At just $710, it’s the cheapest it’s ever been and well worth considering.
In the battle for sales of graphics cards, there are only three combatants: AMD, Intel, and Nvidia. Unfortunately, it takes years to develop a GPU so when one of them launches a new product, the opposition is rarely in the position to fight back with a similarly new chip. But what they can do is invoke a temporary price drop, to pull customers’ gaze away, and that’s precisely what AMD has done to its Radeon RX 7900 XT.
With a normal SEP/MSRP of $799, AMD’s second most powerful graphics card, the Radeon RX 7900 XT, is typically up against Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which is the same price. However, the recent launch of the $599 RTX 4070 Super, which performs pretty closely to the 4070 Ti, means neither card looks all that tempting.
So AMD teamed up with its main board partners and selected online retailers (as spotted at TweakTown), and sliced $90 off the tags for ASRock, Sapphire, PowerColour, and XFX Radeon RX 7900 XT cards. In some cases, you’ll need to employ a promo code to get the full discount, but at $710, it’s the lowest the 7900 XT has ever been.
