Gamescom 2023 will be kicking off next week, featuring some of the biggest names in the industry. One such name is AMD, and the PC hardware giant could announce some new lines in its RDNA 3 range.
That’s if a recent tweet from AMD’s own Scott Herkelman is anything to go by. Herkelman says that Team Red will be in attendance at this year’s Gamescom, bringing with it the company’s “next major product announcements.”
Please join the @AMDRadeon team at Gamescom next week for our next major product announcements!
If you can make it to Germany and will be one of the couple hundred of thousand visitors attending one of the biggest gaming events I hope to talk to you in person!… pic.twitter.com/Te7l7ufU59

What this will be exactly we can’t say. However, judging from the “s” in “announcements,” it sounds like it’s going to be more than one thing.
New graphics cards, surely?
Suffice it to say, we would assume that AMD will announce its next line of graphics cards in its latest 7000 series. A report from PC Gamer speculates that it could well be the leaked RX 7800 XT.
That may not be all. Some people commenting under Herkelman’s tweet are holding out that AMD will announce FSR 3. For those who don’t know, FSR (or FidelityFX Super Resolution) is the tech giant’s own take on algorithmic graphical upscaling, similar to Nvidia’s DLSS and Intel’s Xe Super Sampling.
AMD seems to be trailing behind Nvidia at the moment. Its biggest rival has already released a number of products in its Ada Lovelace range. We’ve already seen the likes of the RTX 4090 right through to a 4060 from Team Green.
Conversely, there have pretty much only been two launches in AMD’s RDNA 3 range: the RX 7900 (XT, XTX, and GRE variants) and the RX 7600. Now would the time for Team Red to start unveiling some more in order to keep up with Nvidia.
