I’m not scared this card will run 1440p at all since my 6600 XT does it considerably well. Just don’t expect to reach 120/144hz while maxing out the graphics on any recent big releases.
This gen’s sweet spot for performance relative to cost is still the RX 7800 XT, unless the 7700 XT gets a massive price cut.
Yeah; I’ve a 6700XT, and it appears to be a pretty even match for a 7600XT, looking at Phoronix’ graphs. Makes a pretty good job of 60 Hz / 1440p on recent games, maybe turn down a setting or two, and can usually do 144Hz / 1440p on games that are a few years old. If you can get one of those for substantially cheaper than one of these, I’d say go for it.
That’s a great point of reference for me. I want to upgrade from my 2080 to an AMD card for my gaming rig and I’m torn between saving up for X months and splurging on a 7800xt, or looking for a hot deal. Looking at benchmarks it would take a really good deal on either the 7600xt or 6700xt to drop that far down the line, given the effort of selling my current card. When I can get significantly better improvements for a 1-200 dollar difference if I just wait, it just doesn’t feel worthwhile.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
AMD announced back during CES the Radeon RX 7600 XT as a $329 USD graphics card for 1080p/1440p gaming.
It shouldn’t be surprising given AMD’s trajectory in the Radeon open-source GPU support over recent years and the maturity of the rest of the RDNA3 GPU line-up, but there is fully open-source and upstream support for the Radeon RX 7600 XT for launch day.
On the likes of Ubuntu 23.10 and Fedora Workstation 39 with software updates is out-of-the-box support for the Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB graphics card.
For those curious, and since it’s been a while since having my hands on an XFX graphics card, XFX does list “Linux” support on the product packaging for this Radeon RX 7600 XT… Then again it’s been fairly common to see across AMD’s AIB partners but always fun seeing Linux mentions.
As is usually the case, the newer Linux kernel and Mesa you feel comfortable running, typically the better performance and features.
Via the standard Radeon Software for Linux packaged drivers is going to be the RX 7600 XT support if unable/unwilling to upgrade your kernel or Mesa manually.
