Well done , AMD . Today is a big daylight for Nvidia — after all , today is when theRTX 4070 Superhits the ledge . So what does AMD do ? It serves up a immense monetary value cut on one of itstop computer graphic cardsin this genesis to strike back at Nvidia and counter its big release . Coincidence ? No style . But will this price tag be miserable enough when Nvidia plunge the RTX 4070 Ti Super ?
AMD’sRX 7900 XTis the GPU that ’s now a slew cheaper , with an official price of $ 750 , but some models are as trashy as $ 710 . It initially launched at $ 900 and was never the most democratic option out of AMD ’s two flagship . The RX 7900 XTX , priced at just $ 100 more , often made more sense due to its greatly improved performance . As such , the RX 7900 XT was a bit of a draw a blank entry in AMD ’s card . Its price cursorily plummet to $ 800 and even lower at certain retailer .

The fact that the GPU had been slowly cast in damage over the last class make this price cut off a niggling less impactful , but on newspaper , the bill of fare move down from $ 900 to close to $ 700 in the span of 13 month . At around $ 710 , it makes a militant option to the new RTX 4070 Super , which , as we ’ve found , lags behind this GPU at every resolution .
Of course , throwingDLSS 3and ray trace into the admixture judder thing up a stack . RunningCyberpunk 2077on radical preferences , at 4 yard , with ray tracing enabled and DLSS 3 toggle on get 77.5 frames per second ( fps)in our testing . The RX 7900 XT average out 18 fps . However , this is more of a will to the mightiness of Nvidia ’s DLSS 3 and not the new GPU itself .
When the RTX 4070 Ti Super hit the market with its new glasses and the same $ 800 price tatter , thing might get tougher for AMD . Seeing as the young Nvidia launch is expect to perform at around the same level as the RTX 4080 ( non - Super ) , it ’ll likely exhaust the RX 7900 XT in every scenario . At $ 800 , it will , once again , put the RX 7900 XT in an embarrassing posture on the market place where it ’s not quite tacky enough to be a steal and also not quite powerful enough to be a must - have .
With that say , if DLSS 3 is of no use to you , the new deal on the RX 7900 XT are pretty great aright now — and you ’ll still save $ 50 to $ 100 compared to bribe the RTX 4070 Ti Super when it get out . AMD ’s RX 7900 XT is .
Keep in head that , according toTweakTown , this might just be a seasonal promotion and not a permanent price cut of meat , so it ’s best to buy it quickly before AMD deepen its mind .
