The GRE model, also known as the Golden Rabbit Edition was supposedly exclusive for the China market last year to compete against the GeForce RTX 4070.<\/p>\n<p>However, NVIDIA has already replaced it with the RTX 4070 SUPER and it&#8217;s the year of the dragon now, so AMD&#8217;s global release for Radeon RX 7900 GRE is somewhat awkward at this point. Still, we compared it against both RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 SUPER just to find out what this card is capable of.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7900 GRE vs RTX 4070 vs RTX 4070 SUPER\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QstVP5esMlE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

You can still power the card with a 650W power supply as long as you know what you&#8217;re doing. The card still uses 2 x PCIe 8-pin connectors, of course, which makes it compatible with older power supplies, unlike the 12VHWPR header which NVIDIA now enforces on its newer GPUs.<\/p>\n<p><img

While path tracing is also available on Cyberpunk 2077, it&#8217;s not enabled by default when you select the highest ray tracing preset.

Unsurprisingly, the higher-performance RX 7900 GRE has a higher recorded power draw than both the RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 SUPER, which is at 200W and 220W respectively.<\/p>\n<p>As for thermals, the Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 GRE is definitely on the higher side. With GPU load temperature peaked at 78\u00b0C, alongside the memory junction and hotspot temperature peaked at 96\u00b0C and 89\u00b0C respectively, you might want to consider increasing the fan curve to improve the cooling performance.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>From the test results, ray tracing performance is something the RX 7900 GRE still lacks when compared to the RTX 4070 but the situation is slowly improving right now. The raster performance is pretty okay in general and can be seen doing better than the RTX 4070 and RTX 4070 SUPER. Compared to what we&#8217;ve seen on the Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs, ray tracing performance has greatly improved on the Radeon RX 7000 series but the GeForce cards are still the clear winner in this category. However, you can still take advantage of AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) for a quick performance boost without having to enable ray tracing at all.<\/p>\n<p>Like it or not, ray tracing is here to stay but at least things are looking better for AMD with FSR3, notably AFMF which puts Radeon cards in a much better position when competing against GeForce cards. However that only applies to titles that have the feature supported as not every game has it, especially older titles that only have DLSS.<\/p>\n<p>So, is the RX 7900 GRE worth getting? For the price of $549, it&#8217;s not a bad price but I believe there will be users who are willing to spend that $50 more to get an RTX 4070 SUPER for DLSS3 and better ray tracing performance. If you&#8217;re mainly looking for the better raster performance for the money you&#8217;re paying (which I think a lot of people still do) or maybe, are okay with enabling AFMF for the extra performance gain, the RX 7900 GRE is something you can still look into.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17109\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/review-imperion-dragon-breath-s600-gaming-mouse\/tech-critter-bronze\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Bronze-e1513687582653.png\" data-orig-size=\"100,146\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tech Critter Bronze\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Tech Critter Bronze&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Bronze-271x397.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Bronze-271x397.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17109 lazyload\" title=\"Tech Critter Bronze\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Bronze-e1513687582653.png\" alt=\"Tech Critter Bronze\" width=\"100\" height=\"146\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"17109\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/review-imperion-dragon-breath-s600-gaming-mouse\/tech-critter-bronze\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Bronze-e1513687582653.png\" data-orig-size=\"100,146\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Tech Critter Bronze\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Tech Critter Bronze&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Bronze-271x397.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Bronze-271x397.png\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17109 lazyload\" title=\"Tech Critter Bronze\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tech-critter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Tech-Critter-Bronze-e1513687582653.png\" alt=\"Tech Critter Bronze\" width=\"100\" height=\"146\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2>Where to buy?
