1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440
New graphics cards used to be exciting but now we've got supers and XTs and it's hard to know

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:11,360
if they're any good especially when the stack is now huge and the price to performance is not

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,040
always what you want it to be. AMD has come out with their new 7600 XT and we've got power colors

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,440
hellhound edition which is actually pretty cool. This is a pretty badass looking box I'm not gonna

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,360
lie. It reminds me of the old school days when there used to be like anime girls and weird ass

6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:31,440
aliens and stuff on the boxes and on the cards those are great. The RX 7600 XT has some pretty

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:40,160
cool things going for it like 16 gigs of VRAM and 100 more megahertz on the clock and that's it

8
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:48,160
that's like literally all it's got going for it. We've got 32 compute units 64 AI accelerators

9
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:55,360
32 ray accelerators offering 22.57 tflops of performance power it's also releasing alongside

10
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,280
AMD's frame generation competitor fluid motion frames which we're gonna try in a little bit here

11
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:08,720
overall while this is an interesting release it's kind of disappointing because we have been given

12
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:15,920
something that we've all been clamoring for a year later but nothing else and I just can't help but

13
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,320
wonder if they couldn't have done a better job at the price that they're releasing this at. What's

14
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:25,360
cool about the hellhound edition is it's got a little OC versus silent BIOS so you can swap that

15
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,120
to whatever you want. I'm gonna switch it back to OC because let's be real this thing isn't gonna

16
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,560
get that loud when playing games and then on top of that it's also got an LED switch I'm gonna make

17
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,280
sure that is set to on when I plug it in later because I want to see how good the RGB is if it's

18
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,640
RGB at all. It's two slot card nice and slim which is great these days considering how chunky

19
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:51,760
everything's getting we've got what looks like three DisplayPort 2.1s and one HDMI 2.1 this is a

20
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,080
really minor great but I actually hate that they've got like DisplayPort HDMI and then two more

21
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:02,480
display ports like why can't you just have like three DP and then one HDMI but at least AMD is

22
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,840
giving us DP 2.1 not that this thing is gonna take advantage of you HBR 10 or anything like that

23
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:13,840
they advertise that it's gonna draw about 190 watts but we did see spikes up to 230 or 240

24
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,360
watts under extreme heavy loads now that's fine they're recommending a 600 watt power supply so even

25
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,960
if you have a generally beefy CPU you should be okay let's take a look at the size for a test

26
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:31,760
comparisons we went with an ARC a770 because it's a little cheaper and also has 16 gigs of VRAM

27
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,960
and a 4060 Ti from NVIDIA for a mid-range card this is about the size I'd expect I'm actually

28
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:42,960
still running a 1660 Ti in my stream computer and it's about the same size little dual slot

29
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:49,040
2 fan card that doesn't take up a lot of space fits in most form factor PCs our ARC card is what

30
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,600
another like 30 millimeters or something it's nothing to scoff at the last thing you want to do

31
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,400
is buy a card take it home and then not be able to fit it in your computer I really do like how

32
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,280
sleek these a770s look and feel though not gonna lie well that's not what we're talking about today

33
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,040
we're talking about the RX 7600 XT and I kind of like this one too the Hellhound Edition is pretty

34
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,520
dope with these cool see-through fans I'm guessing that these are gonna light up I'm really hoping

35
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,400
that they're gonna light up because that would look absolutely sick otherwise it's pretty bog

36
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,680
standard in terms of card height these days as well as all of your other dimensions now the 4060 Ti

37
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:35,360
16 gig and the RX 7600 XT are both on a 128 bit bus the ARC a770 is on 256 so if you like that a

38
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,680
little bit of extra memory bandwidth then there's kind of a clear winner here all right that was easy

39
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,720
thanks to no 16 pin power connector just an 8 and a 6 pin nice and simple for our three lighting

40
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:52,320
modes we've got ice blue off if you don't want any colors or purple I really like the purple that's

41
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:58,400
definitely for me we're gonna stick to that cyberpunk 1080p FSR turned off so it's all native

42
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:05,040
we're getting 100 frames per second which is actually not too bad but you know what

43
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,680
it could be better FMF is basically just AMD's answer to NVIDIA's frame generation so we're

44
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:19,600
gonna enable FMF and instantly oh my gosh 180 frames a second it's not quite doubling but

45
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:25,360
that is an enormous leap it's hard to say if I'm actually seeing any weird artifacting or anything

46
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:31,040
that isn't just kind of already in cyberpunk but even quickly flicking around like this icon here

47
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,280
isn't doing that same kind of artifacting that early frame generation had let's see what it can do

48
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:44,880
if we up the resolution we'll for down to like 60 on average 63 61 okay not great it's definitely

49
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,360
still playable let me turn on FSR gets a little better with FSR but it's still not great 88 90

50
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,920
frames a second and now I can really start to see some just kind of grow actually FSR is not

51
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,040
terrible I feel like it's gotten better it's also a little unfair we're using a 4k screen that's

52
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,920
pretty big and scaling it down just isn't quite what we should be doing so it plays games but

53
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:16,240
how well let's talk performance and 1080p atomic heart obviously loses to our 16 gig 4060ti but

54
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,480
it does slightly better than the arc a770 in the 1% lows and moving up to 1440p we see basically

55
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:29,760
the same thing in cyberpunk at 1080p our arc a770 loses once more but this time the averages is

56
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:37,280
quite stark despite our 1% lows being almost the same in cyberpunk at 1440p our rtx 4060ti actually

57
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:44,320
really starts to lose ground here the 7600xt actually beats it in 1% lows by 1 FPS and loses

58
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:51,120
in averages by only three moving on to f1 2023 at 1080p our arc card really starts to struggle here

59
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:58,000
losing 28 performance compared against our 7600xt the race also gets a little tighter between our

60
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:05,840
4060ti and the 7600xt with only a 10 FPS difference in our 1% lows what it really boils down to is

61
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:13,360
priced to performance this card costs 330 dollars and the reality is while it has fewer gigs of

62
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:22,560
VRAM at only 12 gigs instead of 16 a 6700xt can be bought both brand new or used for about the

63
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:29,680
same price as this card maybe even cheaper than that so unfortunately it's just kind of a failure

64
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:37,360
and i don't really understand why you'd buy a 7600xt when unlike NVIDIA where they're kind of

65
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,720
gating frame gen and dls s 3.0 behind the 40 series cards AMD is not doing that the 6000 series

66
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,960
can do it too so i don't get it it took them a year to come out with this and it's just kind of a

67
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:57,360
non-starter i don't see the point in getting one and uh frankly i'm a little disappointed there are

68
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,520
some minor benefits if you're into machine learning or maybe if you just really need that 16 gigs of

69
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:10,000
VRAM for video editing or something along those lines and you can't afford a 4060ti maybe you

70
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,720
get this guy but even then i'm kind of leaning towards Intel and going with an arc a770 for

71
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:22,160
also around the same price as this overall it's just kind of a bad time to be a budget gamer the

72
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,440
cards on the low end from everyone just aren't performing the way they used to thanks for watching

73
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,560
ShortCircuit if you want to check out another video card check out the 4070 super that's kind of

74
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,920
doing better but it costs a lot more money
