00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.879
new graphics cards used to be exciting but now we've got supers and XTS and

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:11.440
it's hard to know if they're any good especially when the stack is now huge

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:15.679
and the price to Performance is not always what you want it to be AMD has

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:19.800
come out with their new 7600 XT and we've got power colors hellhound Edition

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.160
which is actually pretty cool it is a pretty badass looking box I'm not going to lie it reminds me of the old school

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:28.000
days when there used to be like anime girls and weird ass aliens and stuff on

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:34.960
the boxes and on the cards those were great the RX 76 XT has some pretty cool

00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:38.800
things going for it like 16 gigs of vram

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.840
and 100 more megahertz on the clock

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:46.120
and that's it that's like literally all it's got

00:00:43.440 --> 00:00:52.440
going for it we've got 32 compute units 64 AI accelerators 32 Ray accelerators

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.440
offering

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:08.320
trying a little bit here overall while this is an interesting release it's kind

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:13.479
of disappointing because we have been given something that we've all been

00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:16.400
clamoring for a year later but nothing

00:01:13.479 --> 00:01:20.200
else and I just can't help but wonder if they couldn't have done a better job at

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.840
the price that they're releasing this at what's cool about the hellhound Edition is it's got a little OC vers silent BIOS

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:29.040
you can swap that to whatever you want I'm going switch it back to OC because

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:33.240
uh let's be real this thing isn't going to get that loud when playing games and

00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:37.439
then on top of that it's also got an LED switch I'm going to make sure that is

00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:42.159
set to on when I plug it in later cuz I want to see how good the RGB is if it's

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:45.040
RGB at all it's two slot card nice and slim which is great these days

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:50.040
considering how chunky everything's getting we've got what looks like three

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:50.040
DisplayPort

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:04.840
2.1singles HDMI but at least AMD is

00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:08.560
giving us DP 2.1 not that this thing is going to take advantage of uh hbr1 or

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:13.840
anything like that they adverti that it's going to draw about 190 Watts but

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:16.280
we did see spikes of up to 230 or 240

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:20.120
Watts under extreme heavy loads now that's fine they're recommending a 600 W

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:25.000
power supply so even if you have a generally beefy CPU you should be okay

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.680
let's take a look at the size for test comparisons we went with an arc a770 cuz

00:02:28.440 --> 00:02:35.519
it's a little cheaper and also has 16 gigs of vram and a 4060 Ti from NVIDIA

00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:40.200
for a mid-range card this is about the size I'd expect I'm actually still

00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:41.920
running a 1660ti in my stream computer

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:46.640
and uh it's about the same size little dual slot two fan card that doesn't take

00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:51.519
up a lot of space fits in most form factor PCS our Arc card is what another

00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:55.879
like 30 mm or something it's nothing to scoff at the last thing you want to do

00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.840
is buy a card take it home and then not be able to fit it in your computer I

00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:03.080
really do like how Sleek these a770 looking feel though not going to lie

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:07.760
well that's not what we're talking about today we're talking about the RX 7600 XT

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.920
and I kind of like this one too uh the hellhound Edition is pretty dope with

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:13.959
these cool see-through fans I'm guessing that these are going to light up I'm

00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:20.840
really hoping that they're going to light up because that would look absolutely sick otherwise it's pretty

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:26.720
bog standard in terms of card height these days as well as uh all of your

00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:29.760
other dimensions now the 4060 TI 16 gig

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:34.920
and the RX 7600 XT are both on a 100

00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:36.319
128bit bus the ark a770 is on 256 so if

00:03:34.920 --> 00:03:39.599
you like that little bit of extra memory bandwidth then there's kind of a clear

00:03:38.040 --> 00:03:44.280
winner here but how does that translate to actual performance we'll find out

00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:47.680
after a message from our sponsor Jawa they make getting rid of your old

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.879
graphics card Easy by just buying it off you themselves all you have to do is go

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:56.599
through the steps on their site to get an instant quote and a free shipping label most sellers will get paid within

00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:59.720
one business day after jaware receives the part and if you're looking to

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:03.280
upgrade your graphics card you can find big savings on their Marketplace of

00:04:01.079 --> 00:04:06.760
cards from users just like you each card is carefully inspected and quality

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:10.360
checked to make sure they're in working condition and it's not just graphics

00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:14.400
cards Jawa makes it easy to sell your old rig or buy one from an experienced

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:17.239
Builder sell your old card the easy way and offset the cost of a new one by

00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:21.440
checking out the link in the description below all right that was easy thanks to

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:27.360
no 16 pin power connector just an 8 and a six pin nice and simple for a three

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.639
lighting modes we've got ice blue off if

00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.160
you don't want any colors or purple purple I really like the purple that's

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:39.320
definitely for me we're going to stick to that cyberpunk 1080p FSR turned off

00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:44.639
so it's all Native we are getting 100 frames per second which is actually not

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:49.759
too bad but you know what it could be better FMF is basically

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:56.280
just AMD's answer to NVIDIA's frame generation so we're going to enable FMF

00:04:52.440 --> 00:04:58.919
and instantly oh my gosh 180 frames a

00:04:56.280 --> 00:05:03.360
second it's not quite doubling but that is an enormous leap it's hard to say if

00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:08.000
I'm actually seeing any weird artifacting or anything that isn't just

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:11.240
kind of already in cyberpunk but even quickly flicking around like this icon

00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:15.840
here isn't doing that same kind of artifacting that

00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:22.479
early frame generation had let's see what it can do if we up the resolution

00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:24.360
for down to like 60 on average 63 61

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:29.000
okay not great it's definitely still playable let me turn on FSR gets a

00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:34.680
little better with FSR but it's still not great 88 90 frames a second and now

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:39.639
I can really start to see some just kind of grow actually FSR is not terrible

00:05:37.960 --> 00:05:44.240
feel like it's gotten better it's also a little unfair we're using a 4K screen

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:48.000
that's pretty big and scaling it down just isn't quite what we should be doing

00:05:45.919 --> 00:05:55.319
so it plays games but how well let's talk performance in 1080P atomic heart

00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:57.039
obviously loses to our 16 gig 4060 TI

00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:02.560
but it does slightly better than the Arc a770 in the 1% lows and moving up to

00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:08.960
1440p we see basically the same thing in cyberpunk at 1080p our Ark a770 loses

00:06:05.880 --> 00:06:11.520
once more but this time the averages is

00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:17.080
quite Stark despite our 1% lows being almost the same in cyberpunk at 1440p

00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:23.440
our RTX 460 TI actually really starts to lose ground here the 7600 XT actually

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:25.520
beats it in 1% lows by 1 FPS and loses

00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:31.759
and averages by only three moving on to F1 2023 at 1080p our Arc card really

00:06:28.840 --> 00:06:36.800
starts to struggle here losing 28% performance compared against our 7600 XT

00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:43.479
the race also gets a little tighter between our 460 TI in the 7600 XT with

00:06:40.080 --> 00:06:45.479
only a 10 FPS difference in our 1% lows

00:06:43.479 --> 00:06:51.639
what it really boils down to is price to Performance this card costs

00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:54.039
$330 and the reality is while it has

00:06:51.639 --> 00:07:01.759
fewer gigs of vram at only 12 gigs instead of 16 a 6700 XT can be bought

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:03.840
both brand new or or used for about the

00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:09.599
same price as this card maybe even cheaper than that so unfortunately it's

00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:16.360
just kind of a failure and I don't really understand why you'd buy a 7600

00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:19.680
XT when unlike NVIDIA where they're kind

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:22.599
of gaing frame gen and dlss 3.0 behind

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:28.199
the 40 series cards AMD is not doing that the 6000 series can do it too so I

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:32.319
don't get it it took them a year to come out with this and it's it's just kind of

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:37.000
a non-starter I don't see the point in getting one and uh frankly I'm a little

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:42.360
disappointed there are some minor benefits if you're into machine learning

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:44.199
or maybe if you just really need that 16

00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:49.440
gigs of vram for video editing or something along those lines and you

00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:52.440
can't afford a 4060 TI maybe you get

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:54.520
this guy but even then I'm kind of

00:07:52.440 --> 00:07:59.560
leaning towards Intel and going with an arc a770 for also around the same price

00:07:57.080 --> 00:08:04.319
as this overall it's just kind of a bad time to be a budget gamer the cards on

00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.440
the low end from everyone just aren't performing the way they used to thanks

00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:15.440
for watching ShortCircuit if you want to check out another video card check out the 4070 super that's kind of doing

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:15.440
better but it costs a lot more money
