PowerColor teases graphics card backside
At the start of gamescom 2023, graphics card manufacturer PowerColor has teased the back of a graphics card from its in-house Hellhound series. Apart from the well-known logo of the graphics card series on the back, the heat sink, an LED switch and the iconic purple RGB fans, however, not much is visible in the image.
Probable hardware specs of the RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT
According to leaks, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT will have 12 GB of GDDR6 video memory, which is connected via a 192-bit memory bus. This means that the RX 7700 XT is equipped like an RX 6700 XT in terms of memory.
According to rumours, the RX 7800 XT will have 60 computing units, which corresponds to the Navi32 full expansion stage. The graphics card is said to have 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, which works with a 256-bit memory bus. This would make the RX 7800 XT very similar to the RX 7900 GRE (Gold Rabbit Edition)
What do you think? Are you eagerly waiting for the Radeon RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT from AMD? Will you be getting one of these graphics cards? Are you still waiting for another model from AMD?
