AMD's 'new' trimmed-down RX 7900 GRE GPU officially went on sale in the U.S. today. The move to make the Radeon RX 7900 GRE globally available comes nearly one year after its release, ending its Chinese and 'OEM/pre-built-only' exclusivity. The 7900 GRE is now available in the U.S. starting at $549, slotting in between the RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 XT which are some of the best graphics gards for gaming.

For full details on the GPU itself and its performance, be sure to check out our review. Sapphire, PowerColor, Asus, Gigabyte, XFX, and ASRock have cards available and on sale right now, with MSI being the only brand so far that's missing the action. Here's the rundown of the various models.

    Looking at the performance reviews from Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus, this card's existence is completely pointless. It's $50 more expensive than the RX 7800 XT for what amounts to pretty much the same performance.

    I honestly don't know why AMD bothered.

    It's another cheaper card with 16GB AMD at least has that going for them, how many 16GB GPU's does AMD have for sale compared to Nvidia right now?

    Because it's 5~10 percent faster, and that makes it look a bit better in the benchmarks? RTX 4070 was matching or beating the 7800 XT, so adding a bit more performance makes things look better.

    Also because there are probably enough Navi 31 GCDs that either don't have enough functional CUs (maybe), or with more than one defective MCD link (also maybe), or perhaps with some other defect that prevents them from being sold as a 7900 XT.

    aside from gaming there would surely be an nice uplift in stable diffusion ONNX or AI related work loads because it has way more shaders?

    Stable Diffusion (on AMD at least) ended up being pretty seriously bandwidth limited in my testing.

    hmm gets cained by the 4070 ....

    Maybe the 16GB wouldn't win me over after all.

    have hand it to Nvidia they are well ahead, One day I'll get my hands on a RTX4070 it might not be the current gen by the time I can afford one although would still be a nice card to own.

    Yeah, I suppose. It's just that it's also 10% more expensive so that makes it pretty underwhelming overall. If it were just 15% faster than it is, it would be more at a mid-point between the RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 XT which I believe would make it considerably more exciting than it is. A lot of the numbers that I saw from Hardware Unboxed were single-digit FPS increases (some being VERY LOW single-digit increases) and that was pretty disappointing.
    brOSJF9eonwI honestly expected that the RX 7900 GRE would've been at least 15% faster than the RX 7800 XT (putting it at that magic midpoint between the 7800 XT and 7900 XT) but, to be fair, since the GRE came out so long ago and the 7800 XT came out so recently, I had long forgotten the performance numbers of the GRE.

    I get that, I'm just not sure that AMD is doing enough to make these cards palatable to consumers. Paying 10% more for 5-10% more performance would probably strike most people as just not worth it because it doesn't take any games that are unplayable on the 7800 XT and make them playable. The difference between them would be imperceptible, except the extra $50 missing from the wallet. ;)

    oh sorry how was stable diffusion configured? or what version was just stable diffusion ML? or was it run using the ONNX optimized version?

    I tested 2 versions one was stable diffusion ML but the other was the master version on GIT HUB that version allows you to optimize models with ONNX within the webui and with that version my old amd card more than doubled it speed compared to the normal WebuiML that pull's and installs ONNX as part of the install package but didnt have the options to optimize models within the webui

    my installs were done in CMD using git hub to pull the ML version and the master version was the version that is a zipped file on github basicly the zipped version here

    https://github.com/lshqqytiger/stable-diffusion-webui-directml
    For it to work you have to Install and use an older version of python, python version 3.10.6 beacuse something to do with pytorch i think cant remember now it been a little while since I messed around with it, but if you have a newer version of python set up and configured it probs not worth messing around but I dont know I'm just a noob. you probs know way more than me about it.

    Yes, ishqqytiger is the version I used on AMD. You have to "recompile" or whatever the ONNX model for each different GPU. Lots of fun! But you have to do something similar for Nvidia's latest TensorRT stuff.

    See that's the problem, though: 10% more money for 10% more performance is actually a good deal overall. I mean, look at how many parts are 50% more money for 10% more performance, or at least less than 20%. And it's not just GPUs, it's CPUs, SSDs, memory, etc. I need to figure out a good way to generate a table or chart for this, as I have all the data in my spreadsheets...
