The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GR♚E originally launched exclusively in China, but the GPU giant just announced that it’ll release worldwide for $549. Better still, it apparently outperforms the RTX 4070, and there’s a good chance it’ll actually end up becoming my favorite affordable 🔜4K GPU as a result. 

At this point, it feels like there’s a GPU for everyone roaming around the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best graphics card battlefield. At the start of the generation, both the main players did focus solely on having a dance off at the premium party, with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 catering to beyond enthusiast levels of performance and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX playing the role of a traditional flagship card. However, the red team’s next release proves that the year ahead is going to be about valve, and that&rs💛quo;s fantas♏tic news for those of you hoping to enjoy 4K PC visuals for a reasonable price.

In a press release, AMD reveals that the Radeon RX 7900 GRE will be released worldwide on February 27. As I already spoiled above, it’s set to come in at $549, which just so happens to be the same price as the original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 that arrived in 2023.

In terms of specs, the RX 7900 GRE comes armed with a Navi 31 and 16GB GDDR6 VRAM, meaning it’s sort of a mix between the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Radeon RX 7900 XT and newer RX 7800 XT. However, despite using the same RDNA 3 chip as the flagship, it’s 2,245MHz boost clock speed and slower mꦍemory mean it’s ultimately gunning for the mid-range crown.

Despite numerous references to🉐 the card being a mid-range rival, including in-house 1440p benchmarks, AMD does suggest the RX 7900 GRE is also a 4K GPU. I’d prefer to get my hands on one for testing before committing to that idea, but I reckon that it 🎃could pull off some impressive UHD tricks with some settings tweaks. Not to mention that it has access to HYPR-RX, consisting of both FSR 3.0 upscaling and Frame Generation tech.

I’m not saying the RX 7900 GRE will serve as a fully fledged 4K graphics card, nor do I think it’ll trump something like the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super. That said, I do ಌthink for many players, it w🐟ill provide just enough oomph and upscaling tricks to become a UHD option, and for $540, it's arguably better value than the rest of the upper mid-range crowd.
