AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE
A cut-down Navi 31 card that sat between the RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 XT, with 16 GB of memory on a 256-bit bus. It launched in China first and reached global markets in 2024. Its rasterised speed is a little behind the current RX 9070, which draws 220 W against its 260 W.

Where to buy
$549MSRP
Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.
This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.

Niche recommendation
This card is out of production. New stock is scarce and priced unpredictably, so it only makes sense at a genuine discount against a current-generation equivalent.
1440p gaming at 100+ FPS
Why
- Estimated performance index of 49 at 1440p, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
- 16 GB of memory is comfortable for 1440p, so texture settings stay out of the conversation.
- 8.9 index points per $100 at 1440p, among the strongest value here, based on launch MSRP.
- Supports FSR 3.1 Frame Generation and AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level).
- At 1440p the RX 7900 GRE is 3.9% slower than the RTX 5070 while costing $437 less, which gives it the better performance per dollar of the two. Based on launch MSRP.

Watch out for
This card is out of production, so new stock is scarce and pricing is unpredictable. It is only worth considering at a genuine discount.

Gaming benchmarks
Frame-rate figures transcribed from named third-party measurements, grouped so that two different test methodologies are never mixed in one table.
No measured frame-rate data is recorded for the RX 7900 GRE yet, so the performance figures on this page are CompareYourGPU's labelled estimates. How benchmark data is handled.
In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features
What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.
Supported. This card uses Ray Accelerators (RDNA 3).
FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.
FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level). Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.
Hardware AV1 encode is supported. AMD page lists 4K H.264, H.265/HEVC and AV1 encode. AMD page lists 4K H.264, H.265/HEVC and AV1 decode.
Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits

- DisplayPort 2.1
Weaknesses
- 260 W, against 220 W for the faster RX 9070
- No FSR 4
- Ray tracing is weaker than comparably priced NVIDIA cards
- Discontinued
Best for
- Rasterised 1440p gaming
- Buyers who want 16 GB without flagship money
Not ideal for
- Path-traced games
- Efficiency-focused builds
Price, value and efficiency
What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.
$549MSRP
Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.
Good priceFair price for this performance: $1,158
Good buy below $1,065 · expensive above $1,297
The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.
Performance per dollar
8.9
Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.
That places it in the top quarter of the database on value.
Performance per watt
18.8
Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.
That places it in the upper half of the database on efficiency.
RX 7900 GRE frequently asked questions
Is the RX 7900 GRE good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 130-190 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 144+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1080p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RX 7900 GRE good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 90-125 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 100+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
Is the RX 7900 GRE good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 40-60 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 16 GB gives real headroom at 4K, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
How much VRAM does the RX 7900 GRE have?
The RX 7900 GRE has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, giving 576 GB/s of bandwidth. 16 GB gives real headroom at 1440p, including with ray tracing and high-resolution texture packs.
What power supply does the RX 7900 GRE need?
AMD does not publish a system power supply recommendation for this card. It draws 260 W of board power, so CompareYourGPU suggests at least 600 W for a complete system, which is board power plus 300 W of headroom. It uses 2x 8-pin.
Which upscaling technologies does the RX 7900 GRE support?
It supports FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports FSR 3.1 Frame Generation and AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (driver-level). Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
How much does the RX 7900 GRE cost?
It launched at $549 MSRP and is now out of production. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price on record for this card, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RX 7900 GRE?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RTX 3080 Ti at $1,199. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RX 7900 GRE is level with it, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
