Starting with game performance and looking at Alan Wake II on the 7800 XT and it’s here where the Magnetic Air isn’t off to the best start being beaten by both the Sapphire Nitro+ and MERC 319 Black Edition cards, albeit only by between 3 and 4%, so could be argued margin of error or just not binning in terms of the GPU core.
Switching over to the 7900 XTX and cranking the resolution up to 4K and we find in Alan Wake II that the performance is a little better from the Magnetic Air card this time round. It matches that of the XFX MERC 310 Black Edition and comes in just under 2% faster than the AMD reference card, though this only equates to 1 FPS in the averages, and the same in the 1% lows.
