Mysterious Radeon RX 7300 GPU Info Spotted in AIDA64 Extreme Release Notes

[T0@st]

Last August, the rumor mill indicated a possible arrival of Radeon RX 7400 and RX 7300 graphics cards—potentially distributed through OEM channels. Going further back—during the early days of RDNA 3—insiders posited that true entry-level models were on the way; sitting below the already lowly Radeon RX 7600 model in Team Red's "Navi 33" GPU-based stack. Around mid-2023, Kepler_L2 envisioned humble "Navi 33 Ultra Lite with 4 CUs" designs. Currently, TechPowerUp's database alludes to a "never released" Radeon RX 7500 XT card, but AMD's (presumably less potent) RX 7400 and RX 7300 options were not deemed worthy of similar treatment.

To the surprise of many industry watchdogs, quite fresh AIDA64 Extreme (beta) release notes—version: 7.65.7415 beta (May 05, 2025)—mention "AMD Radeon RX 7300 (Navi 33)" GPU information. VideoCardz highlighted this discovery with a quick investigative piece; they did not find any official listings of this mysterious identifier. Two other RDNA 3 era models were present in the latest AIDA64 update: an already launched "Radeon Pro W7700 (Navi 32)" card and 2024's "Radeon RX 7800M (Navi 32)" mobile solution. Despite the upcoming launch of lower end RDNA 4 graphics cards, Team Red and a couple of its board partners are still pushing out "new" Navi 33 GPU-based cards—most notably Chinese market exclusive Radeon RX 7650 GRE custom models. In theory, a large surplus of "Hotpink Bonefish" GPU dies would require depletion in 2025.

Why?

 

[Apocalypsee]

Lol why the use the word 'ultra' next to 'lite'? Just use Lite or LE like it used to.

 

[Yashyyyk]

It's fine it can be display adapter or something (but idk AMD don't want VCN to be on the level of Intel QS, regardless of support / adoption)

But please for the love of god it should be single slot low profile without exception

 

[Launcestonian]

Replacements for RDNA2 low end cards that are still available on the market, at least in my country atm.

Those 6400 and 6500 were far to castrated and were heavily criticized for it. If these also are similar with pricing above $75 for 7300 then its a manufactured ewaste like the 8GB versions of 5060Ti and 7600 that can rot on shelves.

 

[Tropick]

4 CUs? Holy smokes that's literally an eighth of the total shaders active on a N33 die.. What are these the wafers the foundry techs used to wipe their boots on as they entered the clean room? I mean I guess they're good as display adapters but sheeeesh.

They are igp replacements or for system inegrators, there are people who don't need a *600+ class card.

The 5060ti 8gb is ewaste due to ridiculous pricing.

IGPs these days have video decode and encode capabilites(on Intel side they even have good software support) that were left out of and then there was crippled PCIe bus let to disapointing performance on older systems.

Point is if a port fails, most arent going to go and buy a whole new system, if 1 part can be replaced to bring system back into service.

Not everybody wants to upgrade their whole system just to use a modern IGP. Besides, even with half of its cores disabled, this thing will still be faster than a 8700G, not to mention the dedicated VRAM.

 

[beautyless]

There aren't many options for new-generation graphics cards under $200:

• RX 6400
• RX 6500XT
• RTX 3050 6GB

Faster cards at the same price are welcome.
The goal is to play 5-year-old games at FHD Medium-Low settings.

It seems the entry level graphic cards have really nice prices.

I tried early 2023 a nvidia 960 gtx with 4gib vram. Bad driver support in windows 10 pro. display reinitialisation in windows 10 pro. Issues handling subnautica or encased.

those games are very demanding, even the smaller ones like encased or subnautica.

those amd apu are just a marketing hoax. Yes maybe a game from 2002 or earlier may be playable, that's it. I talk about whqd in 60fps. the higher need for dram makes an apu not really a proper choice.

i also tried to play with the graphic of the ryzen 7600x with 2x32Gib DRAM. Hardly a difference in the expierence to the trash what nvidia has as nvidia 960 wiht 4Gib vram. I think i gave the ryzen 7600x 16Gib and also 8Gib for the graphics to see the differences.

-- Considering the prices as of now on geizhals.at for the paid offer listenings for amd graphic cards there is lot's of room for cheaper amd graphic cards.

Some consumers are unable to do part swaps. That needs brain and skills with the hands and reading skills. Which is rare these days for some consumers.

 

[Nostras]

Can be totally fine modern display outputs.
As long as AMD doesn't pull out a stinker and remove the en- and decoders encoders like they've done with the 6400 and 6500XT (wtf man).

Actually APUs are good for playing Games at 1080P that came out before RT and DLSS. FSR is also great for APUs. When Strix Point comes to Desktop the budget DGPU market will be filled.

They didn't remove the decoder, only the encoder.

You're right, I misremembered.

"You wanted a sub $200 GPU? Well here is your sub $200 GPU you ungrateful little brats" - AMD Probably.

But people wanted a sub-$200 5090 equivalent. How rude of AMD to deny them.

When 6500XT first launched I got one for $200 Canadian. At that time the 6600 was $600. It even had nice features but the review crowd barbqed it for not having an encoder.

I got one, too, just to see if it's really that bad - I still have it as a spare card. Honestly, for a 4 GB budget card, it's fine. I don't get what the fuss was about the encoder. You don't need it unless you're a streamer, and if you are, you're not gonna buy a low-end card anyway. Reviews completely missed the target audience with that comment, epic fail on their part, imo.

I wouldn't consider 4GB fine even when it got released. In this price class 8GB was great and 6GB was defendable, 4GB was a problem.
4GB is fine sub 100$, not 200$.
But then again, it was a product of it's time where AMD (I think?) genuinely tried to get a somewhat decent GPU on the market for as cheap as possible.

That is exactly the purpose it served. It gave people options like the 1030. It is also true at that time that the main way to mine Crypto was having a large VRAM buffer and the 6600 made about $4 a day at that time. I now use mine with a 5900 based system that does CPU mining to give me Display. GPU prices have not subsided but have indeed increased since then but at the other end the 6600 fell in price to about $269 Canadian and made the 6500XT at $239 useless. 4GB is not that bad when you read the review of the 8700G which is the most powerful APU currently available on AM5 and see that the 6500XT excels at Games you would use to play with an APU. They also OC like no other 6000 card as well. The most insane though is the die is smaller than a VRAM module.

 

[Robin Seina]

AMD basically has large enough stock of failed navi33, that still can be used at partial capacity, so they're making a new card from it. As a cheap display product for the office it will be fine.

Did you have one? I did. That's why I'm defending the card - not its price, though. At over £200, it was a terrible offer, not far from the 6600 which was miles better.

4 GB is a problem if you expect it to perform well in current games with high graphics. I had no such expectations, nor do I think it would be reasonable from a low-end card.
