The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is the next addition to the RDNA 3 lineup. The card was announced earlier this Tuesday at CES 2024, after a series of rumors and unveiling in a Gigabyte listing on the European Economic Commission website earlier last week. The video card has been priced competitively at $329 and will be available starting later this month.
The most highlighted feature of the upcoming card is a 16 GB video memory buffer, as hinted by the leak. The GPU will likely take on the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, a similar mid-range card selling for $500.
Let's go over all the details of this new graphics card, including its launch date, specs, price, and more.
AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT launch date
The 7600 XT was tipped when its Gigabyte variant was seen listed on the EEC. Other GPUs that have been recently listed on the site, namely the RTX 40 Super series and the RTX 3050 6 GB, were also announced alongside the 7600 XT this Tuesday.
Availability of the card begins on January 24, when it will be available with every major retail store and system integrator including Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, and more.
AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT specs
The highlighted feature of the RX 7600 XT is its 16 GB of video memory. The VRAM, however, is limited to a 128-bit bus. Besides, the GPU is based on the same cut-down Navi 33 found on the RX 7600. This squashes previous speculations of it bundling the Navi 32 that is also found on the 7800 XT.
The detailed specs of the graphics card are listed below.
The total board power (TBP) of the GPU has gone up to 190W from 165W on the lower-end 7600. Moreover, the operating clock speeds have also received a slight upgrade.
AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT expected price
The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT will likely take on the RTX 4060 Ti. The two versions of this Nvidia card sell for $400 and $500, respectively. However, AMD has priced quite competitively to keep it close to the 4060.
You can buy the 7600 XT for just $329, a $60 premium over the lower-end 7600. There are chances it might end up being slower than the 4060 Ti 8 GB. The price difference will help justify the GPU. However, we will have to wait for the reviews for more information on how exactly it performs. Ray tracing and upscaling have always been slightly worse on Team Red cards. The huge difference in prices might exactly be what's required to keep it open as an option.
