the future Radeon RX 7700 XT could offer the same performance of the current top of the range Radeon RX 6900 XT. The well-known leaker Moore’s Law is Dead in the latest video posted on YouTube he released a huge amount of information regarding the new chip Navi 33 from AMDa monolithic project made at 6 nanometers by TSMC.
According to what has been reported, the GPU that will cover the mid-range of the new series of graphics cards would have extremely interesting performances that could make it even better than future mid-range NVIDIA solutions.
The video lists all the specifications (or possible such) that the new GPU should propose, including a significant improvement in performance in ray tracing and an energy consumption between i 180 ei 230W. In essence, the new mid-range card should be able to offer rasterization performance similar to that of a Radeon RX 6900 XT, in the face of a amount of memory lower and decidedly more moderate consumption.
The possible Radeon RX 7700 XT, in fact, would have next to 5120 stream processor (like 6900 XT) “only” 8GB of GDDR6 memory, which should allow it to offer superior performance to the 6900 XT in 1080p and similar in 1440p, while the current flagship would retain an advantage in 4K. However, the card would be faster in handling ray tracing.
The next AMD mid-range GPU, by virtue of these characteristics, could be faster and more efficient than the NVIDIA counterpart of the RTX 4000 series for which rather high consumption has been rumored for some time.
Another information contained in the video concerns the strategy with which AMD intends to market the next generation of GPUs. According to the sources of the youtuber, the company intends to raise the bar of performance and, probably, also the prices as a consequence of the fact that the PC gaming market is becoming more and more elitistthat is, focused on what are defined as “enthusiast” or “big spender”.
This strategy would also include APUs, destined to occupy the entry-level segment once populated by low-end dedicated video cards. It should not be forgotten that, according to rumors, Ryzen 7000 CPUs should have an integrated RDNA 2 GPU capable of offering convincing performance in Full HD.
