AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT

As cost-effective as an RTX 4080 Super

- ZAK STOREY

THIS IS NOT a great card to be writing about, unfortunately. AMD's low-end budget model is something of an oddity. It comes with a rather lackluster launch all things considered-on its own, solo, in Q1. Where Nvidia is launching multiple Supers, and redefining its entire GPU range, AMD has launched this. Admittedly, Team Red did provide us with the more impressive 7800 XT and 7700 XT late last year, but those had a bit more gumption than this thing does.

Let's take top-line stats first. The RX 7600 XT is based off of the RDNA 3 architecture, manufactured by TSMC on its slightly older N6 manufacturing process, and features a 7nm transistor size. By default, it clocks in with 2,048 stream processors and touts a maximum clock speed on paper of 2,755 MHz. On top of that, you get 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 128-bit bus, and it's rated at 190W of power. It's also on a PCle 4.0 x8 bus, (although we suspect this is more to do with marketing, as that's effectively the same as a PCIe 3.0 x16, but allows you to label it up as a PCIe 4.0 card).
