Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 7900 GRE, 16GB GDDR6, 2x HDMI, 2x DP, lite retail

With so many releases of new GPUs and price cuts seemingly happening every week, things are starting to heat up in the space with AMD having one of the best value-for-money products in the segment in the form of the 7800 XT. However, they have one card that never saw the light of day outside of Asia. I’m talking about the 7900 GRE or Golden Rabbit Edition, which is now setting its sights on the Western world.

Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 GRE Nitro+ is a premium custom design of AMD's performance segment graphics card that has eluded Western markets until now. The RX 7900 GRE (Golden Rabbit Edition) was originally conceived as a limited edition targeting the Chinese market, and was also available in Asian markets near China; but AMD has decided to give this a wider launch, if not a full global launch. It should be available in certain Western markets for purchase from tomorrow (February 27). This isn't a new GPU, with the earliest marketplace sightings of the card dating back to July 2023. Why then did AMD decide to give this card a wider launch now? This has to do with the January launch of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 Super and RTX 4070 Ti Super, which shook up the GPU market between $500 to $800.
