Acer recently unveiled its Nitro Shadow Knight RX 7800 XT graphics card in China, first revealed at the CES 2024 event. This new graphics card is a part of Acer's lineup but stands out due to its overclocked capabilities and an improved cooling system, setting it apart from the typical RX 7800 XT models. The Nitro Shadow Knight RX 7800 XT comes packed with 60 AMD RDNA 3 cores and boasts a core clock speed of up to 2565 MHz, which is a step above the usual 2430 MHz found in standard RX 7800 XT models.

In addition to this, the card includes 60 ray accelerators and 120 AI accelerators, supported by 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. The total power consumption for this graphics card is 281 Watts, which is a bit higher than the 263 Watts typical of the standard model. The card measures 279 x 129.62 x 50.42 millimeters and utilizes a 2.5-slot design with dual fans for cooling. This design aims to make the card quieter by reducing noise by 2.4 decibels and improving airflow by up to 9.7 percent.

The price of the Nitro Shadow Knight RX 7800 XT will play a significant role in its market success, especially if Acer decides to launch it in the U.S. With RTX 4070 and 4070 Super models often priced above $550, and other RX 7800 XT versions available for around $480, a competitive price for the Shadow Knight RX 7800 XT would be $500 or less. This pricing strategy would make it a compelling choice within AMD's own product range.

As of the moment, there has been no official word on whether the Nitro Shadow Knight RX 7800 XT will be released in the EU/U.S. market, even though it was showcased at CES. The card's reception and success in the market will largely depend on how it is priced, especially given the current landscape of high-priced aftermarket cards.
