AMD RX 7600 XT vs RX 6750 XT GPU faceoff: Two $300 AMD cards duke it out for mainstream supremacy

[Admin]

The AMD RX 7600 XT 16GB takes on AMD's older RX 6750 XT 12GB, offering 33% more VRAM and a newer architecture but with less raw compute. These two GPUs may cost around $300, but only one card will emerge as the winner of this GPU faceoff.

Not really a proper match up though is it?

It is a proper match up, because they're very close in price, both around $300-330 at Newegg.

Yeah, which means one of them is overpriced for the performance it offers! Can you guess which one?

Which is why having these head-to-head match-up benefits buyers and the market.

Idk, I'll have to read the fine article. 🙂

Just as an experiment, based on TechPowerUp and Newegg:

RX 6600 = $180-200 (1x)
RX 6600 XT = $220-240 (1.15x for 1.21x$)
RX 7600 = $250-270 (1.26x for 1.37x$)
RX 7600 XT = $320-330 (1.3x for 1.71x$)
RX 6750 XT = $300-320 (1.5x for 1.63x$)
RX 7700 XT = $375-400 (1.73x for 2.04x$)

None of these prices are too inspiring. I'd prefer they were all at least $50 cheaper. But the 6750 XT is not so bad at the moment. There are a few coupon codes right now on Newegg bringing it closer to $300.

When the 7700 XT dips below $370 as it has occasionally, it is a contender due to being a good deal faster than 6700/6750 XT. In Tom's review the 7700 XT was 20-26% faster than the 6750 XT at 1440p which allowed it to reach at least 60 FPS in all cases when the 6750 XT fell short.

I dont see the point in this article.
Lets pit an older but better GPU thats fallen in price to a newer lower tier GPU thats at the same price point the older one is now?
So if you were to test a 3090ti against a 4070ti would you conclude the 3090ti is a better buy despite the fact they run pretty much neck and neck yet the older card can use 500w+ if you let it to do the same work?

The point is that if you are interested in buying a GPU in the 300 dollars range, then after reading this article, you are better informed about two available choices in that price category.

The point is to inform the customer, that is the entire point of comparison reviews and benchmarks.

Both cards have pros and cons, but on the whole the RX 6750 XT ends up being a better card because it's faster. The difference in VRAM and power efficiency don't really matter when you're getting 25-30% more performance with a $20-40 price difference. You also don't need 16GB of VRAM when both cards are going to perform best at lower resolutions with medium to high settings.

Would you pay $40 more for the 6750 XT that will last longer and won't need to be upgraded as soon as the 7600 Xt?

The problem is the way the introduction of the article was written. While yes, it's good to inform buyers of what your best ~$300 bang-for-buck AMD GPU is, it isn't until the fourth paragraph down that it's finally established that the 6750 XT is one tier up from the 7600 XT. Heck, it's really like 1.5 tiers higher as the die size alone is more than 50% larger on the 6750 XT, though memory interface width is one tier higher.

I don't mean to critique the author, and I think part of the problem is the intended audience; hardcore enthusiasts are kind of scratching our heads going "yeah, uh, yeah, of course" while the more mainstream GPU buyer and PC builder crowd might find the results less obvious and indeed care mostly about the performance at this price point, along with features and power efficiency.

Well in that case why not a 2080Ti? thats around £300 and will run rings round both these cards, my real question on this is the 6700 series card does not have the same power savings or for that matter newer structure, sell either of those 3 years down the line and the 6 series card will be worth not a lot

Hardcore PC enthusiasts aren't the intended market for our faceoff articles. There's a decent amount of traffic to be had in targeting specific comparisons that less knowledgeable gamers might be interested in considering, and informing such people is the purpose. Ideally, you could take our GPU benchmarks hierarchy and write your own faceoff... which is sort of what we're doing.

If the RX 6750 XT had disappeared from retail, we wouldn't make the comparison. We're not looking at doing a 3080 vs 4080 faceoff, for example, or 3090 vs 4090, because those higher tier 30-series parts can't be purchased new at anything close to a reasonable price. Since the 7600 XT is reasonably new and some people might be looking at it and thinking of making the upgrade, having a clear head-to-head comparison explaining why the 6750 XT is the superior pick for $300 should help people avoid making a mistake.

Some of these might seem like obvious comparisons with a clear winner a foregone conclusion, but in this particular case, AMD's own lack of generational improvements are to blame. Put it this way:

Which is better: RTX 4060 or RTX 3060 Ti, assuming both cost around $300? Or RTX 4070 and RTX 3080? Or RTX 4080 and RTX 4090? Every one of those comparisons uses a GPU from a "higher tier" — and several have actual retail pricing that makes any discussion pointless (i.e. new 3090 cards still go for $1400+ at Amazon and Newegg, albeit from marketplace sellers looking to trick people mostly). But each of those comparisons will be FAR closer than the 7600 XT vs 6750 XT (or 6700 XT).

Traditionally, we expect a new generation to offer a "previous generation plus one" tier of performance. Nvidia does that with its 40-series and 30-series; AMD does not get there with 7000-series (though it did with the 6000-series).

I appreciate the elaboration, Jarred!

Since the 7600 XT is reasonably new and some people might be looking at it and thinking of making the upgrade, having a clear head-to-head comparison explaining why the 6750 XT is the superior pick for $300 should help people avoid making a mistake.

This pretty much nails it.
Thank you for helping inform prospective buyers.

7600 XT is a nice product to exist, but nobody should overpay for it (7600 non-XT is already overpriced).

We saw the 6500 XT 8GB, the 7600 XT 16GB... next better be the 8800 XTX 32GB. :^)

 

[Eximo]

next better be the 8800 XTX 32GB. :^)

You jest, but a 32GB VRAM buffer would be exactly what some people are after on a decently fast and somewhat inexpensive GPU.

For AI uses? I mean c'mon, even the 20 GB VRAM buffer on a 7900 XT isn't fully utilized even on most games today, even at 4K and high frame rates (e.g. using AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D). We can all expect a level of "generosity" from the big gaming GPU duopoly, but really, why would they give that up for low margins??

I guess I'm saying that I'd appreciate that the super large VRAM option is available, but cost would also justify the production. Indeed, many don't want some hacked RTX 4080 or 4090 to get the memory that's needed for many AI workloads, but we'll just have to see what's available when RDNA4 and Blackwell rolls out -- both of which I'd like to assume are "very AI-aware GPU designs" (alongside many even arguing against the "GPU designation" when such device is specifically designed, tuned, and marketed for AI worloads, i.e. an "AI Acceleratior" or possible "AIPU" as in "AI Processing Unit" for short.

2080Ti have similar raster performance to RX 6750 XT in 1440P, Nvidia wins in 4K but AMD wins in 1080P

+ for AMD you can get New GPU with warranty at price of Used 2080Ti
I personally paid bellow $150 for second hand RX 6700 10GB 1,5 year ago
