AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT Confirmed with 192-bit Memory Bus in ASRock Regulatory Leak
AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is confirmed to feature 12 GB as its standard memory size, and feature a 192-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, according to a leaked regulatory filing by ASRock for its upcoming graphics cards. We already know from last week's mega leak of the PowerColor RX 7800 XT Red Devil that the card maxes out the "Navi 32" silicon, enabling all 60 RDNA3 CU, and comes with 16 GB of memory across the chip's full 256-bit memory bus. This filing suggests how AMD will carve the RX 7700 XT out.
Probably designed to compete with the GeForce RTX 4070, the RX 7700 XT is based on the same "Navi 32" silicon as the RX 7800 XT, but cut down. AMD is expected to disable some of the 60 CU physically present on the 5 nm GCD, while one of the four 6 nm MCDs will be disabled, giving the chip a 192-bit memory bus to drive its 12 GB of memory. We know from the PowerColor leak that the RX 7800 XT gets 18 Gbps memory speed. It remains to be seen if AMD sticks with this speed for even the RX 7700 XT, in which case, it gets 432 GB/s of memory bandwidth at its disposal. AMD is expected to launch the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT within this quarter (before October).

Not to mention Nvidia's Ultra Low Latency because of AMD's Anti-Lag, making GSync available to every variable refresh rate monitor because of FreeSync, Nvidia's Image Scaling because of AMD's Radeon Super Resolution. FAR from "they do not care"
A 50$ reduction in price by AMD is nothing for Nvidia because they know the majority of people with pay extra 50$ to get a better product.
nvidia doesn't compete by lowering the prices - it competes by brainwashing the customers that these have no choice.Why now? Better wait for Radeon RX 8700 XT in 2-3 years time.
Seriously, not only the moore's law is long dead and buried, but if these pitiful rebrands masked as "new releases" go on, sooner or later the graphics market will also be dead.
Simply because there will be very few people who would need to upgrade (there will be nothing to upgrade with) or need replacement cards.
Nvidia basically charges a 20% premium for their products because they are just better. DLSS/FG/Reflex/Better RT and even better drivers.
With the launch of AMD’s new flagship Radeon R9 290X only a couple of days behind us, NVIDIA has wasted surprisingly little time in responding the latest salvo in the unending GPU wars. Intended to coincide with the launch of NVIDIA’s holiday GeForce game bundle, the launch of ShadowPlay (more on that later today), and the final (non-beta) release of GameStream, NVIDIA has rounded out their Monday by announcing a pair of price cuts for their high-end consumer video cards, and set a launch date and a launch price for their recently announced GTX 780 Ti. First and foremost, both GeForce GTX 780 and GeForce GTX 770 are getting price cuts, effective tomorrow (October 29th). GTX 780 will be reduced by $150 to $499, and meanwhile GTX 770 will be getting smaller $70 trim, bringing the price of that card down to $329. For the GTX 770 this is something of a delayed price cut – AMD launched their competitive Radeon R9 280X just shy of 3 weeks ago – but as the saying goes it’s never too late. Between the two GTX 770 is about 5% faster while 280X has the 3GB memory advantage, so $329 won’t significantly threaten the 280X but it is where we would have expected NVIDIA to place it given their performance advantage.
Users can safely upgrade their RTX 3090s with new RTX 4090. Because the performance difference is substantial:
7800 XT on the other hand is getting a decrease 4608 to 3840 shading units and supposedly keeping the same performance lowering the price.
The 6700 XT is notably core-shy compared to the rest of AMD's 6000 stack when you compare to memory capacity/bandwidth. It really should have 2816 to 3072 cores, even with the lower ROP count. However at least it's price in line with it's lower performance so I guess that's ok??
