AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT GPUs based on the RDNA 3 architecture have been leaked by the company itself ahead of their launch tomorrow.
AMD Seems To Be Super Excited About Its Upcoming RDNA 3 GPU, So Much So That It Leaked Its Radeon RX 7800 XT & 7700 XT GPU Hours Ahead of Unveil
So we know that AMD has an event planned for Gamescom 2023 where they are planning to unveil something big and also some "Enthusiast-Grade" products. Well, it looks like the AMD Radeon feed on X has exposed two of the key announcements that will take place during the event. The Radeon RX 7000 "RDNA 3" GPU family will be expanded with the Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT graphics cards.
Based on the pictures leaked by AMD, it looks like the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT may utilize a dual-fan reference design which is slightly bigger than the Radeon RX 7600's cooler. This is a confirmation that the triple-fan cooler we saw earlier was more or less a custom design from AIB ASRock. The card can be seen using a dual 8-pin connector interface and also makes use of a dual-slot cooling solution. Overall, the card retains its look and feel similar to the other RDNA 3 graphics card offerings.
Gamescom 2023 has already commenced and AMD has its own "Highlight Show" planned for the 25th of August at 8 AM (Pacific Time). The event will be hosted by AMD's gaming folks including Frank Azor and Scott Herkelman among other key personalities. Besides the two graphics cards, it is also likely that AMD would give us an official update on HYPR-RX & the highly anticipated FSR 3 tech that was meant to compete against DLSS 3.
Now as far as specifications are concerned, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT GPU is based on the Navi 32 SKU with four MCDs. The GPU core comes with 3840 cores packed within 60 Compute Units. It's configured with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM that operates across a 256-bit wide bus interface, packs 64 MB of Infinity Cache, & operates at an 18 Gbps pin speed for 576 GB/s of total bandwidth. That's RX 7800 XT but we don't know the exact configuration of the RX 7700 XT GPU yet.
Based on the memory configuration, it will feature a 192-bit bus interface so we are looking at another yet cut-down Navi 32 variant with only three of the four MCDs enabled so we can also expect 48 MB of Infinity Cache. As for the core configuration we can expect around 24 Compute Units with 3072 stream processors.
In terms of pricing, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card may cost between $550-$600 US while the Radeon RX 7700 XT may cost between $350-$450 US. Both of these cards will go up against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 series, respectively. AMD considers all GPUs above the $500 US price range as "Enthusiast-Class" whereas $1000 US & above products are labeled as the "Ultra-Enthusiast Class".
It should also be mentioned that AMD's rivals at the green team have already launched the full RTX 40 GPU lineup with just a few entry-level desktop SKUs missing. NVIDIA is now focused on further strengthening its software ecosystem and the recent announcements made at Gamescom 2023 such as DLSS 3.5 shows this. Hopefully, AMD can also unveil a mix of hardware and software at their event. The launch is just a few days ahead so stay tuned for the live stream.
