Could the RX 7600 be good for 1440p?

For anyone wondering if the rumoured RX 7600 could be good for 1440p, don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place.

Gamers were buzzing when the news about the RX 7000 series dropped. Then we got the RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX and it proved the product was worth the hype. That was at the end of last year though, and since then news about the upcoming GPUs from the series has been thin on the ground. Now, however, rumours are suggesting the RX 7600 release date could be as early as this month. There’s even rumours floating around about potential specs and power consumption. While it’s all rumours and speculation for now with nothing confirmed, it’s interesting to see how the rumours are shaping up. So, does the RX 7600 seem like it could be good for 1440p gaming?

Let’s get into it.

Could the RX 7600 be good for 1440p gaming?

All the information provided here has not been officially confirmed and therefore may be subject to change. With that in mind, let’s have a look at how the RX 7600 looks to be shaping up.

Stream Processor count rumours

The latest on stream processors is an apparent screenshot from momomo_us on Twitter, a known leaker. This screenshot seems to depict marketing materials for 32 AMD RDNA 3 Compute units. This puts the RX 7600 speculated stream processor count at 2,048. This makes us pretty confident that an RX 7600 with this stream processor count would manage 1400p comfortably, and could maybe even stretch to 4K – although it would be more of a struggle.

VRAM rumours

The next major aspect to consider when you’re looking at whether a GPU could manage certain resolutions is VRAM. VRAM stands for Video Random Access Memory. The VRAM is where data is stored for quick retrieval. The larger the VRAM the more data that can be stored there, and the easier rendering high-resolution images with a stable frame rate is.

A recent Videocardz leak seems to show packaging for an RX 7600 SKU with 8GB. If true, this would be a big jump from the sort of VRAM capacity we had with other 7000 series GPUs. The RX 7900 XT ahd 20GB while the RX 7900 XTX had 24GB. However, it is in-keeping with the recent trend for mid-range GPUs. The recently announced RTX 4060 Ti has two variants, one with 8GB and one with 16GB. So, 8GB certainly seems to be a VRAM benchmark that developers are considering appropriate for mid-range models.

Although you may be unsure if 8GB is enough for gaming, we’re pretty confident that the RDNA 3 architecture you’d get with an RX 7600, combined with the apparent CUDA core count, would make 8GB perfectly serviceable for 1440p.

Final Word

At the end of the day, nothing has been confirmed about an RX 7600, although rumours about everything from price and MSRP to whether it could be good for 4k are swirling. With the way those rumours are shaping up right now, we would expect an RX 7600 to perform well at 1440p with a steady frame rate. However, we’re going to hold off on saying for certain until we know more.

We’re going to be keeping a close eye on this and will update the page accordingly as new information comes in. So make sure to check back in periodically to make sure that you stay up to date.

Frequently Asked Questions

With so much still up in the air, we know that there are a lot of questions that people want answers to. With that in mind, we’ve done our best here to answer some of your most pressing queries.

Is gaming at 1440p worth it?

Many gamers find 1440p to be preferable to higher resolutions and it allows them to play with steadier frame rates. This is particularly desirable for games that require fast response times like first-person shooters.

Has the RX 7600 been announced yet?

No. At the time of writing, the RX 7600 is a rumoured GPU that has not been confirmed or officially announced by AMD.
