We were n’t expecting to hear much about AMD’sgraphics cardsin January , but a new rumor suggests we ’ll see a Modern GPU in just a few week . AMD is prepping the RX 7600 XT , according toBenchlife’ssources ( viaVideoCardz ) . It ’s apparently an updated reading of AMD ’s budget - focused RX 7600 , sporting more VRAM and perhaps a better dice .

To translate the rumored carte , we have to appear at theRX 7600we already have . It ’s an 8 GB graphics card based on the Navi 33 GPU . The bill of fare already maxes out the capacity of the GPU with 32 Compute Units ( atomic number 29 ) , touch 2,048 cores . If AMD is preparing an RX 7600 XT , there are two possibility . Either it will use the same maxed - out Navi 33 GPU or a stripped - down version of the Navi 32 GPU we see in card like the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT .   Hopefully , the latter is dead on target . Although the RX 7600 is a solid 1080p graphics visiting card , it remains about 30 % slower than the next stride up in AMD ’s lineup .

The rumour strongly suggest an rising slope to the memory spec . The RX 7600 uses 8 GB of memory board on a 128 - minute bus , while the XT version is bruit to come either with 10 GB on a 160 - morsel motorbus or 12 GB on a 192 - bit autobus . That supererogatory VRAM could make a prominent departure in demanding form of address likeThe Last of Us Part One , where the base RX 7600 performs poorly due to its memory port .

Although the RX 7600 XT is rumored to launch next calendar month , we might not see it at CES . Current hypothesis aver AMD will announce the card on January 22 and release it on January 24 . This aligns with what we ’ve hear about Nvidia ’s RTX 40 - series Super refresh , rumored to release throughout January .

If the RX 7600 XT is existent , it ’s an interesting counter to Nvidia ’s bruit Super refresh . Based on reports we ’ve consider so far , Nvidia is prepping an RTX 4080 , RTX 4070 Ti , and RTX 4070 for its Super refresh , all of which are cards above the $ 500 mark . The RX 7600 XT will belike sit around $ 300 with far low operation . It might be a typeface of AMD competing in a infinite where Nvidia does n’t have strong result , as the existingRTX 4060was a rather dissatisfactory release for Team Green .

There ’s a lot we still do n’t live about the RX 7600 XT , however . Leakers are only pinning down a January declaration and the retention shape for now , so we ’ll have to wait to see what else AMD has to share about the plug-in . AMD hasconfirmed it will be at CES this twelvemonth , but it has n’t denote a stately consequence or keynote . It may control the announcement of the RX 7600 XT , if the card is real at all , until after the Ce rush is over .
