The long graphics card drought may be about to end. For the past few years, gamers have been suffering from crypto fever, which makes it impossible to purchase competent hardware at a good price. This may change with the RX 7600, with a starting price of 299 dollars.
Now is the perfect time for a manufacturer to release a powerful yet inexpensive graphics card. And yet the players had to wait, until this month there was two major releases: While Nvidia’s 4060 Ti was a bit of a disappointment, AMD is now here with the RX 7600.
The Radeon RX 7600 presents itself as a mid-range graphics card, which aspires to nothing more than running all current games at decent quality; so it’s not a “monster” or anything like that, but it doesn’t need it. This card covers a very important niche and has the potential to be a bestseller.
Radeon RX 7600, for only 299 dollars
Despite such a low cost, the Radeon RX 7600 is still based on AMD’s recent RDNA 3 architecture, also used in the more expensive models of the RX 7000 line such as the RX 7800. The price difference is explained by the gross power difference; even so, AMD claims that this graphic is capable of delivering a great gaming experience at 1080p resolutionwhich is the minimum most players need today.
Concretely, AMD promises figures which far exceeds 60 frames per second (fps) in popular titles at 1080p resolution. In Fortnite, get 125fps, in Apex Legends, 178fps, and in Hogwarts Legacy, 82fps, all with graphics maxed out.
The key to achieving good performance will be using upscaling technologies, which are based on running the game at a lower resolution and enlarging the image using machine learning and artificial intelligence. AMD has its version, called “FidelityFX Super Resolution” (or FSR), which the RX 7600 is compatible with. Over 260 games, current and future, can already use this technology to deliver crisp image quality, taking advantage of the performance boost that comes with gaming at a lower resolution.
Another reason to buy an RX 7600, especially for users with an older graphics card, is to use newer standards such as DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1a to take advantage of newer monitors and TVs with the new engine. AMD Radiance display. Content creators should also consider skipping, as this model becomes full support for AV1 encoding and decoding and other modern video codecs. You can even enhance the experience by watching YouTube, which is slowly making the jump to AV1.
The RX 7600 will be available in Europe from May 25, through AMD’s website; And on the occasion of this launch, AMD has extended the promotion of the game pack, which offers the title The Last of Us for the purchase of one of its cards. In addition, and as usual, several manufacturers will launch their own cards based on the same chip.
