The wait is finally over. Since Lisa Su took to the stage on November 4th to introduce the Radeon RX 7900 XT and Radeon RX 7900 XTX, we’ve seen some manufacturers announce their designs, and we’ve been cracking down on what to expect from the top of the line lineup. generation, and we also warned you about the proliferation of some performance tests that you shouldn’t trust, even if they are published everywhere. All this with respect to today, the day the Radeon RX 7900 XT and Radeon RX 7900 XTX finally hit the market.

These new graphics cards mark the debut of the RDNA 3 architecture, a technology we’ve been talking about for a while and which brings some very interesting innovations compared to its predecessor, such as HDMI 2.1 support, which AMD managed to get. an advantage for NVIDIA with its RTX 40. According to AMD’s own data, in terms of raw power, RDNA 3 represents a 54% performance improvement compared to its predecessor, to which we must add other improvements that make the jump even higher than the RX 6000.

With recommended prices starting at 1,159.99 and 1,059.99 euros for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT, respectively, price is another very important trick in the confrontation between AMD and NVIDIA in this new generation. And it is that we have to keep in mind that the prices of RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 in the market are much higher. Something to which we must add that AMD confirms that the consumption-performance ratio is more optimal with its new generation than with NVIDIA.

These are the points that AMD highlighted in its new generation:

• AMD RDNA 3 architecture – Thanks to an advanced chip design that benefits from redesigned compute units and second-generation AMD Infinity Cache technology, the RDNA 3 architecture offers up to 54% more performance per watt than RDNA 2.
• Chiplet Design – The world’s first gaming GPU with a chiplet design provides up to 15% higher clock speed and up to 54% higher energy efficiency.
• Generation relief – AMD’s flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX offers significantly better 4K performance than the Radeon RX 6950 XT.
• DisplayPort 2.1 support – They are the only high-end gaming graphics cards that support DisplayPort 2.1 with UHBR 13.5. It will allow you to enjoy games in high resolution 4K (up to 480 Hz) or 8K (up to 165 Hz) on new generation displays.

Let’s recall the specifications of both AMD GPUs below:
