AMD’s new Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics cards may be more plentiful than recent reports might have suggested, according to a recent tweet from HardOCP’s Kyle Bennett, who revealed over the weekend that AMD plans to ship more than 200,000 of its first RDNA 3 “Navi 31” GPUs for gamers this quarter.
Over 30,000 reference cards will be on shelves on launch day, he added.
“Verified from multiple sources,” Bennett tweeted. “@amdradeon will ship over 200K 7900 XT and XTX GPUs in Q4. Over 30K reference cards on shelves on launch day.”

Some publications have pointed out that this number appears to be substantially greater than what NVIDIA has shipped so far for its GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4080 graphics cards, which are said to be around 160,000 units in total up until mid-November.
That number was reportedly split between 130,000 GeForce RTX 4090 and 30,000 GeForce RTX 4080 units.
AMD Radeon RX 7900 Series graphics cards are expected to be available from AMD.com beginning December 13, 2022, and from leading board partners beginning mid-December.
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX has an SEP of $999 USD, while the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT has an SEP of $899 USD.
