AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT Reference Design Pictured
AMD, in a now-deleted tweet, revealed what it is probably going to announce later today—the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT desktop graphics cards. The company briefly tweeted the marketing flier for these cards, before deleting it, but not before VideoCardz saved a copy. This flier confirms the SKU names RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT up for launch; and gives us two images of the Made by AMD (reference design) graphics card. It appears like AMD is using a common board design for both SKUs.
The reference Radeon RX 7800 XT appears to be a slightly shrunk down version of the RX 7900 XT reference. The dual-slot card comes with two axial-flow fans instead of three on the RX 7900 XT. The card draws power from two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. Earlier this month, a leak by PowerColor spilled the beans on the RX 7800 XT being based on the "Navi 32" silicon. A chiplet-based GPU just like the "Navi 31" powering the RX 7900 series; the Navi 32 is maxed out by the RX 7800 XT, and packs 3,840 stream processors, 120 AI accelerators, 60 Ray accelerators, 64 MB of Infinity Cache memory, and a 256-bit GDDR6 memory interface, which holds 16 GB of memory on the RX 7800 XT. Specs of the RX 7700 XT remain under the wraps.

My reference 7900XT reached 100C hotspot too when overclocked on a hot day, isn't that big of a deal.
Also your reference 7900 XT shouldn't be hitting 100C hotspot at all unless you have really bad airflow in your PC case. I know the earlier MBA 7900 XTX had a faulty HSF that had this problem (mine does not have this as it seems to be the newer revision post-April), but I never heard of the MBA 7900 XTs having a hotspot problem.
my 7900 xt has been rock solid for me, just can't really use the OC bios mode unless you set fan speed at unreasonably loud levels. on default bios its the coldest 7900 xt there is though, my temps match the guru3d review of same exact model that i have on default bios as well as the scores. with a mild/medium oc it matches a 7900 xtx in many games i have tested. pretty happy with it.
So even if the final price was taking in consideration all the above reasons, even the non logical, people would invent 10 more reasons to go with an Nvidia card. Even a slower, more expensive Nvidia model instead of buying an AMD one.I would expect a price close to current 6800 XT with a minor premium for the 7800 XT, so $529-$549 and a higher price than the current price for the 6750 XT, meaning $399 for the 7700XT.
The fun part will be AMD avoiding comparing these new GPUs with RDNA2 models, but choosing to compare with RTX 4060 Tis, 7700XT against the 8GB Nvidia model and 7800 XT against the 16GB Nvidia model.
but with default bios and no oc, it never breaks 75 celsius on hotpsot in same demanding games.
pretty good card over reference model. but yeah, I do envy Nvidia for its cold temps. overall pretty happy with my card though
Glad I jumped on rDNA2.
I think AMD run out of ideas, everything they do is wrong these days.
Radeon RX 7800 XT with its 3840 shaders is actually a downgrade from RX 6800 XT with as many as 4608 shaders - this is 768 shaders LESS and almost 20% LESS.
Radeon RX 7700 XT with its miserable 12 GB VRAM is also not good enough, no matter how much they beefed the specs elsewhere.
Both cards should be DOA as we speak
I'm not saying it's the end of the world, just that AIB 6750 XTs can do a lot better.That's what I mean. The reference 6750 XT reaches 100 °C at stock (with no overclock).Everybody seems to be hung up on the fact that AMD is a distant second, but that doesn't mean they're not making a profit. It's a smaller company than Nvidia, after all. Dominating a market isn't everything.
And... if AMD is a smaller company, why does it try to compete on many more fronts than nvidia - CPUs, consoles, etc.?
