AMD Adds Radeon RX 7600 XT To Product Stack, 1080p Gaming Card Gets 16GB For $329
by Ryan Smith on January 8, 2024 10:31 AM EST Kicking things off for the GPU space at this year’s CES, AMD is at the show to announce that they’re bringing an additional Radeon RX 7000 series card to their lineup: the Radeon RX 7600XT. Intended as a premium version of their existing 1080p-focused RX 7600, the RX 7600 XT bumps things up with roughly 10% higher clockspeeds, as well as a doubling the total amount of VRAM to 16GB of GDDR6.
This is 25W higher than the RX 7600, giving AMD’s power budget the room to absorb the additional DRAM, while also leaving some for raising the clockspeeds. As noted towards the start of this article, the Radeon RX 7600 XT exists to plug a hole in AMD’s product lineup, while also giving them something a bit more future-proof going into 2024 as 8GB cards become less tenable. With large language models (LLMs) living up to the name with their memory requirements, cheap cards with lots of VRAM have been popular options for small-scale AI inference, so AMD is looking to capitalize on that, especially as Navi 33 has been out long enough that it should have good support under ROCm on Linux.
