RX 7800 XT price
The RX 7800 XT was believed to be priced at $650-$800, but the RX 7800 XT has a confirmed starting MSRP of $499. This price for the RX 7800 XT is competitive against its competitors, such as the Geforce RTX range, and specifically Nvidia’s RTX 4070, likely overpowering the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. So AMD has done a good job of posing a question as to which one to go for.

With features such as high-end performance, promising architecture, and reasonable and competitive pricing, the RX 7800 XT is all set to offer you an unforgettable gaming and computing experience. AMD now has an RDNA 3 GPU lineup that is filled out properly, and the 7800 looks to make a compelling case as a solid option.
