On AMD’s Radeon web site, the value of the RX 7900 XT — the marginally cheaper of its new 7000-series playing cards — is $900 with a short lived low cost to $849 and a bundle with The Final of Us. However in the event you go searching, a number of US retailers are promoting the cardboard and its many producer variants at $800 or slightly extra. That’s a comparatively quick low cost for a high-end card, however little question a welcome one for players whose choices on this vary of energy have gotten extra restricted and costly.
On Newegg, the XFX Speedster and ASRock Phantom variations of the RX 7900 XT at the moment are $799.99 whereas Amazon has a PowerColor “Hellhound” variant for a hair beneath $804. Numerous information retailers are reporting comparable value drops at worldwide retailers, although there are nonetheless loads of variations of the cardboard promoting for $900 or greater. We’ve contacted AMD representatives for a remark to see if this can be a everlasting value drop or some sort of restricted promotion and have but to listen to again.
Notably, this makes no less than some variations of the RX 7900 XT the identical value as Nvidia’s RTX 4070 Ti. The most cost effective card but in Nvidia’s 40-series lineup was already one thing of a poor worth proposition versus the RX 7900 XT given a “hobbled” reminiscence bus and small RAM pool. Whereas Nvidia stays a a lot better name for players who worth ray tracing and a flexible software program stack, AMD now has an undisputable {hardware} benefit on the $800 value level, no less than in the interim.
Whether or not the value is a everlasting drop or not, count on the assorted variations of the cardboard to hit that value frequently to any extent further.
