PowerColor Teases Upcoming RX 7800/7700 XT Hellhound and Fighter Ahead of Launch

[GFreeman]

PowerColor has released a couple of new teasers for the upcoming Radeon RX 7800/RX 7700 XT launch that is said to be scheduled for August 25th. According to these new teasers, it appears that PowerColor will be introducing both Hellhound and Fighter series versions, in addition to the Red Devil that leaked earlier this month.

PowerColor released two new teasers, one on Twitter and one on Facebook, showing different sides of new graphics cards, and while it did not reveal any specific details, it is obvious that we are looking at the upcoming Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT versions that will be a part of its Hellhound and Fighter series. Unlike the earlier revealed Red Devil version, Hellhound is a bit toned down, but still should come with a decent factory-overclock. So far, PowerColor is teasing only the black version, and it is not clear if we will see the white Hellhound Spectral version. The Fighter series is usually the budget-oriented series, launching at MSRP, so it will be interesting to see how many SKUs PowerColor will announce on August 25th.

yep, that looks like a gpu for sure

Better late than never i guess ha!

Great, we'll be able to play Immortals of Aveum @30fps low quality on a 1600x900 monitor. Well, if you rock a Ryzen 3D CPU on a good day that is.

As stated previously I said that the reasons why AMD went with the chiplet design is because of better yields on Silicon wafers at the expense of lag.
I have also stated AMD (and most likely other corporations) are using defective chiplets for their lower based products. Essentially this is not an overall bad thing as companies can make a profit on what could be thrown away.

However IMHO what AMD is doing is complete BullSh!t.
1. They are created in mind to shore up prices of the 7900 XT/XTX
2. They were created in mind to use up what defective chiplets that they came off of the 7900 series of GPU chiplets.
3. They continue to crank up the speed of these things to get the specs they are posting. This however means increase degradation of the video card in question.

Why do you think I undervolt my video cards? To keep them running efficiently for longer time periods with great performance all things considered.

4. AMD drank the cool aid and are vying for the AI bubble.
5. AMD has lost touch on how bad things are in the rest of the world economically.
6. They waited to have enough defective 7900 series GPU to create the RX 7800/7700 XT.
7. IMHO AMD is extremely Top heavy with a great deal of overhead. If you look at their recent financials you will understand why I will not invest into that company.

This is a very hard pass for me. IMHO, You are wasting your money on IMHO sub par/equal performance over last years Video Cards.

Here is the video commenting on the use of defective CPU's to make the AMD 5600X3D. Enjoy.

I think the assumption that AMD simply hasnt released these cards sooner because they would compete with their own unsold RX6000 series is far more likely.

Here's to wishing that the RX 7700 XT would be around $400, just like its grandfather (RX 5700 XT). I wonder if they would release a MBA version with the current 7000-series shroud design.

I think these were designed in a time when something with the performance level of 6700 XT was selling for $800. Those days are long past and now they have a bunch of chips that they payed too much for and are looking for any ways they can to turn them into profitable products.

Aren't Navi 32 and 33 monolithic dies? And, if so, how do you harvest chiplets for a single die gpu?

 

[HD64G]

Navi 32 is different than Navi 31, so harvesting dies from the latter was only for the 7900GRE. The 7800/7700 is a new and much smaller chiplet-based die that delayed in order for the stock of previous gen is almost depleted. And it is absolutely normal that the new midrange will compete with the previous high-end (6800XT/6800) for close to the street price of those while being more efficient. We are to know the prices later today. If they are what we think (500-550 for the full die and 400-450 for the cut-down one) then they will be good value GPUs.

I don't get these teasers.

"We're gonna release something soon."
You don't say?

Everyone is using defective dies for other products.

 

[ARF]

Aren't Navi 32 and 33 monolithic dies?

Navi 33 is monolithic but Navi 32 is not.
Navi 33 is built on the older 6nm/7nm process. Not the new 4nm/5nm. And not on 3nm.

Better AMD Radeon, than anything nvidia's

 

[be8k]

well, Im highly doubt that AMD gonna do it the easy way for all of us, which as someone confidently enough said as 550-500 7800xt / 450-400 7700xt. Be prepare for the worst to come.

 

[Ruru]

Wonder that does the Fighter's cooler suck as much as it did in 6700 XT.

Everyone is using defective dies for other products.

Exactly. That's been done for decades in different types of chips. One early example is 486SX which was a DX with a disabled FPU.
