The new desktop GPUs arrive on Dec. 13 and will be significantly more affordable than Nvidia’s rival graphics cards.
AMD is going after Nvidia by releasing next-generation graphics cards that’ll start under $1,000, making them more affordable than the current crop of RTX 4000 products.
On Thursday, AMD introduced two desktop GPUs in the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT, which will start at $999 and $899, respectively, when they go on sale Dec. 13.
The cards have been built to power gaming at 4K and even 8K resolution. AMD says you can expect the Radeon RX 7900 XTX to offer up to a 70% performance increase over the $1,099 RX 6950XT when it comes to 4K gaming.
“The world’s fastest gaming card for under $1,000,” added AMD SVP Scott Herkelman during the unveiling event.
The key improvements to the products include a 5-nanometer manufacturing process to pack even more transistors on the GPU chips, and DisplayPort 2.
