ASUS Intros Radeon RX 7600 DUAL EVO OC Graphics Card

[btarunr]

ASUS over the weekend introduced its third custom-design AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card, the RX 7600 DUAL EVO OC. This card is visually the largest, most spruced-up custom-design for this GPU from the company's DUAL series. It's positioned a notch below the premium ROG Strix RX 7600 OC, which remains the only ROG branded graphics card based on the RX 7000 series. The DUAL EVO OC is 22.9 cm in length, and 12.3 cm in height, and is 2.5 slots thick. Its cooling solution features an aluminium fin-stack heatsink, which is ventilated by a pair of 80 mm Axial-Tech fans. The cooler offers idle fan-stop.

Out of the box, the ASUS RX 7600 DUAL EVO OC comes with a 2280 MHz Game clock, and 2695 MHz maximum boost frequency, compared to AMD reference clock speeds of 2250 MHz Game clocks and 2655 MHz boost. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, and puts out display outputs that include three DisplayPort 1.4a, and one HDMI 2.1. Based on the 6 nm "Navi 33" silicon and driven by the RDNA 3 graphics architecture, the RX 7600 features 2,048 stream processors across 32 CU, along with 64 AI accelerators, and 32 ray accelerators. It comes with 8 GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit wide memory bus. ASUS didn't reveal pricing.

Who is buying overpriced Shitsus crap(even for nVidia) when there are better alternatives available these days at significantly better prices?

Are there any "compact" non-Asus 4070 cards out there with nearly as decent cooling as the Dual I have, for example? Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan (huehue) of Asus either, I would much rather have bought anything else, but there really weren't any other viable options in this size - at least in Hungary -, so this could be a deciding factor for Asus.

Seems fine, I just hate that oversized pcb, which makes it harder to fit

The card being only 23cm in length can force your hand, I am sorry to say, to use Asus cards in some cases.

My biggest problem is that the fins on the cooler are oriented by the length of the card, not the width. So it will always dump heat forwards and backwards instead of on the side. The case I use has a top to bottom airflow, so dumping heat in the front just means the front panel becomes burning hot to the touch. Unfortunately the only Radeon 7600 card with such cooling that would fit the case is the Sapphire 7600 XT...

Better late than never, eh?

Why would your front panel warm up? Hot air still flows upwards, not to mention your case has some kind of directed airflow, right?

First, its only 128bit wide

Second, I really wish Asus would stop using the term "DUAL" in their marketing hype. DUAL is reserved for cards that have two GPUs such as Titian Z, and the 690.

Dual means dual fan. Dual GPU is dead, and has been for years.

Me, their ProArt motherboards are incredible, both in feature set and quality. Price isn't bad either.

...bit late to release this now isn't it?

The fin layout makes no sense. Won't the fans be fighting each other in the middle?

I have size constraints to. I use all the PCIe slots, so all these 2.5 slot wide cards won't work. The Sapphire 7600 XT seems like the only option if going AMD. There is the Asrock Creator, but it's a little too long, it uses the 12v2x6 power connector, and the connector is on the back of the card making it even longer when installed. It's also hard to justify spending half a Honda Civic on a graphics card.
