AMD has another new GPU that it says can beat the RTX 4060 Ti

A new RDNA 2 GPU in 2023? While it sounds unlikely, it’s true. MSI has just introduced a few prebuilt gaming desktops equipped with various AMD processors and graphics cards, and one of them is the previously unreleased Radeon RX 6750 GRE, which stands for “Golden Rabbit Edition.” While it may not rival some of the best GPUs, rumor has it that it’ll at least beat Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti while being just a little pricier than the RTX 4060.

Gigabyte has actually beaten MSI to the punch with the announcement, having revealed its own RX 6750 GRE graphics card first. However, while the Gigabyte GPU is set to be released on October 18, MSI already has a bunch of desktops up for grabs, although we’re not seeing a DIY card that you could put into your own system. It just comes as part of MSI’s prebuilts, which were first spotted by ITHome and later shared by VideoCardz.

The exact specs of the card are a mystery, but we know that it’ll sport 12GB of VRAM, which is the same as the RX 6750 XT. MSI stated that the new GPU will be comparable in performance to the RTX 4060 Ti, which most likely means the 8GB version. Even if not, it’s all the same, as the 16GB model has comparable (or worse) performance.

In MSI’s case, the GPU comes in systems where it’s paired with some of AMD’s top processors, such as the Ryzen 7 7700X or the Ryzen 5 7500F. The listing claims that the 7700X model comes with 16GB of DDR4 memory, but that doesn’t sound right, as the AM5 platform doesn’t support DDR4 at all. It’s safe to assume MSI meant DDR5 for both configurations. We’re likely looking at a cutdown Navi 22 chip here, so the RX 6750 XT will still remain more powerful.

It’s hard to judge a GPU inside a prebuilt based on pricing, but according to the prices at a Chinese retailer, the RX 6750 GRE and the RTX 4060 are both very close in price. The AMD offering is only around 2% to 4% more expensive, which is a very reasonable increase if it can offer the performance of the RTX 4060 Ti.

So, what’s the catch? The GRE in the RX 6750 GRE stands for “Golden Rabbit Edition,” as the GPU was named in celebration of the Year of the Rabbit in China. You guessed it — this is a China exclusive. It could end up being an interesting blast from the past and a solid budget GPU, but we’re unlikely to ever see it hit the global market.

Leaked images of an AMD GPU have me wishing it was real
A leaked RX 9070 XT reference card.

A new leak shows clear images of what could've been one of AMD's best graphics cards -- the reference version of the RX 9070 XT. AMD said that it didn't make its own version, also known as Made By AMD (MBA), which is why it's such a surprise to see one such card in the flesh. I'm not sure if this is a real GPU, but if it is, I know that I wish it made it to market.

The leaked photos surfaced on Bilibili earlier this morning. They show what appears to be an RX 9070 XT GPU, in a full-black shroud, in a sealed bag. It sports three fans, but little else can be gathered from these images.

AMD takes lead over Nvidia, but how long will it last?
An Asus RX 9070 XT TUF GPU.

While both AMD and Nvidia make some of the best graphics cards, pitting the two against each other usually reveals that Nvidia dominates the GPU market with an over 80% share. However, a new survey revealed that, at least in the recent weeks, many gamers preferred to go with AMD when buying a GPU. But how long will this surprising lead even last?

AMD’s RX 9070 XT beats Nvidia’s $1,000+ GPU, but there’s a catch
Fans on the RTX 5080.

AMD's RX 9070 XT hit the shelves last week, and the response has been largely positive. The GPU was expected to perform on around the same level as Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti, making it capable of beating some of the best graphics cards. However, a known overclocker just managed to push the GPU to new heights, helping it beat Nvidia's $1,000+ RTX 5080.

Der8auer took the RX 9070 XT out for an extensive spin and achieved interesting results. Prior to launch, many thought the RX 9070 XT would rival the RTX 5070 at best, but now, we've seen it beating not just the RTX 5070 Ti but also the RTX 5080 in today's test. The catch? Not only did Der8auer use a premium card, but the GPU was also overclocked and undervolted.
