Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 XT PULSE (11339-04-20G)

Compact gaming graphics card of 2024 from Sapphire, which in its technical capabilities is a direct competitor to the popular mid-range GeForce RTX 4060. It is part of the popular Sapphire Pulse product line, which many reviewers consider to be some of the most successful implementations of Radeon graphics cards on the market. Based on the advanced RDNA 3 microarchitecture.

Unlike the standard Radeon 7600, this modification is equipped with 16 GB of memory instead of 8 GB, which somewhat expands the card's production capabilities and allows for a more optimistic view of the future, as many 2023-2024 hits ideally require not 8 but 12 GB of video memory. Paired with a conditional Core i5/Ryzen 5 and a 16-gigabyte RAM buffer, it can handle 99% of recent gaming blockbusters at Full HD resolution and high graphics settings without problems.

It can also be considered for 2K gaming; however, its technical capabilities might still fall short, necessitating the disabling of the most resource-intensive graphics settings, removing any ray tracing, and enabling AMD FSR. This is a free alternative to NVIDIA DLSS, which uses numerous tricks to increase the average frames per second, making gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.

Thanks to its compact dimensions and moderate power consumption (length 25 cm, thickness 2.2 slots, 190 W), the Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 XT PULSE is perfectly suited for compact gaming builds that cannot accommodate flagship graphics cards longer than 30 cm and thicker than three slots. Besides gaming, the graphics card can be used for media content processing, 3D rendering, machine learning, high-resolution video compression, and other tasks requiring a powerful GPU.
