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.
