AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XT has now dropped to just $679.99 at Amazon, making the flagship SKU by Team Red compelling consumers to buy. The discounted variant is the XFX Speedster MERC310, one of the higher-end ones in the whole RDNA 3 lineup, boasting impressive performance and cooling capabilities.

Diving a bit into the technicals, AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XT is a "beast" when it comes to 4K and 8K gaming performance. This is not just because of specifications such as 20 GB VRAM and boost clocks of up to 2394 MHz; this particular GPU model almost becomes a 'steal of a deal under its discounted pricing. When you look at the main NVIDIA competitor of the Radeon RX 7900 XT, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER comes to mind, but that, too, in no way can match the GPU, especially in terms of the price-to-performance ratio being offered by this particular package.

With technologies such as FSR 3 and Fluid Motion Frames, you can quickly push any game's visual settings to the maximum configuration without ever worrying about frame rates. In terms of the variant being offered, XFX's Speedster MERC310 has a triple-fan cooling system, with the GPU being able to run up to a clock speed of 2,535MHz. The thermal draw power is rated around 315W, and according to AMD, if you plan to upgrade to the Radeon RX 7900 XT, you will need a 750W power supply as the minimum, so that's something important to keep in mind.

Given that we are now in the era of next-gen GPU launches, we will certainly see such price reductions for previous-gen GPUs; hence, now might be the best time to snag one, and the discounted AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is one of the more impressive options to get right now. However, these deals don't last very long, considering that the demand around the holiday season is also at its peak.
