The next-generation graphics cards, the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT, will go on sale in December.

In a presentation we called advance_gaming, the company talked in detail about its RDNA 3-based graphics accelerators and its own technologies that will be available in upcoming games. We picked the most important thing from the stream.

• AMD’s goal with the RDNA 3 chips was to provide users with a gaming experience at 4K resolution.
• The 5nm RDNA 3 is the company’s first consumer product architecture to use chiplets: several parts responsible for different computations connected via a dedicated interface.
• The graphics processor has 58 billion transistors and the performance reaches 61 teraflops.
• The chip will be used in the RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT video cards presented at the presentation.

Both graphics cards will go on sale on December 13, 2022, and will support the DisplayPort 2.1 standard, which supports higher frame rates.

According to AMD, thanks to graphics accelerators, some games can run at triple-digit frame rates at 1440p and even 4K.

The “old” video card, the 7900 XTX, according to the company, will provide 1.5-1.7 times the performance of the RX 6950 XT at 4K resolution.

At the same time, it requires only 355 watts of power (compared to 450 watts for the flagship Nvidia RTX 4090). Adapters for video cards are not required – both have standard 8-pin connectors.
