Gigabyte is joining the RX 7900 GRE party, bringing the previously China-exclusive GPU to a wider audience. This special edition card, based on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture, boasts 16GB GDDR6 memory, 80 compute units, and impressive ray-tracing and AI capabilities.
While Gigabyte’s specific variant details, including clock speeds, pricing, and availability, remain under wraps, we know the core RX 7900 GRE specs:
16GB GDDR6 VRAM
260W total board power
80 compute units
80 ray-tracing accelerators
160 AI accelerators
AV1 codec support for high-quality game streaming
Design-wise, expect similarity to Gigabyte’s RX 7800 XT Gaming edition. However, it’s worth noting that AMD GPUs often receive less design love from Gigabyte compared to their Nvidia counterparts.
The bigger news? The RX 7900 GRE is breaking free from China! Listings have popped up in Europe, and you can even snag it pre-built in a CyberPower PC from BestBuy for $1749. Sightings in Japan and India suggest further global expansion could be on the horizon.
But is the RX 7900 GRE for you? Availability remains limited, and the newer RX 7800 XT offers similar performance. The more powerful RX 7900 XT is another option, though pricier. If you find a great RX 7900 GRE deal, it could be worth considering.
