AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE is an RDNA 3.0 part built around the Navi 31 chip on TSMC's 5 nm process. The FACT PACK lists 57,700 million transistors on a 529 mm² die, a base clock of 1287 MHz, a game clock of 1880 MHz, and a boost clock of 2245 MHz. Its average benchmark score is 36101, placing it at the 80th percentile among all GPUs in the database, and its production status is Active.

How It Compares

Against the NVIDIA T1000, the RX 7900 GRE’s average benchmark score is 36101, while the T1000 averages 36282. The delta is -0.5%, meaning the T1000 holds a tiny lead in the dataset. These aggregate scores are close enough that the two cards should be treated as effectively tied in this metric.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X posts an average score of 36305, giving a delta of -0.6%. The RX 7900 GRE is again on the trailing side, but the gap is still less than one percentage point. It is not a meaningful separation in aggregate terms.

The AMD Radeon Pro Duo is the only nearest rival that the RX 7900 GRE leads. Its average score is 35860, and the delta is +0.7%. This is the largest positive margin in the nearest-rival group, though it remains under a full percentage point.

The AMD Radeon RX 5300M averages 36371, with the RX 7900 GRE sitting at a delta of -0.7% behind it. That is the largest negative delta among the nearest rivals. Overall, the RX 7900 GRE is bracketed by rivals on both sides, with deltas ranging from -0.7% to +0.7%.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The RX 7900 GRE includes 80 ray-tracing cores. The tensorCores field is null in the FACT PACK, so no tensor-core count is reported for comparison. API support covers DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, which makes the card compatible with current graphics APIs.

Shader resources include 5120 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 160 ROPs. Compute throughput is listed as 45.98 TFLOPS FP32 and 91.96 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1). The board also lists 1x HDMI 2.1a, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, and 1x USB Type-C outputs, with a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface.

The data does not include a ray-tracing benchmark score, so the 80 RT cores are the only direct ray-tracing specification available. The absence of a tensor-core count means any tensor-related comparison cannot be made from this FACT PACK.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem is built around 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit interface. The memory clock is 2250 MHz, cited as 18 Gbps effective, and total bandwidth is 576.0 GB/s. That combination gives the RX 7900 GRE a large framebuffer and a high transfer rate.

The card’s pixel rate is 359.2 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 718.4 GTexel/s, so the memory subsystem has to keep pace with substantial fill-rate demands. For high-resolution workloads, the 16 GB capacity allows for large texture sets, while the 576.0 GB/s bandwidth helps maintain throughput in memory-heavy scenes. The FACT PACK contains no resolution-specific benchmarks, so the effect at a given resolution can only be inferred from these capacity and bandwidth figures.

Who Should Consider It

At the 80th percentile among all GPUs, the RX 7900 GRE sits above the majority of the database. Its average benchmark score of 36101 and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4814 indicate a card aimed at modern DirectX 12 workloads. Geekbench OpenCL performance is 167913, while Geekbench Vulkan performance is 144142, showing strong compute performance across both APIs.

Passmark G3D score is 27089, which reinforces the card’s 3D strength. The lower Passmark G2D score of 1180 suggests 2D desktop acceleration is not where the card’s resources are concentrated. The 16 GB memory pool and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth make it a candidate for high-resolution texture budgets and data-heavy applications. Users who want a high-end RDNA 3.0 board with active production status and modern API support should consider this card.

Benchmark Performance

The average benchmark score of the RX 7900 GRE is 36101. Against its nearest rivals, the deltas are: NVIDIA T1000 -0.5%, NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X -0.6%, AMD Radeon Pro Duo +0.7%, and AMD Radeon RX 5300M -0.7%. These are extremely tight margins; no nearest rival is separated from the RX 7900 GRE by a full percentage point.

Individual benchmark scores provide additional context. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 4814. Geekbench OpenCL is 167913, while Geekbench Vulkan is 144142. The OpenCL result is higher than the Vulkan result, which may indicate stronger OpenCL throughput in this dataset. Passmark G3D is 27089 and Passmark GPU Compute is 15016, both pointing to solid graphics and compute output.

FP32 throughput is 45.98 TFLOPS and FP16 throughput is 91.96 TFLOPS (2:1), giving the card a substantial compute ceiling. The aggregate score of 36101 is the arithmetic center of the listed benchmarks, and the nearest rivals hover within the same narrow range.

Power and Cooling

The RX 7900 GRE carries a 260 W TDP. The suggested PSU is 600 W, and the board requires two 8-pin power connectors. Cooling is delivered in a dual-slot form factor.

The board measures 276 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 51 mm in width. These dimensions mean case clearance and power cable routing should be verified before installation. The active production status indicates the card remains in the current product stack.
