PowerColor leak confirms AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT GPU: 3840 cores and 16GB VRAM

PowerColor has leaked AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card which features a brand new RDNA 3 GPU SKU with 16GB of VRAM.

Out of nowhere, someone at PowerColor decided it was time to go live with the product page for the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card that will serve as the successor to AMD's Radeon RX 6800 XT GPUs. The variant leaked by PowerColor is its own Red Devil design with custom cooling and PCB design. The card features a triple fan configuration in a 2.2-slot design, but more importantly, this is the first actual leak of the upcoming 7800 XT series.

Starting with the specs, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT GPU is now confirmed to have a mix of Navi 31 and Navi 32 MCM GPUs. The configuration pictured is based on the Navi 31 GPU with only four MCDs versus the six MCDs featured on the full Navi 31 GPUs. The GPU core comes with 3840 cores packed within 60 compute units. These operate at a game clock of up to 2255 MHz and a boost clock of up to 2565 MHz, so you're looking at around 40 TFLOPs of compute.

For memory, the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card is configured with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM operating over a 256-bit wide bus interface, packing 64MB of Infinity Cache and operating at an 18Gbps pin speed for 576GB/s of total bandwidth. This particular variant requires at least 800W PSUs to boot, so we can estimate TBP around 300W.

The PCB is said to use an 18-phase VRM design and you can see that the GPU is certainly a more compact version using the Navi 32 GPU. Some of the highlighted features of the card from PowerColor include:

The price of the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card is definitely going to be interesting. We've seen the Radeon RX 7900 GRE launch at $649 US, which means the 7800 XT could very well come in at around $600 US. GRE is only going to be available via system integrators for the global audience, so AMD may still have the option to launch the 7800 XT at $649 US, or if they feel like going the competitive route, then I think $549-$599 US would be a good pricing and certainly be a much more compelling buy over the RTX 4070 series.

As for the launch of this graphics card, AMD recently confirmed that it has several enthusiast RDNA 3 offerings launching this quarter. It is likely that the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT will be accompanied by the Radeon RX 7700 XT which is another rumored graphics card. We'll definitely hear more soon, especially at Gamescom 2023.
