The gaming community’s anticipation has finally been met as AMD unveils its latest offering, the RX 7800 XT graphics card. Following a substantial wait since its predecessor’s launch in late 2022, this new GPU from AMD is primed to make its mark, engaging in fierce competition with its counterparts.
A 16GB VRAM Powerhouse
Amidst the intrigue surrounding AMD’s RDNA 3 microarchitecture, it’s worth noting that the curtain has risen on two variants so far: the RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX. Now, after eight months, the RX 7800 XT takes the stage, ready to provide a compelling alternative for PC enthusiasts.
According to details sourced from tom’sHardware, the RX 7800 XT still proudly boasts 16GB of VRAM – a continuity from the previous generation. Yet, beneath the surface, subtle differences in specifications come to light.
With Memory Speed pushed to 18 Gbps, a 2 Gbps enhancement, and a Memory Bandwidth reaching 576 GB/s, a 64 GB/s improvement over its predecessor, this GPU’s prowess becomes evident. Although precise figures for Game Clock and Boost Clock remain elusive, projections hint at a potential 3-5% increase in speed.
AMD’s meticulous consideration becomes evident in the generous memory allocation of the RX 7800 XT. With 16GB VRAM, gamers can confidently explore a plethora of AAA titles at FHD resolution and beyond, tailored to their preferences.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
While power consumption might not top the priority list for most gamers, certain scenarios warrant consideration. Perhaps due to PSU constraints or other technical factors, power consumption becomes a factor in decision-making.
Luckily, the RX 7800 XT shines here too, consuming approximately 50W less power than its predecessor. In comparison to the RX 6800 XT’s 300W, the RX 7800 XT requests a mere 250W, all the while boosting performance to handle the latest gaming demands adeptly.
On the pricing front, expectations point to a range of 9 million Indonesian Rupiah and beyond. Considering the RX 6800 XT’s current starting price of around 8 million Indonesian Rupiah, AMD’s strategic focus doesn’t seem to hinge on undercutting competitors with lower prices.
Anticipated Availability
Projected to hit the Indonesian market between mid-August and September, enthusiasts eagerly await this GPU’s release. However, potential delays due to unforeseen factors cannot be ruled out. Nevertheless, one brand is already making preparations for the imminent global rollout of this graphics card.
