[Hardware] AMD responds to NVIDIA and lowers the price of its Radeon graphics

[Dean Ambrose™]

As you all already know, NVIDIA has just launched the first of the current generation SUPER graphics cards on the market, the RTX 4070 SUPER that we have already analyzed on this website, while next week the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will arrive and the next one, finally the RTX 4080 SUPER. And it seems that these launches have stung AMD because they have just officially announced the price reduction of some of their Radeon graphics, including one that, strangely enough, we cannot buy in Europe. We tell you everything.

It is clear that the launch of the RTX 40 SUPER by NVIDIA has not only been to fill out its catalog, but it has also been a strategic move by eliminating two models from its graphics offering and lowering another; The result is that they have a fairly homogeneous catalog and that truly puts their gaming graphics cards within everyone's reach depending on their budget. And of course, it seems that this movement has set off alarms at AMD...

Price reduction on some AMD Radeon
The fact is that just a few minutes ago we received an announcement from AMD's press agency in Spain to inform us that the company has decided to officially lower the price of some of its graphics cards, although it is true that the movement was missed. It seems a little strange and we are going to explain why right away.

To start, the recommended retail price of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT drops by €100, meaning we can find it at a price starting at €799 from now on. Be careful because this only affects the XT model, since the RX 7900 XTX still costs €999. On the other hand, Lisa Su's company has also announced a €100 discount on the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE, which will cost €570 from now on. The strange thing about this is that this graphic is only sold individually in China, and to the rest of the world it only comes included in OEM equipment from assemblers... in other words, we cannot buy it as is.

In this way and as you can see, AMD places its second most powerful graphics to date (at the expense of seeing if they launch the rumored Radeon RX 7950 XT or not) at a price that improves on the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, which as you well know has been announced at €889 (it must also be said that AMD says that the RX 7900 end up at a price similar to that of NVIDIA), but with a performance that in theory will be higher (also waiting to see the performance of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER).

Free games, as always
Finally, AMD has also informed us that from now until January 30, players will receive a digital copy of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora for free when they purchase some AMD Ryzen processor or some select AMD Radeon graphics (i.e. They do not give you the game with all of them but only with some models, so if you are interested we recommend that you find out if the game is included or not before purchasing).
