Compute Power and Architecture
Built on the Rdna 3 architecture, the card delivers 35.2 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This processing power drives smooth frame rates in demanding modern video games.
Driving these capabilities are 3,456 shader cores paired with a boost clock of 2,544 MHz. Together, they handle heavy graphics workloads without stuttering.
Memory and Caching
The hardware includes 12 GB of Gddr6 video memory across a 192 bit memory bus. This capacity prevents texture pop-in and supports high-resolution asset streaming in modern titles.
Raw memory bandwidth reaches 432 GB/s, supported by an 18 Gbps memory speed and a 48 MB last-level cache. This combination feeds data rapidly to the processor for consistent rendering performance.
Power Requirements and Physical Size
Drawing 245 W of board power, the unit requires a 700 W recommended PSU, which AMD bases on a Ryzen 9 7950X system. Two 8-pin PCIe power connectors deliver the necessary electricity from your power supply.
Measuring 267 mm in card length and taking up 2.5 slots of width, it requires adequate clearance inside your PC case. Ensure your chassis fits these dimensions before purchasing.
Display Connectivity
You can connect up to 4 displays simultaneously using the rear panel layout. This gives multi-monitor users plenty of flexibility for work or immersion.
The port selection includes one HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, with the latter running at the UHBR13.5 link rate. This ensures compatibility with high-refresh-rate gaming monitors and modern TVs.
