Well, it seems that the custom of lowering the MSRP of GPUs shortly after their release is now becoming an actual thing. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is the latest graphics card that is reported to have fallen by 13% just a day after its launch, mirroring the scenario with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 Ti.
AMD Radeon RX 7600 Is The Latest GPU To See Pricing Drop Below MSRP Soon After Its Launch
Spanish retailer, CoolMod, is offering the AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card at €259.94 (VAT included) which is lower than the official MSRP of €299. The card was discounted by €40 only one day after its release.
We still don't know what caused this significant decline. Some would claim that's the store's error, but we wouldn't put it beyond CoolMod (which has a solid reputation) to make a mistake like that.
The model offered is one of the best in the lineup—the ASRock Challenger OC. The move might be an attempt by AMD to steal the spotlight away from NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 4060 launch, which is still two months away. However, the company had already made a price cut on the Radeon RX 7600 officially which was already planned for $299 US but it was decided just hours prior to launch that the SEP would be set at $269 US.
AMD Radeon RX 7600 Graphics Card Specifications
The AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card features the Navi 33 XL GPU, which incorporates 13.3 Billion transistors in a 204mm2 die. This chip is 14% smaller than Navi 23 GPUs featured on the Radeon RX 6600 series. The chip offers 16 WGPs, 32 compute units, 32 ray-tracing units, 64 AI accelerators, and 2048 stream processors. The clock speed has been configured at 2250 MHz "Game" and 2625 MHz "Boost," which delivers a maximum compute performance of 21.75 TFLOPs (FP32) and 43.5 TFLOPs (FP16).
As for the memory, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps speeds across a 128-bit interface. The GPU also comes packed with 32 MB of Infinity Cache, and both combined delivered an adequate bandwidth of 476.9 GB/s (288 GB/s from the GDDR6). The GPU also packs 64 ROPs. Power consumption is rated at 165W and the reference "MBA" variant is limited by region.
