The 6700XT can still be found at ~$320-$350 at the moment, and offers better performance for a similar form factor with significantly more VRAM. Alternatively, there's the ARC A750, which is another $70 cheaper and gets pretty darn close with its performance to the 7600 and 4060Ti. At around the $300 mark, I don't really think this card is priced right for what it offers (limited VRam, bad thermals from the reference card, bigger form factor from the partner offers).

@RotaryJunkie Жыл бұрын

You're generally correct on that. Though the RDNA3 +/- 1.969x performance per *thing on board* also truly looks to be not-a-joke, which is why the little 7600 is exciting. We finally have a generational gain worth talking about over the HD 7950.

You forgot that Intel Arc only works well on Windows. On Linux, the drivers are hot garbage. It's not even 50% of Windows performance in games, if the game even runs at all (it will most likely not).

Definitely right about the 6700xt, however Nvidia and Intel Arc GPUs aren't really comparable here because we're talking about Linux use and gaming, for which AMD very much still holds a huge advantage in general thanks to their great, open source, drivers, regardless of the Windows gaming performance

The Deus Ex: Mankind Divided "native" Linux version uses an old Wine wrapper that translates to OpenGL and has kinda crappy performance, so running a recent translation layer that uses Vulkan is basically always going to crush it in terms of performance.

@PainterVierax Жыл бұрын

That's most of the Linux game ports in a nutshell. Though even when they don't do a Wine or Mono wrapper and call it native, the Linux support is often dropped or severely lagging behind the Windows binaries. That's why a decade ago before Vulkan and Proton, gaming on Linux wasn't an advisable solution.

@frederikholfeld868 Жыл бұрын

@@PainterVierax I think I wouldn't say most, but a lot of ports do have issues of some sorts, unfortunately. I hope that at some point Linux will have reached such a market share with gamers that devs will look at supporting Linux natively again but properly this time, because it seems like many are relying on Proton these days because it delivers very good results with often little to no effort. Let's see where this is going :)

@PainterVierax Жыл бұрын

@@frederikholfeld868 Honestly, I have little to no faith on most game devs to support native Linux builds for more than a couple of years so the actual compatibility layers like DXVK, Proton or WayDroid are the way to allow long term compatibility on Linux.

Nice, it's definitely plug and play. I just got my PowerColor Helhound 7600 and installed it on separate system running Manjaro (Kernel 6.4.0rc2 and 6.3.5, open source drivers) and it works well for the price. What I don't get is why (in my case) it seems to be power-capped to 135w (and it only permits me to change power-cap to 145w). I'm thinking it might be related to the fact that it seems to be identified as a Navi 33 - Radeon RX 7700S/7600S... (?) On Windows it's perfectly fine going as high as 168w in testing, however I don't particularly want to run Windows at all. What's the power cap on your system? Any ideas where I should start looking?

@andersjjensen Жыл бұрын

@@PineyJustice It's practically the same performance as a 6650XT and only has 8GB which is already now becoming a serious problem. The $400 MSRP of the 6650XT was very much "crypto inspired" considering it is only marginally faster than the 5700XT which also had an MSRP of $400. So all things considered $270 is the absolute stretch without being outright insulting. If this had been a 12GB product I wouldn't have blinked if they said $300. That wouldn't exactly represent insane progress over the $400 5700XT/6650XT, but it would be progress none the less. What we have here should have been called the 7500XT and been $250 at most.

@@PineyJustice There are already games today (quite a few) where you have to dial down texture quality at 1080p. And this isn't a "5 class" card. The last time this happened was the GTX 960 2GB and it got ripped in reviews. If this had been the 7500XT (and priced accordingly) it wouldn't be a problem. But it's not. And it's not like AMD couldn't have seen this coming. Games took a similar route with the PS3 and PS4. As soon as Current Gen Console-only games come out their PC ports are going to present a challenge. And since AMD made chips for both the PS4 and PS5, and the various XBoxes sans the original, they knew this. 12GB was always going to be the requirement of the lower midrange and midrange (as opposed to the entry level where dialing down settings is a given) at this point in time since that's what's available to the game on the PS5/XBsX.

@@andersjjensen 6500xt was 200$, but it had 4gb of vram and only 16cu vs 32 here. And the only time any game is hitting 8gb of vram is when raytracing is enabled at 1080p, not something you're going to be running max RT on. 12gb is a requirement for 1440p or 4k with FSR, not 1080p. The 6600 non xt was right between the 3060 and 3050ti and had a 330$ msrp, this is 60$ cheaper and has significant performance increases, stop pretending it's somewhere in the stack it isn't. Comparing it against last gen cards at firesale prices which will be out of stock very soon is a bad idea, cause those are going to dry up, at least AMD sells them cheap rather than sending them to the landfill like nvidia, although it seem nvidia is smarter for doing so since their previous gen isn't interfering much with their latest scalping.
