AMD's Radeon RX 7600 is based on the company's Navi 32 XL graphics processor

Slight typo error. It's NAVI 33 XL GPU core die, not 32.

That one is going to hurt Intel's A7xx pretty bad. Looking forward to how Intel is going to react to a 20+% faster GPU coming in at $300. The A750 will need to officially drop to $200, then I may give Intel a second chance after the seemingly defective open-box A750 I got the first time around.

So true. Intel already dropped the price of the A750 to $229 just few months ago, and I think it would be hard for Intel to compete with AMD and Nvidia now, even in the mainstream/mid-range GPU market segment.

Some custom A750 were selling for 229 USD on Newegg, so if Intel drops it to 200 USD, then I'm not sure how will they manage to keep with the GPU market price trend, or the sales.

I mean Intel is a third NEW entrant in the GPU market business, discrete that is, so I think that's the price one has to pay for being a fresher in the discrete gaming GPU market. But since Intel is the third contender so maybe they will take some more time to catch up with both AMD and Nvidia.

I'm assuming the next-gen Battlemage "XE2" gaming GPUs might give Intel a strong foothold in the discrete gaming GPU business/market share, but that remains to be seen. Alchemist actually failed to capture the market fully.

You got a defective A750 GPU, or only the box was open ?

Oh btw, I don't think I can even upgrade to an ARC A750 GPU, since I'm having a 4'th gen Intel core i7 4790 CPU platform. :( :neutral: And these new Intel cards require a quite newer gen of Intel and AMD CPUs along with Resizable BAR as a requirement.

For other low-end/mainstream cards from AMD and Nvidia I can easily upgrade though. But I doubt the ARC GPU will properly work on my old HASWELL platform.

I bought it open-box for $270 CAN (~$200 USD), had a missing PCIe connector protector, a small scratch on the IO bracket and my computer crashed about 10 times in the 30 hours it was installed in my i5-11400 PC. It crashed once while I was playing WoW, all of the other times were either while idle (twice while I was getting ready for bed - saw my keyboard and system lights flash while the system rebooted) or playing videos on YT. Some of the crashes were 4+ hours in-between, most were just me coming back from a crash, updating my post about my A750 experience while I have a YT video playing in the background and crashing again a few minutes into said video.

I updated my BIOS, updated drivers, tried shuffling a few things in BIOS, still no improvement.

I put my GTX1050 back in with no other changes, returned the A750, just passed 100h of uptime, so I can be relatively certain that nothing I changed in BIOS while attempting to 'fix' stability issues with the A750 affected my system's stability with a known-good GPU installed.

Without a second system with reBAR to confirm that instability follows the hardware, the only conclusion I can come to is that the A750 I got was probably defective. If the A750 officially drops to $200, I may buy another and get to confirm my original suspicion based on whether the crashes return with a different presumably good unit. If the crashes do return, then my next troubleshooting step may be a new SSD for a fresh Windows 11 install to eliminate software and driver leftovers as a variable.
 
Let's do some quick simplistic napkin math:

32bit Float
RX7900XTX: 61.42 TFLOPS
RX6900XT: 23.04 TFLOPS
RX6600XT: 10.60 TFLOPS
RX7600: 23.3 FP32 (best case, it seems)

Ratios: 6900XT/6600XT is 2.17 times and it's about 57% of its performance. The ratio on the RX7900XTX and RX7600 is 2.63 times, so it's going to be about 47% of its performance or whereabouts? That would put the card in between 6700XT and 6750XT territory. Best case 6750XT, but probably more like a 6700XT or around/under it.

Sounds promising if the price is right.
- I have a 6600XT and have found it to be very capable at 1440p

That's kind of odd, since I have not heard any of the new Intel GPUs dying this early, or are defective/DOA. Could it be your PSU causing the crashes ?

I discarded the PSU theory because crashes happened at full idle (AFK), light load (media playback) and at least once that I remember while in game and I've had 4+ hours long gaming sessions without issues. One of the things I tried while messing around with BIOS settings was disabling CPU C-states to provide a more steady baseline load in case crashes were caused by PSU transient response and that made no difference. I also rolled back my CPU and RAM undervolts just in case extra noise from the GPU might be an issue, no dice there either.

My PC runs fine for months on end with the most aggressive CPU C-states enabled (spending ~80% of its time in C7 right now) with my GTX1050, which makes me quite confident my PSU can handle harsh ~100W transients perfectly fine all day, every day.

My PSU is a 650W SilverStone Strider Platinum which I received as a gift years ago. Not the most praised PSU brand but still far more high-end than anything I would have bought for myself and far more high-end than what most people buying an A750 are likely to have.

Since it was an open-box, my guess is whoever bought it first ran into similar issues, didn't have the patience to try to sort it out, returned it for whatever reason, store gave it a quick whirl to check that it was still working, put it back on the shelf hoping the next guy (me) would either have better luck or come back with a more detailed account of problems encountered with the card.

Maybe you haven't heard about A-series GPUs dying because there aren't that many out there in the first place. Early failure rates for consumer electronics are usually in the 1-2% range, failed A7xx should definitely be out there even if you haven't seen any yourself.
