UNITED STATES: AMD has officially introduced two new powerful additions to its esteemed Radeon RX 7000 series: the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT. The grand revelation took place at the highly anticipated Gamescom 2023 event held in Germany.
These cutting-edge GPUs, harnessed with AMD’s innovative Navi 32 GPU architecture, promise to redefine the gaming experience by effortlessly accommodating the demands of the latest titles at 1440p (2K) resolution.
Marking a significant stride in the realm of mid-range graphics cards, these dynamic offerings are scheduled to hit the market on September 6. The imminent launch will be closely followed by the much-anticipated Hypr-RX-enabled drivers from the tech giant.
What’s more, the debut of these graphic powerhouses aligns perfectly with the release date of Bethesda’s forthcoming space-themed action RPG, Starfield. As a cherry on top, purchasers of the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT or RX 7700 XT will be granted free access to this highly anticipated game.
Diving into the specifications, the RX 7800 XT boasts an impressive configuration of 60 compute units, ray accelerators, and a substantial 16GB of VRAM. Its counterpart, the RX 7700 XT, slightly toned down but equally potent, features 54 compute units and ray accelerators, coupled with 12GB of GDDR6 memory.
Considering power efficiency, the RX 7800 XT is rated at a consumption of 263W, while the RX 7700 XT settles at a more conservative 245W. Wallet-conscious gamers will find the pricing enticing as well, with the RX 7800 XT retailing at $499 and the RX 7700 XT at $449.
These newcomers are poised to lock horns with NVIDIA’s RTX 4070 and 4060Ti, providing gamers with a tantalizing choice. Adding to the excitement, AMD also unveiled details about the upcoming FSR3 image scaling technology.
Unlike its NVIDIA counterpart, DLSS, FSR3 boasts wider compatibility, catering to Radeon 5000, 6000, and 7000 series GPUs, along with support for NVIDIA’s 20-series, 30-series, and 40-series cards.
While specifics about FSR3’s widespread availability remain unknown, early adopters can anticipate its incorporation in titles like Immortals of Aveum and Forspoken, followed by games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Black Myth: Wukong in the future.
