PowerColor & Sapphire Launch Custom Radeon RX 7900 GRE Cards

[T0@st]

PowerColor has today revealed the Red Devil Radeon RX 7900 GRE 16 GB graphics card, which appears to look like a slimmer version of its existing siblings—the more powerful Red Devil RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX. We have experienced a steady flow of news relating to AMD's new Golden Rabbit Edition GPU—with benchmark results released by review outlets in China, as well as a closer look at an unshrouded example. It was previously reported that Team Red would not be producing a reference model—VideoCardz now believes that XFX will be announcing itself as the primary manufacturing partner for said card.

Sapphire's custom equivalent was leaked earlier this week—a NITRO+ Lite-esque shroud design was unboxed and photographed ahead of today's official reveal. At the time of writing Sapphire has not published a product page for its brand new RX 7900 GRE model, but retail units are available to buy from their official store on JD.com. This NITRO+ variant is going for 5499 RMB (~$769), roughly $27 on top of AMD's official MSRP. PowerColor has not announced any pricing for the Red Devil RX 7900 GRE, but it has the same clock speeds—2050 MHz (game) & 2395 MHz (boost)—as the NITRO+. VideoCardz stated that these factory produced settings: "likely represent the highest configuration suggested by AMD."

Like other 7900 series Red Devil and Nitro are these going to vanish from retail channel couple of months down the line?

Not sure if you're in the US but the 7900 XTX Red Devil and Nitro+ are available on Amazon US, with one-day shipping to my area and its already 6+ months since they were launched.

The GRE is most likely a 6700 non XT type deal, they get rid of a bunch of rejects bins and thats it.
Which how good TSMC's yields are I doubt there will be a lot of rejects.

If 7900 Gigačad Running Again edition is little bit better than 4070 ti, does it mean 7800 xt will be weaker or 1 on 1 with 4070 ti? Sadge.

There are articles online (tom's, etc) that it's not just binning, but a number of actual changes including die size (with some speculation on why that might be, as that's not what anyone expected), mem bandwidth, etc. It appears to be a new (weaker, obv) derivative, and some speculate lower bins of this chip might be for the missing midrange cards...we'll see!

The Navi31 GCD is still the same, but there is a variant using the Navi32 sized package.

I was looking for XT Red Devil and Nitro+ both of which seem to have vanished from Newegg(1st party listing, there seem to plenty from 3rd party sellers are quite inflated prices). Even in India locally they are quite hard to find. Also I havent seen performance numbers for photo stacking software I use so unsure whether to go for AMD or nVidia GPU as upgrade(while software has built-in benchmark but results for that are all over the place).

It cannot be a reject die at all. Techpowerup has shown it's totally different die size to normal N31. It's a custom die not one with disabled elements.

Ahh I see. Yeah, I'm not sure about India and other parts of Asia, but here in the US they seem to be readily available.

What photo stacking software do you use? I have multiple GPUs for different purposes so I might be able to test for you within a VM or even on a host install if the software isn't bulky.

Thanks for help I use Helicon Focus for focus stacking, instal base is barely 120MBs in size and it does have a trial version(not sure if benchmark would be available in trial mode). From their website based numbers(linked above) it seems like while the software scales with GPUs(currently no Radeon 7000s on database and last gen 6800XT is on top) from thread count it seems like CPUs are acting wierdly.
