AMD Quietly Launches 16GB Radeon RX 7700, Adds Driver Support

Lower performance than 7700 XT alongside higher power draw puts the focus on unanswered price and availability.

Overview

  • AMD listed the RDNA 3–based RX 7700 without fanfare and enabled it in Adrenalin Edition 25.9.2.
  • The cut‑down Navi 32 GPU carries 40 compute units and 2,560 stream processors with 16GB GDDR6 at 19.5Gbps on a 256‑bit bus for 624GB/s bandwidth.
  • Total board power is rated at 263W with dual 8‑pin connectors and a 700W PSU recommendation.
  • AMD positions the card for 1440p play with 60fps‑plus claims in recent titles, while its own figures show roughly 20% lower performance than the RX 7700 XT.
  • ASRock unveiled the first custom model, the RX 7700 Challenger 16GB, with 2,041 MHz game and 2,459 MHz boost clocks in a dual‑slot, dual‑fan design, and no MSRP or broad availability has been announced.
