Summary
The card doesn’t really offer any surprises and as a mainstream card it is certainly something that can be recommended under certain conditions. That one finds oneself with the performance in Full-HD with a GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB was to be expected, a calculator would have sufficed for that. However, we also have to look at all other factors to complete the assessment. Power consumption is slightly below that of the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB, which is quite pleasing but not really much. However, my sample of the MBA card had technical flaws that the board partner card probably won’t have. I can already spoil that. It doesn’t matter if it’s about jammed 8-pin connectors or torn off pads. You can’t blame the Navi33 XL GPU for that, but only the QM at PC Partner. Once again, one has to say unfortunately.
Leaving these circumstances aside, the picture is of a card on par with the GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB, but with a bit less thirst, but also slight weaknesses from the QHD resolution. Small, cuddly and also quiet – that is on the plus side today. So in the end, everything also boils down to the price, as always actually. And thus AMD has to go over the price again, which at the time I am writing these lines has officially just been lowered to 299 Euro with taxes.
It is true that a GeForce RTX 3060 is already available in Germany for 269 Euros, but with only 8 GB of memory and also much slower. The comparable 12 GB models are around 320 Euros and above. And even only those are about as fast. To be fair, I have to put that first. Of course, the price structure of the retailers will also adjust again during the course of the day, so in the end everyone has to compare carefully themselves and estimate what they need or not. The card isn’t bad for 299 Euros and if the street price of the board partner cards drops even further, then it will be really exciting.
NVIDIA has really made it easy for itself and simply waits a bit longer with the slimmed-down GeForce RTX 4060 8GB. The market will have to show whether this is a good idea in the end. Because if you assume the performance of the GeForce RTX 3060 for the upcoming card, the price, which will still be available in a few weeks, will certainly hurt in the leather wallet of the left breast pocket. Because it should actually be certain that the 299 Euro will not be the last word. Unless unforeseen events happen.
After all, just the efficiency observations show us that the efficiency in Full HD is about the same as that of an older GeForce RTX 3060 12GB. This will look significantly different with a GeForce RTX 4060 as the final opponent, because its rumored 120 watts in gaming mode would be a whopping 40 watts less. And that is quite noticeable (see Ada cards of the graphics).
Conclusion
The Radeon RX 7600 primarily scores over the compact design, but is also an RDNA3 card with all the associated advantages and disadvantages. It is faster than the RX 6600XT and also than the RX 6650XT, but only on par with the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB with a minimally lower power consumption. For Full HD, the performance is completely acceptable, but I would definitely recommend a different card for QHD and higher. The MBA cards are likely to play a rather small role in the amount of RX 7600s sold, so I exclude the found faults of the MBA sample from the rating. If you want to buy such an MBA model, you should at least check its power supply cables beforehand and keep an eye on the temperatures later.
The board partner cards will probably be the more interesting part here, but I already have my suitcase packed for Computex next to me, so I can only do the individual tests after the trade fair. But I’ll at least try to do a short presentation and a short hands-on, because the card deserves that.
The graphics card was provided by AMD for this test. The only condition was the adherence to the blocking period, no influence or compensation took place.
