Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has begun shipping its AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics processing units (GPUs), catering to gaming enthusiasts worldwide.
The new 7900 series supports immersive 1440p and 4K gaming, featuring 16GB of GDDR6 video memory and 80 unified compute units that integrate ray tracing (RT) and AI accelerators. Key enhancements include AMD HYPR-RX, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, and AMD Fluid Motion Frames.
These GPUs are available from add-in-board partners, starting at $549. AMD unveiled the full 7900 series lineup, which includes the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, RX 7900 XT, and RX 7900 GRE.
The RX 7900 XTX offers 96 compute units, 192 AI accelerators, and 6,144 stream processors, while the RX 7900 XT features 84 compute units, 168 AI accelerators, and 5,376 stream processors. In contrast, the RX 7900 GRE is equipped with 80 compute units, 160 AI accelerators, and 5,120 stream processors.
The RX 7900 GRE competes directly with Nvidia's $549 GeForce RTX 4070, which has 12GB of memory. AMD claims its GPU delivers 16GB of memory at the same price and can achieve 32% more frames per second in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Additionally, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 enhances frame rates for popular titles like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Baldur’s Gate 3, and F1 23. AMD has also released a new update of its AMD Software Adrenaline Edition (version 24.1.1).
In other developments, AMD partnered with SolidRun, a developer of high-performance System on Module (SOM) solutions, to introduce the Ryzen V3000 CX7 Com module. This module is powered by the 8-core/16-thread Ryzen Embedded V3C48 processor and features AMD’s cutting-edge 6nm Zen 3 architecture, combining high performance with energy efficiency.
