AMD announced the new Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card, bolstering its mid-range of 1080p class GPUs. The RX 7600 XT is designed for maxed out AAA gaming at 1080p, although it is very much possibly to play many of the titles at 1440p with fairly high settings. You can also take advantage of technologies such as FSR 3 frame generation in games that support it, AMD Fluid Motion Frames on nearly all DirectX 12 and DirectX 11 games; as well as the new expanded AMD HyperRX performance enhancement that engages a host of AMD innovations such as Radeon Super Resolution, Anti-Lag, and Radeon Boost, to achieve a target frame rate.

The Radeon RX 7600 XT is based on the same 6 nm "Navi 33" silicon, and the latest RDNA 3 graphics architecture, as the Radeon RX 7600. If you recall, the RX 7600 had maxed out all 32 CU on the silicon. To design the RX 7600 XT, AMD retained the "Navi 33," but doubled the memory size to 16 GB, and increased the clock speeds. The 16 GB of memory is deployed across the same 128-bit wide memory bus as the 8 GB is on the RX 7600. The memory speed is unchanged, too, at 18 Gbps GDDR6-effective; as is the resulting memory bandwidth, of 288 GB/s. There are two key changes—the GPU clock speeds and power limits.



The Game Clock of the RX 7600 XT is set at 2.47 GHz, compared to 2.25 GHz on the RX 7600; and the maximum Boost Clock is set at 2.76 GHz, compared to 2.66 GHz on the RX 7600. To support these, and improve boost clock residency, AMD increased the total board power (TBP) to 190 W, up from 165 W on the RX 7600. As a result, the RX 7600 XT custom-design graphics cards will feature two 8-pin PCIe power connectors, or at least a combination of 6-pin and 8-pin; while the RX 7600 made to with just one 8-pin.

Another small change with the RX 7600 XT is that board partners will be mandated to wire out DisplayPort 2.1 on their custom boards (to use the required clock drivers and other ancillaries); they cannot opt to have DisplayPort 1.4 to save costs.

The 6 nm "Navi 33" silicon physically features 32 RDNA 3 compute units (CU), adding up to 2,048 stream processors, 64 AI accelerators, 32 Ray accelerators, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. A 32 MB Infinity Cache memory cushions the 128-bit GDDR6 memory interface, which on the RX 7600 XT drives 16 GB, running at 18 Gbps.



Thanks to the increase engine clocks, the RX 7600 XT is shown posting a proportionate increase in performance across popular titles at 1080p with maxed out settings, including ray tracing. The RX 7600 XT is shown posing a near doubling in performance over the GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB. The RX 7600 XT is also shown offering playable frame rates at 1440p with max settings (albeit without ray tracing). AMD is making the case for 16 GB with creator and generative AI applications, where the large video memory should come very handy.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT will be available on January 24, 2024. It is exclusively a partner-driven launch, there will be no reference design in the retail market. AMD set $329 as the baseline price for the RX 7600 XT, a $60 premium over the RX 7600.

So nothing new.

Edit: compared to nGreedia's 4060 16GB price bump for 16GB sku of 7600 is quite palatable.

Well, except for certain professional workloads, 16 GB on this narrow memory bus is mostly a gimmick.
It would be much wiser to have 8 GB and make it cheaper.

Seems like a nice deal for creators, still 60$ increase is a bit steep, compared to the 7600 but let's see the benchmarks

So, my first thought about that GPU when heard about was it being a factory oced 7600 with double VRAM. After a few days some rumour sites suggested it would be a more cut-down 7700XT and I assumed they had some sources about that, so I took that under consideration. Alas, my instinct had more value than that.. Let's see what the market will price that one at since the MSRPs don't have much value anymore. I can see that being sold closer to $250 in a few months no matter what will be its starting price.

Another one mediocre at best GPU if we are talking gaming.

To be competitive, it should've had more horsepower (I don't mind filling the $330 point, I do mind what this GPU offers for this money).
To repeat the astounding success of RX 6500 XT, this GPU should've been even worse.

Only interesting if bundles with a game you wished to buy anyway. Or if this N33 is so much better binned it actually can surpass 3.1 GHz with PL+15%.

Sorry, but this is pathetic. It looks like AMD has given up on competing with Nvidia. Ngreedia is crushing Radeon with Super series and all the Radeon group can come out with marketing wise is 16 gigs of vram on a 1080p GPU? At least announce new official MSRPs for 7900XTX/XT and 7800XT, something like $749/649 and $449. Please give us a reason to still consider buying team Red... coming from someone who has been team player since ATI times :(

Major disappointment. Not worthy of the XT at the end of the name. Looks more like a RX 7600+ and that plus on a small font by the way.

Sure. Radeon RX 7600 16GB would be a better name.
I should've guessed this is coming when they called it Navi 33 XL rather than Navi 33 XT on the RX 7600...

Since it is oced and has double the VRAM buffer, the added XT isn't totally invalid in my book. Honestly, I find it a much customer informing naming scheme than those 3 iterations of GTX1060 or 2 for RTX4060.

Really disappointment with the RX 7600 XT, it was the GPU that I was looking for, the 16 GB of VRAM, look good, but the higher price, same Navi 33 chip with just some higher clock speed... AMD need to cut-price of this GPU if it wants to sell good, but at this point, I think AMD is selling it as an "AI solution" more than a gaming GPU, everything same like the RX 7600 except the VRAM and clock speed, and the TDP is increased, if it keeps continuing and AMD sells the RX 9600 in the future at 400 dollars, with more AI things that help for AI training and learning instead of gaming, I'm going to start looking on that china GPUs like Moore Threads. If they get good.

I'll wait for reviews to pass judgement, but my initial feeling is that it is at least $30 overpriced.

I don’t see how 16GB on a 128bit bus is going to be worth much. In what scenario are you going to find this useful? 16GB is great for higher resolutions, but the 7600 isn’t powerful enough to be a high-resolution gaming card. I guess they felt higher clocks alone wouldn’t justify the branding. Shame they couldn’t figure out a way to double the infinity cache instead.

I wonder how much further they could have pushed the performance if they if they had made the 7600XT on the 5nm process.

That would've also help "digest" the 60$ price increase.

Depends what the price difference is in reality. Not the worst release IMO but maybe a somewhat pointless one.

The launch price isn't very good. I bet these will sell poorly until the price drops at least $20-40.

The XT variants usually come with more Cores, Bandwidth, etc. so this is really disappointing... What are AMD thinking ?!! They're going the same thing as Nvidia did with the 4060 Ti 8GB => 16GB
Come on AMD, you have to be better than that !!!

Doubling memory on an x500 class card doesn't help much. Should have launched as a cut down 7700XT.

Longevity. Same reason the RX 480 8GB was a better buy than the RX 480 4GB. It allows you to run games with higher texture settings for longer at your desired resolution and generally textures are one of the most important settings to keep high because of how much they impact IQ. If I have a choice between turning down compute heavy settings like fancy fog or turning down textures then the fog goes every single time.

Once this card drops in price it has all the hallmarks of an RX580 kind of deal, something that is cheap that allows decent IQ and decent FPS for a good while.

Both models need another $30 price drop. I'm sure that will happen in 1 month after AMD gathers the worst initial reviews possible for the 7600 XT and nobody buys it.

65w vs 95w is substantial. No way around the power limit so it will be a much better card.
