AMD continues to offer PC builders more choices for various budgets, as sources discovered that the tech giant lowered the price of its current flagship graphics card, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX, to $899. The price cut of the AMD card was discovered on Newegg, but some Radeon RX 7900 XTX quantities remained in back order at the time of writing.
