RDNA 4 smiles for the camera: this could be AMD's next-gen Radeon RX 8800 XT reference GPU

AMD's next-gen Radeon RX 8800 XT graphics card has reportedly appeared on Reddit in the form of an advertising campaign on the site by AMD... flagship RDNA 4 might have just been teased.

The purported Radeon RX 8800 XT graphics card has a triple-fan design with a sleek black and silver aesthetic, with an LED--illuminated Radeon logo on the side. The purported RX 8800 XT is sitting alongside a Ryzen 9 series processor, so we should expect Zen 5 + RDNA 4 combos in 2025.

We don't know of the ad is still running on Reddit, as it could've been taken down by AMD... if it is real, a ninja reveal like this with an "oops, uhhh we made a mistake and now we'll pull this ad" makes sense, as AMD is going to need everything it can get to begin to fight off the tidal wave of NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" GPUs at CES 2025, when RDNA 4 is unveiled.

AMD will be fully detailing its next-generation RDNA 4 architecture and new flagship Radeon RX 8800 XT graphics card at CES 2025, not aiming for the high-end this time, leaving NVIDIA to dominate with its GeForce RTX 5080 16GB and ultra-enthusiast RTX 5090 32GB graphics cards. NVIDIA will lean into using next-gen GDDR7 memory also, while AMD will be leaning on faster GDDR6 memory than RDNA 3 cards are using.
