AMD’s Custom Radeon RX 7900 XT Price Drops US$150 Below Its MSRP in China
The VASTARMOR Starry Sky Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card is a custom variant designed for the Asia Pacific market. The custom graphics card, part of the company’s new RDNA 3 line, offers a Navi 31 XT graphics core. The chip includes 84 Computing Units, equal to 5,376 cores. The graphics card has lower clock speeds of 2.0 GHz, about 300 MHz less than its XTX version. The card carries 20 GB of GDDR6 memory capacity through a 320-bit bus interface. There is also the Infinity Cache, which sits at 80 MB, a difference of 16 MB from the higher variant.
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT version of VASTARMOR customized model graphics card uses metal back plates, strengthening the body and high quality PCB boards. The graphics card is decorated in black and red with a triple fan cooling design with support for smart start and stop. It is also reported to offer RGB breathing effects with its red, blue and yellow lights.
The VASTARMOR models share the same computing units as AMD’s original model, with 20 GB of GDDR6 graphics memory, a 320-bit wide bus interface, and memory speeds exceeding 20 Gbps. The maximum bandwidth is expected to reach 800 GB/s. Like the AMD model, the VASTARMOR RX 7900 XT rounds off with a dual eight-pin power connector. This is much different than NVIDIA’s power connector, which is double the pins of rival AMD. The TBP on the model is 355W, which is an increase from previous generations. The VASTARMOR RX 7900 XT also supports 4K UHD, HDMI, and PCIe 4.0 connectivity.
Chinese online retailer JD.com is selling the VASTARMOR AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU Starry Sky Edition with 20 GB GDDR6 memory for 6399 RMB, which is 1000 RMB lower than its official Chinese MSRP of 7399 RMB, so that’s a $150 reduction in US terms prices This appears to be exclusive to the Asian PC marketplace and is unlikely to be sold by an American retailer unless sold as used or by a second-hand or third-party seller online.
