Final Thoughts on the XFX Radeon RX 7900 GRE
As I said in the beginning of this review the Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a rather interesting release from AMD. First off it was released before both the Radeon RX 7800 XT and 7700 XT back in 2023. It was also a limited release initially only being available in China, hence why it was called the “Golden Rabbit Edition” (GRE) as 2023 was the year of the rabbit in China. I’m guessing that AMD saw the popularity of the card in China and then decided it would release it worldwide. That is why we only saw it release here in the US in 2024.
It is essentially a cut-down version of the Radeon RX 7900 XT with only 80 Compute Units and a cut-down VRAM of only 16GB (from 20GB). So with that configuration this is going to be a very solid 1440p card that is going to compete with the RTX 4070 SUPER. In our seven game test suite that we use for graphics card we saw an average FPS of 127.46 FPS at 1440p, and keep in mind this is without FSR or any upscaling tech used.
In 4K we saw an average FPS of 68.19 across our game tests, which again is very good and will compete with the RTX 4070 SUPER. Obviously you can get even better performance if you turn a few settings down at 4K. I would say that this is more of a 1440p than a 4K card though.
When it comes to the XFX card specifically, it is a pretty plain card in my opinion. We have a simple design with a triple-fan cooling solution and full-cover metal backplate. Temperatures were for sure under control, although noise levels were a bit louder than many of the NVIDIA cards we have tested.
Right now this specific card is selling for $549.99 at our favorite online retailer, which does make it a very compelling choice over the RTX 4070 SUPER which the lowest cost models will go for $599.99. I think if you are looking for a graphics card for 1440p gaming the Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a very solid choice. Overall ThinkComputers gives the XFX Radeon RX 7900 GRE Graphics Card a 9 out of 10 score.
Pros:
– Great 1440p performance
– Not too large of a card
– Full-cover metal backplate
– FSR is more widely supported
– Good cooling performance
– Priced well
Cons:
– Was louder than many other cards we’ve tested
– No lighting on the card
