The problem with the 7600 xt is that nearly all reviewers are gaming reviewers. So the majority only look at it from a gaming perspective, but also on the norm they own beastly gaming pcs that they use for video editing with a high end card with 16-24 gb gpu. They will never understand the struggle of video editing on a budget system.

[@mperor2830]

There's a wrong answer. A proper gamer on a budget wouldn't care if their system is dead quiet or not. But they would care not to put ddr5 4800Mt Cas40 16gb ram in their system

About the Displayport 2.1 spec on this card: no it's not like you'll run your games at 4k resolution at those framerates. But it is nice to have when you just use your PC for work on higher resolution displays. Your entire OS will feel much, much better at higher refresh rates. When you're gaming just lower your games resolution to 1080p or maybe up to 4K with FSR Performance upscaling.

[@mr.guillotine3766]

In the U.S. it's about a $60 price increase over the 7600, which basically is just the cost of the extra VRAM.

[@FalseOracle617]

Extra vram will make your GPU last 2 years longer than usual. Also games are badly optimised today

You should read about how you can overclock ps5 controllers to 1000hz on PC. I know a lot of people like myself are going from consoles to pc but that doesn’t mean I’m going to start playing everything with a keyboard, I still use a controller for everything especially cod and overclocking your controller helps sooo much with input delay

Also wanna add that I know it says you can overclock a Duelsense to 8000hz but in some hz testing software it only ever shows 1000 and that idk why that would be something you could maybe figure out tho lol

[@agab3asbgedsbef479]

you cant overclock to 8000hz thats just the polling rate of usb that can be oced to that

[@KrishinPillay]

I've been watching tons of GPU benchmark gameplay videos in preparation for my next upgrade. Games at 1080p are allocating more than 8Gb of VRAM. Especially those PS5 console ports, if you don't believe , just search for some gameplay benchmarks at 1080p and look at the VRAM usage.

[@boykitsune]

I love the video on the Rx 7600 Xt and like how you presented the performance on different settings, I feel as though for people who do buy it like myself it can improve with further driver updates and I would love to see things like AMD's fluid motion frames in a test build (I currently can't get too much performance out of it because my cpu is lacking, however I feel it is justifiable over time)

[@rosswrld1143]

12gb of vram is solidly futureproofed at 1080p. The vram demand at 1080p is 2.5-3GB less than it is in 1440p in the most vram hungry titles where the amount of vram you have will come into play. So if your contemplating how much vram is futureproofed at 1080p, 12GB is all you really need. I just got a 4070 super to play at 1080p (paired with a 7600x). Look forward to gaming on that rig for the next 3-4 years or so.

[@rybanet1982]

If you have a GTX 1060 and you're looking to upgrade, the RTX 4060 is an ideal budget-friendly solution. You won’t need to buy a new power supply, and you’ll avoid higher electricity costs, which have risen recently. The performance jump from the GTX 1060 to the RTX 4060 is about 180%, making it a much better option overall. In terms of price, upgrading from the GTX 1060 to: RTX 4060: $300 RX 6750 12GB: $310 + PSU ($100 or more) = $410 A lot of people are still using the GTX 1060 and are thinking about upgrading without spending too much. Because they're not 24 anymore with plenty of time for gaming, but rather 42, with less time due to family and other responsibilities. Unfortunately, the RTX 4060 fits well into that budget-friendly upgrade option. NVIDIA has timed this well, catering perfectly to this group of gamers.

In UK you can find 6700xt £10 cheaper than the 7600xt. Other than AV1 encoding, no-one sane should be buying 7600xt. Especially if you're buying on the budget. The extra vram is wasteful with the same memory bandwidth as 7600.

So basically if you WANT an AMD card and want 16gb of VRAM for the same price as this GPU and much higher speed, get an RX 6800.

[@kevincampbell989]

The vram is to future proof it. Gamers at this price range typically keep their cards for 4-5 years they are not big spenders. The 16gb vram is much appreciated at least AMD did not screw around like NVIDIA did with the 4060 and 4060ti. So credit where credit is due.

Seems stupid to give the 7600 XT 16GB and not 12 or 10GB when the 7700 XT has 12GB 10-12GB would be perfect for the card aswell as 4060 TI and 16GB for the 4070

[@OcihEvE]

Unless it is being used for some sort of AI workload, 16GB makes no sense. There is a lot of talk around direct storage in games so maybe in a year or two having 16GB reduces direct storage freezing but that's pure speculation

[@MarkoVuckovic32]

16GB is worth it but not for this GPU. This GPU doesn't need that much because after all it's a 1080p GPU and you don't need 16GB for 1080p. 16GB is worth it for cards like RX 6800 or more powerful ones. They can utilize that much for 1440p maybe even 4K with lower settings.

[@chetu6792]

The VRAM could get you more on the long run or if you like to switch over to 1440p. The XT is despite being aimed at 1080p quite capable for many games at 1440p. Maybe exchange the r5 7600x with a non x 7600. Cost less is way more efficient and is as fast as the x version

[@kkit7540]

With that budget you could probably look at gpu's 6800xt,7800xt or possibly a 6900/6950xt if you wanted an amd gpu. 4070/super for nvidia

It could help but the airflow in the case is key. Adding some quality casefans could lower temps for both cpu and gpu.

I'm not usually one to complain about pricing or performance because the only permanent damage is done to the company that engineered it.
