AMD has finally released new mid to high-tier graphics to fill out that gap it has created, except only in China. The RX 7900 Golden Rabbit Edition launched on July 28th, 2023 which puts it underneath the 79xx cards sitting at the top of the RDNA 3 architecture.
As WCCFTech reports, the new GPU was announced at the ChinaJoy 2023 exhibit alongside the Ryzen 5 7500F processor as well. These are both exclusive to the region though, although the processor has been said to be coming in OEMs to some other countries.
The graphics card comes with models from AMD’s AIB partners including PowerColor, Sapphire, and XFX but also a reference card from Radeon itself. This GPU aims to pit itself against the RTX 4070 from Nvidia and starts to fill the void that is in the generation where the best value options should be, and this card offers slightly better pricing coming in at $649 USD.
RX 7900 GRE specs
| RX 7900 XTX | RX 7900 XT | RX 7900 GRE | RX 7600 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU | Navi 31 XTX | Navi 31 XT | Navi 31 XL | Navi 33 XL |
| Compute units | 96 | 84 | 80 | 32 |
| Stream processors | 6,144 | 5,376 | 5,120 | 2,048 |
| Boost clock | 2,500MHz | 2,400MHz | 2,200MHz | 2,600MHz |
| Memory | 24GB GDDR6 | 20GB GDDR6 | 16GB GDDR6 | 8GB GDDR6 |
| Memory bus | 384-bit | 320-bit | 256-bit | 128-bit |
| Bandwidth | 960GB/s | 800GB/s | 576GB/s | 288GB/s |
| TGP | 355W | 315W | 260W | 165W |
| Power connectors | 2x 8-pin | 2x 8-pin | 2x 8-pin | 1x 8-pin |
| PCIe interface | PCIe 4 x16 | PCIe 4 x16 | PCIe 4 x16 | PCIe 4 x8 |
| MSRP | $999 | $899 | $649 | $269 |
The RX 7900 GRE uses a further cut-down Navi 31 XL chip. That drops the CUs by four from the RX 7900 XT, and that means it has around 1,000 fewer stream processors than the flagship RX 7900 XTX. Along with 16GB of GDDR6 memory that brings it a further 4GB down from the top two GPUs. It also cuts down the memory bus to just 256-bit and brings down the bandwidth to 576GB/s.
In total the card only consumes 260W at a maximum. That is provided through two 8-pin connectors, the same as the top-of-the-range options. It does also keep the full x16 PCIe interface to make sure no performance is lost out and utilizes it fully, unlike the RX 7600 which halves it and saves on what it won’t use.
All of that comes in at $649, which is a much more reasonable price especially as it’s not far behind the XT card. Although it is only released in Asia right now, with US pricing and information provided, it could show that this option will come out to the rest of the world at some point. As for now, we have rumors of the RX 7800 and 7700 potentially coming out in September.
