AMD launches Radeon RX 7900 GRE globally

by on26 February 2024


Drops the RX 7700 XT price to $419

As rumored earlier, AMD has now officially launched the Radeon RX 7900 GRE globally, putting more pressure on Nvidia's Geforce RTX 4070 non-Super, and filling the gap between its own Radeon RX 7900 XT and the Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics cards. AMD has also adjusted the price or the Radeon RX 7700 XT down to $419.

As you probably know, AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE, or short for Golden Rabbit Edition, was previously launched as a limited edition for the Chinese market. Based on Navi 31 GPU, the Radeon RX 7900 GRE packs 80 Compute Units (CUs), or 5,120 Stream Processors, 160 ROPs, 320 TMUs, and 80 Ray Accelerators. It also comes with 16GB of 18Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory interface, leaving it with 576GB/s of maximum memory bandwidth. The total board power (TBP) is set at 260W, which is probably the biggest limit of the RX 7900 GRE considering it is the same as on the Radeon RX 7800 XT.

Reviews for the Radeon RX 7900 GRE are already out, and there are plenty of custom versions from most AMD AIB partners, including Sapphire, ASRock, Powercolor, and others. Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 7900 GRE fits right between the RX 7800 XT and the RX 7800 XT, and some factory overclocked versions give even the RTX 4070 SUPER a hard time. Those same factory-overclocked versions are just slightly slower than the RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The standard versions of the RX 7900 GRE should change blows with the RTX 4070 SUPER.

The Radeon RX 7900 GRE goes on sale tomorrow, February 27, with price set at $549.99. AMD has also reduced the price of the Radeon RX 7700 XT, which now sells for $419, and can be already found at Amazon.com.
