The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX launched just as planned on Tuesday, December 13, around 9 AM ET, in line with previous launches. Most storefronts in the United States and the United Kingdom hit the mark, with these premium GPUs successfully hitting their intended release date.

The all-new XT and XTX are the first GPUs in the world to feature a chiplet design modeled after AMD's Zen-based Ryzen CPUs. Using the RDNA 3 architecture in these cutting-edge cards, AMD claims a 54% improvement in performance over the previous-generation AMD RDNA 2, following the strong upwards trend with its flagship technology.

Why you can trust Windows Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and 7900 XTX have an MSRP of $899 and $999, respectively, somewhat lower than the previous generation Radeon RX 6900 XT with its $1,000 MSRP and the fabled 6900 XTX, which was never released.

Typical with most high-end GPU launches, issues with availability and third-party competitive pricing by third-party storefronts mean picking up an RX 7900 GPU at MSRP is still farfetched. Price scalping is still an unfortunate reality, too, but the first branded cards to hit stores at the launch were only above the intended price by a reasonably slim margin.

Here at Windows Central, we'll keep an eye on digital storefronts shipping to the United States and the United Kingdom to keep you informed on the latest prices and any bargain deals, watching for re-stocks to help you bag this modern edge GPU.

B&H Photo and Best Buy were first on the starting line with store pages for the Radeon 7900 XTX, displaying a $1,100 asking price down from an implied $1,200 listing. Either storefront allows you to sign up for stock notifications, but B&H Photo was the only one allowing you to add the XFX branded Radeon RX 7900 XTX to a digital shopping cart and listed the card as a 'top seller.'

The XFX SPEEDSTER MERC310 BLACK features 24GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a 384-bit interface and recommends an 850W power supply. This dual-slot card measures 344mm x 128mm, so you'll need plenty of clearance in your case.

At the high end, the ASRock Tachi RX 7900 XTX came out of the gate as the most expensive variant. Recommending a 1000W power supply; it's a power-hungry card but only a fraction longer than most at a 345mm length.

More variants of the 7900 XTX from licensed manufacturers, including ASUS, Gigabyte, PowerColor, and Sapphire, were launched alongside the official model from AMD. We'll update our listings as often as possible, so keep checking the links leading up to the release.

Best Buy and B&H Photo were, once again, the first storefronts with live pages for the Radeon 7900 XT at $980, down from a $1,000 starting price. Either storefront had a signup option for stock notifications, but B&H Photo was the only one allowing you to add the GPU to a digital shopping cart and listed the card as a 'top seller.'

Another XFX SPEEDSTER MERC310 BLACK, this time with 20GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a 320-bit interface and recommending an 800W power supply. This dual-slot card measures 344m x 128mm, the same as the SPEEDSTER XTX, so you still need a spacious PC case to fit it.

Gigabyte sells its Radeon RX 7900 XT Gaming OC variant as the most expensive variant of the generally cheaper model. Recommending an 800W power supply and 331mm of clearance, it claims superior cooling and boasts built-in RGB lighting.

More variants of the 7900 XT from licensed manufacturers, including PowerColor and Sapphire, were launched alongside the official model from AMD. We'll update our listings as frequently as possible, so keep checking the links leading up to the release.

Where to buy RX 7900 XT and XTX pre-built desktop PCs

Buying one of the best pre-built gaming desktops can save you the hassle of sourcing components and configuring a PC, but the price is usually much steeper. The trade-off comes from trusting a third-party company to help you select parts, build the machine, and test for any errors before shipping it out.

So far, pre-built desktops featuring these AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX cards are scarce. A collection of listings began to appear shortly after the GPU launched. We'll keep you updated with the latest manufacturers offering a shortcut to a ready-made PC loaded with these beefy graphics cards as they become available.

Can the Radeon RX 7900 do ray tracing?

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT and XTX GPUs are capable of ray tracing for enhancing real-time lighting effects, using ray accelerator cores instead of the RT cores found on NVIDIA cards. AMD promises an improvement in ray-traced performance over its previous-generation RX 6900 XT, alongside AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 image upscaling tech, its answer to NVIDIA's DLSS.

Supporting up to 24GB of GDDR6 memory with a 384-bit interface on the XTX with a new generation of ultra-efficient raytracing tech on both cards means these cutting-edge Radeon GPUs should provide serious competition for the latest NVIDIA GPUs.

Considering a card such as the top-end ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC is supposed to retail for $1,800 but still regularly tops $2,000, anything offering remotely comparable power to the 40-series for less cash is tempting for the enthusiast-level PC gamer.

Contrary to popular belief, the high-end Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB and XTX 24GB target the GeForce RTX 4080 as a more appropriate rival and are not an RTX 4090 equivalent. Since the supposed 12GB variant of the 4080 never saw the light of day, AMD can cover a slightly wider category with its closely-related cards.
