Good news AMD fans, looks like the Radeon RX 7800 XT is actually coming, as fresh leaks confirm specs for a custom GPU variant. I say “leaks”, but the incident is best described as a pre-launch boo boo, as graphics card maker Powercolor seemingly posted its product page a tad early.
How early? Well, previous insider tips hint that the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT will arrive before September ends, but we’re still waiting on a solid release date. However, thanks to the accidental specs reveal, we now have a much better idea of what to expect when the RDNA 3 gaming PC part lands in the best graphics card battlefield. Most of the leaked details line up with what we’ve all been expecting, but it looks like the card will be a different beast to the recently released Radeon RX 7900 GRE, at least in terms of the chip within.
Spotted by All_The_Watts on Twitter, the now removed Powercolor RedDevil Radeon RX 7800 XT product page completely spills the beans on specs and its design. If the early information is correct, the overclocked card will feature a Navi 32 GPU, 16GB GDDR6 VRAM, 3840 stream processors, 60 compute units, and boost clock speeds up to 2,565MHz. The package is cooled by a triple fan setup, sticking with standard dual 8-pin connectors for power.
This isn’t actually the first Radeon RX 7800 XT leak to come from All_The_Watts, as the eagle-eyed GPU fan also shared a 3DMark score for the card last month. Naturally, we’ll want to run our own benchmarks before making any grand performance assumptions, but it does imply that it’ll potentially beat the RTX 4070.
Not that synthetic benchmark scores are a true indication, but it’s impressive considering AMD FSR 3, the company’s answer to DLSS 3, could give the GPU a further
