AMD has unveiled the Radeon RX 7700 XT graphics card with Navi 32 chip and 12GB of memory starting at $449
AMD announced two mid-range video cards at once. The first novelty is called Radeon RX 7700 XT.
Here's What We Know
The video card received a new Navi 32 graphics chip. The full configuration assumes 60 computational blocks, a memory bus of 256 bits and 64 MB of Infinity Cache.
However, the Radeon RX 7700 XT received a stripped down version of the GPU. In this case, Navi 32 has 52 compute blocks with 3456 stream processors, 54 ray tracing blocks and 108 AI accelerators.
The VRAM capacity is 12GB. The graphics card received GDDR6 type memory with 192-bit bus. The speed was 18 Gbps, and the bandwidth reaches 432 GB/s. In addition, the novelty consumes 245W and has a pair of 8pin connectors for connecting additional power.
AMD compared Radeon RX 7700 XT with GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. The new "red" graphics card turned out to be 12% more productive on average, but in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the superiority over the NVIDIA model reaches 31%.
Price & When We Can Expect It
The Radeon RX 7700 XT will be priced from $449 in the US and from €489 in Europe. AMD does not plan to release a reference version of the new graphics card. The start of sales is scheduled for 6 September 2023. For comparison, the already mentioned RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM costs from $499.
