#GPU #AMD #RX7900GRE - Jak na to + styl
Sorry guys I made a mistake on the tensor count it shoudl be TMUs and 336 for the 7900 XT.
why even make ads for that overpriced af slow obsolete turds that can't run modern games on modern $200 bucks 1440p 165-180Hz monitors.
and they ask $500+ like these slow af in modern games GPUs still can print money. but mining is gone. all these should cost $200 max.
@@rawdez_you must be on a special kind of crack. 7900XT can easily run 4k ultra just fine. And the reason why modern games can't run at such high fps is because most games are much more gpu and cpu intensive. Games will only get harder to run. Older titles or more optomized newer titles can easily run at high fps.
@@malvinchau2056 no it can't. look FPS in new games with RT, not in obsolete old games, btw RT is an OLD 6 y.o. tech. 54fps in Hogwarts Legacy, 25fps in Alan Wake 2 @1440p. what 4k, you must be too high on shillium.

The Adrenalin software was updated last week that allows the VRAM to be clocked up to 3000Mhz.
AMD have announced that they are removing the overclocking limits on the 7900 GRE. So the memory speed issue should be revisited after that happens.
@@selohcin you don't have any patience 😂. Give them a chance. They have to test the driver multiple times to make sure they didn't break anything while fixing the memory overclock problem and make sure the driver is working right. That doesn't just happen overnight.

Love the Steel Legend, Asrock was smart bringing that to the GPU models as it's a great match for their mobos.
Might get that Steel Legend GRE! Great performance, good price and will match my Steel Legend motherboard!
I think you made a typo in the tensor cores, noticed at 10:51. More than 3000 cores on the 7900xt?! That's great 😅
Including some LLM benchmarks would be great as more of us are using their cards as for GPT/AI tasks (it's the new Crypto)
in my country they cost the exactly the same. bought 7900gre steel legend. thanks for review
@techyescity at the end where you compare the 7800xt and the 7900gre pricing in Australia, its probably better if you compare 2 nitro+ gpus rather than a nitro+ price versus the standard sapphire card. Once you compare the nitro+ versions of the 7800xt and the 7900gre the price difference is only $130 aud
I pulled the trigger on the 7900GRE . time to upgrade my 1080ti .
Man... I got the wrong 7900XT. Mine only has 336 TMUs.

Any 7900XT is the wrong GPU.
@@FlopFan69 it's better than 4070ti super and cost less
@@rd3munna812 until you turn on RT.
It's circumstances like this that could create the perfect timing for Battle Mage to be great. Similar to what I would call an Athlon moment.
It would be a short lived price to performance victory, but I'd be happy to see it.
You can get the RX7900 GRE Sapphire Pulse in a white aesthetic. I bought the black (non RGB) variant for my eldest daughter (it's was 10 % cheaper than the white one) and it arrived yesterday [price was just under $500 (CHF equivalent) delivered]. I UV'd it -50mV to start, max fans, and increased power to +7%. Didn't want to push it too hard...just a bit of a bump. Runs fine...temps ~67C at 20C ambient. To my recollection, FURMARK 1080P= just under 19K; 1440P=mid 15K. It was hanging with the RTX4070Ti (not the Ti super).
With used RTX3080's and 6900XT's going for over $400 locally, this new price for the GRE was very attractive...not to mention the 2 year warranty.
The white one is the pure, not a pulse. It's slightly higher clocked than the Pulse, thus being slightly more expensive.
@@Ashitaka0815 Did not know that. Thanks.
Thanks Bryan
In the UK i seen a retailer with the same aib shroud model of both priced £5 apart 😅
Once AMD "fix" the locked OC clocks and potentially unlock some more performance at stock maybe it'll be more interesting.
Still not an upgrade where anyone can find £400~ used 6900 xt

@@henriquewolff maybe but for me if the price it's low i go for it but since here the lower 6800xt second hand it's 450-500 and the 90e difference it's not only in performance but also it's new ,i have warranty and so on , of it was 250 definitely i would go for it
Where are u seeing rx 6900 xt cards for around £400, there was one that's close to that on Amazon for £420 then the rest that are used are closer to £470
I can only find them for about £500.
Tech yes city I’m curious what you undervolted the card too because from my experience it’s seems to me the card is already pushed with low voltage of 1050mv? So what is the mv setting that you used to undervolt?
2200mhz at 1000mv
I have this very card i got the undervolt down to 963 Mv, i found putting the memory at 2364 Mhz, core clock at 2601Mhz and power slider at stock got the best performance compared to pushing everything up and using around 40 watts less.

*I have some 20Gbps mem chips, left over from an other project. Do you think these will work on the 7900GRE ?* Or will the bios still f me ?
There's supposed to be a future update coming to unlock the memory speeds. My guess is that you'd still be forced to the lower speeds with the replacement memory
Possible to test the OC result of the 7900 gre once the "fix" is out? This should be really close to the 7900xt after overclocking + undervolting
Did see a benchmark of it despite the better stats than the 7800 xt the 256 bit bus limits the 7900 gre so even with a mem and core of it does gain 1 frame compared to previous overclocks
Just picked up a GRE at microcenter today. I gotta say that for 30 dollars more than the 7800xt it wasn't very hard to choose. I really wanted to go team green but my wallet didnt agree.
Ive heard that amd said the memory speed limits are a bug that will be fixed. Excited to see memory overclock preformance
They also said RDNA3 would be 15% faster than it is.

@@BlackJesus8463 AMD fixed the issue with Adrenalin 24.3.1 WHQL drivers, released 4 days ago.
thanks for the rx 6700 xt, I really wonder what that card can do in 2024
I looked at this card around release and the specs. It seems all right. Memory speed is less than the 7800XT but I guess it depends on the game performance wise. Problem is having a 7800XT and a 7900XTX all ready I couldn't justify picking it up but it will depend on price, the 7800XT vs 7900GRE what people should go for. Have the Gigabyte OC 7800XT from Avatar bundle, don't think any games are bundled into the current cards also (it's a nice perk but not neccessary I suppose). Last time I went AMD were during the Starfield and Avatar bundles though, it somewhat helps counteract the RT not being as there. Drivers have mostly been decent, weird WoW specific issue this last patch around 10.2 where have to run in DX11 mode (think it's on AMD's end) and Avatar I had some crashing around December. Overwatch, Think that got fixed with recent driver updates after the new feature AFMF.
reviews put 7900 gre 10% faster than the 7800 xt, even in its current meory error state
What did you do for the avatar crashes? My brother has an xtx and cannot play at all. Pure hope now Thanx
@@tommeegunn9318 Am on 24.2.1. I haven't played Avatar since December, no clue if the recent drivers work. This year I've mostly played working Palworld, WoW Wrath Classic and Retail, Hearthstone. Am finding that stable for my current needs. Haven't checked if Overwatch is back to playing fine again but have heard that was fixed recently.
I'm leaning towards AMD for my next card but the power consumption efficiency from NVidia is really good when energy bills are sky high in the UK.
Agreed, I'm from the UK and they are nuts and that was probably the only thing drawing to to Nvidia 40 series cards but I didn't want a 4060 because it only had 8GB vram so that left either 4060 Ti 16GB or 4070 which were both out of my budget (and somewhat overpriced!) so I just ended up going with the 6750 XT and under volting it. 6800 is pretty good for efficiency.
GRE with same power limit as 4070 is still better
@@iitzfizz under volting cards are pretty easy thankfully yeah. I am done with buying over priced luxury items in this economy. If it means I have to keep my 2060S longer I will. 1080p gaming and some 1440p is okay for now.
It doesn't matter in real life. A 7900 GRE uses 50W more than a 4070 Super? Who cares, that's like 10 cents more a month.
If you have an Intel CPU instead of a Ryzen CPU, you're offsetting the Lovelace efficiency by wasting 60-100W from the higher Intel CPU TDP.
It's completely a non issue either way.
@@ajax2.087 it's a irty it can't be done via bios editing anymore. I edited the bios for a few of my graphics cards bioses before to make them run faster , quieter and cooler but those were older Nvidia GPUs. I done it that way so that I wouldn't need to boot up software to tweak my GPU.
Also I've been under bolting my 5700XT since I got it about four years ago but the AMD software never saves my settings. It either puts the voltage back to 1200mv or sets the boost speed to 2123 MHz. I have to edit it every time I boot up my computer.
Asrock has always been a firm product for me, especially the Steel Legend series. I would grab the GRE, and cross my fingers for an update.
It's a bug and has been posted on Video Card"z" website since Feb 28th -->
AMD confirms limited OC of Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a bug, fix incoming...
I think AMD said something thing about fixing the overclocking on the GRE soon so it'd be interesting to see how much it can stretch its legs vs the 7800xt with higher memory and core clocks
AMD fixed the issue with Adrenalin 24.3.1 WHQL drivers, released 4 days ago.
13:43 hahahahaahahaha absolute gold Bro GG
Subtle, very subtle imagery. Lol
I am in the U.S. My RX 590 died, so i picked up a pulse gre. It has been a perfect card, quiet cool. Plus, at the time 7800xt pulse was 519.99 and the pulse gre was 549.99, so no brainer for 30 bucks :)
Gregarious! They can't keep I getting away with this!! D:
Nvidia is best at this kind pricing 😂😂😂😂😂
I heard that amd has said that not being able to boost memory speeds further is because of faulty software and should fix it soon
The 7800xt by itself is artificially limited, ditto for the 7900GRE. Still hoping that MorePowerTool will someday work on these cards.
This is why they called it 7900 GRE...it's not quite GREat.
My card same as yours true stable is 2376 memory which is 19gb s core 2700mhz 995mv +15 power limit. I can run higher on core or memory and go lower on mv but I get crashes in some games or randomly out of game
Bryan the Tensor I think they are mcu's count on 7900 GRE N31 in relation 7900XT N31 320 v 3336 (not a typo) subject sort this is what interested me. mb
Oh I just saw u'r correction 336 for 7900XT thanks. mb
So 7900GRE is a < 4 GB package dud in relation 7900XT 16 v 20? Seems to me a package dud AMD does this like with 3300 and 3100 and 8 v 6 core etc. mb
What about now ? it seems that the last drivers allow to overclock the card at 3000 mhz...
Yea am on an RTX3060TI paired with a Ryzen 7900x at the moment and am stuck between RTX 4070 super 7800xt and now the 7900GRE based in the uk power bills are mental here
7800xt and 7900GRE have almost the same power consumption so I would just get the GRE since it has better performance. Now the 4070 Super does draw about 60w less but I doubt it will make a significant difference in terms of power bills unless you’re using your GPU for like 5 hours a day.
Oh right that makes it easier to decide 🤔 haven't really enable ray tracing much either in most games
@@PlanetChaos22 Honestly I wouldn't really factor ray tracing into the decision as I imagine most games you play probably don't utilize it much. Now DLSS on the other hand is quite useful and generally looks nicer than AMD's FSR but that isn't to say FSR looks bad. You also get more VRAM and rastorization performance with the 7900GRE so you should consider that when weighing your options. But I wouldn't buy a 7800XT with current prices, its just too expensive at the moment and the 7900GRE or 4070 Super are better value.
RTX 4070 super
@@PlanetChaos22AMD cards, especially the 7000 series, idle power usage is higher than Nvidia, too. And nobody ever talks about input latency Reflex vs Antilag, where Reflex wins by a lot
For temperature, you should keep one parameter constant, either temp or preferably noise like Gamers Nexus does. Only then it makes sense to compare these.
Neeerrrrrrrddddddddd!
Don't I remember something about the limitations on memory speed being required to meet some kind of export restrictions to China?
Only 4090 exceed those restrictions
I'm buying a new GPU on Thursday week and I was aiming at a 7800XT upgrading from a 5700XT that I have with about four years.
I'm still on the fence for the 7900GRE though. I'm running my games on a 3440 x 1440 144Hz monitor.
I think in the long run the 7900GRE would be my choice because I want it to last about four to five years.
Also from what I've seen AMD might be updating the bios of the 7900GRE for better over locking. According to them it's a bug that the GPU doesn't over clock 😂
depending on what you're playing at that resolution you prob should be looking at 7900xt to start , esp if you want it to last 5 years
@@Haddley333 I would go for the 7900XT but it's a stretch too far and my R5 5600X would bottleneck the GPU.
I'm playing a mix of types of games. Like older games to games like star wars jedi survivor , dead space remastered , expeditions , Forza Motorsport 2023 etc.
get Hellhound model if Nitro plus is to expensive, the best cooler and Hynix vram on it
We don't yet know how far it could be overclocked if unlocked, or what that would mean for power consumption.
@@Safetytrousers it's already a power hungry beast a few watts more won't make much difference. Besides my 5700XT uses a fair bit of power too.
There a 2 fan asrock rx 7900 gre. Nv see any review. Must be very high temp for 2 fan card with 260-300w.
I like your youtube channel
I to have this but then the Sapphire Pulse version, i love it
I just fully paid off my 7900XTX. An Asus OC edition. Honestly, if someone had asked me ten years ago, what you should get. I would have said Intel and Nvidia. Now, I would easily suggest just getting all AMD. It's just a cheaper, wiser decision nowadays. They both have their drawbacks and plusses but at the end of the day, If the less desired card, that is $100 cheaper, is only 2-3 fps off from its high-end brethren, then why waste the money?
This GPU has been the most impressive GPU I have owned since the GTX1080Ti. I picked it up at £480 which is less than the 7800XT , way less than any of N'gimmickia GPUs and performs really well with the useless RT if you have the money to have the monitor and cpu you to back it. Mine is paired with a Ryzen 7600. When gaming I only stick around 1440p Ultra and this card is so smooth I have tried it in 4K for a few games and it is a clean transition.
What these graphs are not showing buyers is the real games players actually play on steam. There are so many top 20 games that do not support dlss or rt. Update we can overclock it now :)
I personally think warranty is important depend on where you live. I almost buy Sapphire 7800 XT around $560, but they only offer 2 years warranty that made me hesitated, then i find the Gigabyte 7800 XT and they offer 3 years warranty for the same price as the Sapphire.
Video cards are pretty resilient no?
@@N3mdraz maybe yes, maybe no. Electronics stuff is unpredictable.
Good point, if Sapphire are confident in thier product reliability, prove it with 3 yesr warranty.
Why I bought the XFX 7900gre and not the Sapphire
Except that Gigabyte customer service are awful and Sapphire have a reputation for really good customer service. Sapphire also literally make the reference cards for AMD, so their engineering is top notch. You may want to reconsider your decision.
Have Gigabyte 7800XT OC, it's been a good card, has both OC and silent modes. My 7900XTX is the XFX Merc 310. Sapphire Nitro seems to be their more premium line. I probably wouldn't spend the extra for the Pulse but would for the Nitro based off reviews etc. I would pick the Nitro over the Gigabyte had they been close in price. I bought around the Avatar game bundle the 7800XT, so pricing now might be a bit different now. I researched at the time of acquisition both the card and brand, try to get the best price performance, reliable card based off reviews and advice. My only problems this gen have been driver issues that would be gone with the next driver release.
Got my hopes up when I saw these were getting a global release but disappointed to see they are being overpriced here in Australia. Did wonder how AMD might fit this into the product stack when they are still commanding $800 for the 7800 XT (which is $100 too much in my view).
Whats so stupid is that both AMD and Nvidia are resorting to model naming confusion to trick the consumer on what is actually better when it isn't based on specs... When it comes to value proposition every company on earth has left that boat ever since inflation was on the rise and they tend to believe it's supposed to continue when the public knows that model isn't sustainable. A card like this should be at priced at roughly 400ish USD to give great value but margins matter at all costs at every level of the graphics card business it seems.
It's ultimately futile Because the more expensive are the product The more informed is the consumer
Margins are how companies exist. Luxury items are not charities.
@@Wobbothe3rd Earning a reasonable margin by being fair about informing consumers so they can buy the product they actually need is one thing. Using deliberate naming confusion to obfuscate the actual value proposition of part of a product stack to extract extra margin at the consumers' expense by selling them something different than what they're led to believe is not the same.
@@Wobbothe3rdI guess you'd like our food to be 500% higher so it can satisfy the sake of companies existencing. There is a limit of profit where it can hurt the public...

i have reference GRE , it's not really bad in terms of cooling - 1500rpm max and 75c core 88c hotspot . After undervolting 225w and 12c less on core and hotspot with still better than stock performance so for me good upgrade from GTX1080 :D
From my experience it's heavy memory limited - max oc i could do [ about + 400mhz and 280w ] gets me just 9% more performance than my undervolting settings for 55w more ! . But memory overclocking of just 100mhz [ max on the slider in adrenaline ] gives it about 5% uplift . Wonder what will be possible if /when amd unlocks overclocking limit on this gpu .
Interesting you got a reference card that's able to go to 2350, though I suspect with higher memory clocks matching that of a 7900 XT it would give out a whole lot more performance.

WOAH skippy, great video but you gotta slow down the charts sections a little bit, give us more than 3 seconds to try to take in what's being displayed on screen (1:50-3:00)
I appreciate the honesty, makes sense why they are selling it worldwide now, but it feels like to little too late, AMD needs to be MUSH more aggressive with their pricing structure now or nvidia will blow them out of the water for the rest of this generation at least. Which is a shame because it seemed for a while (especially the last 2 quarters of 2023) that AMD was really going to take market share back this gen.
Sad that all 3 GPU companies kinda suck but in much different ways. I'm waiting 'til 2025 to do any upgrades to my gaming PC neway.

You just addressed your concern over the fact it seems AMD is hobbling the 7900GRE. What CPU, GPU makers don't do this? It's been a part of the game for the entire industry and how architecture design coupled with binning is a way to slot a particular product into a price/performance slot in their offerings. Feigning surprise or even disappointment in an industry wide method of doing business in the hope of influencing those perhaps less informed is less than admirable.
look its better for $50 more... - Ive edited this, I bought one on a new AM5 build. a retail version at $549 Power colors Hell Hound. I put together a machine. with some new tech, this was shortest learning curve of the build. this GPU, like butter.
One thing I do not understand is that you are saying the 7900GRE has been nerfed, but at the same time you say you undervolt the card because it is being pushed too hard.
I would have loved to see the overclocked results.
Yeah I wouldn't undervolt the memory, he has it 1000mV @ 2200MHz. It would make sense if his reason was electricity costs or heat but he thinks they're all pushed too hard? They aren't gonna melt lol (excluding the 4090)
What do you use in your own gaming rig Bro? I own a 3090 but I'm looking at the XTX because its $400 cheaper than the 4080S variant I would buy.
Keep your 3090 till next generation 👍🏻
A 7900XTX would be a STEP DOWN from a 3090.
@@Wobbothe3rd Wouldn't say its a step down, the Asrock Taichi 7900XTX performs around 40% better than my card but I'll hold out and get a 5090 when it releases. I don't care about Ray Tracing or DLSS or FG I just want it for native 4k 144hz.
I can get the XTX on a good sale right now which is why I considered it.
@@Wobbothe3rd 7900 XTX trades blows with 4080 Super, what are you on about?
@@Wobbothe3rd Absolute nonsense. Stop making things up. How embarrassing.
The GRE should be destroying the 7800xt but that TDP limit is killing it.
The only reason i have to buy an AMD GPU over Nvidia is usually price. If I apply that logic to CPUs, then Intel is starting to give pretty good deals in that area. AM4 is still alive thanks to the X3D chips though. Which is where my next upgrade is looking to be.
Can you try the RTX 4080M that was converted to desktop? They're less than $500 usd shipped while supposedly perform like a 4070 TI after an OC.
Price isn’t good. Had they priced it at $500 so it maintains a $100 advantage vs the 4070super, it would have been decent. AMD hasn’t adjusted pricing despite the 7800xt and 4070 being within $20 of each other. Also, that asrock model costs just $10 less than a 4070 super here in canada so at that point, I might just opt for the 4070 super
I'm not interested in overclocking
Why no love for the 6800XT, 6900XT/6950XT 😢
3080ti vs 6800xt (50 dollar more for 3080ti) both used
The 6800xt
Hellhound has the best cooler for the money 7800 XT/79 GRE.
Most of these coolers won't fit my case(s). It would be cool if reviewers did a performance/size benchmark lol anything over a foot long is getting silly. I really miss the hybrid cards
I feel like pretty lot of cases even smaller factors are designed to fit the nowadays sized gpus, can fit 335mm quad slot into my SAMA IM01 but use triple slot instead so I can put some fans at the bottom. Also those tall ITX thingies can fit pretty long GPUs but yeah not the thickest ones...
In my opinion this card should have been the 7800xt that would have been a home run for AMD
Question of the day: How does this 7900 GRE affect RDNA 4 and its future release
It probably doesn't.
The 7900 XT is cheaper in Australia still...
Next amd driver will get the artificial restriction of the card or similar to the lhr card, someone will do it for amd
I've gone with both a 6950xt and now with a 7900xtx. AMD is great. no one could really change my mind at this point. Cost to performance is their mantra.
Unless you have a need for ray tracing. Then they get smashed.
@@BenStatethey also get smashed in input latency, Reflex vs Antilag
Sold my rx6800xt ;) warranty was by expiring.. aded 170$ bough new rx7900xt :) +15% fps boost :) with memomy overclocked :) stock was same as 6800xt ;)
i dont like asrock but that gpu looks really good
Have you ever owned an Asrock because i have and they were all good.
@@BlackJesus8463 They were once known for ultra budget.
@@BlackJesus8463i always avoided them because their motherboard quality leaves everything to be desired, rarely last longer than 5 years, every client i helped with one, ended buying another computer thanks to it, and sadly i didnt sold those new ones
now that they sell gpus i read a couple comments mentioning similar situations
most youtubers i watch stopped reviewing their stuff
only bryan still does one or two mobos and gpus per year, but rarely does part hunts that have a asrock part in them

$950aud for GRE or $1150aud for 7900xt. 7900xt seems like the better option. Pricing is wack
Why not just spend $200AUD more for the 7900xt?
my brother has the amd rx 7900xtx and is very upset about it... he has alot of problems with many games :/
My issues were mostly Avatar and WoW (though my 7800XT has the same issue the 7900XTX has, only DX11 works since 10.2 hit). Starfield at launch ran fine on the XTX (didn't like the game but it looked nice detail-wise).
*a lot
"alot" isn't a word
How durable do these card look? It was either this or rx 4070. 4070s isn't an option as my old psu doesn't support it..
does DLSS with AI learning really worth more (present and the future) than AMD FSR?
Both are meaningless to me since I only play online, depends on your use case I guess.
4070s and 4070 are like 20w apart ~220w vs ~200w, 7900gre pulls ~290w. DLSS currently is much better than FSR, FSR might improve because AMD are working on their AI upscaling. They all supposed to be durable.
it's an amd card, the bios will be unlocked within a couple months
We don't yet know how far it could be overclocked if unlocked, or what that would mean for power consumption.
If the power draw were lower I'd return my 4080 and get a 7900 lol
6:48 a billion dollar company doesn't care about you, that is a given.
thought Displayport was better than HDMI
It is. Has much higher bandwidth (to support higher refresh rates up to 240Hz) but many TVs do not have DP input so HDMI 2.1 is the answer (@120Hz).
Guys I got the spahire pulse 7800xt. Just noticed its 2 fans gpu, will it perform wors then some other 7800xt with 3 fans ?😮
No. I've had that card and it runs great and pretty cool. Just set a custom fan curve so that it doesn't overdo things and you'll be fine. Use the latest AMD drivers as well, as they seem to be pretty stable for the 7800 XT and above. That model of the card is actually a really good one, especially for the price.
@@ObakuZenCenter oh thanks alot for the answer. I happy now 😀
Not unless you are trying to do heavy overclocking while maintain low noise.
@@kevinerbs2778 Just cesual gaming. Tnx
10% better for 10% more
rt isnt a point to buy a gpu !!! amd is just a raw power for great overall performance, and off course are the gpus for performance per buck !!! and with a great undervolt this gpus just rocking !!!!
What about flashing 7800xt bios on to gre?
Why would you flash this card with the VBIOS for a card that's lower specced?
With 7800xt, 7900xt/xtx vram chips are from Hynix or Samsung. Hynix chips have at least 10% extra bandwith with oc, Samsung chips much less so iwith7900GRE most likely its the same thing. I think they just sticked the cheapest chips they had in stock and thats that. They screwed GRE bcs even if core is overclocking like crazy it will still be limited by bandwidth in many games. Maybe some more fansy AIB models with higher power limit have better vram on them, i dont know.. Still i think its a great gpu for 550$ and no brainer for pure gamers..
Why the hell this card cost 680$ in India
Is this worth upgrading from a Asus RTX 4070 OC edition?
Ofc not. Wait for the next generation of graphic cards if you already have a 4070
Def no
@@MadridistaFrierenHonestly people upgrade this often allows them to hike the price.
The 7900 GRE does out perform the 4070, including with overclocks. However, at it's present price it's probably not worth it just yet. If you do want a more cost efficient upgrade, then consider waiting for the 7900 XT cards to come down in price to about $650, which should be within the next couple of months.
7900XT/XTX might be more worth it, larger bus, more memory etc. GRE would be a minor improvement likely over the 4070 OC, likely not enough to be worth doing.
900 dollarydoos!?
