after 3 weeks on sale, price drops

Barely three weeks after going on sale the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GREthis graph already has seen its price reduced in China. You have to remember that it is only in china where you can buy this GPU. To clarify, although it has reached many other countries, at the moment of truth you cannot buy this GPU if it is not accompanied a whole computer.

In this way, in China, this graph has already adjusted its price. The reasons are many, starting because, at the level of performance, it is not wonderful. But that’s not the biggest problem with this GPU. His biggest problem is called AMD Radeon RX 7800XTwhich is expected to be announced next week alongside the RX 7700 XT.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE sees its price reduced by 4%

It’s not a big deal, but for something one starts. While this chart was originally released at a price of RMB5,299 (670 euros / 727 dollars), now costs RMB5,099 (644 euros / 700 dollars). In this way, we talk about a discount of 26 euros and 27 dollars. This price is tied to AMD’s reference desEsports Extrasgraphics card. Despite the price reduction, it is even more expensive than the best price in the west. In the United States, you can find at a price of 649 dollarsbut of course, with the obligation to buy it already mounted on a PC that is fully functional.

This implies that the GPU must be purchased along with a CPU, motherboard, RAM, SSD, power supply, and chassis. So at the moment of truth, the price is the least important thing, since if you are looking to buy a PC, do it with an AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE It’s not that it’s one of the best options..

For now, the most profitable, curiously, is to buy a GeForce RTX 4090or go for a previous generation GPU. In essence, the ones that offer the best balance in terms of performance offered per euro invested.

Does the Radeon RX 7800 XT really have a niche in the market?

Yes, this is how the entire market for new generation GPUs is. If NVIDIA released a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB more expensive than the GeForce RTX 4070AMD could do the same in the high-end segment.

The context is that between the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and the Radeon RX 7900 GRE there is very little difference in performance. Taking into account that the RX 7800 XT has 768 fewer cores than the 6800 XT, although more modern, things will be quite complicated. Above all, when each FPS that the RX 7800 XT can provide is more expensive than with an RX 6800 XT.

The AMD Radeon RX 7800XT would arrive with 3,840 Stream Processors. If it reaches a frequency of 2.5 GHz, it would give us a performance of 38 TFLOPs. This chip would have the same memory configuration as the RX 7900 GRE. This implies 16GB GDDR6 at 18Gbps which, with a 256-bit interface, achieves a bandwidth of 576GB/s. As far as Infinity Cache memory is concerned, it would have the same 64 MB of capacity.

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT came with 4,068 Stream Processors yielding a yield of 21 TFLOPs. At the memory level, it has the same 16GB GDDR6 but slower, reaching a bandwidth of 512GB/s. This is compensated by offering double the Infinity Cache memory: 128MB.
