ASRock Preparing At Least Three Custom RX 7600 Versions
According to leaked details, it appears that ASRock is preparing at least three custom versions of the upcoming Radeon RX 7600 graphics card, including Phantom Gaming, Challenger, and Steel Legend series. The list of ASRock custom Radeon RX 7600 graphics cards comes from the ECC listing, and these three are listed among some other yet to be announced graphics cards.
As you can see from the list below, ASRock will have three Radeon RX 7600 versions, all of which are factory-overclocked. The Phantom Gaming version should be a more premium model, while the Challenger and Steel Legend should be closer to MSRP. The Steel Legend is a novelty in ASRock's graphics card lineup, and we expect a similar silver design found on ASRock's Steel Legend motherboards. The list also includes the recently announced Radeon RX 7900 XT Taichi White and a low profile Intel Arc A380 graphics card.

They made a big point out of their gpu's being at a lower price but offering more Vram just a little while ago.
So to now merely match something that everyone is complaining about is just weak.
Had they kept their mouth shut we would have been as upset with them as we are with Nvidia with that weak 8gb, but no, they had to boast they were the team that offers more.
In both cases its also a testement to lack of progress when it seems the world is asking for it and they have been doing it on the higher end.
RX6950XT 16gb - RX7900XTX - 24gb
RX6900XT 16gb - RX7900XT - 20gb

RX6600XT 8gb - RX7600XT..........8gb
they should have done atleast 10gb like on the previous RX6700.
Edit: If the 7600 comes in just below $300 and the 7600xt just above $300 (both with 8 GB) that aligns with my expectations.
They most likely will as they been releasing quite few ITX stuff lately, I know their ITX mobos are solid, now I need the GPU :)
But is it then not better to ask a bit more and give a bit more so the card can last a bit more? instead of 200 dollars for 8gb, how about 260 for 10gb?
Just seems e-wasteish.
Stating AMD is being dumb and "bad marketing" and all that jazz for releasing an 8GB card in 2023 is incredibly stupid if you're not considering the price.
If it's about 300$ an 8GB card is fine. The vast majority of games that really start to hurt because the buffer is too small either require:
- Enabling raytracing
- Using very high resolution textures
- Using it on 4k or higher
When any of these 3 apply you're frankly asking too much from a VALUE GPU, these are not supposed to do it all.You can't expect a budget card to last you for many years without having to make compromises.
So AMD has three options:
- Increase VRAM for budget models. This will increase the price of the GPU significantly without raising raw compute. People will bitch about having marginal compute improvement
- Release a variant with 8GB and 16GB. This will increase the price of BOTH GPU's because you're effectively producing 2 different boards. People will bitch about the price.
- Release only a variant with 8GB to compete on price. People will bitch about the lack of VRAM.
There's just no winning here.I'm so tired of people slandering AMD for this.
Wait for the price. If the MSRP is reasonable it's fine. But if the MSRP is too high, by all means, blast them.
