AMD's latest generation RDNA 3 GPUs have struggled at times against the previous generation RDNA 2 offerings, and nowhere is that more apparent than with the arrival of the RX 7600 XT — a 16GB version of the Navi 33 GPU. Its biggest competition comes from the older RX 6750 XT, a red versus red battle for the $300 (give or take) GPU market. We've put the two GPUs together in our very own GPU thunderdome, where two cards enter but only one card can leave victorious.
The RX 7600 XT debuted in January 2024 as a higher-end variant of the RX 7600. Despite this, the RX 7600 XT is more or less a virtual clone of the RX 7600, packing the same Navi 33 die with the same core configuration and memory interface. The only major change is that the RX 7600 XT boasts 16GB of memory, by putting chips on both sides of the PCB; it also has a slightly higher power limit and boosted clocks to help keep it ahead of its sibling.
The RX 6750 XT debuted over two years ago in March 2022. It's a refreshed variant of the RX 6700 XT that came out in August 2021, featuring the same Navi 22 core with the same number of processing clusters, but with faster GDDR6 memory and higher clock speeds. The 6750 XT has largely supplanted it, offering about a 7% bump in performance, though occasionally you can still find a good deal on the 6700 XT.
There are big differences between the RX 6750 XT and the RX 7600 XT, beyond just the underlying architectures. While the RX 6750 XT is one generation older and boasts the RDNA 2 architecture, it's technically a higher tier part that originally launched with a $549 MSRP — up $70 from the 6700 XT's $479 MSRP, thanks to the prevalence of GPU mining back in 2021–2022. It lacks some newer features but makes up for that with higher GPU shader counts, and this will play a key role in its competitiveness vs the 7600 XT.
To show how the RX 7600 XT and RX 6750 XT stack up, we'll look at performance, price, features, technology, software, and power efficiency — as always, in order of generally decreasing importance. We'll potentially award more points for certain categories, based on how wide the gap ends up being.
