AMD is gearing up to launch its next-generation Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs next month, and today the company shared more details about the cards' pricing, performance levels, and the new RDNA 3 GPU architecture that will power all of its graphics cards for the next couple of years.

The launch begins at the high end, with the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT. AMD will launch both of these GPUs on December 13, with the 7900 XTX starting at $999 and the XT starting at $899 (cards made by AMD’s partners will surely push these prices upward a bit). Both of these price tags undercut Nvidia’s RTX 4000 series, which starts at $1,599 for the top-tier GeForce RTX 4090 and $1,199 for the RTX 4080.

RDNA 3 GPUs will use many chiplets to counter Nvidia's gigantic RTX 4000 series.

Cheaper than most expected.

As for now, there's no direct performance comparison between the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX and NVIDIA RTX 4090.

You can take the below as quite accurate, besides the performance factor. I believe AMD performance will be less than NVIDIA. If it's just a few performance points behind, then it's not worth getting NVIDIA GPU

NVIDIA GeFORCE RTX 4090

PROS

1) IMO, better performance

CONS

1) More expensive
2) Higher power consumption @450W
3) Larger in physical size. Likely need a large case
4) No support for DP2.1

AMD RADEON RX 7900 XTX

PROS

1) Supports 8K@165fps and 4K@480fps. So far, highest 4K monitor has 360Hz refresh rate (by ASUS and MSI). 4K monitors with 480Hz refresh rate coming soon............likely next year

Super-fast 480Hz gaming monitors could be here by 2023, but do you need one?

These kind of displays do have a point, but will be a very niche proposition

2) Support for DP2.1. Monitors with DP2.1 will make their debut next year
3) Smaller in physical size. Can use current case.
4) Lower in power consumption @355W
5) Cheaper

CONS

1) IMO, lower in performance
2) Have issue with its drivers for the last few versions

A good watch here
