AMD's fastest and best GPU ever can be had for half the price of this full gaming PC from Skytech. Especially now, the Skytech Chronos with RX 7900 XTX is $200 off at Newegg for $2,100 (opens in new tab).

The Radeon RX 7900 XTX (opens in new tab) is the first graphics card with AMD's RDNA 3 architecture and the first ever graphics card with a chiplet; like the Ryzen CPUs, the chiplet design will have a Radeon cards should have a significant impact. That this first generation iteration performs so well is something of a miracle considering the advanced new technology inside it.

However, its revolutionary new architecture means that there are kinks to work out in the driver stack and that it is not a 100% consistent competitor to Nvidia's RTX 4080 (open in new tab). But if the best RTX 4080 gaming PC we could find costs another $200 on top of this Skytech machine, the fact that sometimes it can beat Nvidia's second-tier Ada GPU and sometimes it can't doesn't matter much.

Since the RX 7900 XTX is still a $999 graphics card, Skytech has made some compromises that allow the machine's price to drop to this more reasonable level. And these compromises will not make much difference to your gaming experience.

Most obvious is the fact that it does not feature the latest generation of Intel processors. But it is still a Core i7 12700F, a 12-core, 20-thread CPU in the Alder Lake family, fast enough to keep feeding the Radeon chip.

It also runs on DDR4 instead of the more expensive DDR5 system memory, which is of little importance for PC gaming. It also has a 1TB NVMe SSD for storing games.

Thus, if you want an AMD-powered gaming PC without the exorbitant price tag, Skytech's RX 7900 XTX-powered Chronos is worth a look.
