About the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2023 with a MSRP of $549. It is built on the RDNA 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 31) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RX 7900 GRE has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 576 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 7900 GRE includes 5,120 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,287 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,245 MHz. It usually operates at 1,880 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 320 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 160 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 160 AI accelerators optimized for AI workloads and 80 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 7900 GRE occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 2.1, USB Type-C display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 260 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 7900 GRE has the 19th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 51.73% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 67,134 score and $549 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 122.28. This is the 11th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon VII GPU

The AMD Radeon VII is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q1 2019 with a MSRP of $699. It is built on the GCN 5.1 GPU microarchitecture (codename Vega 20) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The VII has 16 GB of HBM2 memory, with a 1,000 MHz memory clock and a 4,096 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 1.02 Tb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The VII includes 3,840 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,400 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,750 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 240 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The VII occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 295 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The VII has the 61st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 29.19% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 37,881 score and $699 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 54.19. This is the 71st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
