AMD’s new Radeon 7900 XTX is significantly cheaper than the RTX 4090

AMD has introduced two new graphics cards with the Radeon RX 7900 XT and the Radeon RX 7900 XTX.

And they are much cheaper than what Nvidia recently presented with its RTX 4090.

How much do the new Radeon graphics cards cost?

AMD is offering the Radeon RX 7900 XT for $899 and the RX 7900 XTX for $999. Both are therefore under the $1,000 mark and are $600 cheaper than Nvidia’s flagship RTX 4090.

Both should be available from December 13th. More graphics cards from the RX-7000 series have not yet been announced, more could follow in 2023. The introduction of FSR 3 can also be expected next year.

Both the 7900 XT and the 7900 XTX support DisplayPort 2.1 and thus 8K resolutions with up to 165 Hz or 4K resolutions with up to 480 Hz.

According to AMD, the 7900 XTX is 1.5 to 1.7 times faster than the RX 6950 XT at 4K resolution, as tested in games like Resident Evil Village and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you could even achieve 96 fps in 8K resolution with the help of FSR. Of course, all of these are internal numbers and should be treated with caution. Tests will show how well the 7900 XT and 7900 XTX really do.

The 7900 XT has 20 GB of VRAM, a base clock speed of 1.5 GHz (2.0 GHz Game and 2.4 GHz Boost) and 84 compute units (RDNA 3). The 7900 XTX has 24 GB of VRAM, a base clock rate of 1.9 GHz (2.3 Game and 2.5 GHz Boost) and 96 computing units.

The 7900 XT requires 300 watts, AMD recommends a 750 watt power supply. The 7900 XTX has 355 watts and an 800 watt power supply.
