Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 PULSE GPUs Photographed Ahead of Late May Launch
VideoCardz has today received a tip-off from an anonymous source about a batch of Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 PULSE graphics cards - boxed products have been photographed sitting in a hardware store located "somewhere" in Asia. It is not immediately clear whether the Sapphire cards were pictured in a store-front setting, or an employee has taken a snap of stock stored in a backroom and shared it with their internet buddies. Previous leaks relating to AMD Radeon RX 7600 and 7600 XT cards have pointed to a May 25 launch day - so today's tip indicates that products have been readied well in advance of the anticipated release window.
The insider source claims that the Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 PULSE graphics card will be sold for about $249 in that particular territory. Specifications on the outer packaging can be read (if you zoom in enough) - the Pulse custom variant is labeled as being overclocked out-of-the-box, so it is highly likely that it will be fitted with a custom cooling solution. The packaging's blurb lists the presence of 32 RDNA3 CUs - indicating a full configuration of AMD's Navi 33 GPU die, consisting of 2048 stream processors. The Pulse card gets an Infinity Cache allocation of 32 MB, and a specification of (now typical) 8 GB GDDR6 video memory is confirmed.

No needs for this garbage
To elaborate, they don't want to compete with themselves; due to falling 7900XT (which essentially is the 7800XT) prices, it doesn't leave much room for the
7700XT7800XT.This whole generation has OEMs trying to continue charging scalper prices while also being up against prices of their own past generation products finally coming down near sensible levels.
This 7600 is a hard sell before it's even released, that 8GB will only hurt more and more. All this card does is make the 6700 10GB / 6700 XT 12GB look much more attractive.
No way the RX 7600 will be slower than the RX 6600.
In 30 fps, 3 fps more, 2 year later. The new Moore law.
But at least it doesn't outright start at $399. Prices are getting better, I guess!Right now it would be competing with two generations of Nvidia cards and one generation of AMD cards, while the 7600 is in a segment where they have much less competition. I think this was the official reasoning. It's also possible that they have complications with it since it is supposed to use chiplets like the 7900xt too. Take whichever you like better.Don't hold your breath. The RX6500XT was about on par with the best Polaris chips, but it had no hardware video encoding, and cost more than what the rx580 did at launch. I wouldn't be surprised if the RX 7600 was gimped in some way.
I'm just hoping that the 7600XT isn't also 8GB. If a card is capable of 1440p then 8GB won't cut it.
The theme of the 7000-series will likely be "~20% faster than the equivalent 6000-series part, but at a lower power draw". Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the vibe I'm getting from all the leaks and speculation videos floating around.
What really matters is how much these cost. The RX6600 launched at $329, so if this is genuinely $249 and 10% faster, that's a 20% performance/$ improvement, which is more than Nvidia have given anyone in several years.
It's probably targeting performance more like the 6600XT and 2070 Super. Basically a solid 1080p card that can do some 1440p especially in lower requirement based games
The XT variant (7600XT) will be interesting to see what VRAM they end up with on that one.
Bad option for old/cheap boards with 16x pcie 3.0 ? -
It's a graphic card for people with new pc, with money? XD
RAM 8GB GDDR6 128bit
(more clear image)
RX 6600 has 1792 SP --> ___Nothing___
RX 6600XT has 2048 SP --> [ RX 7600 has 2048 SP ==> Performance= 6600X·1,10 ---- Price $250 ]
_________________________________________________________________________
RX 7600XT has ???? SP --> (If 7600 use the full Navi33, the 7600xt use...) --> This board will not exist.
Moore's Law Is Dead say: The GPU launching May 25th is likely to just be called the "RX 7600", at least that is what everything is referring to it as.
It's performance is 6600XT · 1.10
