The RX 7900 GRE as of 20/03/2024 - Not such a flawed product?

This GPU is apparently getting a wider retail release later this year:

AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE shows up in UK on DIY market, reportedly coming to the U.S. as well - VideoCardz.com

AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE coming to more countries The company might have understood the potential of their high-end SKU. AMD and its partners are expanding the availability of the RX 7900 GRE, also known as the Golden Rabbit Edition. Initially designed as an exclusive GPU for the Chinese market...

AMD seems to want to sell these for £600+ in the UK, which is a shame for anyone hoping to get a cheaper RX 7900 XT...

On paper at least, I think the GRE could be a good product, but really only if it had the same GPU and memory clocks as the RX 7800 XT, to make sure it will always beat it in performance...

It has the same compute unit count as the RX 6900 XT /RX 6950 XT as well (80), 20 more than the RX 7800 XT.

Pointless card.

It's an odd graphics card, the GPU clocks can be about as high as the RX 7800 XT, but the memory clocks (and resulting memory bandwidth) are a bit lower:

PowerColor Red Devil RX 7900 GRE Specs

AMD Navi 31, 2391 MHz, 5120 Cores, 320 TMUs, 160 ROPs, 16384 MB GDDR6, 2250 MHz, 256 bit

I wonder why AMD decided against combining these cards with the higher speed GDDR6?

It looks like they wanted to ensure a performance gap between this and the RX 7900 XT.

according to tech power up it’s 14% faster than the 7800xt. I suspect they are using up dies that they cannot use for the 7900xt

They should do a proper rerelease, combine it with the full speed GDDR6 VRAM, and clock it at ~2400 Mhz.

Just simply call it the 'RX 7900'.
 
While I prefer the overall experience of AMD hardware + software they do tend to make some weird or comical decisions sometimes. The 7900 GRE is one of them. Not because of the specs but because of the name! :D
 
It was only initially for the Chinese Market, 2023 was the year of the rabbit hence the weird name, which probably make more sense over there than it does here.

Should just drop the 'gre' from the name. According to some benchmarks it's basically a 6950 in performance terms, sometimes a little under that.
 
AMD doesn't have a card to compete with the RTX 4070 Super.

The RX 7800 XT doesn't fit the bill, and the RX 7900 XT costs £700 at present...

The 'RX 7900' (non XT) could have been the card to do that.

As it is, the RX 7800 XT can sometimes compete or even beat the RX 7900 GRE, because of the lower memory and GPU clocks.

With overclocking, it might be possible to at least match the stock clocks of the RX 7800 XT and see a noticeable difference in performance.

the GRE is what the 7800XT should've been anyway.
there's minimal performance uplift between the 6800XT and the 7800XT which is hilarious
the cheek that AMD can even consider pulling this off is a slap in the face to the consumer

That's all amd and nvidia have rolled out this gen, **** take products at **** take pricing for the most part.

I only ever look at one Chinese forum, but the people on there didn't seem to like the 7900GRE either, so I imagine AMD are just rolling it out globally because they weren't able to hoodwink enough Chinese folk.
They'll launch it everywhere at too high a price, and crash the price when no-one buys and it'll be hailed as a good buy.
