WEBVTT 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:55.360 32 ray accelerators offering 22.57 tflops of performance power it's also releasing alongside 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:58.000 losing 28 performance compared against our 7600xt the race also gets a little tighter between our 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:37.920 doing better but it costs a lot more money
