AMD has announced that its next-generation graphics cards will arrive on December 13th. The new cards—the RX 7900 XTX and the RX 7900 XT—will be the first to feature AMD’s new RDNA 3 architecture.
The cards will retail for $999 and $899, respectively. While that is of course a considerable price leap above what the current-gen AMD video cards are going for, it is interesting to note that it is still less than were the 6950 XT ($1,099) and 6900 XT ($1,000) at launch.

Many are eager to see how AMD’s new graphics cards stack up against Nvidia’s new RTX 40-series, which started shipping out in October. Intel’s Arc A750 and A770 GPU expansions also launched last month, but are not considered top-of-the-line contenders.
The new RDNA 3 architecture is being touted as delivering more than a 50% boost in performance-per-watt over the currently-used RDNA 2 (also used in PS5 and Xbox Series X|S). Will the new technology help AMD go toe-to-toe with Nvidia’s newest offerings? We’ll find out more when December rolls around.
