[Hardware] AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU Sees DIY Availability in Europe With Prices Starting at €720

[Angel of Death]

AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU finally sees its DIY debut in European markets after months of limited availability through system integrators. AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU Hits DIY Market In Europe, 100 Euros More Expensive Than 7800 XT The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE (Golden Rabbit Edition) was introduced in China a few months ago as a global launch. AMD disclosed that the Radeon RX 7900 GRE global availability will be confined to "selected" PC builders only, which disappointed several users who wanted to get hold of the GPU as they had to purchase a whole PC to get the card. However, after being sold in pre-built PCs for a good few months, the GPU is finally available in DIY in Europe. AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GRE GPU has been listed by individual retailers in Spain and Romania, suggesting that the DIY availability is indeed promising in the region. In terms of pricing, the Spanish retailer PCComponentes has listed the GPU at €719.90 / USD $761, while the Romanian retailer PCGarage is selling the GPU at 3.699,99 RON/ USD $787. AMD disclosed a USD $649 MSRP of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE at launch, hence the above-mentioned listings are certainly quite higher. However, it is relatively still better priced than the higher-end AMD offerings from the same store. If we talk about specifications, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE features a cut-down Navi 31 GPU with 80 RDNA 3 compute units or 5120 stream processors which is slightly reduced versus the 7900 XT with 84 compute units or 5376 stream processors along with a slimmed-down VRAM and memory configuration of 256-bit along with 16 GB GDDR6 capacities. The card is meant to compete against NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 Ti which retails at a higher price point of $799 US.

An important point to note is that since AMD "officially" doesn't sell the Radeon RX 7900 GRE separately in the global markets, the stores currently offering the GPU are importing it in bulk from China, which is why it won't come with the traditional AMD packaging, rather an ordinary box, which is usually for replacement GPUs. Moreover, the T&C regarding the warranty from AMD hasn't been defined yet for global regions, but the Spanish retailer is offering a complete 2-year warranty, hence you shouldn't be hesitant opting for the GPU.
