MSI returns to AMD and launches its RX 7900 XTX Gaming Trio for “only” $1,100

With the launch of next-generation graphics like the NVIDIA RTX 40, we saw all the well-known companies (except EVGA) and even Chinese brands announce their new custom models with great fanfare. However, with the AMD RX 7000 we didn’t see that many models and in fact, brands like MSI didn’t even release any. now at last M: YES shows signs of life again at AMD and has put its first new-generation graphics card on sale, a RX 7900 XTX Gaming Trio Classic with a price 100 dollars more expensive with respect to the reference model.

The latest graphics cards released by NVIDIA and AMD have been released at a much more expensive price than previous generations. Especially in the case of NVIDIA, where we could see the RTX 4090 easily exceed the 2,000 euros in USA and the RTX 4080 overcome €1,500. In countries like the United States, its launch price was lower and sometimes we saw RTX 4090 below the $1,700. But this has been insufficient and there is speculation of a drop in sales for NVIDIA and a upload for AMD GPUs. Now that AMD Radeon graphics cards Reference RX 7900 XTX they are priced at about 900 dollarsit is surprising to see how MSI launches its custom model for no less than $1,100.

MSI launches its RX 7900 XTX for $1,100, $100 more than the reference

It is no surprise to anyone that the price of graphics cards in the United States is considerably lower than in Europe. There you can buy a RTX 4070 Ti in stores like newegg by 819 dollars based on the prices of the cheapest model currently being sold. Same goes for RX. 7900XT and XTXif they had made it clear, then the stock is over for the most part, except for one or two graphics cards that are considerably more expensive than usual. One of them is the MSI RX 7900 XTX Gaming Trio Classicwhich has been listed by none other than $1,099.99 at Newegg, a relatively high price.

Well, although we cannot compare them in that store as there is not enough stock, the reference model has a official price of 999 dollarswhich would imply that MSI is selling it for $100 more expensive. Also, if we take the model into account, the Gaming Trio is nowhere near the model top of the range of the company, which by air would be the DELETE X and by water the REMOVE LIQUID.

MSI has also taken the opportunity to finally launch the RX 7900 XT At a price of $949.99which implies only an increase of 50 dollars with respect to the $899 official. This may actually be MSI’s strategy, since if stores don’t have other AMD RX 7900s for sale, it can take advantage of it and set higher prices. Total is not that it really has competition in AMD and from NVIDIA, the Cheapest RTX 4080 are $1,199. So if someone is interested in a high-end GPU, the chances are still high that they’ll agree to pay those prices for a new AMD RX.

In fact, taking a look at the main American stores, one of the largest as Micro Center It only has an AMD RX 7900 GPU. This is the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 7900 XT, the top-of-the-range model that occupies no less than 4 slots.
