Yup same here, first look you think "oh cool it's got 16GB vram this looks decent" but then you watch some videos and realise that it's not even going to need that much because it's more of a 1080p card than a 1440p card, for the same price I went with the XFX 6750 XT and it's much more better. I think they put that 16GB vram there because they know that for the same price the 6700 XT/6750 XT outperform it so they wanted to make it look better. Even the 7700 XT has 12GB so it doesn't make sense why they'd give this card more than that.
Great info. I've had my 7600xt for a few months and it's been nothing but random crashes. I'll adjust some stuff and tone down graphics and it'll be good for a could weeks then boom. Bit the bullet and upgraded to a Nitro+ 7800xt and so far no hint of a crash and I've been pushing it on stock settings and high/ultra settings on 1440p. I do, however, have faith it'll improve with updates, but like others said (not to beat a dead horse) it doesn't make a lot of sense when previous high end that do circles around the 7600xt are the same price or cheaper.
@@WELSHYTECH I may have just gotten a lemon. It happens. But searching forums I've found many people with similar issues as me with that card. It's just odd as it's random black screens where I have to totally restart my PC. The range of games was also odd, because it did it with Helldivers 2 a lot, then it wouldn't at all for weeks. Or I'd be playing Lethal Company and it would do the same randomly. No consistency in the crashes for me to deduce a cause or cause it to happen on purpose to dial in the root of it. But, like I said I'm hoping some updates can square it away, because other than that it's a very decent card for lower budget builds if someone wants a new-gen card.
This is more of a 1080p card in 2024 as it's on par with aa 6650xt/7600. Newer AAA games need upscaling, even at 1080p. It's overpriced, would be okay if it was $200-250.
