The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is the RX 7900 XT's beefier sibling, and it could put up a fight against the RTX 4090. We'll need to wait until reviews for the graphics card hit the net, but it boasts a much lower price point than many were expecting, meaning it might be the next value GPU.
It takes more than raw power to snatch the Nvidia DLSS in its corner. Fortunately, the XTX will have AMD FSR 3 in their corner in 2023 – at least when games eventually get the FidelityFX Super Resolution update.
Following the official announcement, we know plenty about both the XTX and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX release date
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX release date was on December 13, 2022, when the 7900 XT was also released.
Much like Nvidia, there's still no sign of entry-level or mid-range cards, but these could rear their head in 2023.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX price
No matter which way you slice it, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX price point is its most alluring feature, sitting below $1,000 USD. It hasn't given into increased manufacturing costs and has instead slightly undercut its Radeon RX 6900 XT MSRP with a $999 price tag.
This is a whopping $600 less than the Nvidia RTX 4090 – two thirds of its competitor's price. That's enough of a saving to actually grab the best gaming U from Intel's previous Alder Lake generation or AMD's current Ryzen 9 5900X.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX specs
The official AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX specs show that the graphics card has 24GB of GDDR6 RAM. Although this is the same amount as the Nvidia RTX 4090, its rival packs better GDDR6X memory, although this is likely one of the ways AMD has managed to bring the price down.
| RX 7900 XTX | RX 7900 XT | RX 6900 XT | |
| VRAM (GDDR6) | 24GB | 24GB | 16GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Game frequency | 2.3GHz | 2.0GHz | 2.0GHz |
| Boost frequency | 2.5GHz | 2.4GHz | 2.25GHz |
| Compute units | 96 (RDNA 3) | 84 (RDNA 3) | 80 (RDNA 2) |
| TBP | 355W | 300W | 300W |
| Bus Width | 384-bit | 384-bit | 256-bit |
Along with the XT model, the RX 7900 XTX has beaten the best gaming monitor to the punch, being one of the first devices to include a DisplayPort 2.1 connector. This is capable of 8K resolutions at 165Hz or 4K at a 480Hz refresh rate. Displays will eventually catch up, with the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 being one of the first DisplayPort 2.1 armed 8K screens launching at CES 2023.
You also won't need to go changing wires or using a 12VHPWR adapter, risking the best power supply without any unnecessary faff.
Naturally, even the best gaming PC will struggle with resolutions beyond 4K without the help of upscaling software, so 8K will only be possible in games that have added FSR .
