AMD Radeon RX 7600 Linux Performance

[CochainComplex]

I dunno... Looking from my perspective, I need something small, low power, and no shit Linux support for an HTPC, this looks really appealing. Maybe the 8GB VRAM thing will prove to be limiting in higher end games. But how many are those really going to be?

Most likely Consolports and UE 5 games.

probably, but wasn't the bragging quite recent?

I remember them giving nvidia crap over it since the Polaris days. Most of those remarks have seen been deleted however.

I have been waiting for these benchmarks so I can decide between this and an ARC. And it looks like - for my own specific needs - ARC is what I am going with: I am doing non-game 3D/VR that is moving towards benefiting from ray-tracing, plus a sideline in AV1 video, (and being Linux, wrangling Nvidia's proprietary drivers is more suck on my finite lifespan than I feel is worthwhile, so they are out by default). Also, I don't have the power envelope* (or case space) for a 'gamer' card.

* My local news this-morning says that power prices in my area are going up 25% in July. I don't actually disagree with the reasons for this, but still... Ouch!

Is the fact that my RTX 2070 is no longer on any of these charts reason enough to upgrade?

You can only include so many cards in a chart before the chart becomes cramped with too much information. The RTX 3060 and 2070 have identical performance in rasterization anyways. You still have DLSS 2.0 as well. If current trends hold, the 4060 will marginally improve on the performance of the 3060&2070 (I hope I'm wrong on that).

I would say hold unless the 8GB of VRAM holds back your gaming experience.

Thanks for a more fair review than the others Michael.

i am beyond confused why Steven Jensen from Nvidia Unboxed is calling this gpu DOA (even though, looks like all RDNa3 gpus are DOA to him) when this gpu is clearly faster than its predecessor.

Also find it strange that everyone is pitting it against the 4060Ti, which i think its around 2 tiers higher and 130 bucks more.

The best part is that the same people have the balls to call the 4090’s $1700+ price to be excellent.

So, about equal to a 6650 XT for $20 more, or considerably worse (-2 GiB VRAM, -60% L3 cache) than a 6700 for $10 less.

Maybe in a month when the price comes down commensurate with the die size, it will match the 6650 XT on and have AV1 encode as an advantage.

Michael Thanks for letting me know, my Toyota broke down, I need a new cheap car.

Radeon RX 7600 graphics cars become available around the $269 price point.

1. both are currently cheapest cards from both manufacturers in this generation. And so far it seems there won't be anything cheaper coming out, so from that perspective i think it's good to compare them this way.
2. Performance per dollar is a thing. I was seriously considering below 1000$ GPU with some kick ass Performance per $, but there ain't good one.(albeit for personal reasons that went into window, so i am looking at low end with 16gb or more... but there is just rx 6800 that is anywhere close to my budget)

Only by $15 to $20 (using Newegg prices). At first glance that isn't that bad and is a reasonable price increase over the previous gen.

However, and this is a BIG HOWEVER, these days a 6700 XT is only $50-$75 more than either the 6600 XT or RX 7600. An RX 6700 costs the same to less than the RX 7600. That's where AMD messed up. $15 to $20 more for the new model isn't that bad. When that $15 to $20 makes the current-gen low-end costs the same as the previous gen low-mid, that's a very big mess up. Because of that 10GB 6700 elephant, this should be a $239 GPU.

From that POV, why would anyone buy a 6600 XT or an RX 7600 when for $50-$75 they can go from being stuck at 1080p to having 2K and 4K capabilities or for the same price they can get a good 2K GPU in the RX 6700. The XT's extra 2GB of Vram and umph matters.

AMD has too many tiers of GPUs so that they end up competing with themselves more than they do with NVIDIA.

Why buy new AMD when old AMD costs the same and has more performance?

That's deliberate. Both AMD and Nvidia want previous gen inventory gone. It's why they're launching 7600 before 7800 or 7700, and also part of why 4060ti is such a shitty deal.

Those performance/cost graphs are great. If I would be buying a graphic card now, there would be no question which brand to choose.
