So amd screwed up the naming scheme again. The 7800xt should have been the non xt version (and would make more sense since amd said it was the true successor to the 6800 non xt). The gre should have been the xt version.
@@david.n I was gonna argue bc the 4070 looked decent, but then I compared 30 series to 20 series. 3070 performs 5% better than the 2080 ti (flagship of that gen) however the 4070 isn't even close to the 3090 unless you go by Nvidia's frame gen specs (doesn't count imo).

Be aware that this scores are good because the 7900GRE is using the OC BIOS on this model and it's reaching 290-300W @ 2500mhz (+300mhz OC from base model), and the 7800XT is reaching 260W @ 2500mhz (+100mhz OC from base model). This means that if you get a 7900GRE model that is not as much overcloakble, the diference to a good 7800XT might be even lower.
Factory overclocks are irrelevent its not 300mhz oc because a standard 7900GRE is not running st 1900mhz in anything. Factory OC cards are a marketing gimmick the boost algorithm takes care of it. In reality with AMD you can really only boost clocks with undervolting.
I'm building my first PC in 20 years so I've been watching a bunch of these types of channels recently, and I must say, without question this is by far the best channel for these kinds of videos, and it's not even close. Well done and thanks for all the break downs

Electricity costs are a concern. Is there some metric where we have a better idea of what is the performance per watt or something? I am worried the GRE draws too much watts.
This is what the 7800xt should have been instead of barely matching the 6800xt 2 yrs later. It's unfortunate we don't see decent options until the tail end of a generation when they're about to be replaced by a new generation anyways. What's more unfortunate is it doesn't even offer a better price to performance of the 7800xt, leaving you with a big meh.
I am really surprised how poorly this GRE performs relative to the 7800 XT with it's superior CUDA cores count, and I certainly don't attribute it to a slightly slower bandwidth. Maybe it's just power restraint that is causing the proportional uplift. It's still an interesting value relative to the 7800 XT though...
@@user-im5ri6yr4x it totally wasn't a scam! I have a brand new 7900 GRE red devil and I've definitely enjoyed it! In fact I've enjoyed it so much that I bought a 34" 1440p widescreen monitor to complement it! Lol
I like how on the European market the selling of GRE was limited to cards only 3% faster than the RX 7800XT. While in the US, it starts with a 10% advantage up to 15%. It's ridiculous.

Just a middle finger to the EU as usual.
For 50 watts more consumption you only get 5 to 10 fps more at the size. So the size always hangs at around 300 watts which is sooo bad. Whether I play at 42 fps in 4k or 49 fps is pointless and you're just throwing money out the window. The 7800xt can then be brought to 45 fps with -100mv in 4k with approx. 220 to 230 watts max at load!!! the gre is definitely never preferable to the 7800xt. never !!!
The RX7700xt has also dropped in price. In Canada Prices are looking like (scores from gpu.benchmark using average score): card cost score score/$ rx7700xt $560 100 5.60 rx7800xt $680 118 5.76 rx7900gre $750 127 5.91 Which is a bit of a surprise. Looks like the rx7700xt's price drop makes it more interesting. Comments?
At that point (200 dollar difference) they aren't in the same class anymore. Better off comparing the 7700 xt with thw Arc a770, 3060 12gb, rx 7600 xt, rx 6650 xt, 4060 ti, etc. Generally the prices for top end cards in Canada and most of Nvidia's line ups are way out of proportion to their value. The gre is the best near top of the line cards you can get before they jump another 200 dollars. In most of the data I've seen its worth the extra 50-60 bucks in Canada (I've not seen rx 7800 it's at 680, they've been about 690 for met at the lowest) because those extra dollars equate proportionally to increased performance (690 + 10% = 759, and the benchmarks generally seem to indicate a 10% performance boost).
How is the coilwhine on hellhounds. Sapphire nitros have had minimal coil whine in my experience. Once made the mistake of buying asus card and it sounded like car that has loose fan belt. It really screamed, sent it back the same day haha.
Imma be honest Daniel....... I love all of your videos, and I know it's not your fault, but it gets gard to care about cards above 500 usd. Still amazing comparison, and all of your in put is amazing and I know it's super helpful to those that are willing to pay at or above 500 usd. Much love dooder. Keep in keeping on. I'll always watch just because how informative and how realistic you're opinions are!
I bought used 7800xt for 420euro. Consider used market bro there are plenty of not sufficient satisfied and go from 7800xt to 7900xt. or changing to team green.
I actually like your videos, you test out most stuff even possible to test, that Said. If its not CSGO and stuff like that, 1080P is just a waste to use time on if you ask me, i allways skip those myself at least 😅
1080p on most monitors is actually still good. Having a card that can run 1440p and 4k at a good performance is great, but I usually try to prioritize performance for most games
Just got my GRE today....I thought Ray Tracing was going to cripple the card and be a miserable experience. I've only tried Resident Evil 2 so far, but Ultra/Max with Full RT @ 4K with no upscaling is pretty stunning....especially the 1%/0.1%... this degree of zero-stutter is the most impressive part, but admittedly I'm coming from a 3070
How easy is it to overclock the memory frequency? If you can match the 19.5GB/s from the 7800XT or even the 20GB/s of the 7900XT, the GRE should always be more like 15% faster than the 7800XT. I have no idea why the reference card is locked at 260W with 18GB/s ram. As you can see with the R&C results, memory bandwidth is definitely a limiting factor, don't know why PowerColor didn't put faster memory or at least OC'ed them a bit.
Remember when max a GPU could be priced was 550-600 dollar at this point I do think they are doing improvements but instead of being like "last years $300 GPU gave you 100 FPS now you get 135 FPS" now it's like "last year you got 100 FPS for $300 now it's 135 FPS for a $390, that's a 35% improvement with a 30% price jump, we are so kind I know" *pats himself on back.
Great job as usual Daniel. Let's all sit down and think about how botched this generation of GPUs is. 4080 12GB=4070ti replaced by 4070ti super. 7900gre should have actually been 7800xt. CGE should have been the nomenclature for all these GPU this time around = Cash Grab Edition...
Daniel I need quick answer or incoming Video about RX 6900XT Vs RX 7900 Gre because I have limited time and Have money to buy both for almost the same cost which one should I go
I got the 7800XT six months ago it's a good card with 16gb of ram, playing atm only 1080@240h so I'm ok with it. As you've said, get the GRE if you can, if not, the XT still good.
I got a 7800xt back in Nov for £507 and its awesome. But I don't use RT, I tend to play slightly older titles or single player games where a lower frame rate is acceptable and it does all that with rasterization in high/ultra at 1440p flawlessly. What I would say - finding the cheapest price on pcpartpicker isn't the be all and end all. I value quality parts, from good brands with excellent warranties. So I'd always rather a sapphie nitro versus say a gainward GPU. For my 2 cents - if you only buy on price, PC gaming probably isn't for you.
i'd love to see a GRE vs 6900XT/6950XT comparison, purely because of it being the same core count in both gpu's, as the 7800XT has the same amount of cores as the 6800.
I like that it's a straight price to performance scaleing, but I still don't rethink it's worth it. I think the 7900 gre will hold it's value longer than the 7800 xt, like the 6800 xt did, if reselling is a concern.
Other than heavy ray tracing, the RTX-4070 Super is getting the pimp hand from the cheaper RX-7900GRE, however, it will even be more funny when the OC editions of the RX-7900GRE comes out. The GRE is a better value that the RX-7900XT, until you can get the RX-7900XT for $650 on the regular, then I would spend the extra $100 on the RX-7900XT without worrying about the RX-7900GRE. The RX-7700XT and RX-7800XT both need $25-$50 price drops.
here in the uk im guessing ,because our prices include tax) the 7900GRE will cost £660 , i got my rx 7800xt for £475. the GRE doesnt seem like a good deal for me
The GRE is poorly binned flagship navi31 while the 7800xt is a fully realized, 34% smaller die. This comparison would be very interesting with a 15%+ power limit
Terrible GPUs from all companies. Only 60fps 4K for £500, I expected that at the budget level £200 by now. 1440p gaming has been around over 10yrs...come on what they playing at. Rip off

never been so soon to a vid
Electricity costs are a concern. Is there some metric where we have a better idea of what is the performance per watt or something? I am worried the GRE draws too much watts.
This is what the 7800xt should have been instead of barely matching the 6800xt 2 yrs later. It's unfortunate we don't see decent options until the tail end of a generation when they're about to be replaced by a new generation anyways. What's more unfortunate is it doesn't even offer a better price to performance of the 7800xt, leaving you with a big meh.
You moving across the screen as a cursor got me laughing too hard
I would really love to see the 7900GRE at 2.4Ghz. Its a small overclock from 2.2 but it would match the clock of the 7800xt and 7900xt.
XFX has 2395 clocks
Look at the clocks here, this one is going around 2500 the entire time.
the one in the video is at nearly 2.6ghz broddy
why it can hit 2800 easily lol
I am really surprised how poorly this GRE performs relative to the 7800 XT with it's superior CUDA cores count, and I certainly don't attribute it to a slightly slower bandwidth. Maybe it's just power restraint that is causing the proportional uplift. It's still an interesting value relative to the 7800 XT though...
In my country the price difference is 7% more so might as well go with the 7900GRE, thanks for the video 👍
I just bought the power color red devil 7900 GRE for $319 today on Amazon!
You probably got scammed but enjoy it guess?
@@user-im5ri6yr4x it totally wasn't a scam! I have a brand new 7900 GRE red devil and I've definitely enjoyed it! In fact I've enjoyed it so much that I bought a 34" 1440p widescreen monitor to complement it! Lol
Was gonna try and get a 7800xt for msrp but 50$ for more then 10% performance at the same power. I think I’ll try and find a 7900gre
Not the same power look closer
Gonna wait for the 4070 super and 7900 xt comparisions!
he already did this
@@blastyouofman, i was talking about the 7900 GRE comparisions.-
@@nicane-9966your comment says 4070s and 7900xt not 7900gre
would love to see an overclocked 7900GRE with a higher power limit
I like how on the European market the selling of GRE was limited to cards only 3% faster than the RX 7800XT. While in the US, it starts with a 10% advantage up to 15%. It's ridiculous.

Just a middle finger to the EU as usual.
Perhaps the earlier GREs were stock and that's why they were slower than these newer, overclocked ones.
For 50 watts more consumption you only get 5 to 10 fps more at the size. So the size always hangs at around 300 watts which is sooo bad. Whether I play at 42 fps in 4k or 49 fps is pointless and you're just throwing money out the window. The 7800xt can then be brought to 45 fps with -100mv in 4k with approx. 220 to 230 watts max at load!!! the gre is definitely never preferable to the 7800xt. never !!!
The RX7700xt has also dropped in price. In Canada Prices are looking like (scores from gpu.benchmark using average score):
card cost score score/$
rx7700xt $560 100 5.60
rx7800xt $680 118 5.76
rx7900gre $750 127 5.91
Which is a bit of a surprise. Looks like the rx7700xt's price drop makes it more interesting. Comments?
At that point (200 dollar difference) they aren't in the same class anymore. Better off comparing the 7700 xt with thw Arc a770, 3060 12gb, rx 7600 xt, rx 6650 xt, 4060 ti, etc. Generally the prices for top end cards in Canada and most of Nvidia's line ups are way out of proportion to their value. The gre is the best near top of the line cards you can get before they jump another 200 dollars. In most of the data I've seen its worth the extra 50-60 bucks in Canada (I've not seen rx 7800 it's at 680, they've been about 690 for met at the lowest) because those extra dollars equate proportionally to increased performance (690 + 10% = 759, and the benchmarks generally seem to indicate a 10% performance boost).
Hellhound's are solid cards. My 7900 XT's quiet, has a dual bios and switches for lights. It weighs a brick and games have never looked so smooth!😎
I'm in love with my 7900XT Hellhound too, it's a monster
How is the coilwhine on hellhounds. Sapphire nitros have had minimal coil whine in my experience. Once made the mistake of buying asus card and it sounded like car that has loose fan belt. It really screamed, sent it back the same day haha.
@@imrileth6618 this is the reason why i returned mine.. i didnt want to believe all the videos online but its true...
@@imrileth6618 in silent bios it doesn't make enough noise to make me care, I haven't tried in OC bios
Yes and get on fire your house..... get an RTX and be happy
Imma be honest Daniel....... I love all of your videos, and I know it's not your fault, but it gets gard to care about cards above 500 usd. Still amazing comparison, and all of your in put is amazing and I know it's super helpful to those that are willing to pay at or above 500 usd. Much love dooder. Keep in keeping on. I'll always watch just because how informative and how realistic you're opinions are!
I bought used 7800xt for 420euro. Consider used market bro there are plenty of not sufficient satisfied and go from 7800xt to 7900xt. or changing to team green.
A $500 card is not bad in 2024...
Everything is up...
$500 Gpu are the new $300 dollars of past years.
A $500 dollar card in 2024 is not bad, but thats part of the problem. The 3080 was $600 and I believe the 4080 should be no more than $800
@@pR0ManiacS I just upgraded from a 2060 to a 3080 for only $280. I'm always looking at the used market.
Also i got a REALLY good deal as far as I can tell for Feb 2024
I actually like your videos, you test out most stuff even possible to test, that Said. If its not CSGO and stuff like that, 1080P is just a waste to use time on if you ask me, i allways skip those myself at least 😅
1080p on most monitors is actually still good. Having a card that can run 1440p and 4k at a good performance is great, but I usually try to prioritize performance for most games
AMD gave an Update for the 7900 GRE and it seems like the card getting 10% more Performance
Please overclock and undervolt it. I'd like to see what it can do with a memory overclock.
Atleast mine 68XT is pretty lousy mem overclocker something like +900mhz
Just got my GRE today....I thought Ray Tracing was going to cripple the card and be a miserable experience. I've only tried Resident Evil 2 so far, but Ultra/Max with Full RT @ 4K with no upscaling is pretty stunning....especially the 1%/0.1%... this degree of zero-stutter is the most impressive part, but admittedly I'm coming from a 3070
How easy is it to overclock the memory frequency? If you can match the 19.5GB/s from the 7800XT or even the 20GB/s of the 7900XT, the GRE should always be more like 15% faster than the 7800XT. I have no idea why the reference card is locked at 260W with 18GB/s ram.
As you can see with the R&C results, memory bandwidth is definitely a limiting factor, don't know why PowerColor didn't put faster memory or at least OC'ed them a bit.
It was unlocked on OC so GRE is now a good choice before the price goes up slightly
ok 50$ difference if you're lucky, but in my country the sellers increased it to 100$ difference. so is it still worth ?
Better will be 50$. 100& more is too much.
OF COURSE THIS RELEASES A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT 7800XT
Remember when max a GPU could be priced was 550-600 dollar at this point I do think they are doing improvements but instead of being like
"last years $300 GPU gave you 100 FPS now you get 135 FPS"
now it's like
"last year you got 100 FPS for $300 now it's 135 FPS for a $390, that's a 35% improvement with a 30% price jump, we are so kind I know" *pats himself on back.
The 7900 gre feels like a more reasonable successor to the rx 6800xt since amd claims the 7800xt was the successor to the rx 6800 non xt
Should lower the 7800xt to 450-70 and the 7700xt to 350
Great job as usual Daniel. Let's all sit down and think about how botched this generation of GPUs is. 4080 12GB=4070ti replaced by 4070ti super. 7900gre should have actually been 7800xt. CGE should have been the nomenclature for all these GPU this time around = Cash Grab Edition...
never been so early to a vid before only 1 minute since upload
Daniel I need quick answer or incoming Video about RX 6900XT Vs RX 7900 Gre because I have limited time and Have money to buy both for almost the same cost which one should I go
7900 GRE of course
I have 7800xt ... 7900gr is worth money but that not me 7800xt is had ... what I saying both are great 👍
I bought a 2060super in 2019 and it has served me well. I very much am interested in going to AMD, if only the economy would lighten up a bit
I got the 7800XT six months ago it's a good card with 16gb of ram, playing atm only 1080@240h so I'm ok with it. As you've said, get the GRE if you can, if not, the XT still good.
Imagine paying for more than 500 bucks and still can't play video games on Ultra without upscaling.
Crypto literally ruined gaming for gamers...
Big mad big big mad. I just got a 7800xt last month
Same boat😂
Ehh not too mad had a 2070 and the improvment was huge
@@dozergames2395I also just got 7800 xt and debating if return is worth
I got a 7800xt back in Nov for £507 and its awesome. But I don't use RT, I tend to play slightly older titles or single player games where a lower frame rate is acceptable and it does all that with rasterization in high/ultra at 1440p flawlessly.
What I would say - finding the cheapest price on pcpartpicker isn't the be all and end all. I value quality parts, from good brands with excellent warranties. So I'd always rather a sapphie nitro versus say a gainward GPU.
For my 2 cents - if you only buy on price, PC gaming probably isn't for you.
7900gre has great overcloacking
i'd love to see a GRE vs 6900XT/6950XT comparison, purely because of it being the same core count in both gpu's, as the 7800XT has the same amount of cores as the 6800.
You’re the only comparison man I trust
I subscribed cause your name is Daniel and I trust people named Daniel
Which one would you guys recommend for Sim Racing?
In particular Assetto Corsa Competizione.
basically 7900 GRE is a 7800xt overclocked -_-
Can you make a comparison between 6950 XT and 7900 GRE?
I like that it's a straight price to performance scaleing, but I still don't rethink it's worth it. I think the 7900 gre will hold it's value longer than the 7800 xt, like the 6800 xt did, if reselling is a concern.
The only Tech TH-camr that tests all UE5 stuff
Other than heavy ray tracing, the RTX-4070 Super is getting the pimp hand from the cheaper RX-7900GRE, however, it will even be more funny when the OC editions of the RX-7900GRE comes out. The GRE is a better value that the RX-7900XT, until you can get the RX-7900XT for $650 on the regular, then I would spend the extra $100 on the RX-7900XT without worrying about the RX-7900GRE. The RX-7700XT and RX-7800XT both need $25-$50 price drops.
GRE should be max 450 after taxes
Seeing the 7700xt getting a bit of a price cut was a nice surprise to see.
Please don't tell me it got a price cut. I was just about to sell mine since I swapped to Nvidia. :(
You should used the 24.2.1 drivers because mitigate the stuttering issue on a few games
What about 1080p with high RT or something? I'd like to see more variants with 1080
Let's just call it Rabit
$550 is still too MUCH for GRE !
Make it $500 (and the 7800XT $450ish) then the cards will fly away from the shelves... 👍
more like 450
here in the uk im guessing ,because our prices include tax) the 7900GRE will cost £660 , i got my rx 7800xt for £475. the GRE doesnt seem like a good deal for me
Hard to justify not shelling out $40 more for the same raster with Ray tracing and DLSS.
The GRE is poorly binned flagship navi31 while the 7800xt is a fully realized, 34% smaller die. This comparison would be very interesting with a 15%+ power limit
In reality, there's no such 7800xt at 500$ nor the GRE at 549, its like the 7800XT is 650$ and the GRE is 780$ from where I am at..lol AMD
I currently have a duo of 5600X and 6700XT. My first priority is frame per second.
Should I get 1 unit of 7900GRE?
Or, a 5700X3D and a 7800XT?
5700x3D and a 7800 XT, without a doubt.
keep in mind that the GRE was only supposed to be for china if you have issues with the naming convention. GRE is golden rabbit edition
the gre is cheaper in the uk
Can we please get comparison between the 7900GRE and the 4070 since those are the same price.😁
Terrible GPUs from all companies. Only 60fps 4K for £500, I expected that at the budget level £200 by now. 1440p gaming has been around over 10yrs...come on what they playing at. Rip off
Daniel are you gonna get them high refresh rate 4k monitors? And can i come by and game on it? :D
