In a surprise move, AMD has quietly listed the Radeon RX 7700 on its official site as of September 18, 2025, without a formal announcement, MSRP, or release date. This new RDNA 3 graphics card targets 1440p gaming and streaming, slotting just below the RX 7700 XT in AMD’s lineup.
Specs at a Glance
- Architecture: RDNA 3
- VRAM: 16GB GDDR6 @ 19.5 Gbps
- Memory Interface: 256-bit
- Infinity Cache: 40MB
- Board Power: 263W
- Connectors: Dual 8-pin
- Display Outputs: DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1
- Form Factor: 267mm length, 2.5-slot design
Performance vs RX 7700 XT
AMD’s internal benchmarks show the RX 7700 trailing the XT variant by 16–19% across popular titles:
| Game | RX 7700 XT FPS | RX 7700 FPS | Performance Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resident Evil 4 | 84 FPS | 70 FPS | ~17% lower |
| Dying Light 2 | 75 FPS | 63 FPS | ~16% lower |
| Hogwarts Legacy | 79 FPS | 64 FPS | ~19% lower |
Despite the lower compute unit count and clocks, the RX 7700’s larger VRAM and wider memory bus may give it an edge in VRAM-bound scenarios, especially in modded or texture-heavy games.
Market Positioning
The RX 7700 is expected to compete directly with NVIDIA’s RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, offering a more memory-rich alternative for gamers who prioritize raster performance and open-source features like FSR and Radeon Anti-Lag.
It’s already integrated into AMD’s Adrenalin software ecosystem, supporting Enhanced Sync, FreeSync, and FSR 3.1, with future compatibility for FSR 4 and AFMF.
What’s Missing
- No MSRP yet: Pricing will determine whether this card becomes a midrange favorite or gets buried under the XT’s shadow.
- No release date: Availability is still unknown, though board partners are expected to launch custom models soon.
