ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon™ RX 7600 XT OC Edition 16GB GDDR6 Graphics Card (AMD RDNA™ 3, PCIe 4.0, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, Axial-tech Fan Design, Auto-Extreme Technology, GPU Tweak III, and More)

Early Q2 2025 update: AMD's 9070 XT (note: NOT the 9070, sans XT) are hitting shelves today. As I do not have one, I don't have any benchmarking results to share. However, the results from other people's benchmarks look very positive. The 9070 XT has an MSRP of $600 and punches with NVIDIA's 5070 TI (which has an MSRP of $750, but due to extremely poor availability has not been available for less than $1000). Both of these cards lead the performance of the 7800 XT by 40-50%. GPU prices are all over the place right now. At the right price, any card can be good. If you can find a 7800 XT for $400, dollar-for-dollar, it is good value. If the 9070 XT availability is as poor as NVIDIA's 5000 series cards, you may not have a choice. In the past we had the luxury of knowing the price of a product. Today, prices are constantly in flux. Instead of being tied to a particular model, be open minded and prepared to any card that satisfies your needs when it drops into a sensible price bucket (and know that it will likely not stay at that price for long).=== Original Review ===If you want to play modern titles at 4K/60 in ultra, the 7800XT is the currently the best mix of performance and value available.That being said, 2024 has been a pretty bad year for GPUs, and the 7800XT is not really an exception to this. I paid $440 for my card and comparisons are relative to that. Written Jan 2025, and prices referenced are the lowest I could find at time of writing.** Compared to current generation cards:- 15% faster than the 4070 (~$450).- 10% slower than the 4070 SUPER (~$550).- More VRAM than both the 4070/4070 SUPER (12GB vs. 16GB. Some modern titles use more than 12GB of VRAM at 4K ultra, and in this case the NVIDIA cards will be bottlenecked.- Under load, ~25% more efficient than the 4070 SUPER and ~20% more efficient than the 4070. Pulls half the power (15w vs. 30w) when idle and computer is not asleep.** Compared to last generation cards:- Similar performance to last generation's 6900 XT (~$400). ~10% lower power draw under load, similar power draw at idle. No longer being manufactured so availability is bad.- 5% better performance than the 3080, ~15% lower power draw under load. Pulls half the power at idle.** Miscellaneous:- Temps hit 80C under sustained load on the bench with no overclocking.- Fits nicely into my SSF case.- Performance/eco hardware switch is a nice feature that adds a bit of value.- FSR (AMD's upscaling technology) looks a little worse than DLSS (NVIDIA's upscaling technology) IMO, but I think this is probably preference.- ROCm (AMD's challenge to CUDA) works well on native Linux, but does not work well on Windows (including WSL2). AI performance is much worse than all of NVIDIA's cards in terms of absolute performance and is slightly worse in terms of dollar-for-dollar performance.** Final thoughts:Overall, it's a fine card.If you are OK with downgrading, Intel's B580 ($250) is currently the value king and is capable of playing most titles at high in 1440p. If you are set on gaming in ultra at 4K/60, then the 7800XT is probably the way to go.The current generation of cards are not great (the fact NVIDIA has released the 4070, a 4070 SUPER, a 4070 TI, and a 4070 TI SUPER instead of adding a new SKU should be some indication of this), so being the best of the generation isn't exactly the highest praise. New cards are likely going to start hitting the market in early Q2 2025, so hold out for a few months if you can.But if you need a new GPU and can't wait... well, then you take what you can get.5 stars only because it's the best compared to it's competition, and not because it's a card that will be remembered fondly in 10 years time.

I'm really enjoying this graphic card more than what I was expecting. Mind you that I owned a laptop with a 1660ti and the graphics card that I had before this one was the Rx 6400 so with that in mind. I slowly been upgrading my gaming setup and so far the process has been a really good journey so. If anyone out there is new in PC gaming this graphic card is a great candidate to start your journey. Graphics are really good and you can go up to 1440p. It has Ray tracing, is good for VR as well which is the reason why I bought it. I'm really satisfied with my purchase

Managed to snag this for $799, not a good price, but considering the market and that the price hasn't dipped below $900 since, I'm happy with the deal. This thing is an absolute beast, didn't even break a sweat running red dead 2 max 1440p settings. Extremely happy with this purchase, and I'd be surprised if this ever reaches $599, to me, its worth all the $799 i paid for it. Highly recommend.

I recently upgraded my GPU to the ASUS Dual Radeon™ RX 7800 XT OC Edition, and I am blown away by its performance. It offers excellent value for high-end gaming and demanding workloads, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my purchase.Pros:Exceptional Gaming Performance: The RX 7800 XT delivers smooth, high-framerate gaming at 1440p and 4K. I’m running demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Black Myth Wukong at ultra settings with no issues. Frame rates are consistently high, and the performance is amazing.Overclocked Right Out of the Box: The factory overclocking is noticeable, providing an added performance boost right from the start. It’s perfect for gamers who want high performance without needing to manually tweak settings.FidelityFX Support: AMD’s FidelityFX enhances visuals, making games look sharper and more immersive.Build Quality: ASUS has done a great job with the build quality. The card feels solid and premium, and the design is sleek. It fits nicely in my mid-tower case without taking up too much space, and the dual-fan design is efficient.Cons:Size: This is a large card, so make sure your case has enough room for it. It’s a tight fit in some mid-sized cases, so check the dimensions before purchasing.Overall: The ASUS Dual Radeo RX 7800 XT OC Edition is a powerhouse of a graphics card. Whether you’re a gamer looking for smooth, high-quality visuals or a content creator in need of powerful graphics performance, this card delivers. The combination of great cooling, high performance, and strong support for modern graphics technologies makes it a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their GPU!

Unfortunately higher than MSRP but this variant especially absolutely smashes. Of all the variants of the 9070XT, I tended towards this one the most because of it's cooling performance while not being overly loud.Most recent AMD cards I've had all had quite substantial coil whine, but even at 100% load I don't have that experience with this one.It's chonky for sure, and it does not come with a sag stand. My case has one built in, but for anyone else that might be important to note. It's absolutely required due to the size and weight of it, really sucks that they don't include one for anyone that needs it.With the beta AMD drivers, everything is perfect and stable - runs anything I throw at it with ultra qualities at 1440p while staying cool even at max load.Super happy with this and upgrading from my 6900XT!
