This powerful Gigabyte RX 7900 GRE can be yours for £516 from Quzo right now

AMD at its best, for less.

AMD's RX 7900 GRE is one of the best cards of Team Red's latest run of cards, and takes it to both the RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti, as well as the new Super models of each in our testing. It's a seriously powerful card for the asking price, especially considering this reduction from Quzo, which brings this initially China-only card down to the lowly price of £516.

In our review, we noted the RX 7900 GRE to be perhaps the most compelling card in AMD's RDNA 3 lineup, offering good performance in RT titles including Control, where at 1440p, the RX 7900 GRE offers a result that's especially close to the RTX 4070. Moving away from RT, the non ray-traced benchmark of Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p actually revealed the RX 7900 GRE to garner a better result (91.4fps) than Nvidia's own RTX 4070 Ti Super (81.92fps), as well as the standard 4070 Ti (78.32fps) and 4070 Super (58.18fps). Bumping things up to 4K, the RX 7900 GRE in Forza Horizon 5 offers a ten percentange point lead over the 4070 Super and a seventeen percentage point lead over the standard 4070. In essence, you're getting a card that offers RTX 4070 performance in RT-based workloads and superior performance to its Super variant in non-RT workloads for less than Nvidia's comparable newer card.

The bump up to 16GB of VRAM also helps the RX 7900 GRE along nicely, comparing well against the 4070 Ti Super's comparable amount, as well as the 4070 Super's 12GB. In addition, it's utilising a 256-bit bus compared to Nvidia's 192-bit one, as well as offering solid rasterization performance. While it isn't a card that'll beat Nvidia in all corners, AMD has certainly given it a good go, making a card that's a compelling option against Team Green in a variety of workloads. As for ports, this XFX variant features a singular HDMI 2.1 port, as well as a pair of DP 2.1 ports for futureproofing. It also supports AV1 decoding and encoding, which is handy for intense content creation workloads, and makes this a card a fantastic all-rounder for powerful PC builds.

For those after AMD's latest GPU for less, this deal from Quzo is not to be missed, especially for a solid performer at both 1440p and 4K in a range of titles.
