Advanced Micro Devices announced today it is launching its latest GPUs aimed at players who want to play the games of 2024.
The AMD Radeon 7600 XT 16GB and AMD Radeon 7600 XT 8GB are aimed at the middle and low-end of the gamer market — people who haven’t refreshed their gaming hardware in a while. AMD showed off the new GPUs at CES 2024, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week.
AMD noted that 50% of PC gamers are not having a great experience because they’re running big games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Starfield and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora well below the optimal 60 frames per second at 1080p resolution.
AMD said the new GPUs are up to 1.9 times faster at gaming and raytracing than the GeForce RTX 2060 in select games at 1080p. It can display games at 1440p resolution, and it has processing power for AI and content creation.
