The Radeon RX 7700 will be one of the upcoming graphics cards from mid-range from AMD, and will be designed for move games optimally in 1440p resolution with maximum qualities in almost all cases. The only exception will be those titles that consume a large amount of graphics memory, and therefore may exceed the maximum VRAM that this graphics card will bring.
We know that the Radeon RX 7700 will be based on the graphics core Navi 32, which will be the same one that will give life to the Radeon RX 7700 XT and Radeon RX 7800 and 7800 XT, although in a shorter version. Its memory subsystem will be higher than what we saw in the Radeon RX 6700, and it will also have a larger amount of graphics memory.
Thanks to the RDNA3 architecture It will mark a significant improvement in terms of performance compared to the previous generation, it will have specialized hardware to accelerate AI and it will offer clearly superior performance when working with ray tracing. The latter has been precisely one of the most important improvements introduced by this new architecture.
Possible specifications of the Radeon RX 7700
- Navi 32 graphics core in 5nm for the GPU and 6nm for the cache chiplets.
- 54 computing units.
- 3,072 shaders at 1,900 MHz-2,600 MHz.
- 192 texturing units.
- 96 raster units.
- 48 second generation cores to accelerate ray tracing.
- 96 units to speed up AI.
- 64 MB infinite cache (L3).
- 192-bit bus.
- 12 GB of graphics memory at 18 GHz (432 GB/s of bandwidth).
- Power of 31.95 TFLOPs in FP32.
- 180 watt TBP. You will need an additional 8-pin power connector.
Compared to the Radeon RX 6700, the Radeon RX 7700 would have more shaders (2,304 vs. 3,072), It would have a higher memory subsystem (192-bit bus vs. 160-bit bus), it would have 2 GB more graphics memory, and it would have all the advances of the RDNA2 architecture.
Estimated performance, possible price and release date
If the information we are seeing is true, the Radeon RX 7700 would offer performance slightly larger than a Radeon RX 6800which would put it between the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and the GeForce RTX 3080. Obviously, this means that it would be more powerful than the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti.
As for the price, it is said that the Radeon RX 7700 could be around $479, which means that it would be more expensive than the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. I insist so much on this NVIDIA graphics card because it will be its direct rival.
The launch of this new AMD graphics card should take place between the third and fourth quarter of 2023.
