Acer Regulatory Filings Reveal Radeon RX 7900, RX 7800, and RX 7700 non-XT GPUs

[btarunr]

Regulatory filings by PC OEM major Acer, with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), drop some of the first references to three upcoming performance-segment graphics card SKUs by AMD. These include the Radeon RX 7900, the Radeon RX 7800, and the Radeon RX 7700. Acer is an AMD Radeon add-in board partner under its Acer Predator brand, which makes graphics cards not just for Predator and Nitro gaming PCs, but also graphics cards for the retail channel.

At this point, there are no specs known for the three, not even their memory sizes. It would be interesting to see how AMD slots the three into its product stack, particularly the RX 7900. The company currently has three RX 7900 series SKUs—the flagship RX 7900 XTX, and the second-best RX 7900 XT, but then the SKU next to this is the RX 7900 GRE, which saw a worldwide launch. Then there are the RX 7800 and RX 7700, which are pretty straightforward to predict. The RX 7800 will slot in between the RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT, and will probably feature a 256-bit wide memory interface with 16 GB of memory, much like the RX 7800 XT; whereas the RX 7700 will be positioned below the RX 7700 XT. It wouldn't surprise us if AMD further cuts down the memory interface to 160-bit (10 GB).

Well I hope the RX 7800 is faster than the RX 6800, the 7800XT being broadly equal (and sometimes worse) than the 6800XT wasn't a great look. Having said that, all can be forgiven with price.

I think at this point we’ve seen so many of these EEC filings that never actually materialized into anything that it’s not really a worthwhile source of information. But, eh, good to know anyway. Might be some OEM models for pre-builts only.

Agreed.

AMD is dropping the ball here. These video cards which IMHO are nothing but chips that did not pas quality control (or cut down to get rid of them) are being made so they can make... mo mo mo money without much overhead involved.

They are just milking for whatever they can get on the XT series because these should have been out a long time ago.

The 7800 XT is not a bad card, just one with a bad name. It should have been called the 7700 XT, while the 7700 XT should have been the non-XT from the start. Navi 32 is in no way a Navi 21 successor.

Personally, I'd like to hear more about RDNA 4, but AMD seems to be awfully quiet about it.

Yeah, these would have been good on release.

Just imagine if you could flash these to get the XT model, just like the old days.

If people found out they probably would have sold quite a few more as everybody likes getting something extra for free!

Agreed, the card itself is absolutely fine, it just has a poorly chosen name, and perhaps launch price, but still the name being bad is a blunder they could have easily averted.

Reminds me the fumble with the 6500XT name too, where when it launched it didn't meet the expectations that the name would bring, based on RDNA2 cards that launched before it.

Plenty of room for RX 7900, but hardly any for RX 7800 I think.
Get RDNA 4 ready faster plz
