This promotion seems to be either PowerColor’s or Newegg’s initiative, since AMD hasn’t announced anything to that effect. Nevertheless, it has to be said that lowering the price of this model wouldn’t be a bad thing. With only a $50 MSRP differential with the RX 7800 XT, this model is clearly not AMD’s most popular card. On its launch day, the 7800 XT was sold out by the palletful, while the 7700 XT remained on the shelf.
At $350, the card is clearly positioning itself very aggressively on the market, and posing a serious threat to NVIDIA’s 4060 Ti. In fact, AMD’s card offers superior performance to the Chameleon’s card, while offering 12 GB of VRAM in a sector where only cards with 8 GB of memory are available.
