Final thoughts

This luanch product is a story of two generations. On the one hand, looking only at the Radeon 7000 Series, the RX 7600 XT brings twice as much VRAM and faster GPU clocks out of the box, all for a mere $60 price increase. What’s not to like? So, check out the Radeon 6000 series cards that are still available, waiting to be picked up. You may have noticed a certain RX 6700 XT near the top of the charts, and this graphics card regularly sells for the same $329 USD price that the new RX 7600 XT comes with…

So no, I don’t like the proximity to the RX 6700 XT with this release (really new card lists start at $329 USD on Newegg as I write this), as it tarnishes what could have been a very solid update for the Radeon 7000 Series. I need to run a few more benchmarks, including a higher resolution test at 2560×1440, but I suspect the 128-bit memory bus will hold the RX 7600 XT in its battle with the RX 6700 XT in almost any workload.

As always, the market will decide if that $329 price tag makes sense, or if both the original RX 7600 and this new XT variant end up falling short. Or maybe the Radeon RX 6700 XT will sell out and not matter anymore.
