PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Pictured, Confirmed Based on "Navi 32"
PowerColor inadvertently released the first pictures of its AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Red Devil graphics card. These pictures confirm that the RX 7800 XT is based on a maxed out version of the "Navi 32" GPU, and not the compact "Navi 31" powering the limited edition RX 7900 GRE. The "Navi 32" is a chiplet-based GPU, just like the "Navi 31," albeit smaller. Its 5 nm GCD (graphics compute die) physically features 60 RDNA3 compute units, which work out to 3,840 stream processors, 120 AI accelerators, 60 Ray accelerators, 192 TMUs, and possibly 128 ROPs. This GCD is surrounded by four 6 nm MCDs (memory cache dies), which each has a 16 MB segment of the GPU's 64 MB Infinity Cache memory, and make up its 256-bit GDDR6 memory interface.
The specs sheet put out by PowerColor confirms that the RX 7800 XT maxes out the "Navi 32," enabling all 60 CUs, and the chip's full 256-bit memory interface, to drive 16 GB of memory. The RX 7800 XT uses 18 Gbps memory speed, and hence has 576 GB/s of memory bandwidth at its disposal. The PowerColor RX 7800 XT Red Devil has dual-BIOS, and assuming the "standard/silent" BIOS runs the card at AMD reference clock speeds, we're looking at Game clocks of 2210 MHz, and 2565 MHz boost. The Red Devil draws power from a dual 8-pin PCIe power connector set up (375 W max); the cooler is visibly smaller than the one on the company's RX 7900 series Red Devil cards. A 16+2 phase VRM powers the card. With pictures of the card out, we expect a global product launch within the next 30 days.

The funniest thing is Steve from HuB telling them the 7900XT was getting a bad review due to pricing and they were shocked. :laugh:
The safer bet is a 6800XT/6950XT for the same performance with a more mature driver set.
Reckon we'll see $499.......6 months after we should have.
As far as pricing goes, I think they'll attempt to undercut the 4070 Ti by $50 to $100, so 699-749 for MSRP, street price a little lower. At $749, it's already $150 lower MSRP v. the 7900 XT, so sounds about what they would position the card right under it. At $499... it's all this card would be worth in my eyes.
It’s also my hobby. Love to be able to experience the latest in hardware. I’ve wanted a 7000 series card since launch. If I’d been able to get an XTX right away I probably wouldn’t have bought the 4090.
Although, the power color's red devil would have been my card to buy. Love the devils.
N32 looks to be around 6800 XT on paper. So it must be priced lower than the going 6800 XT price which has been under $500 but is now about $530.
if i get a better paying job someday, my next gpu might be the rtx 5090 when it comes out in about 3 years. the next step up for me will be 4k 32" 240hz OLED, which comes out next year, but no point in buying that until the rtx 5090 is out. so yeah, im set for a few years at least with my current setup, maybe even 6 years honestly, this is more power than I need at 1440p if I am honest with myself, and I doubt I can afford that super high end even in 3 years anyway. lol
going to be playing starfield on launch day, going to hook my 2.1 400w THX speakers up to my modi 3 dac, and crank it loud, so the space shuttle sound makes me feel like on the Dragon Rocket!I understand all of that, makes sense. I can't talk, I have a bad habit of selling every new generation, it is an expensive hobby, and I need to stop. I honestly love my current rig so much, I think I am ready to stop and just semi-retire for a solid 5 years. I am super impressed with the quality of my XFX Merc gpu.
Both NVidia and AMD alike seem A'OK with this entire generation having lacklustre sales, as long as it normalises the pricing (both outright and the structure). Where top end products command ever higher price tags, and lower down the line up doesn't really net you much more, if any more, value - like it used to.
And IDK about $500. This GPU is pure garbage for this money. Should be $400 at most.
