AMD RX 7600 XT Is a JOKE! They Messed Up…Again

1.6k Views 45 Comments



AMD’s RX 7600XT was announced to kick of CES 2024 and this was a GPU that was anticipated by a lot of PC gamers as it was targeted towards the mainstream audience where most of the community resides. With all the disappointment we’ve see in the mainstream segment in 2023, you’d think AMD would release a GPU that would shake up the market and deliver excellent bang for the buck. Instead they decided to do a repeat of Nvidia’s RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, which just means they’re content with being second fiddle in this market. This was a pretty easy and also golden opportunity for them to seize but AMD’s radeon division once again only provides us with more disappointment. You’ll see terrible reviews for this GPU, the card won’t sell, there will be an appropriate price adjustment, but by then it’ll be too late and then the cycle will repeat. What the heck were they thinking? Oh I guess AI is all they need now!

  5. 7:71 Deliberate? Absolutely, the prices continue to go up to $469. This isn't about selling 7600 XTs – it's about inflating and selling more 7700s.

  6. AMD and Nvidia treat people who have less than $400 to spend on a card like garbage. It's unreal how much more performance you gain from spending ~$300 to >$400.
    It's beyond obvious that both companies want to destroy the entry level that we've known. It's going to be 1630 style cards – a gap – then 70-class cards will be the new entry for PC gaming.

  7. Im still getting it, i just want something thatll run games decently for a long time as im going to make a real cheap am5 pc, upgrade it, then use the old stuff to make another pc, so I want the old one to be able to play games for a long time into the future.

  8. I wish that amd and nvidia would make like, a single gpu each that compiles everything they have, ofc make it max 4090 size but make it as powerful as possible. Not for sale, just a single gpu made that shows off what they are able to do

  9. You guys are fucking idiots. 6700XT are already going up because supply is finally dwindling. 7600XT will be $300 US by summertime, then this will be the price to performance king. This is literally AMD's M.O.

  10. No, 16GB is necessary at this point. While doing a redesign of my website with three browsers open (and ZERO games) I was using over 10GB on my RX 6800. You've made the mistake of believing exceptionally easy to verify VRAM usage is not exclusive to video games. Additionally I've already maxed out the 16GB @1440p in several games with all browsers closed out. I do agree that they keep screwing up by releasing weak cards relative to the numbers (7600 should be a 7500).

  11. With frame generation it doesn't matter whether its 144 fps or 200 fps, because other than making it look more fluid on your monitor, you have increased the latency just by using this feature, to a point that it defeats the purpose of high fps in the first place. This is NOT increasing fps, it is attempting to make a trade off latency to make some games that would otherwise not be playable, more playable.

  14. Danny I think you are missing the point. Reddit's AMD driver troubleshooting posts are 5 miles long each. and the average answer is "Windows format if the above doesnt work". Rly?

    who cares about price or whether they are good, if they will not work or get you to the point of madness with crashes and resets? gaming is supposed to be fun not to destroy you.

    Sure, one could say Scamvidia in a secret conspiracy with intel and its cousin, Microsoft, made it so that once you install nvidia drivers they will leave a taint on your software in order to sabotage your new AMD drivers with some hidden code deep inside the registry . (thus the format suggestions) THUS the replies "after formatting everything is fine" .. but..who here has the knowledge and the patience to manually clean all that crap. I just wanna load a nice game and enjoy it @4k 120hz. right?

    I ain't formatting nothing, just because AMD are losers. or they make too much money from other stuff they make so that they have placed gaming into the last of their objectives.

    so why try to review the rotten 7600 when even the 7900 xtx cannot cut it. 53 fps in MSFS? 60 fps in starfield? and you want me to spend my time to watch a vid about a 7600? what am I? a 12 yr old aiming for fortnite @ 1080 60fps med to low settings?

    Prices are not going down. And now with what's happening in the Red Sea ..the attacks and all… they will find a new excuse to scam us even more.

    Plus their tech never agrees to current tech. eg developers will.make a 144 hz oled 4k but their weak ass gpus can pull max 100. fo.example I need a 4090 to enjoy Crysis 3 4k.max settings. you have to wait for years in order to enjoy a game as developers would like your to.

    Developers have a responsibility in that as well

    they make games fast, aim for the money and do not optimize them, resulting in wasted gpu power and less fps. once they grab the money they stop caring in making their engines more efficient.

    this has to stop.

  15. All the current gen cards are bad, including to the very top of the stack being gimped in some way on purpose by the companies, for their NEW AI bubble cards.
    The bare min for a memory bus on a gaming card even of the lowest tier for instance SHOULD be 256-bit that should be the entry point. All high end cards at this point should be using HBM with its very high memory buswidth but they aren't, as they keep saving it for the AI BS and gimping gaming cards on purpose.

  18. i was kinda wondering why some people seemed to be excited….it's gonna run into the same problem as the 4060 ti 16 gb with that 128 bit bus width.

  22. its 10-15% slower then the rx6700xt but have 4gb more vram, its still a rx7600 but with 16gb vram if you not really need more then 8-12gb ram its pretty useless for gaming 😀

  24. This entire generation of graphics cards is trash. On a similar note, everyone is raving about the prices of the Nvidia Super cards, but those are still too expensive. Nvidia and AMD are doing everything possible to kill PC gaming as a hobby.

  27. Its a great GPU just wait for a week or two after release and it would be 290 usd then buy it only competitor from AMD is the 6700xt and thats only if you live in the US otherwise its gonna be more expensive

  29. I agree with most of the video, with the only exception being that 16GB won't help at all on this class of GPU and that AMD shouldn't have released it.
    I don't even need to prove my point, you can easily illustrate it by running max textures in games like RE4 remake and last of us PC release, even at 1080p.

    To drive this point home textures generally comes at low performance hit while making a substantial impact to game visuals so high VRAM on entry level GPU's are in fact useful especially for those into modding older games like Skyrim as well, but I still fully agree that the price is too high and that the 7700 is just a better buy, furthermore I do think that these GPU's should exist and are happy that AMD released it, so we just need to wait for it to drop in price to become competitive.

    Lastly games in general have become absolutely massive over the last few years which also plays a role in VRAM requirements.
    Noted there is a cutoff w.r.t VRAM amount on ultra-low-end GPUs, but the 7600 is not that low end and tends to compete well with a 6650xt/6700 which were midrange last gen GPU's.

  31. Are people complaining about the opportunity to buy a premium version of the rx 7600 at a reasonable price, or just showing their unwillingness to move up to the rx 7800 xt price point?

    Apparently some people just don't understand that the historical improvements in performance at lower costs for each generation of devices just isn't possible anymore.

    More performance costs more money now, just like a car. This is 2024, not 1994.

  32. Why should they offer ever more than Nvidia ? They already do at literally every price point and still nvidia users buy nvidia and whine about AMD. They have competing products now no one buys. lol

  33. 2023-24 AMD:

    We have influencers, hype, and open source "features", and that's about it. We could be disruptive, but we feel a cat nap coming on. Thanks, Nvidia, for being there so we at least have an actual reality to base our cards' MSRP!

    Those AMD cards are physically great looking though. Too bad the future is path tracing, AI, and on card upscaling. AMD is stuck in the raster loop. They are video games, AMD fanboys (I run AMD CPU's), not audio games…But I will eat crow if AMD has a hat trick next gen!

  34. Low to midrange GPUs just suck this generation. The high end at least saw decent generational improvement, but for anything else, you're usually better off getting something from last gen.

  35. Both AMD and Nvidia are just different sides of the same coin. I would not be surprised if they like it like this without any competition and just enjoy the status quo.

  37. You smoking some fat crack rocks my friend, 1080ti+ performance with 16gb of vram, with new memory speeds and new feature set for 329 will sell extremely well. Majority of you buy hardware you don't even utilize. I laugh at the dudes at my local lan center that speak like many of you here. They repeat all the words but have no idea what they are talking about. You all are so far from reality it's comical.

  38. I switched to an RX 6700 XT last year, and I believe it will last me a long time!
    AMD released a beta driver enabling AFMF on RX 6000. I tried it, but rolled back to the main drivers due to a bug where the Radeon software wouldn't turn on with Windows.

  39. I was never interested in the 7600XT, and at $330 nobody else should be either. For the same money you can get a 12GB 6700XT that's significantly faster. Spending another $80 can get you a 6800, also with 16GB of VRAM, and a lot faster. Or spend another $100 and get an RDNA3 7700XT, also a lot faster but with an amount of VRAM (12GB) that's correct for its speed and price. But let's be realistic. A gamer that's willing to spend $330 for 1080p GPU should buy a 6700XT that can do 1440p, save $100 more and get a 7700XT that can do 1440p ultrawide, or even better, save $200 and buy a card that not only blows through 1440p ultrawide but can make a strong showing in 4K, the 7800XT.

  41. 2:30 I feel like this is a really bad criticism. The only reason why it's possible for the same graphics card to have more compute cores in the XT vs non-XT version, is because cores were disabled on the non-XT version. Why would we penalize or criticize AMD for not disabling any cores on their non-XT cards? It's just artificial scarcity to create more demand when they do it. (Sometimes, it's for silicon defects, but again, why are we criticizing AMD for not having silicon defects?). There's nothing beneficial for us consumers by having two versions of the same card having different numbers of shader cores.

    Disabling cores on non-XT versions to create fake value in the XT version, is even more "low effort".

    5:30 This is also absolutely absurd criticism. "Barely any titles where the 16GB was faster, that's lame". I thought we as gamers were complaining about the planned obsolescence associated with 8GB VRAM Cards?? Why are we complaining about 16GB VRAM??? The concept of using FPS benchmarks on two cards that are the same but only differ in VRAM is dumb, we shouldn't be using FPS benchmarks at all, we should just be showing a list of all videogames and how much VRAM they use at different settings, with 16GB being able to hit more game/settings than the 8GB version. I personally think 12GB would be fine but VRAM is so insanely cheap that being stingy is really not the way.

    ==

    Obv, the 7600 XT is bad value, any criticisms about price are exceedingly warranted. The other criticisms on engineering decisions, really not so much.
