AMD Radeon RX 7600 Review
mmorpg.comThe AMD RX 7600 Reference card is the first GPU for Radeon to release in the RDNA 3 family since last winter’s launch of the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT.

The RX 7600 also sports the I/O features of the RDNA 3 family of GPUs, from its DisplayPort 2.1 as well as HDMI 2.1a connectors.
