The global launch of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE will take place on February 27th.

AMD saw the launch Radeon RX 7900 GRE for the next February 27. One thing to keep in mind is that this is not a new GPU and was originally launched in July 2023 in the Chinese market. It will be now, more than six months later, when it officially appears in other markets.

The release of this video card is now associated with an attempt to reduce sales of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. This Radeon RX 7900 GRE directly competes with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. Now in price it will compete with GeForce RTX 4070 a less powerful original and with less video memory.

The global launch of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE will cost $549.

Videocardz had access to a slide indicating that the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE will arrive on February 27th. for $549. This doesn’t take it far away from the price. Radeon RX 7800 XT ($499). In other words, it could slow down sales of its best-selling graphics card, since this model costs on average 14% faster in 4K resolution paying $50 more (+10%).

This GPU uses a Navi 31 XL graphics chip with access to a total of 80 CUs, which means 5120 stream processors A big jump from the 3840 stream processors at 2.40 GHz in the RX 7800 XT. Although both have 16GB GDDR6 memory With a 256-bit interface, this model uses 18 Gbps chips to achieve 576 GB/s bandwidth. The RX 7800 XT uses 19.5 Gbps chips that increase bandwidth to 624 GB/s.

AMD focused on comparing its AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 at 1440p.

Up to 32% faster than NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 at the same price

According to the data that AMD will provide, it will take advantage of the fact that its Radeon RX 7900 GRE up to 32% faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. On average we are talking about 14% more productivity at the same recommended price. Additionally, AMD will also take advantage of the fact that its GPU offers 16 GB video memory compared to the 12GB offered by the NVIDIA model. Judging by the reviews we’ve already seen, its performance is comparable to the RTX 4070 Ti.

The problem with these Radeon RX 7900 GRE is this. limit consumption to 280 W. This is why, despite the presence 33% more cores than the RX 7800 XT, the performance difference is closer to 14%. Due to the bottleneck created by the memory interface and power consumption limitation, this helps prevent cannibalization of sales of higher end models like the Radeon RX 7900 XT or RX 7900 XTX. Now it would be interesting to know how much the available models can be overclocked.

Speaking of models, information has surfaced that some of AMD’s first partners will be releasing a special model. Among them are XFX, PowerColor and GIGABYTE.
