i got a RX 7600 from msi..the 8gb version.
first one broke after 2 weeks when i installed wow classic ( iplayed new world and cyberpunk on highs ettings in 1080 p without any issues before) , loaded the game, entered the game, had weird resolution by default changed that resolution to 1080p..card froze up my system and refused to put out a signal afterwards and i tried everything, ddu, bios update, chipset reinstall etc etc.
so ddu..put my old gtx 970 back in..worked fine.
returned it to the shop, got me a new one, same model..this one had the most annoying coil whine i ever witnessed. returned it after 2 days ( i tried everything, bios/chipset update, driver reinstall with ddu, did that initially on the first card too) it was unbearable. shop gave me a slight discount on a rog strix rx 6650 xt afterwards. this one has no issues at all.
in hindsight i think it might have been some issue with amd drivers and my motherboards bios i never found the real culprit tbh... but i stay away from any 7600 series for now :D

Another failed AMD product positioning and price wise. Honestly, giving a FullHd card the VRAM required for a 4k graphics card and the matching price tag to boot, doesn't make sense at all.
At the same time graphics card which could really use that additional VRAM, such as the 7700 XT, only got 12GB and sit at about $150 more than they should be - the RX 6700 XT has barely 5% less performance and cost around $350, whilst the RX 7700 XT sit at around $500 .
Doesn't anyone notice that the main difference between AMD's RDNA 2 and RDNA 3, is a higher price and not the performance !
If you currently want to buy a new graphics card you best look at Radeon RX 6xxx first, because there you get the best performance for the buck by a serious margin - though if you consider Intel they too have nice offerings if you want to risk still somewhat lacking compatibility.

Yeah, this was a disappointment. Sure, the specs made that pretty clear beforehand, but there's definitely room specs-wise between the 7600 and 7700 XT for a SKU that actually improves performance around this price point. Instead we get a release for the bigger number better crowd, which sucks for those of us actually interested in GPU value. I generally like the 7600 among contemporary options (10% cheaper than the 4060 for less than 10% less performance), but ideally that should be a $200 GPU, and this a ... $220 one With, let's say a non-XT 7700 coming in at $300 That would be nice. At this point I'm honestly just happy I got a massively overpowered GPU last generation so that I don't have to think about this for a few years, as the current market situation is downright depressing.

Meh... Maybe the 7600XT can work as some sort of upselling from the 4060, as the 4060 is generally considered better than the 7600 for productivity workload such as rendering, ai stuff etc. and 16GB of VRAM can be pretty useful in some of these programs plus it also helps shrinking Nvidia's advantage in RT workload It also helps futureproofing as new games keep demanding more vram, even at lowest quality textures and 8GB might not be enough for some new games in 2 years, but then again that's all speculation and the raw power might not be enough to enjoy games in 2 years anyways. The 7600XT is definitely in a weird spot and I don't think it will sell well without some major price cuts.

If this is not worth it the 4070ti super is also not worth it.....even more so costing 800 to me logic says it is a big joke of a card. The 7600xt is affordable and give anyone doing Ai a great option. I cannot help but see you extreme Nvidia bias, with your thumbnails. the 4070 super and 4070ti super thinmbnails list its name saying review then the AMD 7600xt says NOT WORTH IT!! You cannot get more biased, untrustworthy than that. Just give data and no not freaking RT at 4k with a 330$ low end card it is ignorant and irrelevant!! I would love to see what Nvidia pays yall or demands because this is so blatant it ruins your credibility completely.

The biggest shock is how Intel have climbed. Really wanted some competition for Nvidia but does not look like i'm getting that. AMD still poor power consumptions, RT, drivers, and playing catch up in features or offering inferior ones and sold for near the same price. (at least not a meaningful enough difference for me to overlook everything going against AMDS offerings) Kinda sucks that i am and will be im sure guilty of just buying Nvidia over and over. But i am not parting with cash for something i dislike to stick it to the man when both the men are trying to screw me.

Im tired of this 2016 era BUT MORE VRAM debate and the increased costs that come with companies needlessly slapping vram on to things that wont ever fully utilize it
i have no idea what will hit a 7600XT with 16gb, i have a 12gb 3080 and the vram is never the bottleneck, i have to actively try and get it to utilize more than 8gb in gaming
It is nice however to be able to leave substance painter and blender both open when playing forza or RDR2

As soon as it hits 299 i'll get one.
Decent upgrade from my current RTX 3060, which will go into my secondary pc for Blender. (replacing a 1650G6)
I want to get into Ai and like to have the AV1 encoder as well.
For editing i use Davinci Studio, which i'm told prefers AMD.
Also i dont need a stronger PSU this way.
And the powerbill stays in check with 0.44 euro per kw/h.
Good product for my case.

Please include in efficiency testing 4060 and 4060 Ti (may be 3060 Ti as well). There is a slight trend on building sub 5 liter ITX gaming machines, and these GPUs are the only few options with maybe RX7600 and few ARCs as an alternative. In tiny ITX build power and heat matters a lot. Power efficiency data regarding lower end RTXes would be highly appreciated. And always big thanks for great analytics of GPU/CPU.

Not really related to anything but why is it that the first-party AMD and Nvidia cards are always the nicest-looking ones The board partners insistent on making GPUs look like hotwheels cars feels kinda dated vs the types of _ultra most expensive ever_ builds that do millions of views on YT shorts. A lot of the screenshots of store pages in this video look like a collection of deadly weapons rather than GPUs.

Rx7600xt should've just been a 160bit 10gb card at least. At least the 16gb 4060ti is gonna be maybe useful for those who need an nvidia gpu with lots of vram.
Maybe AMD should sell these off in laptops. Oh wait. They couldn't cause they didn't make a compelling proposition to OEM's. So much so last gen nvidia gpu's on laptops could easily thrash these navi 33 and even some navi 32 mobile gpu's.

Idk about MSRP's
The 4060 jumped in price recently, because it was too close to 3050 and 3060 prices and nobody was buying those anymore
Now it's at 400Euros in Romania
If the 7600XT comes in at 350Euros, it will be more powerful than the 4060 by a few percent, costing less by 25% and in some scenarios it would beat it by 20% (in VRAM restricted scenarios).

I think the primary use for this card would be AI, where you need to load in more massive models. I believe that was even part of the marketing material. That being said, I simply haven't seen the support for non-gaming workloads with AMD GPUs. Last I checked, they only bought their ROCm software stack to Windows last year, and it only supports the 7900xtx.

You are a hero! Thank you very much for the review. I have a MSI MECH Rx 6650 xt 8GB and over black Friday I got a Sapphire pulse Rx 6700 Xt 12GB for $310 that I still have in the box and was wondering if I should just return it and get the Rx 7600 xt 16 GB.......... I am still not sure what to do but this video helped me A LOT. Thank you very much.

I genuinely dont see how AMD could look at this card, with the only differenct being 8 extra gigs of vram that dont matter for most games and increased power limit, and think to themselves yeah, this is a good product, people will like and buy this, we definitely arent going to be verbally shit on by the reviewers for it only having a 35 increase.

God amd sucks this generation. They were looking ok at the start, but the more time goes on the worse they get. 7800xt isnt relevant at all now, 7900xt really isnt that relevant unless its 700 bucks, 7900xtx is still relevant but hardly.. 6700xt, and 6650xt are the leaders for them that isnt good.. zero innovation

Nice (obvious sarcasm) to see Intel getting some competition at last. Would be sad to have only one manufacturer release totally meaningless hardware that gets spanked by older, faster and better competitors while bumping retail prices over their own previous almost identical SKU's.

If you were 25% more disappointed last year than from the year before, then you'd be 50% more disappointed with this release, so this card is basically 100% better. Huge kudos to AMD for delivering such consistently higher percentage levels of disappointment every year.

This generation of gpus are disappointing once again. The 4070 series super variants should've been the default 4070/4070ti card performance to begin with. Amd is also slacking in price to performance, the only promising cards from AMD are the 7800xt and 7900xt

i think that this is supposed to be an AI card for those who dont want to break the bank, want to play games and do some AI generation on the side. the 16GB of vram is almost the minimum for AI generation, and there arent any cheap cards that have that aside from this.
