[CES 2024] AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT Is Official, With Increased VRAM & TBP Over RX 7600

AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT Is Official, With Increased VRAM & TBP Over RX 7600

Meet the latest addition to AMD’s RDNA3 family: the Radeon RX 7600 XT. This mid-range GPU comes with a whopping 16GB of VRAM, doubling the amount available on the vanilla RX 7600 model; aside from that, it’s also getting increased power limits to eke out more performance out of the same Navi 33 silicon.

Despite being donned with the XT nameplate, the Radeon RX 7600 XT shares an identical number of Compute Units (CUs) and Stream Processors (SPs), with a total of 32 CUs accounting for 2048 SPs. This is due to the vanilla model using an already maxed-out version of the Navi 33 silicon, so there are simply no more cores to be had through better binning unless AMD opts to use a much larger Navi 32 silicon.

Still, AMD has given the XT model 16GB of VRAM to really let the silicon stretch its legs. Games like Forza Horizon 5, which is among the games that are considered memory-hungry, see a huge performance uplift as the VRAM bottleneck gets alleviated. The Radeon RX 7600 XT also gets 25 more watts of power to work with, totaling 190W – and that means the clock speeds have been cranked up, with Game Clock now 2.47GHz (from 2.25GHz) and Boost Clock now 2.76GHz (from 2.66GHz).

As for the competition this GPU is aiming for, AMD is pitting this card against the RTX 4060 – which only comes in the 8GB variant. The VRAM advantage has given this GPU some pretty significant wins across some of the first-party benchmarks; apart from that, the company is pitching this in particular to those who own the NVIDIA RTX 2060, which they claim provides a 1.9x increase in performance with the RX 7600 XT.

Side note: AMD has also announced that its Fluid Motion Frames technology (AFMF) is officially part of the HYPR-RX suite, meaning it should now be enabled alongside FSR2, Anti-Lag, Radeon Boost, and various other performance-boosting technologies for maximum effect.

For the non-gaming side of things, the company is also introducing its equivalent to NVIDIA’s RTX Video Super Resolution (RTX VSR) video upscaling solution – though there wasn’t any name given aside from the generic ‘video upscaling’ feature. That aside, VLC Media Player will be getting tailored optimizations for upscaling and denoising features, which will be arriving in Q1 2024.

Of course, these are stock figures – expect AIBs to give this silicon some extra oomph through factory-overclocked variants as well. Since there will be no MBA (Made by AMD) designs this time (just like the RX 7700 XT), a total of seven AIBs will be producing this model at launch, including Acer, ASRock, ASUS, GIGABYTE, PowerColor, Sapphire, and XFX. AMD says the card will start at $329 at launch, and will be available globally starting January 24, 2024.
