For months now, we’ve been hearing rumors that AMD gave up on its best graphics card from the upcoming RDNA 4 lineup, and instead opted to target the midrange segment. However, that doesn’t mean that such a GPU was never in the works. Data mining revealed that the card may indeed have been planned, and if it was ever released, it would’ve given Nvidia’s RTX 4090 a run for its money.
These are not the full specs that we’re getting, of course, but what we’re seeing here is perhaps the most important specification — the number of shader engines, ranging from zero to eight, for a total of nine. This implies a very high-end design for the RDNA 4 flagship and would mark a significant increase over the RX 7900 XTX, which sports six shader engines. In the same discussion thread, another user reported that the Navi 4X GPU was meant to have over 200 compute units .

There would still be DLSS 3 to give Nvidia a boost, but that wouldn’t have made it less of a major win for AMD.
