Keeping up with Nvidia, AMD announces the RX 7600 XT
We’re just past the first week of the new year and it’s all hands on deck for rivals Nvidia and AMD. With the former announcing three new RTX 4000 SUPER graphics cards, the latter was quick to unveil a boosted version of one of its current gen products.
Announced at CES 2024, AMD is launching the Radeon RX 7600 XT, a somewhat enhanced version of the 7600 that released last May. While it’s admittedly at the lower end of the 7000 series, the XT variant does offer 16 GM of VRAM, double what the non-XT version has.
Introducing the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT Graphics Card.
Featuring 16 GB of memory, it offers high frame rate, immersive 1080p gaming in the latest titles, and the power to step up to 1440p with next-gen technologies.

This sort of puts it on par with the likes of the 7800 XT and 7900 GRE, but only in terms of memory size. However, this does mean it will at least be a cheaper choice than the more enthusiast models, starting at $329.
The double RAM is probably the biggest draw of the RX 7600 XT, but it offers other spec improvements as well. For example, it features boost clock speeds of up to 2755 MHz against the regular 7600’s 2655 MHz.
The newer model will also have 22.57 TFLOPS. Compared to its predecessor’s 21.75, it’s another bit of extra juice for the XT variant.
Outside that, I wouldn’t expect a huge performance difference between the two. It’s also said to use a bit more power, with a TDP of 190W (versus 165W). However, what you can expect is the RX 7600 XT to be available from January 24. If you are interested in it, that is.
