Avast ye, mateys! Word be spreadin' that the mighty ship, AMD's RX 7800 XT, may set sail on the morrow. But lo and behold, a glimpse of its kin, the 7700 XT, already be spotted on the horizon! Yo ho ho, the treasure be near!

AMD’s upcoming mid-range RDNA 3 graphics cards are creating a lot of buzz, and rumors suggest they will be unveiled at Gamescom. Recently, an accidental listing of a Gigabyte RX 7700 XT on a major US retailer's website caught the attention of Tom’s Hardware. However, there were several issues with the listing. The image provided was actually of a Gigabyte 7900 XT, and the price was much higher than expected. It seems that someone at Best Buy made a mistake and mixed up the details from different products.

Despite the errors, this listing hints at the existence of the 7700 XT and its inclusion in AMD's mid-range graphics card lineup for RDNA 3. It is likely that this was a work-in-progress listing that accidentally went live, with some old details left in from a cloned product.

Previously, there had been rumors about the RX 7800 XT, which was accidentally revealed by PowerColor. The 7700 XT, however, had only been rumored until now. While the image in the listing was incorrect, the fact that Best Buy created a listing with a matching model name and a rumored specification (12GB of VRAM) suggests that both the 7700 XT and the 7800 XT will be announced soon.

AMD is expected to reveal these graphics cards at Gamescom this week. There is also anticipation for a teaser or full reveal of FSR 3, AMD's frame generation technology that aims to rival Nvidia's DLSS 3.

Overall, despite the listing mishap, AMD fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of these mid-range RDNA 3 graphics cards and the potential unveiling of FSR 3.
