AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT With GPU Specs Similar To Pro W7800 Could End Up Faster Than NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti

AMD's recently released Radeon Pro W7800 might give us an idea of what the Radeon RX 7800 XT is going to offer in terms of specs & performance.

AMD recently introduced its brand new Radeon Pro W7000 series graphics cards, the W7900 & W7800. The Radeon Pro W7800 turned out to be an interesting offering, not only because of its insane workstation and content creation value but also because its core configuration utilizes a further cut-down Navi 31 GPU based on the RDNA 3 graphics architecture. What makes this GPU interesting is the possibility of it being used in AMD's Radeon RX 7800 XT gaming graphics cards.

ASCII.jp recently theorized what if the AMD Radeon W7800 and the Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics cards feature the same GPU configuration. We know that AMD has historically shared the same specs between the Radeon Pro and Radeon RX variants.

The Radeon Pro W6900X & W6800 use similar core configurations but the Pro variants get twice as much VRAM. So if we were to use a similar core configuration as the Radeon Pro W7800, the Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card may feature up to 70 Compute units with a total of 4480 stream processors.

Now the question raises if AMD would really use Navi 31 for its RX 7800 series graphics cards & it honestly doesn't seem that far-fetched considering the Radeon RX 6800 series also utilizes Navi 21, the biggest RDNA 2 GPU die available. The Radeon RX 6700 series used the Navi 32 GPU and that might also happen with the Radeon RX 7700 series when it launches though there are reports that Navi 32 is currently facing delays.

So it makes sense to use a further cut-down Navi 31 GPU for the Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card. The Radeon Pro W7800 also features four MCDs with a 256-bit bus interface which makes sense for a card of this tier. As such, you would get up to 16 GB GDDR6 memory and 64 MB of Infinity cache. As for performance, a Navi 31 configured Radeon RX 7800 XT can end up with a performance on par or faster than the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti with more memory capacity.

But a Non-XT variant of the Radeon RX 7800 may also launch later on with the possibility of using 60 CUs or 3840 cores. This graphics card can end up with a 256-bit memory bus too with 16 GB of memory while a cut-down configuration may end up with 48 CUs and launch under the Radeon RX 7700 XT series.

According to Ascii, the Radeon RX 7700 XT will launch at least two months after the Radeon RX 7800 XT, and the prices are predicted close to $649 US for the 7800 XT and $449 US for the RX 7700 XT. It should be remembered that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti costs $799 US so anything below that is going to be a good deal for gamers as you are getting similar or better performance with higher memory capacities.

The announcement is said to happen during AMD's Computex 2023 keynote where AIBs are also expected to showcase the first custom Radeon RX 7600 graphics cards utilizing Navi 33 GPUs.
