Radeon RX 7900: Launch in very limited quantities

The actual launch of the Radeon RX 7900XT and 7900XTX is scheduled for December 13th. However, it has been confirmed that the supply will be minimal during the first weeks. Therefore reference cards will be released in limited numbers and it will be necessary to fight for a piece. Unfortunately, the partner models will not arrive until a few weeks later. Right now, only three AIBs have announced their custom versions of the RX 7900 XT/XTX, namely Sapphire, powercolor And the ASUS.

RX 7900: How about “real” card availability on December 13th

If AMD’s cards are particularly expected in light of what’s currently going on with the RTX 40s, we have every right to fear a catastrophic launch because unfortunately AMD has the secret in its GPUs. rumours The last hours are not conducive to optimism on this subject and it seems clear that the most motivated buyers will have to wait until 2023. The important topic then will be knowing the position of the Reds partner brands on the RDNA3 maps. Additional information indicates that AMD partners still don’t have exact numbers on the quantities of GPUs affected for launch. Under these circumstances, the most pessimistic question is whether the December 13 date will not be a “phantom” launch.

Also note the warning from AMD’s other historical partners on GPUs. ASRock, Biostar, Gigabyte, MSI or XFX have yet to communicate about their possible future cards in RDNA3.
