Could the RX 7600 be good for 4K?

If you were wondering if a potential RX 7600 could be good for 4K, then don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place.

Rumours are flying around about a potential RX 7600 – particularly as the latest speculation and leaks are putting the potential release date this month. This is exciting stuff if true as since their release of the RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX at the end of last year, AMD have been pretty quiet about their RX 7000 series. Sure, there have been rumours about a possible RX 7950 XTX, but there’s been very little about a more mid-range option. Could that change with the latest rumours about a possible RX 7600?

Let’s get into it.

Could the rumoured RX 7600 be good for 4K gaming?

The first thing to remember when evaluating if an RX 7600 could be good for 4K gaming, is that nothing has been confirmed about this product’s existence. With that in mind, we will be evaluating how we think the current leaks would shape up for 4K gaming. Let’s look at Stream Processors first.

Rumoured Stream Processor count

An apparent screenshot from well-known leaker momomo_us on Twitter seems to depict marketing materials detailing 32 AMD RDNA 3 Compute Units in this rumoured model. If true, this would come out at 2,048 Stream Processors which would be a huge jump from the RX 6600. This means that an RX 7600 would probably manage 4K but is in all likelihood more intended for 1440p. Let’s look at VRAM now.

Rumoured VRAM

A recent leak from Videocardz seems to depict the packaging of a potential RX 7600 SKU with 8GB listed VRAM. As we mentioned, there’s no way of confirming this for sure until AMD releases an official statement so take it with a pinch of salt, but the possibility of 8GB VRAM is interesting. It would certainly be a jump from the 20GB (RX 7900 XT) and 24GB (RX 7900 XTX) we had in previous RX 7000 series models. But then, that is also to be expected from a more mid-range model.

Final Word

At the end of the day, nothing has been confirmed so we can’t say anything for sure. However, if an RX 7600 did hit shelves, then we anticipate that the sort of specs these leaks suggest indicates that an RX 7600 would be more geared towards 1440p, as the recent RTX 4070 release was, than 4K.
