. Like its predecessors, Far Cry 6 is a fast-action shooter set in an open world environment with lush visuals and high graphics fidelity. The game is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, ruled by dictator "El Presidente" Antón Castillo, famously played by actor Giancarlo Esposito. We tested all of the graphics cards here at multiple resolutions using Ultra Quality settings to see how they handled this AAA title.

Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is an action-adventure game where you play as Star-Lord and lead the rest of the Guardians from mission to mission. The game’s minimum requirements call for a Radeon RX 570 or GeForce GTX 1060-class GPU, but it also supports some of the latest graphics technologies, including DXR and DLSS. With all of the in-game image quality settings maxed out, this game can be pretty punishing...

With ray tracing enabled in this game, the GeForces clearly pull ahead and the RTX 4070 outguns the new ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE. The ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE also finishes right where its branding suggests, smack dab in between the Radeon RX 7800 XT and higher-end 7900 XT.
Returnal Benchmarks
Returnal is a port of the popular PS5 game, which follows Selene as she searches for a way out of the barren landscape of an ancient civilization. Returnal is a fast-paced, third-person shooter that makes use of many advanced graphics techniques and employs technologies like DLSS, XeSS, and FSR...

Once again the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE is able to overtake the GeForce RTX 4070 and hang with the RTX 4070 Super at both resolutions, using Returnal's most-taxing "Epic" graphics preset. 1440p hits a smooth 79FPS on the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE, but lands in the mid-40s at 4K.
Enabling DLSS or FSR in Returnal significantly boosts framerates, as you'd expect, and allows the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE to achieve a smooth 83FPS at 4K, and just barely trail the RTX 4070 Super.
F1 23 Benchmarks
F1 23 is Codemaster’s latest Formula One racing simulation, and like previous version of the game, it sports impressive visuals. This latest addition to the franchise supports DirectX 12 with ray tracing, and it incorporates support for a number of AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and NVIDIA technologies (like DLSS). We tested the games with its Ultra High graphics preset, with ray-tracing and TAA enabled at a couple of resolutions to see what the graphics cards could do.
F1 23
With DLSS or FSR 2 enabled in F1 23, all of the cards are able to achieve playable framerates at 4K, but the overall rankings don't change -- the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 GRE is sandwiched by the GeForce RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070.
Cyberpunk 2077 Benchmarks
Cyberpunk 2077 is based on the Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing game franchise. The tabletop game was published for the first time in 1988, and the intervening 30-some years have not changed the game world all that much. As a result, Cyberpunk 2077 looks somewhat retro-futuristic, as this is how people in the 1980s imagined what the future would look like. The game make use of virtually every advanced DirectX graphics technologies, features like DLSS, FSR and XeSS, and after a somewhat rocky release, it has been significantly updated and optimized for a multitude of hardware configurations...
Cyberpunk 2077
With DLSS of FSR enabled in Cyberpunk, framerates increase, but it's only with frame generation enabled that this class of GPUs is able to hit playable framerates at 4K in this demanding title.
