AMD Radeon RX 7600 Specs Seemingly Leaked
In line with the RX 6600 XT, updated with RDNA3 silicon magic.
Renowned leaker momomo_us took to Twitter to share a screenshot of what may very well be the production specs for AMD's upcoming RX 7600, the company's foray into the midrange GPU pricing segment. As seen by TechPowerUp!, the typeface and general design of the screenshot looks in-line with what we'd expect from marketing materials straight out of AMD; nevertheless, take the news with a healthy dose of salt for now.
According to the leak, the RX 7600 will pack in 32 RDNA3 Compute Units, working out to 2,048 Stream Processors - that's the same as last generation's RX 6600 XT, but more than the card it supposedly replaces, the RX 6600, which shipped with only 1,792 SPs. It seems that AMD's bet on this segment's performance increase is based on the architectural improvements of RDNA3. Paired with increased computing resources; AMD could have opted to increase the chip's Infinity Cache compared to its previous-gen RX 6600 series, but it seems the company chose to stick with the 32 MB cache pool. There's no guarantee, but keeping the 32 MB Infinity Cache may mean that AMD will keep the 128-bit bus as well.
Gigabyte recently listed a number of RX 7600 cards with the Eurasian Economic Commission (ECC), a step usually taken within a few weeks of release. The card has already been listed in Singapore (with a stocking date for May 26th) for around $410, but we expect that to be a placeholder price with the usual mark-up for an as-yet unreleased product. It's expected that the RX 7600 will offer around 25% better performance than AMD's RX 6600. Today's market isn't the same as those before it, and with the slump in consumer spending, it'd be wise for AMD to bring its cards towards a more attractive price-point.

The specs of the 7600 seems lackluster. 128-bit interface, and just 8GB VRAM.Reply
And on top of that AMD Radeon RX 7600 custom models will only feature PCIe 4.0 x8 interface since that's the maximum that the Navi 33 GPU can support.
It won't make too much of a difference in gaming, but still it's not x16 interface. The only plus point is that the card's power is provided by a single 8-pin connector, so need to buy a new PSU (total 225W of power (8-pin 150+75 PCIe)). -
But nonetheless, the card should be good enough for mainstream and casual 1080p gaming if it is priced correctly, roughly around $250-$300 US. Memory-intensive and bandwidth starved games and/or apps might obviously struggle on this GPU.Reply

Dr3ams In early 2020 I bought the 256bit RX 570 8GB version for 150.- Euros. If AMD wants to get people on the Radeon train, then they should definitely price this between 180 to 230.Reply -
Eximo RX6600 6600XT and 6650XT are also all limited to PCIe 8x and 128 bit, so that was to be expected.Reply
RX 6600 had a launch price of $330. I would not expect it to be less. -
oofdragon This is the first time older cards looks better, in a gen that could mop the floor with the last one... talk about greed. Not long ago a GTX 1060 bested the crap out of the last gen flagship GTX980 for less than half the price, and today the 6700XT can be bought for less than $300 while the 7600 is just short of VRAM at 8GB and probably will cost morte not being faster.Reply -

Did it? I don't recall that being the case. Matched it, maybe?oofdragon said:Not long ago a GTX 1060 bested the crap out of the last gen flagship GTX980 ... -
I just bought a second hand RX 5600 XT the 12Mbps version with max boost of 1620Mhz :( for 120 but to be fair I'm quite surprised how good it is at 1080p even with modern games, it's not like the versions with 1750Mhz boost and 14Mbps Ram are that much better, I mean if a game is only hitting 30fps it's not like the 4-5fps extra is going to make it more playable ..Dr3ams said:In early 2020 I bought the 256bit RX 570 8GB version for 150.- Euros.

I had been wanting to upgrade the graphics card in my PC from a trusty old GTX 980 (Asus Strix version) to something better for a while, but alas funds haven't allowed it :(
looking at the price of graphics cards these days and what you get for the money has not helped much either, even though the newer cards in my price range are better they are also very lack-lustre at their price point :(
So I just decided sod it buy something cheap second hand and wait a few more years.
I have managed to keep this old PC ticking along on a shoe string budget this long, so what's a few more years waiting lol :/ -

it will be power limited to something around 130watts as any other 8pin GPU, 8pin just gives you headroom for transient spikes and mainboard 75watt usualy runs just some low wattage stuffs as you dont really want your mobo to heat up and pcie x8 is capped at 25watts anywayMetal Messiah. said:It won't make too much of a difference in gaming, but still it's not x16 interface.
