Acer’s overclocked RX 7800 XT drops in China, following CES tease

Earlier today, Acer dropped its Nitro Shadow Knight RX 7800 XT in the Chinese market, just a few months after showing it off at CES 2024 [h/t ITHome.com]. Admittedly we didn’t get our hands on it during the show— some other Acer oddities caught our attention at the time— but the latest “Shadow Knight” in Acer’s lineup does seem interesting. If it comes stateside at competitive pricing, it could take on other 7800 XT cards which outpace the more-expensive RTX 4070 cards.

In the past, we’ve seen that the RX 7800 XT can be placed squarely between the RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070 in rasterization performance. Meanwhile, ray tracing workloads specifically push the RX 7800 XT down to performance more in line with a 4060 Ti— though that’s still better RT than anything a console is doing.
