Originally reserved for the Chinese market, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE will be launched worldwide on February 27 with Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070 as a direct competitor.
The graphics card market is now in a period of transition: Nvidia has just launched its RTX 40 Super and AMD is preparing the ground for its future generation, RDNA 4 for the next school year.
But it seems that this generation is not completely over for AMD, which has decided to launch worldwide a graphics card originally reserved for the Chinese market: the RX 7900 GRE. In reality, it was easily found in other countries, which pushed the manufacturer to offer it worldwide.
AMD releases an RTX 4070 killer
The RX 7900 GRE uses a reduced version of the Navi31 chipset used in other AMD 7900 series GPUs. In terms of power, it must therefore be placed slightly below the RX 7900 XT while the manufacturer wants to directly compete with Nvidia’s RTX 4070 in the mid-range.
The technical sheet is therefore similar to the manufacturer’s latest graphics cards, with 80 calculation units, 16 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 18 Gbps on a 256-bit bus. We are therefore very close to the RX 7800 XT for a price 50 euros more expensive.
AMD intends this card for gaming in 1440p at high refresh rate with performance on average 14% higher than this definition according to the manufacturer’s benchmarks (in rasterization). It of course supports the entire AMD HYPR-RX software suite to take advantage of image generation and FSR 3 in particular.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE pricing and availability
There is no reference card for this RX 7900 GRE, which will be available tomorrow, February 27, at the recommended price of 609.90 euros. You can get it from AMD partners like Acer, ASUS, ASRock, Gigabyte, Sapphire, PowerColor and XFX.
