ASUS Intros Radeon RX 7900 GRE DUAL OC and TUF Gaming Graphics Cards

[btarunr]

ASUS today introduced its custom design Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics cards for a wider product launch outside China. These include the RX 7900 GRE DUAL OC, and the TUF Gaming RX 7900 GRE OC. Given the nearly identical 260 W total board power (TBP) and ASIC pin-map of the RX 7900 GRE to the RX 7800 XT, ASUS appears to be reusing its RX 7800 XT custom-design board designs for these cards. The RX 7900 GRE DUAL OC features a 27.9 cm length, triple-slot thickness, and 13.39 cm height, and uses an aluminium fin-stack heatsink with two 100 mm Axial Tech fans—hence the name. There is no RGB lighting or other such frills to speak of, but you get dual-BIOS. The default P-BIOS runs the card at factory-overclocked 1927 MHz Game clock (vs. 1880 MHz reference); while the quieter Q-BIOS runs it at reference speeds, with a more tame fan profile.

The TUF Gaming RX 7900 GRE features the same version of the company's DirectCU III TUF Gaming cooling solution that the company uses with its RX 7800 XT TUF Gaming product, it's 31.9 cm in length, 3-slot thick, and 15 cm tall (about a 1 cm added due to the stub toward the tail-end). The cooler features a trio of 100 mm Axial Tech fans, and as is characteristic of TUF Gaming cooler designs, is well ventilated, exposing more of the heatsink underneath; than competing cooling solutions. You get a minimal amount of RGB lighting, in the form of a diffuser near the tail-end. You also get dual-BIOS, and a more pronounced factory OC than the DUAL OC card, with the P-BIOS enabling 1972 MHz Game clocks. The Q-BIOS again sticks to reference clocks for quieter fan settings. ASUS didn't release pricing, but given that both are factory-overclocked cards, we expect the RX 7900 GRE DUAL OC to be priced around the $570-mark; and the TUF Gaming OC at $600, if not more.

Except for Sapphire it seems like the 7900 GRE is unwanted step child as none have their "Flagship" SKU on offer(Red Devil, Aorus ultra, ROG Strix, etc..).

Well, it was released yesterday (on the global market), maybe those premium models arrive later from other manufacturers?

Though on the other hand, I see it pretty stupid since something like a Strix card would probably cost the same as the cheapest 7900 XT cards.

There is no ROG Strix of the XT or XTX. Aorus ultra also doesn't exist, it's either the Aorus Master (Nvidia) or Aorus Elite (AMD). Same applies to SUPRIM actually, Nvidia only.

But ROG Strix version of 7600 exists so its quite quite a head scratcher(also it might be possible GPP is still alive with only lower end card being allowed to have these higher end SKUs).

It exists... Reutilizing the 6000-series cooler.
