Radeon RX 7600 XT Review: Can AMD Eliminate The RTX 4060?

Once the 6800 XT drops to say $150 in the used market I will upgrade.

[@aerosw1ft]

Expectations: new GPU silicon, better memory subsystem, 10-15% faster than 7600, MSRP $300. Reality: basically an overclocked 7600 with 16GB VRAM and $60 premium, gets destroyed by 6700XT at the same price. It seems like AMD really are allergic to gaining market share.

[@jotinhafilho5920]

AMD loves wasting opportunities to dethrone Nvidia.

[@OneDollaBill]

The performance gains on sub 500$ cards are a big joke in this gen. 3060ti beats the 4060ti in some titles. Same with the 7600xt loses to old 6650xt and so on. This needed to be at least 6700xt level for 300$ for it to make any sense for anyone to buy.

[@Randy1124pr]

So this is basically what the $269 card should be and the 7600 needs to be $199. Don’t get me wrong I love AMD and these aren’t bad cards, I think they should just work on the pricing. 7800xt for $500, 7900xt for $700-$720 and the 7900xtx for $850-$900 aren’t bad prices but the 7700xt, 7600xt and 7600 feel overpriced. 7700xt for $369-399 should be a good deal, 7600xt for $269-279 and the 7600 for $199.

[@Davinmk]

a lot of the time when people say stuff like this it’s always something nonsensical like “the 4070 super should have cost 300$!” but this is actually accurate, this is the pricing for it to be actually competitive

[@ondrejdobrota7344]

Pricing for all AMD cards is riddiculous, but AMD doenst care about customers or sales any more.

[@zodwraith5745]

Even the ones you can argue for have issues. The 7800xt looks ok against the 4070, but bad against AMD's own 6800xt, and both 7900s are way too much to pay for GPUs that can't even do competent raytracing. Who wants to pay over $700 for a new GPU that still has compromises? Pretty much everything from 7000 series is just a fat disappointment and the only reason anyone even pays attention is because Nvidia is overpriced. But the whole reason Nvidia is _gaining_ market share is because once you hold your nose and pay Nvidia's greed tax you have a superior experience due to better upscaling, better frame gen, and vastly better RT performance. This is why Steve and Tim say AMD really needs to be 20% cheaper than Nvidia to be competitive.

[@MrMartinSchou]

Yeah, it's the AMD version of the 4060 Ti 16 GB, just in a lower performance tier. Expensive memory upgrade at the cost of power draw, but Nvidia has a far less severe power consumption hit. For example, the performance jump at 1440p is 4.7%/18.8% for the 7600XT and 2.5%/23.6% for the 4060Ti 16 GB.

[@DMDMDM7]

[@DavidWB147]

What is also interesting to me here, is how well the Intel Arc A770 16 GB holds up *on average*, after a significant number of driver improvements. The RT performance especially, is relatively speaking, respectable. I do own one (not in use currently), and it does seem to have moved from technical curio into a reasonably interesting card. Given it seems to have been built to compete with GeForce 30-series(?), perhaps it bodes decently for Battlemage, if it arrives. Good to see more cards in the low- to mid-range GPUs.

[@JordanCorkins]

For as much garbage as intel has done in the past, I cant help but root for them to get a foothold in this market.

[@nimrodery]

I think the resolution scaling shows there's still some performance left on the table for ARC, especially at 1080p. The drivers have at least matured to the point that most games work. It would be nice to see Intel expand to working with developers to ensure better support on day 1 (they seem to be making a little progress there). Undervolting controls would also be nice.

[@Neopulse00]

I'd suggest looking at Ancient Gameplays recent benchmarks with the RX 7600 and A770. I almost decided to get it until I saw his review.

[@zodwraith5745]

Not to mention the cost per frame of the A750 that's actually 10 bucks less than Steve has it listed. It's been only $200 for quite a while now. Their drivers are starting to get good enough I probably wouldn't recommend people avoid it anymore.

[@nimrodery]

@@Neopulse00 I would have bought either the 6600 or 7600, they both retailed higher than the A750 and you can turn on raytracing without crippling the GPU. Intel just seems to be better at getting their GPUs to sell at MSRP (or less). If you're comparing the 7600 to the A770 there is definitely a market pricing problem.

AMD really needed to make sure it matched the 6700 XT by adding more hardware resources. A 16GB 6700 XT with AV1 support would sell well.

Got some problem with it at first as my system won't boot at 3600MHz RAM (GSkill Trident Z RGB 3600MHz 2x8) so I changed it to 3200 and it runs fine. 2 weeks after another problem occur like game crash, hang, even BSOD, so tried reinstalling Windows since I use the onboard graphic before, 5600G, so it could be driver issue, tried with DDU but no dice, so I thought let's just reinstall but still same issue. I thought it was my graphic card but turned out it was my RAM slots all along. Once I moved it to A2B2, my system runs fine and it stays at 3600 MHz just fine. Now, It runs undervolted at stock clock and runs fine without any issue (temp at around 70-75C at full load). Great purchase. 3070 was around 325-350$ so I go AMD. At some point it was the same price but these last months all NVIDIA used cards seems to be going up like crazy. Seems like people are buying theme for AI stuff.

It usually matters when there's higher resolutions at play to keep your GPU cores fed. Considering the 7600XT lacks the corecount, the buswidth isn't too relevant (as is 16gb's worth of memory, 12 would've been more than sufficient for the performance level of this GPU).

Both HU hosts seem to consistently refer to the standard/traditional GPU temperature reading as "junction", but I believe (and Wikipedia agrees) that: "Junction temperature, short for transistor junction temperature, is the highest operating temperature of the actual semiconductor in an electronic device".

[@aaronriggs4430]

It seems like the big VRAM scare of last year has largely blown over.. Many games dont need anywhere close to 12gb until you get into RT ultra 1440p, or even 4k quality.. resolutions and graphics features that underpowered cards don't even have the raw horsepower to run in the first place. That, coupled with the fact that a lot of UE5 games seem to be maxing out VRAM usage UNDER 8gb, and the fact that many VRAM hogs at launch have been patched by developers (PS5 ports in particular) says to me that 16gb on an entry level/1080p card is just marketing overkill and a response to a concern peddled by PC gaming journalists who blew the situation out of proportion. In short, this thing will run out of raster power long before it ever actually needs anywhere near 16gb of vram.

This once again just solidifies how good a deal the 6700 XT I bought around Black Friday 2022 for 390€ was. After owning six or seven mid-range Nvidia cards this was just a no-brainer for my setup. And the switch was actually pretty much seamless, everything worked out of the box without driver issues (using DDU), it immediately took custom profiles, heavily modded and dll-injected games like Skyrim just worked, custom app profiles and undervolting was super easy. FSR is a bit of a bummer, don't like the way it looks at all. XeSS pretty much always looks better to me, ideally all future games will let you choose between them.

[@EMU1]

I would pick up a used 3070ti for the same price... I think this misses the mark, and I honeslty am not too concerned with VRAM on lower tier cards. By the time it actually starts to be an issue, another budget card can slot in its place for large gains at the same price range, or lower price with an improvement in performance. This card needed to be under $300 to provide any real value. There also need to be sub 200mm variants for small builds. That is something that there are very few AMD cards capable of.

[@QuentinStephens]

Great work; you really are a glutton for punishment! But your hard work is much appreciated. I do think you are making a mistake in not covering 4k, but rather than using the highest settings for these cards please test medium settings. Such information is both interesting and useful: lots of people have 4k TVs these days. Think of parents bringing the PC into the living room so a child can be supervised while playing. Something extra I would like to see you test somehow is performance and stability while streaming. One content creator I watch had problems streaming Jedi Survivor on a RTX card until he added a second RTX card to handle the streaming. The issue may have been VRAM usage. But I appreciate you have only so much time. I was surprised and pleased to see how well the Arc A770 fared, and I think it deserved more mention. That card now sorely needs a price drop to be competitive.

[@ipotato95]

After skipping ahead to power efficiency and average frame rates, why would anyone buy this over the 6700xt? It’s barely more power efficient but also about 10% slower. Wouldn’t expect one tier lower yet one generation newer to have that poor of a result compared a 3 year old product

[@vineetkumarbharti2633]

I'm not surprised by the fact that rx 6700 xt is still a better value than any latest release, even after 1 year of RDNA 3 launch. Amd really showed they are no better than Nvidia. Was hoping for something like 48CU 2250mhz GPU for same price. Anyway they have decided to ruin Radeon brand, no one can stop them.

AMD has already proven they badly _want_ to gouge you as much as Nvidia does, they just can't make good enough GPUs and features. Threadripper pricing shows you _exactly_ how greedy AMD is if they hold the lead.

[@JanM2]

Interestingly however, when it comes to their CPUs, they're not nearly as greedy selling 7800x3ds at 360€ or Ryzen 5 7600s at 180€

[@haukionkannel]

Cheaper than 4060… what more could we expect?

[@samsonsimmlmann813]

Still pretty happy with my 7600 Hellhound (8G of course) I bought half a year ago for 219€, including shipping and a copy of Starfield. The only thing I would complain about is that undervolting is almost impossible, still not sure why. Runs stable with 2900Mhz boost at 1.185V (instead of 1.2). But even with reduced boost I can't really reduce voltage by a reasonable margin. Behaves a bit odd, thoug, doesn't tend to crash so much at full load, some benchmarks run for hours without issues, but when playing older games.

[@valentinvas6454]

They should release an RX 7700 non XT for $390 because right now the 6700 XT and 6750 look like better deals

[@haukionkannel]

Ofcourse… 6000 series is old. So they try to sell those out in discount. Nobody would buy them unless the old ones would be better value! So also no need to reduce 7700 price!

[@andersjjensen]

They want them to be better deals. Dr Su addressed in an investor conference call that AMD is sitting on a mountain of RDNA2 stock because the crypto bubble popped and GPU sales went down the drain for 6 months straight after (mostly due to second hand market being attractive).

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

If the GDDRX memory was to be used instead of the non-X memory how much of a boost to performance would there be? Would that be worth the extra cost and power usage? Would a higher level memory bus help any? Would the cost of using a higher memory bus be worth it?

[@nixnet83]

Here in Poland the price diff between 7600 XT (390 USD) and 4060 (340 USD) is not that much, but the extra 8GB sounds like a good thing on paper. I'm gonna go with AMD because I already have AMD CPU and I guess the other people's reasoning might be similar - if they already have a GSync monitor, its going to be Nvidia, if they own Intel CPU and feel a bit adventurous they might opt for Arc 770. I'm only changing my GPU because I bought a 43" TV instead of an 40" monitor for my desk, and the TV doesn't have a DP and the my GTX 1660 doesn't have a HDMI 2.1 port, so I can't use Freesync on an Nvidia card (worked decently with DP) :/

[@Yo64130]

What I have learn looking through dozens of videos to decide which GPU to buy and deciding for 7600XT is that you get what you pay for. Sure the better ones are better but are also more expensive almost at a linear rate. I was going to get a 6800 because on all the reviews it is the best bang for buck, but the bucks were not there 50% more expensive than the 7600xt, it would have thrown off my budget. It is hard not to buy the best there is but hey I have been gaming and using blender pretty decently with a 1650 for the last 4 years, this card is a fair upgrade to that one. To me 60 frames at 1440p is more than enough, dont care that much about ray tracing. And using those AMD image upsacelers I cant tell the difference, I left my bragging brain at college a long time ago. "Yes but you cant game at 220fps" dude I dont even notice the difference past 120. Also some of the cards in comparisson above the 7600XT where way above 50% more expensive or where 8GB, and I rather gane at 30fps stable than have stutters.

[@craciunator99]

Boy do I feel even better about getting a 6700xt for only $200

[@Chrissi33004]

buying used is the only real option for budget gamers atm. Like he said. The card should have released 6 months ago at 300. Getting a 6700xt, 6800Xt, rtx 3070 or 3080 used ist so much better value than buying whatever this is

what annoys me about this channel and others is that they dont seem to realise that people upgrade their cards, mostly after 2-3 generations so they should always shows these in the benchmarks and not just some seemingly random cards they have laying around. There should have been 5600/5600xt , 5700 / 5700xt on here as an absolute minimum. There needs to be direct comparisons between the previous and previous before that generations in current games.

Jup, exactly my thoughts. Especially the budget segment needs comparison further down the line. Its nice that there is a 2060 in there sometimes, though. And i know, why they do it. Cards from earlier generations aren't really usable in new games, so they look really bad. Although thats often due to the settings, which are quite often set to ultra, which is just pointless most of the time if you ask me.

[@gabrielvillarreal3051]

[@tomstech4390]

So far the best think I've heard the Nvidiots say is "but the 6700xt" which is hilarious. They say things like "16GB on a low end card is useless and only pcie4x8 is anti consumer"...., then you point out the 4060Ti with the same Vram and PCIE for 33% more money and they go silent. If you wanna spend less and don't need 16GB.. then buy the 7600 that is an option AMD provie, But people don't understand what the meaning of "option" is anymore.

No, because the drivers suck and support for updated drivers suck. I wish AMD could win the war entirely for an entire generation to shake up the market but its always the same issues. I also hope Intel continues to improve its product line and drivers; then makes higher end cards. I have people coming in for issues with their AMD cards constantly at my work. I have to reinstall everything just to tell them it's a driver issues 90% of the time. Honestly, I have never had an Nvidia one come in unless they break or it needed to be RMAed. ( don't jam the card into the slot like it's your first time on prom night please).

It doesn't matter how many if you haven't had problems. What matters is everyone else who does. I say this everyday at work. Being the exception does not change the facts at hand. I deal with 100s of cards yearly and AMDs have issues commonly while Nvidia doesn't. It doesn't need to be a fanboy fight. I have been a AMD got for over 20 years. It doesn't change that their GPUs are inferior currently.

[@RurouTube]

In my country I probably would recommend 6700XT for GPU at around this price tier. Here you can actually buy 6700XT at a significantly cheaper price than 7600XT. Having said that, depending on what you want to do with the GPU, 7600XT might be for you. Obviously, the biggest advantage is driver stability (VS Intel at least) and 16GB VRAM. If you need those 2 things at around this price, then the only option is 7600XT. Anyway, what reviewers often overlook is the real world VRAM usage. Usually review is being done with a clean system with almost nothing other than the default stuff were running in the background. From my own experience, I don't close all application when playing games. Often I leave browser with multiple tabs open. Those open apps does use VRAM and depending on what kind of apps open, it might use more or less. This can make some games that previously run well on 8GB ended up unplayable. I experienced this when I was playing Uncharted with 8GB GPU when according to benchmarks on the internet I should get 60FPS but ended up with a slide show. I can imagine someone that want to live stream, 8GB GPU is probably going to be a bit on the edge. 12GB should be good enough for most games, but alas, if you want to live stream you probably want something that can do AV1 (especially since Twitch right now is experimenting with it) thus making 6700XT kinda meh for it (and H.264 encoding on Radeon is not good. Usable but not good). Personally if you want to stream but on a budget, I would recommend 3060 12GB, but right now you can either buy that or 7600XT. I also would only recommend 3060 12GB if you really want Nvidia GPU because it is priced similarly and 7600XT is definitely faster and has a bit more VRAM. I would never recommend 8GB or lower GPU for a streamer unless it is simply impossible for the person to buy a $300-ish GPU which by then my recommendation would be either buying RX 7600 or just go for the cheapest but still good GPU, which is RX 6600. Yes, 6600 stream quality will be meh, but if you can only afford a GPU at $200 or lower there is not much of a choice unless you're comfortable buying Arc.
