The Sapphire PULSE model, based on the Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU, is currently priced below $700 at two US retailers, affirming the trend of declining prices in the market. This reduction in price is particularly noteworthy as it opens up access to the US market for online purchasers, a departure from previous offers limited to in-store pickups at locations such as MicroCenter.
In response to AMD's price adjustment, retailers and board partners swiftly aligned with the new market conditions, offering the Radeon RX 7900 XT at reduced margins, with prices dropping as low as $709. As anticipated, the price threshold of $700 has been breached once again, making the RX 7900 XT an attractive proposition for budget-conscious gamers.
Equipped with the Navi 31 GPU boasting 5376 Stream Processors, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT was initially introduced in December 2022 with a price tag of $899. Its recent price revision coincides with the launch of NVIDIA's RTX 4080 SUPER, featuring 16GB of memory. However, the RX 7900 XT maintains a competitive edge with its larger 20GB memory capacity and a significantly lower price point, now reduced by $300.
