AMD’s price range model of the 7900 XT GPU is coming to the US for $549

AMD will begin promoting the Radeon RX 7900 GRE (Golden Rabbit Version) graphics card within the US, providing customers a detuned model of its 7900 XT flagship for $549. For a financial savings of round $350 over the latter, it has efficiency on par with NVIDIA’s RTX 4070 Super for some video games at some settings, based on AMD.

It provides spectacular specs for that sum, together with a Navi 31 XL GPU with 80 compute items (5120 stream processors), 160 AI accelerators and 16GB of GDDR6 reminiscence. That is only a bit lower than the 20GB of GDDR6, 96 compute items and 168 AI accelerators within the 7900 XT. With that, it provides 26 to 46 FP32 TFLOPS, a bit decrease than the 700 XT’s 32 to 51.6 FP32 TFLOPS. Nevertheless, which means it additionally consumes much less energy — 260W TGP in comparison with the XT’s 315W.

All of that ought to make it a powerhouse at its 1440p decision candy spot. AMD claims it provides 14 p.c extra FPS per greenback at 1440p settings than the $549 RTX 4070 12GB.

In some settings (comparable DLSS/FSR modes), it outperforms the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Tremendous, AMD claims.

On the similar time, the 7900 GRE comes with new AI accelerators as a part of the unified AMD RDNA 3 compute unit. With 160 AI accelerators and 16GB of DDR6 reminiscence, it could generate Steady Diffusion photographs in lower than a second, AMD stated, or allow you to load your personal giant language mannequin (LLM).

The 7900 GRE is not precisely an unknown entity, because it has been offered with PC builds (and even standalone), in Europe for awhile now in addition to China. Generally, you possibly can anticipate higher efficiency and decrease energy consumption than the 7800 XT (for simply $50 extra), and a few 20 p.c drop off in comparison with the 7900 XT (for $350 much less).

The 7900 GRE goes on sale beginning tomorrow (February 27, 2024) for $549. That is prone to be a candy spot for lots of US patrons, so for those who’re seeking to get one, act rapidly.
