AMD decides to launch its RX 7900 GRE on the global market. As a reminder, this board is a commemorative model for the Chinese market. In the past, however, there have been a few cards available via component bundles, and in rare cases, cards sold on their own. This time, this model will be launched globally, with AMD positioning it opposite the non-Super RTX 4070!
RX 7900 GRE: a globally launched card to rival the RTX 4070?
As a reminder, this model is the third AMD reference to feature a Navi31 GPU with 80 compute units (5120 stream processors). As for memory, we’re treated to 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus… Incidentally, this third model was launched before the RX 7800 XT.
Initially, this card was priced at $599, but with the launch of the RTX 40 Super, AMD reduced the price to $549, or $50 less. The aim was to realign the card with the RTX 4070, which also underwent a price reduction.
At present, AMD is promising a 14% higher FPS/price ratio than the RTX 4070. Depending on the title, the red graphics show improved performance of 32% on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 or 29% on The Witcher 3… All the while offering more VRAM : 16 GB vs. 12 GB.
Finally, according to VideoCardz: launch scheduled for today.
