Present at Gamescom, which will open its doors on August 23 in Cologne, AMD should take advantage of the event to announce something new concerning its offer of graphics cards Radeon… currently sparse on the mid-range.
It’s no longer really a secret, AMD should soon announce new Radeon graphics cards. At the beginning of August, and as the specialized media reminds us AnandTech, the firm indeed promised that it would soon refresh its lineup. We now learn that AMD would take advantage of Gamescom to launch at least one new graphics card, probably positioned in the mid-range.
A sparse mid-range Radeon
A few days ago, Scott Herkelman, head of AMD’s GPU branch, spoke on X (ex-Twitter) of ” major product announcements during Gamescom. A statement taken by Frank Azor, head of Gaming at AMD, confirming that the firm has many new products to show us this week.
Become by force of circumstances (and especially by the decrepitude of E3), one of the biggest gaming events in the world, Gamescom is often used by the brand to make announcements of new hardware. As a reminder, the AMD Gaming Festival 2023 conference must, for its part, be held on the sidelines of the show, on August 25th. We should therefore be set very soon on the group’s projects.
The Navi 32 GPU in the pipeline?
It remains to be seen what kind of graphics card AMD will be able to reveal. In this case, the most serious track is that of one or more mid-range models based on the Navi 32 GPU and on the RDNA 3 architecture. The idea would then be to compete with NVIDIA and its excellent RTX 4070 with an intermediate solution, positioned between the Navi 31 and Navi 33 GPU cards already launched by AMD.
For context, the company currently offers an entry-level Radeon RX 7600 (with a recommended price of $270), and a Radeon RX 7900 XT (around $900). Between the two, not much to eat… with the exception of a few Radeon RX 6000 models, dated, but still in the AMD catalog for lack of anything better.
AMD would therefore have every interest in quickly filling the void present in its mid-range, for example by introducing new Radeon RX 7700 and RX 7800.
