If you thought custom cards would be seriously pricey, as rumors have suggested, then this will be a pleasant surprise.
AMD’s RDNA 3 graphics cards are about to hit the shelves, and we’ve caught the price of a couple of XFX third-party models via Amazon listings which have now been yanked down – not before they were highlighted on Twitter, though.
Regular hardware leaker @momomo_us shared the product listings for XFX Speedster Merc 310 versions of the RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT via a tweet (flagged up by VideoCardz (opens in new tab)).
The 7900 XTX is AMD’s flagship for the next-gen, and going by the price tag on Amazon, XFX’s Speedster Merc version will retail at $1,100 in the US, which is a hundred bucks more than the reference board. The 7900 XT card is pitched at $979, which is $80 more than the reference model’s MSRP in the US.
As mentioned, these prices no longer appear on the respective product pages on Amazon, so someone has spotted the leaked info and stripped it out.
For the uninitiated, the reference version of a graphics card – which is the most basic incarnation of the board, built to AMD’s default spec – is always cheaper than custom variants, which have beefier clocks, and better components (plus more effective cooling), thus they’re obviously going to be pricier.
