Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 80406, member: 636"] A never-released version of an older AMD card just surfaced online. Someone posted images of an engineering sample for a reference model Radeon RX 7700 XT, a GPU AMD only sold through partner companies back in 2023. This early sample features a distinctive red PCB and exposed connectors, clearly marking it as a test unit not intended for public sale. The card matches renders AMD used on its website but includes internal components like diagnostic LEDs near the PCIe slots. Software verification confirms it uses the Navi 32 die with the known specs of thirty-four hundred stream processors and twelve gigabytes of memory. This operational prototype highlights AMD's internal validation process before leaving production to other brands. The RX 7700 XT itself has been discontinued since the newer series launched, often overshadowed by the slightly more expensive but more powerful RX 7800 XT during its market life. [/QUOTE]
