Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 PULSE Custom Cooling Solution Revealed in Leaked Photos
Sapphire's Radeon RX 7600 PULSE graphics card was leaked, albeit in fully boxed form, earlier this week. VideoCardz received a tip on Tuesday about a stack of products sitting in a retail store located somewhere in Asia - an insider source had taken photos of several boxes, weeks ahead of the rumored May 25 hardware launch. A brave seller on Singapore's Carousell online marketplace listed a number of Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 PULSE cards on the site, but these pages were swiftly taken down by admin. Specifications printed on outer packaging revealed that this GPU model packs 8 GB of VRAM and 32 RDNA3 CUs - indicating a full configuration of AMD's Navi 33 GPU die.
The embargo has been broken once again - earlier today VideoCardz published leaked images of the card itself (out of the box). The photos seem to be of official origin - perhaps destined for product pages on Sapphire's website(s) or online retail listings. A new PULSE custom cooling solution is on view - revealing a dual-fan and dual-slot design with a largely black cooler, accented with red markings plus a bit of white lettering. The shroud seems to lack any integrated RGB lighting zones or strips. An 8-pin power connector is present, possibly indicating that the custom card only requires 150 W (8-pin) + 75 W (PCIe) or more in operational power.

R7 260X --> 139 $
RX 460 ---> 109 $
RX 560 ---> 99 $

RX 7600 --> 250 $ fantastic price!!
Enjoy
R7 260X has 896SP (32% of the max R9 290X)
RX 7600 has 2048SP (33% of the max RX 7900XTX)
Also:
R7 260X has 896SP (32% of the max R9 290X)
$109/$549 = 20%
RX 7600 has 2048SP (33% of the max RX 7900XTX)
$249/$999 = 25%
Small bump in relative price a decade later, but similar.
_____
R7 260 768c 1GB $109
R7 360 768c 2GB $109
RX 460 896c 2GB $109
RX 560 896/1024c 2GB $99
^ this is known as stagnation for over 6 years, but the price stayed low, right??
RX 5600 XT 2304c 6GB $279 (non-XT OEM only 2048c 6GB)
RX 6600 1792c 8GB $329 (your mining MSRP) $200 @EOL
RX 7600 2048c 8GB $250-280?
The 5600XT bumped up x60 performance to the next tier, where it should have been much earlier. That old x60 tier was barely adequate x50-class stuff.
RX 7600 has 2048SP (33% of the max RX 7900XTX) and 8GB (33% of max RX 7900XTX that has 24GB ) and a 33% ROP-bit bus
260X and 7600 have the same 128 bits
Old 260X had more RAM than actual 7600 (50% vs 33%) and less ROP - bits (25% vs 33% , not too much difference)
260X --> $139
mining
7600 --> $250
That is all!
Is it that 10 years later in a continually updating tech industry that things have changed?
Because everyone knows the answer: Yes.
This is a low card for people who don't want spend money in it.
P.D: ...and no, the 260X was not the x50 class
"x50 class" were:
R7 250X (640SP = 22%)
R7 250.512 (512SP = 18%)
R7 250 (384SP = 14%)
R7 240 (320SP = 11%) it's cost at that time 45 € (tax included)
...and then, the horrible R5 230.
And by the time of the RX 460 and 560 those had very clearly faded to 50-class performance, with the GTX 1060 far exceeding the 4/560 and matching the higher tier 4/570 and 4/580. Those 4/560s were clearly 50-class performance products being sold for 50-class prices. Names are all arbitrary, their low performance was in line with the low price.
This was fixed with the RX 5600XT, matching and beating the 2060 and 1660Ti, delivering more fps per dollar than either. The 6600 continues that and we'll see about the 7600.
$250 is an entry-level no-compromise card nowadays, it is not "low" card as those are the 6500XT and 1650/30. The only no-compromise card priced lower than this is the 2-year olde 6600 which averages ~85 fps at 1080p on Ultra settings in modern games (not a "low" card), and unlike the somehow still-inflated RTX 3000 series is priced appropriately.
Yes, i understand you: "these are the mining times and you have to pay them"
Just we'll see if people think the same. In the sales, in the next quarter results, and in the stocks of AMD
AMD revenue drops 9% as PC chip sales decline sharply
There are $110 RX 550s on Amazon, buy one of those. Looks like you can get $88 GT 1030s as well. Enjoy your 384 or 640 execution units because that's where $100 GPUs have been for years.
By the way, I would not recommend that pleistocene garbage to my worst enemy. Buy it you! XD
The 3070 equivalent your speaking of will probably be the 7600XT which as far as I know hasn't officially leaked yet
Due to the small difference of Navi3 vs Navi2, they have decided to call 7600 to the full version, with the full Navi33 chip with 2048SP to seem some progress.
It'll have a performance of RX 6600 XT · 1.10 aprox. Close to RX 6700 & 3060Ti
If at any time 7600 XT comes to exist, it would have to be a completely different chip, with a bigger memory bus, ROPs, etc. Rare! . Or it also could be a ridiculous overclock like RX 6650XT.

Especially on the wafer front, there was little room to create a much better chip if people were willing to pay more, on smaller nodes there is a lot more room to scale higher up the price chain.
On the low end igp's have improved enough to make really cheap cards good value.
It really isn't that simple. That being said amd has become a lote less agressive on the pricing, so there is that.
I don't like that costs of goods and services have increased at a faster rate than my salary, but I'm a realist who understands that companies only exist to make a profit, and the market currently doesn't support charity to gamers. It will cost what it costs because AMD need to make a profit and if they can't make a profit it wouldn't even get made in the first place.
Cool, this one is obsolete before it's release date :D
