They just updated the drivers to allow proper memory overclocking. Now it performs better than a 3090 ti in many games when overclocked. Pretty impressive for $540

They did just update the drivers to increase the memory overclocking headroom and TechPowerUp has it within 1% of the 3090 Ti in TimeSpy Extreme GT1. I'm guessing that's best case scenario, but it's definitely closer now (and within 5% of the 7900 XT.) It's still going to struggle with any raytracing titles, FSR still isn't as good as DLSS and Frame Gen isn't there yet either (though the 3090 doesn't have that either.)

Not bad for $540 though.

More than twice as good.

Isn't that a little deceptive?

The 3090 Ti is 2% faster on 1080p, which is hardly the market for these kinds of cards… but you also left out the 4k comparison, which is 16% difference - certainly not a negligible difference.

I don't think you are going to overcome an 8gb memory deficit with a driver update and some overlocking.

Not trying to be an asshole, but it doesn't look great to post a source and only highlight the part of it that fits your narrative.
Hardware Unboxed also did a new update video and found that the overclock at 4K was a substantial improvement. Their 12 game average went from 60 fps for a base clocked GRE to 70. Which is absolutely within spitting distance of a 3090 Ti (which is still better but by like 5%). Not sure how much the 3090 Ti overclocks. Obviously 24gb vram is nice though. That said cheapest I can find a 3090 Ti is like refurbished for 800 if you have a microcenter nearby. This thing is 550, so the value here is significantly higher.

Edit: caveat emptor: your mileage may vary on overclocking. No guarantee getting the same over clock HUB got.

How does this compare to the 4070 and its various ti/super trims? I appreciate the price and 16gb

It's funny to see an Nvidia fanboy trying to say VRAM is important when they have been defending getting scalped for VRAM on 3080 and 4070 over the years.

While 24GB is nice, you can't expect that for $540. 16GB would be the bare minimum for modern AAA gaming.

Tom's hierarchy has it somewhere between a 4070 Super and 4070 Ti for traditional raster games before overclocking, and between a 4060 Ti and 4070 in raytraced titles (where AMD struggle most.)

This model only has 2 fans so overclocking may be limited. However, just like the 7900 XT AMD card, this one has a FULL COMPLEMENT of RT cores (no RT cores are disabled) so it actually outperforms relatively speaking in ray tracing! Testing on other models indicates an ability to overclock this GPU by at least 10%, to get very close to 7900 xt performance levels (within 10% of 7900xt), for 23% less money. I rushed over here to enter the slick deal and found that someone else already saw it !!

Get this card !!

last week's zip discount brought 7900 XT and 7900 GRE to less than $50 difference. both were less than $500

There's a lot more to GPU performance than raw raster fill rates in artificial benchmarks.
no. There isn't.
raw raster performance is a good indicator of the cards game performance

have a 6950xt but from the looks of the posted review it's basically identical in performance to the 6950xt, so i guess that's a pass for me since better raytracing isn't worth the hassle of selling it and paying the difference.

Tom's Hardware has the 4k 8 game average at 69.3fps. Please tell me more about how unplayable that is.


This is 100% a "budget" 4k card. Future proof? No, but with a couple unoptimized exceptions this can play nearly everything current at 4k/60.

I think the RX 7900 GRE is one of the slicker deals in graphics cards right now, but this is literally $10 off MSRP. We're talking about a <2% discount. The cashback on your credit card might be more substantial than the savings here.

Why is this FP on SD?

My 3090 Kingpin still serving me fine. Itll be another generation or two before I upgrade. Hopefully GPU performance will increase and price decrease

Even funnier that your first point is an ad hominem attack, and the rest is a straw man argument. Shill much?

I'm not suggesting everyone should spend an extra $300 on a better card, but to say the two are directly comparable is simply deceptive. People should be able to make their own choices based on actual data, not someone spewing crap about fanboys and unrelated products.

I was surprised to hear that AMD didn't think to come out with this when releasing it to the rest of the world. Some models are better for OC'ing than others. You'll need to be okay with more heat and noise for this one.
