Same card as the RX 7600 but with higher clocks and 16GB of VRam.
Release Date 24/01/2024, $329.
The RX 7600 is currently selling for £249 so i expect this to sell for about £290.

If theres little to no performance gain this won’t age well.

Kinda disappointed tbh.

Its about 10% faster than my RTX 2070S and i have a few games where it runs out of VRam before it runs out of performance at 1440P.

Icarus
Rust
Forza 5
Star Citizen....... to name a few.

Its not much more expensive than the 8GB version, so it gives people who wan't a capable 16GB card for under £300 an option, its actually the only option there is.

IMO its a welcome edition. More options are never a bad thing.

I'd have preferred less memory with a higher bus, but I guess that's already here, 6700/6700 XT. This is going to look weird when the 7700 non-XT appears, similar to how the 4060 Ti 16GB looks weird against the 4070.

7700 non-XT? Have AMD said anything about that? fake rumor, no?

I don't think it does look weird, the 6700XT is EOL, its not going to be around forever and its more expensive with the cheapest currently being £320, and at 12% faster (according to TPU) than the RX 7600 its not going to be a better option than this as the 16GB version also gets a 9.7% clock boost.

AMD have done thins right, the 4060Ti 16GB is the same price as the RX 7700XT and WAY slower, at £450 is FAR too expensive for the level of performance you're getting, this, again according to TPU is about 85% to 90% of its performance and sub £300.

Its a clocked up 16GB version of a sub £300 8GB card for sub £300, about £40 more. Its a better buy i would argue than the EOL 6700XT.

Would have been nice if they shipped it with slightly faster VRAM,ie,20GBPS GDDR6 because the design is bandwidth limited. But as time progresses the price will drop a bit,and AFAIK the RTX4060 has a £290 RRP,so this matches it.

Yeah.... faster VRam would have been nice to give it that extra little kick.
 
I could have understood where they were going with this if it had the extra 12% performance and was essentially a 16gb 6700xt, but right now I reckon they've basically just looked at the 4060Ti 16G, decided that pricing and product strategy was a really really great idea and copied it. I can honestly see retailers trying this on at £329 for release and when you have had the 7600 available for £230ish in the past it's just not a good deal.

The line ups this generation just don't make any sense.
 
Just sad that still after all this time both AMD and Nvidia still pushing beyond what products and price we should be getting.
They really don't want to bring GPUs back to their correct sku and price position.

I hope all of the new products from both vendors crash and burn.
 
Time to bring this meme out of retirement, now for 4060/Ti vs 7600 XT (RIP 3080 vs 6800 XT rivalry):

Would have loved this, it would have been an insta buy for me to mess around with. I'm gonna look at prices before i do now, hopefully they'll come out with a decent SFF version too... maybe.

EEC filings, doesn't mean it is guaranteed obviously, but we do have a 6700 non-XT.

From the benchmark results of the 4060 Ti that I've seen, clamshell 16GB is just not comparable to 16GB with a bigger bus (at least,.. with similar memory), which is why I'd rather have a 7700 non-XT with 12GB (or maybe even 10GB) over this.

I guess the memory might help with visual/texture quality issues, so it is better than nothing, but it is unlikely to mitigate performance loss at higher resolutions the way that a bigger bus would have done.

In reality the 7600 XT might perform alright in the benchmarks, I just don't like the bus/memory config and I would always buy the hypothetical bigger card over this.
