  • AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GRE slots neatly between the RX 7900 XT and RX 7800 XT in terms of performance. But here's the kicker-it's now available worldwide! Originally a China-exclusive limited edition, the Golden Rabbit Edition (GRE) celebrates the Chinese year of the rabbit. AMD wasn't about to let NVIDIA steal the spotlight, especially after their January 2024 refresh with the RTX 40-series. The RX 7900 GRE is here to deliver good performance at competitive pricing. We're making a detailed comparison of six cards from highly popular vendors, to find out which one is the best.

    I was hoping to see how the PowerColor Fighter version of the 7900 GRE ranks. It seems to be one of the two GREs that will fit in the new DeepCool CH160 itx case.

      I mean you can probably overclock any GRE to perform almost like a 7900XT, but then you could also overclock the 7900XT too, so I wouldn't think the performance difference as a percentage would really change much.

      We haven't tested the XFX variants yet, but based on the 7800 XT it should be a bit better than the Pulse though you may benefit from tuning the fan curve czcams.com/video/qNtX4rByAKg/video.html

    Building a new pc for myself, mostly gaming, productivity, and maybe a little dabbling into Game Development.
    I am getting Base 4070 (Zotac Trinity) and 7900 GRE (Sapphire Pulse) for similar prices. ~$650/-
    With Nvidia, I'll have better ray tracing and DLSS performance but with AMD I will have a faster GPU and 4GBs of extra VRAM.
    Which one to choose?
    PS: I am pairing it with the i5 14500.

    • @TheToeSlayerOfJohns

    • @gt1man931
      @gt1man931 Před 15 dny

      The 4070 series isn't any RT powerhouse, being brought to its knees in any of the titles that have much RT to speak of, and that isn't what these two GPUs are for, no matter what anyone might try to tell you. As far as upscaling, one is ugly, the other one is a little uglier.
      If you are looking for real RT performance you are in the wrong $ bracket. You will need to spend almost double the money.

    Where's XFX? You can't do a Radeon roundup without all three members of Radeon's Holy Trinity and that means Powercolor, Sapphire and XFX. ASRock WOULD have been added to make a Holy Quartet but they lose that honour because they also make ARC cards. I say this as the owner of an ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming OC so I'm not being biased.
    ASUS and Gigabyte also make GeForce cards so they're just... meh. As for MSi... who cares?
    The brands of video cards that I flatly refuse to buy:
    MSi, EVGA, Palit, Zotac, Colorful, ASUS, PNY, Inno3D and Gainward.
    Anything else is just fine.
