AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT drops to $699
The Sapphire PULSE model is currently below $700 at two US retailers.
Sapphire has lowered the price for its PULSE model based on Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU to $699. This is not the first the card has dropped to this level, but this is the first time such an offer is available for anyone living in the US for online purchases. The last time this had happened was in June through MicroCenter pickup option only.
Last month, AMD lowered the price for its Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU to $749, but retailers and, more importantly, board partners were quick to respond to this price cut by lowering their margins to $709. As expected, it was only a matter of time before we started seeing this price breaking the $700 barrier again.

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is equipped with the Navi 31 GPU, boasting 5376 Stream Processors. Launched in December 2022, this graphics card came with an official price tag of $899. This recent pricing adjustment happened shortly after NVIDIA introduced its RTX 4080 SUPER, featuring 16GB of memory.
A key advantage of the RX 7900 XT lies in its larger 20GB memory capacity and much lower price tag (now by $300). The card is only 10 to 15% slower in most gaming benchmarks in comparison. At this price, the card is also $100 cheaper than the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, which, according to reviews, matches RX 7900XT in most games.
