Acer is announcing four new GPUs today built on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture with the Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 7800 XT OC, as well as the Nitro Radeon RX 7800 XT OC, 7700 XT OC, and 7600 XT OC. All four GPUs will go on sale in February of this year but Acer is only listing prices for three of them right now. The Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 7800 XT will retail for $549.99 and is Acer’s flagship out of the four GPUs.
As such, gamers can expect some real performance gains with this card. It’s PCIe 4.0 and uses dual PCIe 8-pin connectors. it also has 16GB of GDDR6 memory and a triple fan setup with three Predator FrostBlade 3.0 fans. Additionally, it has a max Game Clock of 2,254 MHz and a max boost clock of 2,565 MHz. It also has ports for HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1. In short, it’s really fast and it stays cool under pressure. “Gamers can expect major leaps in performance and efficiency,” Acer says.
If you’re the type that likes to keep a watchful eye on stats, you can use the Predator BiFrost Utility app to monitor graphics parameters and even adjust the fan velocities.
Acer will sell three more affordable Predator GPUs based on the AMD RDNA 3 architecture
Acer’s other more affordable GPUs will offer similarly impressive performance. The Nitro 7800 XT and 7700 XT models for instance will have AI accelerators that allow for 1440p and 4K gaming. Max boost clock speeds will be 2,565 MHz and 2,599 MHz respectively, while the max game clock speeds will be 2,254 MHz and 2,276 MHz. The prices should also be a little more appealing. The Nitro Radeon RX 7800 XT will be $509.99 and the Nitro Radeon RX 7700 XT will be $459.99.
Acer doesn’t list the price for the baseline model, the Nitro Radeon RX 7600 XT. However, it’ll be less than $459.99, so our bet is around $380-$400. Whatever the cost ends up being, however, it’ll be the GPU to pick if you have a rig with less space. Acer says it measures 265.1 x 111.2 x 40.1 mm with a 2.5-slot form factor and calls it the “choice for space-conscious DIY gamers.”
All three Nitro cards will also have connectivity ports for HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 just like the Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 7800 XT. So you can easily use them with those newer cables if you already have them.
