AMD has just announced the new high end Radeon RX 7000 series of graphics cards. The company unveiled the RX 7900 XTX and the RX 7900 XT, which arrives after Nvidia’s launch of its GeForce RTX 4000 series GPUs.

Team Red made the announcement for the new graphics cards during the AMD’s Together We Advance_Gaming event on Thursday in Las Vegas. During this event, only two GPU models were unveiled from the latest lineup, which is the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT. In other words, there is still no word for the more affordable RX 7800 series models as of yet. The two models announced are high end GPUs that are set to rival the Nvidia RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 graphics cards, which are Team Green’s top models at the moment.

Talking about the top end model first, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX will arrive with 24GB of GDDR6 VRAM, while the RX 7900 XT will feature 20GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Furthermore, the two new GPUs will also support the latest DisplayPort 2.1 standard, which is an improvement over Nvidia’s latest cards that only support DisplayPort 1.4. The RX 7900 XTX will offer a clock speed of 2.3GHz with a 384 bit GDDR6 memory. It will also house 96 compute units, second gen ray accelerators, and even AI accelerators. On the other hand, the RX 7900 XT offers 2GHz clock speed, with 320 bit GDDR6 memory and 84 compute units.

The new AMD graphics cards are set to go on sale starting from 13th December 2022. The new RX 7000 series of graphics cards starts from 899 US Dollars for the RX 7900 XT model, meanwhile, the RX 7900 XTX will have a price tag of 999 US Dollars. At this price range, the new AMD cards are much more affordable than the two new flagship NVIDIA GPUs, which should give the latter a decent challenge in the PC market.
