PowerColor Reportedly Revisiting Fighter Series with "New" Radeon RX 7600 Design

Throughout the early months of 2025, PowerColor's new product strategy seemed to signal the retirement of their entry-level "Fighter" graphics card series. A natural replacement—dubbed "Reaper"—was debuted in an official capacity at CES 2025, with AMD's introduction of the new-gen Radeon RX 9070 Series. With the delay of Team Red's RDNA 4 global market release to March 6, the Taiwanese manufacturer proceeded with a launch of custom Radeon RX 7650 GRE Reaper models in China around late February. According to a past weekend VideoCardz news report, PowerColor is expanding its RDNA 3 portfolio once again. Their investigation has unearthed a new Radeon RX 7600 "Fighter V2" model—confusingly, this variant seems to borrow the recently introduced dual-fan Reaper cooling solution.

According to leaked information, PowerColor is expected to launch its "V2" Fighter model to a global buying audience. The AIB's Radeon RX 7650 GRE Reaper cards (in black or white) will continue to serve as Chinese market exclusives. The leaked "RX7600 8G-F/V2" product identifier indicates that PowerColor is keeping its "Fighter" family alive for a little bit longer, perhaps with a designation of cards that utilize older generation architecture. Insiders propose that the incoming PowerColor RX 7600 Fighter V2 model is configured with reference specifications; mirroring version 1.0's credentials. VideoCardz has mocked up speculative packaging (see below); they reckon that a black variant is lined up for an imminent release—the aforementioned product code has cropped up across retail databases.

They must have found some unopened boxes in the back of the warehouse because production has pretty much stopped for Alchemist, Ada and RDNA3.

Does this mean, the RX 9060/9050 is going to be disaster, or their stock is rather non-existent?

P.S.: AMD might have missed to opportunity to sell the 7650 GRE in time, instead of sell it globally, might as well the entire stock in a nick of time.

Really. It looks like both Power color, and XFX decided to flood the market with countless of SKUs.

Jokes aside, this is rather the case. Maybe they want to dump the RDNA3 the unsold stock, with "newer" "superior" and more expensive branding. Still fine, if the price is nice.

You know, I don't really care why these are being released. I'm just glad that they are. The market is so undersupplied right now that Newegg is listing a 6500 XT for $250 and claiming it's on discount.

If they sell the 8GB version at $250cad I’d be tempted.

Web search tells me that's $175 in greenbacks? I really don't see that happening. But if it did, I'd be more than tempted: I'd buy one.

It's the same here. Every non "Tie" 4060 and non-XT 7600 costs north of $360-400.

It seems, as nVidia doesn't want for old stock to dry up.
