The Sapphire Pulse RX 7700 XT is overshadowed by AMD’s own 7800 XT boards.
WITH THE RELEASE of the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, AMD’s RX 7000-series is apparently complete. These cards fill the gaping hole AMD had in its line-up following the release of the high-end RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX in late 2022 and the mainstream RX 7600 in May.
Specifically, we’re dealing with the Sapphire Pulse RX 7700 XT. All 7700 XTs are AIB cards, as there is no AMD reference card. This is the base model of the three cards Sapphire offers. It’s joined by the mid-range Pure and highend Nitro+. The Pulse is priced at the 7700 XT’s $449 MSPR, and honestly, spending more on premium models is foolish.
