AMD is about to unveil new Radeon graphics playing cards throughout a Gamescom press convention scheduled for August 25 at 17:00 native time. Although the precise merchandise to be introduced weren’t disclosed, it is fairly protected to say that when Scott Herkelman, the overall supervisor of AMD’s graphics enterprise teases “main product bulletins”, we’ll be seeing the lengthy awaited RX 7800 XT and/or RX 7700 XT.
AMD is about to fill a significant hole in its lineup. Following the discharge of the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT in December of 2022, issues have been quiet on the Radeon entrance. The less expensive RX 7600 was launched in Could, however curiously, the massive hole between the 2 RX 7900s and RX 7600 has remained huge open. That is all set to vary.
Please be a part of the @AMDRadeon crew at Gamescom subsequent week for our subsequent main product bulletins! If you may make it to Germany and will probably be one of many couple hundred of thousand guests attending one of many greatest gaming occasions I hope to speak to you in individual!… pic.twitter.com/Te7l7ufU59August 16, 2023
It wasn’t too way back that AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su mentioned AMD was on observe to launch “enthusiast-class” graphics playing cards earlier than the top of October. However then PowerColor jumped the gun and posted the whole product web page for its Purple Satan Radeon RX 7800 XT, with specs and footage. That web page was rapidly taken down, and somebody at PowerColor certainly acquired detention that day, if not worse.
The RX 7800 XT is anticipated to go towards Nvidia’s RTX 4070 playing cards. Due to PowerColor’s leak, we all know the cardboard options 3840 shader models and 16GB of GDDR6 related to a 256-bit reminiscence bus. That places it nearly proper in the course of the RX 7900 XT and RX 7600’s specs. We’ll have to attend somewhat longer to see the way it performs, although.
Particulars on the RX 7700 XT are scarcer. It is presumably an RX 4060 Ti competitor and I’ll assume it makes use of a cut-down model of the RX 7800 XT’s Navi 32 GPU. 12GB of VRAM and a 192-bit bus would appear doubtless.
In the long run it is going to all come right down to how the playing cards are priced. They do not should beat Nvidia’s opponents if they’ve enticing costs, however AMD will probably be hoping the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 will probably be aggressive by all measures.
We cannot have lengthy to search out out. August 25 is only a week away, and meaning critiques will more than likely observe in September.
