NVidia Rivals AMD With High-End Gaming GPUs
The AMD RTX 4000 graphics cards are AMD’s newest and greatest desktop GPUs. The Radeon RX 7900 XT and Radeon RX 7900 XT are two new leading-edge graphics cards that were unveiled by Team Red at its launch event this week.
A chiplet-based design is used in the design of these graphics cards. As a result, they are the first graphics cards in the world that use the company’s RDNA 3 architecture format. Basically, GPUs are made up of two main components called a Graphics Compute Die (GCD) and a Memory Cache Die (MCD), each of which is comprised of a single semiconductor. In comparison to the GCD, the MCD keeps the traditional 6nm node and features the newer 5nm process.

As part of the GCD, there are new compute units, a new display engine, and a new dual media engine that are all based on RDNA 3. The new MCD has a 64-bit memory controller and 2nd-gen Infinity Cache that will guarantee peak memory bandwidth of 2.7 times more than the previous MCD.
There are three graphics cards in the latest lineup, the top-end being the RX 7900 XTX. The top-end RX 7900 XTX comes with 24GB of 384-bit GDDR6 video memory and a 96GB Infinity Cache. The device can be powered by two 8-pin connectors on its board and has 96 compute units and a maximum power limit of 355W.

With the RX 7900 XTX, AMD claims that the raw rasterization performance of the card has improved by up to 1.7x over the 6950 XT while the ray tracing performance has improved by up to 1.6x over the 6950 XT.
It seems that the manufacturer only has a few first-party benchmarks on display this time around, and there is no information provided that can be compared against the competition. It is also worth mentioning that the RX 7900 XT didn’t receive any benchmark results either. We’ll have to wait for third-party reviewers to get their hands on these new GPUs to get an accurate picture of what to expect from AMD’s latest offerings.
Compared to the Radeon RX 7800 XTX, the Radeon RX 7900 XT has a starting price of $999, while the RX 7800 XT costs $899. There will be a sale on these graphics cards starting on December 13 next month.
