AMD unveils Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT

During Gamescom 2023, AMD unveiled two graphics cards tailored to the mainstream gaming market: the Radeon RX 7800 XT and the Radeon RX 7700 XT. These cards are both designed to consistently deliver 60fps at 1440P resolution. Concurrently, AMD introduced the new FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) upscaling technology, which boasts the AMD Fluid Motion Frame feature to enhance frame rate performance, rivaling the effects of NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 without the need for specialized deep learning hardware.

The recommended retail price for the Radeon RX 7800 XT is set at $499, while the Radeon RX 7700 XT is priced at $449. Both cards are scheduled for release on September 6th, with OEM products being launched by manufacturers such as ASUS, ASRock, Biostar, and Gigabyte.

With the release of these two graphics cards, AMD aims to compete with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 and GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, delivering stable gaming visuals at 1440P and 60fps. Through the RDNA 3 architecture and increased memory capacity combined with the new FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 technology, frame rates are elevated using the Fluid Motion Frame feature.

Launching the Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT signifies AMD’s intention to further bridge the gap in their current product line, ensuring the complete availability of the Radeon RX 7000 series.

In terms of specifications, both cards employ the RDNA 3 architecture. They also feature DisplayPort 2.1 standards. The Radeon RX 7800 XT boasts 60 compute units (CUs), while the Radeon RX 7700 XT has 54 CUs. Each CU is equipped with a real-time ray tracing accelerator and two artificial intelligence computation accelerators.

The Radeon RX 7800 XT is outfitted with 16GB of memory with a 256-bit interface, whereas the Radeon RX 7700 XT offers 12GB with a 192-bit interface. As for power consumption, the Radeon RX 7800 XT is designed for 263W, and the Radeon RX 7700 XT is set at 245W.

The new FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 technology emphasizes the AMD Fluid Motion Frame feature for heightened frame rate performance. It highlights the ability to achieve NVIDIA DLSS 3-like frame rate corrections without specialized deep-learning hardware. Additionally, this revamped technology introduces native anti-aliasing (Native AA), further enhancing visual detail.

Furthermore, AMD noted that their previous FidelityFX Super Resolution and FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 technologies have been integrated or are slated for integration in over 300 game titles. The forthcoming FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 is also expected to captivate more game developers.

This advanced technology will first be incorporated into the games “Immortals of Aveum” and “Forspoken.” Upcoming integrations include titles such as “Cyberpunk 2077” and “Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.” Moreover, prominent game developers like Square Enix, Ubisoft, SEGA, and CD PROJEKT RED are set to harness this technology for their game content.
