Introduction
The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT was launched on September 6th, 2023 providing RDNA 3 graphics performance for gaming on the PC aiming at the 1080p gaming experience. The Radeon RX 7700 XT is a partner-driven video card, meaning there is no made-by-AMD card, it is up to add-in-board partners (AIBs) to provide Radeon RX 7700 XT’s, and also create multiple SKUs of specifications under the banner of keeping close to AMD’s suggested retail pricing as possible.
The Radeon RX 7700 XT initially had an MSRP (suggest pricing) of $449, meaning it was just $50 shy of the Radeon RX 7800 XT at $499. This $50 difference, confused many, with pricing being so close. Well, that has now been resolved, now 5 months later, AMD is officially dropping the suggested pricing on the Radeon RX 7700 XT to $419 starting February 26th, 2024.
AMD Has This To Say:
“Gamers looking for an incredible high-performance, feature-rich graphics card to power demanding games and content creation applications can take advantage of new pricing for the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT graphics card – enabling pricing as low as $419 USD SEP, over $30 less than original SEP, beginning on Monday, Feb. 26.“
