Any real alternatives to an RX7600?

[Rob_B]

I've just had to RMA my 7600 due to awful coil whine & random CtD in games and I'm now waiting to see if I get a replacement (fine by me) or a refund.

If I got a refund I can't seem to find ANYTHING that's a decent alternative, lots of reviews are pretty negative/neutral on the 7600 and mention grabbing a 6700XT but I paid a mere £215 for this card (they're about ~£230 ish normally) and the 6700XTs are at least £300+, so for the price I don't see anything apart from maybe a 2nd hand 6000 series card coming close.

I guess this is more a sanity check to make sure I'm not missing anything!

Cheers.

Don't think there is another option for a new card, you would have to delve into the used market to find anything.

For £215 you've got by far the best deal available.

The Arc A770 8GB isn't miles away in price and performance, but rebar is required and some games still don't perform as well as they should.

If you were finding the performance suitable for your needs I'd just stick with it.

Cheers all.

I mean, it's fine, I'd like faster but £400+ for anything half decent is just crazy money I'm not willing to spend :/

Stick where you are, the market is crap and has been for a while. Start saving for your next upgrade or to jump on a second hand bargain. For the money you paid brand new you got the best you can atm.

Just try a replacement one. I think you got unlucky. I have a Sapphire 7600 and it's the quietest GPU I've owned. Even the fan is quiet. I also got mine here for £215 last month. For the price it's a bargain TBH, I'm having no issues running anything at 1080uw
