AMD's RX 7600 XT Graphics Card Improves Its Mid-Range Lineup, but Only a Little
The last mid-range graphics card Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) launched was the $269 RX 7600 in May 2023. Reviews were mixed. While the card performed well for the price at lower resolutions, it was the opposite of future-proof. Gamers had little reason to favor the RX 7600 over previous-generation graphics cards that were widely available at knocked-down prices. AMD was competing with itself, and the RX 7600 just didn't bring enough to the table.
The main issue with the RX 7600 was AMD's choice to include just 8GB of VRAM along with a 128-bit memory bus. The amount of VRAM that can be used by modern games has been moving higher, and playing at higher resolutions requires more VRAM than lower resolutions. 8GB is mostly fine today, but that likely won't remain the case in a few years.
On top of the bare minimum amount of VRAM, the narrow memory bus limited how quickly data could be sent to the GPU. This isn't much of an issue at lower resolutions, but at higher resolutions, that narrow memory bus can act as a bottleneck.
