XFX Radeon RX 7600 Black (RX-76PQICKBY)

A modern mid-range graphics card with 8 GB VRAM released by XFX in 2023. It is a high-tech replacement for previous entry-level Radeon GPUs such as the RT 6600 and 6600 XT. Designed for gamers who prefer 1080p resolution. It is based on the progressive RDNA 3 architecture. It is equipped with an advanced cooling system consisting of three coolers, a complex radiator with many heat pipes, a powerful protective plate with additional shielding.

Like all XFX representatives, QICK stands out due to serious factory overclocking - its core is overclocked to 2755 MHz. Only select models like the Gigabyte Aorus, Asus TUF or Sapphire Nitro Plus can boast of such figures, which are also equipped with triple cooling and often cost more. The heart of the XFX Radeon RX 7600 Black is the Navi 33 XL GPU with 2048 stream processors and 8GB of 128-bit GDDR6 memory.

This is a purebred model with relatively low power consumption (approx: below 200W, requires a 550W PSU to power) and a truncated PCIe Gen 4 interface, which can negatively affect performance when using the card with older platforms that only support PCIe Gen 3. Despite modest status, its computing units are functionally similar to older models - they support hardware ray tracing, and instead of NVIDIA DLSS artificial scaling technology, a simpler and more affordable analogue called AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution is implemented here.

In terms of raw performance in modern games at Full HD resolution and top-end graphics, the XFX Radeon RX 7600 Black delivers 60 to 90 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3 and A Plague Tale: Requiem. When the resolution is increased to Quad HD, the average FPS drops to 50, the picture periodically freezes and slows down due to lack of memory. All of this makes the RX 7600 an attractive alternative to mid-range NVIDIA GPUs such as the RTX 4060, 4060 Ti and 4070. An additional advantage of the RX 7600 is 4 state-of-the-art video ports (one HDMI 2.1 + three DisplayPort 2.1) that make it easy to use multi-monitor combinations, and support for AV-1 specifications. allows you to efficiently work with high-quality video and compress it without quality loss. All this makes it an attractive choice for professional media work.
