News Entry-level RDNA 3 RX 7400, RX 7300 graphics cards purportedly coming soon

[Admin]

AMD is reportedly developing two new GPUs for the entry-level market, the RX 7400 and RX 7300. Both will be equipped with the Navi 33 die.

If the price is right (very low and on sale, not whatever the asinine MSRP will be), I might buy it. Especially with 6-8 GB. And it hopefully isn't severely limited in lanes/decoder if it's based on Navi 33.

I've got systems with UHD 630 graphics that I could upgrade. I only need to check if I can use over 75W or not.

Remember when 6500 XT dropped to about $100 with a free game? Let's see that and maybe I'll buy two.

A380 6GB at $120. Fully featured. So the RX7300 had better be comparable. With the RX 6600 often at $190, even the A580 at $170, not much room for the the RX7400, at $150 maybe.

Perhaps an OEM only option?

Hey, as long as the price is right, and it retains support for H.264, H.265, and AV1 encode/decode, I am all ears.

Agree. I think this would be great as a bare-minimum option for H.264 encoding. Always excited for the lower end of the spectrum to be filled out by AMD, even if the bulk of the impact will come when these cards are older and/or cheaper.

RX 7300 seams like it would be mostly OEM and common in HH-HL configurations. RX 7400 might work for HH-HL as well if TBP is 75W, though it seems like it might be slotting in closer to 100W if the RX 7500 is at 130W.

I agree. The RX 6400/6500 was really good for nothing apart from being able to display images on the screen. Sure it can do some very light games, but it’s way to cut down in terms of specs and features. I feel the Intel A380 was a much better card since it’s feature rich despite its poor gaming performance.

If it's is priced right and can perform better than the 8000 "G" series, I'd be interested as well! No so much for games. But just to have a AM5 entry level builds that I can upgrade down the road. If these don't beat the graphics on the 8600g and 8700g, I don't see many people being interested.

The RX 6500 XT has 16 CUs RDNA2 (the full Navi 24 die), RX 6400/6300 has 12 CUs.

780M graphics in the 8700G has 12 CUs RDNA3, 760M in the 8600G has 8 CUs.

780M graphics is usually slower than the 6500 XT, with some exceptions when the 6500 XT is limited by PCIe 3.0.

The Navi 33 die has 32 CUs. Even if they disable it to 12-16 CUs in hypothetical RX 7200/7300, it should be able to match or beat the 780M, unless low VRAM causes severe issues. At 24 CUs, no problem.

An RX 7400 with 24 CUs, PCIe 4.0 x8, and 6 GB VRAM, should be substantially better than the 6500 XT. Even an RX 7300 with 16 CUs and 4 GB could be better.

I might have to look into this when I get all my components for my next build. I'm not planning on heavy gaming until I get a 4070 super or 5070 (if it isn't too expensive). So I'm just needing something to get me by for another couple months or so. But I'd still like to dabble in some Fallout 4 and others like that. But for now, I still have my UM690s with 6900hx and 680m graphics. Lol, so anything would be better than that ATM.

I have a sinking feeling that these cards are going to be just as bad as the RX 6500 XT and RX 6400. Speaking of which, why is there no RX 7500? It doesn't make sense to have an RX 7300, RX 7400 and then jump straight to the RX 7600.

The problem with making cards at this extremely low level a good value is the fixed costs involved with the production of the cards themselves. Sapphire, XFX or Powercolor could be getting the silicon for free but the cost of PCB, labour, power connectors, etc. still have to be addressed and if the performance is abysmal (which it will be), then the cards are just not worth producing in the first place.

I 100% agree with @Eximo that these cards are going to have to be competitive with the A380 if anyone is going to take them seriously without them being $<100 (which we know they won't be). I doubt that I'll change my recommendation that the only card that anyone should consider below $300CAD is the RX 6600.

I would be willing to bet that these cards would be far more popular with system OEMs like Dell than DIY pc builders.

'RX 7500' dies are basically consumed by the mobile RX7600M and RX7600S. They have little reason to divert chips away from that, as the RX6600 does comfortably fill that spot.
