Acer recently filed a list of GPUs it may be preparing to sell in EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) countries. Among the well-known and established graphics card models, it was quite surprising to see the company’s submitted document included non-XT versions of AMD’s Radeon RX 7900, 7800, and 7700 discrete GPUs. Both Acer’s value-focused Nitro and premium-level Predator Bifrost brands are slated to get these new GPUs, delivering a notch-lower performance than their XT counterparts. Please keep in mind that EEC filings do not always precipitate product releases.
Aside from the three new non-XT variants of the 7900, 7800, and 7700, the EEC lists nearly all the Radeon RX 7000-series GPUs, including the GRE versions that used to be China only. However, the 7900 XTX is notably missing from the list — even in the more expensive Predator Bifrost line. The five member states of the EEC are Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia. Russia is the biggest member of the commission, but it has been under sanctions by much of the Western world due to its aggression in Ukraine. That’s probably one of the reasons why the most powerful XTX variant of the 7900 isn’t included in this list.
