AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT GPUs Custom Model Roundup

wccftech.com:

AMD has introduced its brand new Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT GPUs which will be getting a range of custom models at launch.

The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT GPUs come in at reference MSRPs of $499 US & $449 US, respectively. As such, we can expect the custom variants to get slightly extra but there will be few variants that retain the MSRP pricing while delivering better cooling capabilities than the MBA variant (only available for Radeon RX 7800 XT of the two cards).

Starting with the reference model which is also known as MBA (Made by AMD), we are looking at the standard dual-slot and dual-fan affair. The card looks similar to its triple-slot brothers using a higher-end RDNA 3 GPU SKU but overall, this should provide decent cooling capabilities to the GPU underneath it. The 7800 XT is also the only card to have a reference design whereas the 7700 XT is going to stick with partner cards.

So starting with the lineup, we first have ASUS with its new TUF Gaming variants for both cards. The ASUS Radeon RX 7800 XT & RX 7700 XT TUF Gaming graphics cards will feature axial-tech cooling, a metal shroud with a bracing design to prevent GPU sag, and require at least 2.96 slots which is a bit more compact than the 7900 series which takes up 3.63 slots of space. Both cards feature the dual BIOS design with Q/P modes and require dual 8-pin connectors to boot. Furthermore, the 7800 XT will be available in a brand new white TUF Gaming variant which looks superb.

Gigabyte is also preparing two variants of the card which include its Radeon RX 7800 XT Gaming OC and Radeon RX 7700 XT Gaming OC. Both cards feature the same Windforce cooling design with 2.5 slot coolers, a triple 90mm fan, 7 composite copper heat pipes, & a large
