RX 7600XT 16GB Launched.

Ah Wipeout, what a game. Thinking back I'm amazed that was playable on an OG Playstation controller!

Yeah it was all fingers and thumbs, like an old-school arcade game, by then 1980's was old-school, dexterity at speed was a must.

I used to love that game, i played the first 2 or 3 versions of it, after that i moved on to PC, the 2017 version looks cool, i'm guessing one would need a PS4 emulator?

You mean Omega Collection? I bought a mint copy from the jungle ages ago for about 5 quid, it's great in VR! Not recommended if VR makes you queasy.

Sorry for double reply. Omega collection is Wipeout Pure,Wipeout Pulse (both remastered from PSP) And Wipeout 2048 from PSvita. It's a Mish mash of previous Wipeout games in one Collection,all upgraded, remastered,and fully playable in VR.PS4 Pro supports 4k all at flawless 60fps. Dunno about PS5. I wanna go play it now

Thanks, i'll have a look

The Amateur PS4 is also Flawless 60fps @1080p just fyi. It also supports full VR across the whole game.

Would this be a good GPU for a new mid range 1080p gaming build? If it's around £300 it's the right kind of price point for me. Would it be good enough if I wanted to try VR in the future?

Perfect for 1080p, not sure about vr I seem to recall amd GPU to not be so good at vr, but sure someone will be along shortly to confirm

Thank you. Yeah I have read that, but also read that they fixed VR issues with drivers. Not sure what to believe to be honest.

I’d be looking at used 3080/6800XT which will be 50% faster, you can pick those up off MM for about £350

Thanks, I'll check the MM out when I get my access back.

Its an interesting choice for me. Would like to upgrade my 5600XT and the 16GB will be good for me using resolve.

That and AI stuff like Stable Diffusion, i can see tech jurnoes now..... "these have no reason to exist, they are stupid" they are sub $300 AI cards, the only ones.... its not stupid at all, its quite clever.

Don't know about resolve, but for gaming, I wouldn't bother. The 6600 was barely any faster and the 7600 is only 25% on the 6600.

 

[humbug]

Yes, a 5600XT is equivalent to an RTX 2060.

AMD Radeon RX 6600 Review - Great for 1080p Gaming

AMD's Radeon RX 6600 is an excellent choice for 1080p Full HD gaming. As our review shows, the red team's latest release has enough power to achieve 60 FPS at maximum details, yet doesn't require much power to do so. It's actually the most energy-efficient graphics card we ever tested, which...

So you're looking at +37%.

AMD Radeon RX 7600 Review - For 1080p Gamers

Today AMD is launching their Radeon RX 7600, which is targeted at gamers with 1080p Full HD screens. Our review confirms that thanks to the new RDNA3 graphics architecture, the new card is highly energy efficient.

Tho what we have learned from the 4060Ti 16GB is that the extra VRam does make a bigger difference in some games, and its more future proofed than a 8GB equivalent.

yes for resolve GPU memory will be leveraged if it is there. it will be better than an 8GB 6600XT (Have one in the kids computer). The 7600 is a significant upgrade over the 5600XT

It’s only got a 128bit bus though so will be held back by bandwidth limitations, probably better to wait and see what Intel does with Battlemage.

like **** I will.

Well we’ll see but I have a feeling Intel will shake up the lower end when Battlemage arrives later this year as let’s face it both Nvidia and AMDs low end next gen stuff has been awful.

So will Intel's as they will base what they release on the other AMD and Nvidia. Your not going to get a 7800xt card for 7600xt money from intel

Probably not but you may get a 7700XT.
