It's the pre-Prime Day sales period as many online stores compete to tempt shoppers before the sales properly begin next week. Amazon's exclusive sales event for Prime members, the Prime Big Deals sale kicks off at midnight on Tuesday, October 10, lasting 48 hours until the end of Wednesday, October 11. But, before that, we are already seeing some deals pop up on some of the best GPUs from AMD.

Our first GPU deal sees the Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7900 XT on sale for $729 thanks to a promotional offer when you use code TECCXA347 at the checkout over at Newegg. 

Over at Amazon, PowerColor's AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is on sale for $749. The second of our 7900 XTs comes with 20GBs of VRAM and a boost clock speed of 2400 MHz.

Use code TECXA33 to receive a $20 discount on the PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7900 XTX, making it $889. This is AMD's most powerful GPU offering at the moment and will help you play the latest games at max settings, even on 4K.

    Did TH really give the 7900 XTX 40½ stars?

    I wish they'd release 7900 GRE outside of China. It'd be nice to have something between the 7800 XT and 7900 XT.

    Why would anyone buy a 4.5-star XT for $800 if they can buy a 40.5-star XTX for mere $250 more? You'd have to be pretty dumb not to jump on that 800% star increase, if you ask me!

    Hardware Unboxed benchmarked it and IIRC it's pretty much 7800XT for China.

    It's weird, though. Why wouldn't they just sell the regular 7800XT in China? It's cheaper.

    After I wrote that, I did take a second look at the specs - and they're pretty weird. From Wikipedia, here are the specs where they differ:

    Model
    (Codename)Launch Date
    PriceTransistors
    Die SizeCore ConfigClock:
    Base
    TurboTexture
    (GT/s)Pixel
    (GP/s)fp32:

    431.026.01
    45.98225057618000260 W
    So, it has 33.3% more compute elements, but only memory 92.3% as much memory bandwidth. This gives me the feeling that either some popular games in China are much more compute-bound, or that maybe it's a stealth compute card.

    To the latter point, although the power numbers are about the same, look at how much lower the 7900 GRE's clocks are! If it overclocks well, it could perhaps make good on that compute element ratio.

    Anyway, at stock settings, I think you're right that they probably don't perform differently enough to get too bothered over it. If I waited and scored a good deal on a RX 7800 XT, it could be a much better value.

    Not sure about the specifics, the Chinese market is weird and I take it AMD knows better than I do. It could be just their way of making them feel special?
    And although it is not my place to tell you what to buy, if you were willing to go as high as paying for the 7900 GRE why not see if you can get a good deal on Black Friday for a 7900 XT?
