AMD introduced the long-anticipated Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card at CES 2024 this morning, providing an necessary GPU choice for players on a price range and fixing the one main criticism we had of its non-XT predecessor, the AMD Radeon RX 7600.

The brand new 7600 XT, which is able to go on sale on January 24, has primarily the identical {hardware} because the RX 7600 (which is at the moment on the high of our greatest low-cost graphics playing cards checklist), however with one completely vital distinction: it comes loaded with 16GB VRAM, one thing that’s completely important for those who’re trying to play any of the very best PC video games at any decision larger than 1080p.

It’s not simply the extra VRAM that the brand new RX 7600 XT goes to carry to the very best price range gaming PCs, nonetheless. The 7600 XT can be getting some larger clock speeds to assist get extra efficiency out thaks to the next TGP of 190W, up from 165W for the RX 7600. The RX 7600 XT goes to come back with a sport clock velocity of two.47GHz (up from 2.25GHz for the 7600), and a lift clock of two.76GHz (up from 2.66GHz).

One different factor to notice is that there gained’t be an AMD reference card for this launch, so that you’ll solely be capable to purchase it from third-party AIB companions like PowerColor, XFX, Gigabyte, Asus, and others. This additionally means there gained’t be an AMD card all the time promoting at MSRP to maintain AIBs sincere, however given the sturdy pricing of this technology of AMD playing cards, we count on that the RX 7600 XT will likely be equally well-priced. 

We don’t know but what the RX 7600 XT will promote for when it’s launched on January 24, however given the RX 7600’s MSRP of $269.99, it’s very seemingly that the 7600 XT will likewise promote for below $300. We’ll hold you up to date an pricing as we study extra within the coming weeks.

AMD continues to ship for on a regular basis players

Whereas AMD may nonetheless blow the RX 7600 XT launch with a horrible launch value, it wouldn’t simply be extremely uncommon for AMD to misprice its graphics card the best way Nvidia has this technology; every part we’ve seen from AMD this technology factors to Group Crimson having a greater learn on the place the GPU market is and appearing appropriately.

That’s to not say that AMD’s GPUs aren’t nonetheless costly (its flagship RDNA three card, the RX 7900 XTX, sells for $1,000, in any case), and if something, AMD undercut a few of its stronger playing cards by pricing them too near their subsequent larger sibling, making these playing cards much less of a price given the additional efficiency on provide for a slightly larger funding (i.e, the RX 7900 XT and RX 7700 XT).

However these missteps pale compared to Nvidia’s RTX 4080 debacle, the place Group Inexperienced’s most necessary mainstream GPU went on sale for almost twice the value of its predecessor, and only some hundred {dollars} lower than the completely unimaginable RTX 4090. This pricing technique completely tanked demand for the cardboard, and RTX 4080 gross sales have been pretty anaemic consequently.

AMD might need made a number of errors this technology, however this wasn’t one in every of them, and the extremely well-priced AMD RX 7800 XT has been reportedly flying off the cabinets consequently.

Now, with providing a 1080p graphics card with larger energy, quicker clocks, and double the VRAM of the RX 7600, AMD is primed to safe a serious victory as we come to the top of this technology of GPUs, and it’s unquestionably factor for players. Now, after all, we’ll want to attend and see how nicely the graphics card really performs, however we gained’t have to attend too lengthy to seek out out.
