Resource videocardz has shared the first official technical characteristics of the Radeon RX 7600 XT video card for desktop PCs. The device received twice as much memory compared to the Radeon RX 7600 model that came out earlier, but kept the access bus and chips with the same bandwidth of 18 Gbit / s.
For the Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card, AMD decided not to use the Navi 32 GPU, preferring instead the Navi 33. As a result, the specifications are limited to 32 compute units and 2048 stream processors. The main changes affected the clock frequency. They increased from 2.25/2.66 GHz to 2.47/2.76 GHz.
The amount of video memory is 16 GB. The device uses memory chips with a bandwidth of 18 Gbit/s and an access bus of 128 bits. Along with the increase in the amount of memory, power consumption has also increased – from 165 W to 190 W. While power consumption is still within the capabilities of a single 8-pin power connector, the render shows a dual-connector configuration. The Radeon RX 7600 XT video card is equipped with the mandatory DisplayPort 2.1 connector, while the RX 7600 may be offered with the 1.4a specification.
The Radeon RX 7600 XT model with 16GB of memory should provide higher performance in games at 1080p/1440p with maximum settings and ray tracing. In the graphs, AMD compares this model to the RTX 2060 and RTX 4060 devices when using FSR2/3 or DLSS 2/3. Although these are not completely comparable data.
The official announcement of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT video card with 16 GB of memory should take place on January 24. It will cost $329, which is about $30 more than the cheapest RTX 4060 and $55 less than the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB. It’s also $60 more than the non-XT variant of the RX 7600 released a few months ago.
