AMD Radeon RX 7600 reference design to be fixed before market launch to support all power cables

As reported earlier, the AMD reference (MBA – Made by AMD) design has issues with some power cables. As it turned out, some 6+2-pin cables may not fully insert into the card because of the backplate design. This issue only affects some cables that have a small bump that is blocked by the overextended backplate.

Those cables have existed for many years, so it is surprising to see a new AMD reference card that cannot fit such cables. And this was only discovered by reviewers who had trouble fitting their cables. Luckily for AMD, the company was in no rush to release its reference design to the retail (DIY) market. The plan was to enable board partners first, but due to interest in this AMD design, the company is indeed planning to launch their MBA cards to the market.

If manufacturers want to change something on a video card board, there are always problems. This is not necessary, because the computer has enough space for the video card, and reducing the size of the video card is not required.

To be honest this is actually no news as these MBA cards are not on the market yet and this was a slight oversight of their design team with an very easy and cheap fix by altering the backplate slighty.

Your last sentence is just clickbait.

This problem can be solved with a file and pliers if you do not need a guarantee, but the main question is, why change the power supply connection design that has been proven over the years?
If they improved this solution with additional fuses and diodes that would protect the video card from a short circuit, that would be good. But modern video cards do not have fuses, although they were on older models of video cards. The RX 480 and RX470 had fuses after the power plug.

Have you read the article on https://www.techpowerup.com/309215/amd-confirms-rx-7600-reference-cards-in-retail-will-not-have-power-connector-flaw ?

Those cards are not even available yet and they haven't changed the power supply connector design. Only thing AMD will do change the backplate slightly before they come onto the market so it can accomodate ALL PCIe powercables.

Therefore no issues for any comsumers (users and miners alike).

A detailed analysis of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card from Chips and Cheese
"The RX 7600 provides a very interesting look at a low end, low cost RDNA 3 implementation. Like the prior generation’s RX 6600 XT, the RX 7600 implements 16 WGPs. It also has a small 32 MB Infinity Cache, a 128-bit memory bus, and eight PCIe lanes. Thus small configuration is necessary to reduce costs and power consumption compared to higher end cards.

But the RX 7600 goes even further to cut costs. It loses big RDNA 3’s bigger vector register file. It uses TSMC’s 6 nm process, which won’t provide the performance and power savings that the cutting edge 5 nm process would. In prior generations, AMD fabbed x60 and x600 series cards on the same cutting edge node as their higher end counterparts, and used the same architecture too. However, they clearly felt a sharp need to save costs with this generation, compromising the RX 7600 a bit more than would be expected for a midrange GPU."

The long story short, the simulated RX 7800 XT appears to be 4% (1080p), 8% (1440p) and 12.5% (2160p) faster than Radeon RX 6800 XT, which is not a big upgrade. One must not forget though that this is a simulation, so the results may not correspond to real-world product, which does not even have rumored specifications yet. AMD Radeon PRO series are designed for better power efficiency, so even by adjusting clocks and TBP, the BIOS may still be forcing lower results, simply because this card was not designed for gaming workloads.

And what kind of profit then do AMD and large stores get from one video card, if they can cut MSRP prices by more than 40%?
And then they say that gamers buy video cards

Well maybe AMD/Nvidia will promo a new coin soon 🔜.

Or maybe they pump something.

They won’t be selling much as gamers simply don’t buy a lot of cards.

It was necessary to issue a coin for mining earlier, but what is the point in this now?
They sold a lot of video cards at a discount and continue to reduce prices. The coin needs to be issued such that it can be mined on video cards with a memory of more than 11 gigabytes, so that the miners are updated, and not mined on old 1080ti video cards

If you have been waiting for the Starfield game, then this news from AMD is for you
https://www.amd.com/en/gaming/featured-games/starfield.html#bundle

After announcing itself as Starfield's exclusive PC partner, AMD is now promoting a new game bundle where gamers can get Bethesda's upcoming space game with select AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, Radeon 6000/7000-series GPUs, and eligible AMD systems. Unlike previous bundles, AMD is offering two different versions of the game depending on the hardware or system that you purchase. If you purchase a higher-end system/part, you can get the Premium Edition of Starfield, while lower-end SKUs will be offered with the Standard Edition of the game.

Starfield is the first new IP in over 25 years from the widely acclaimed Bethesda Game Studios. The game is a space-focused RPG, featuring space exploration, FPS gameplay, ship-on-ship combat, building, planetary gameplay, and more.

"In the gaming graphics segment, we expanded the Radeon 7000 series of graphics accelerators in Q2 with the launch of the RX 7600 graphics cards for 1080p gaming. We plan to further expand our RDNA 3 GPU offering with the release of new 'Enthusiast' class Radeon 7000 series cards in Q3,” said the AMD CEO.
This means that there will probably be no replenishment in the AMD Radeon RX 7900 series: the company positions it as an “ultra-enthusiast” class, which means that we can talk about the Radeon RX 7800 series. The assumption is partly consistent with previously unconfirmed information that during the quarter, AMD plans to release new models in the Radeon RX 7800 and RX 7700 series. Of course, this should have been done earlier, but we had to take into account the oversupply in the RX 6900/6800 RDNA2 - these models should be replaced by new ones. It is also possible that there were some difficulties with the Navi 32 GPU - the third one that has not yet been used in the RDNA3 line in the RX 7000 family."

ASRock confirms Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT memory configurations
ASRock has once again lodged submissions for its upcoming Radeon RX 7000 series with the regulatory office of the Eurasian Economic Commission. The latest information from these submissions appears to uncover two of AMD’s yet-to-be-announced Radeon desktop GPUs.

As long as rumors are concerned, RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT should be released this quarter. A new flow of leaks may suggest that the launch is closer than one might expect.

AMD announces its mid-range RX 7000 GPUs.
The RX 7800 XT utilizes the full configuration of this GPU, featuring 60 CUs, 128 AI Accelerators, 16GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 19.5 Gbps over a 256-bit bus. The card will therefore offer fewer cores than the last-gen RX 6800 XT (72 CUs). The GPU’s clock speed reaches up to 2430 MHz, and it consumes 263W of power.

Interestingly, the RX 7700 XT‘s specifications surpass expectations. It employs 54 CUs and 108 AI Accelerators, a notable improvement over the previous-gen RX 6700 XT with its 40 CUs. This model also utilizes 12GB of GDDR6 memory across a 192-bit bus, although its memory clock is slightly lower at 18 Gbps. Notably, the RX 7700 XT exhibits a higher TBP compared to the RX 6700 XT, with a 15W increase to 245W.

If you have to choose between RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT and $50 difference in price, then it is better to buy a 16 GB video card and not worry about replacing it for gaming in the next 4 years. But comparing the 7800 XT to AMD's RTX 4070 shouldn't be taken literally, because the RTX 4070 can win in games that use ray tracing. The 7800 XT beats the RTX 4070 in terms of price and performance.

During Gamescom 2023, the curtain was finally pulled back on the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT, with both graphics cards set to launch imminently. As expected, AIBs like Gigabyte and ASUS will be releasing their own custom coolers for the AMD GPUs, but MSI, however, is conspicuously absent from the roster.

It’s not the first time MSI has declined to participate in AMD GPU launches. While it offered its own Ventus model of the AMD Radeon RX 7600, MSI didn’t develop an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT straight off the bat, instead waiting a few months to release its own iteration. The reason for MSI’s antipathy towards AMD graphics cards isn’t clear, but there’s no doubt it seems keener on Nvidia’s GeForce pixel pushers.

I do not hope that miners will run to buy these video cards, so we are waiting for reviews.

Scott Herkelman Q&A: AMD Radeon boss answers your burning RX 7800 XT question

Club386: Still no sign of 12VHPWR on any Radeon graphics card. Is this a burning issue for you?

Scott Herkelman
SH: We specifically, for 7900 Series, and even 7600, we didn’t plan on the new power cable, but 7800 and 7700 did have a plan for it. We removed it, and that was a purposeful removal. You shouldn’t blame end users for issues you have. You should catch and own any problems, just like we did with the vapour-chamber issue. I was all over social media because I felt like it was AMD’s problem and I was going to own it.

Until this power issue is cleaned up and there’s good confidence it’s working correctly for end users, that’s where you’ll start to see us incorporate it into our planning. The ability for someone to say it’s an end-user’s fault is a little strange to AMD and definitely strange to me.

I too am curious to hear about performance and availability. Most of my GPUs are pretty old now so I wouldn’t mind checking out one of these bad boys. I’ve always preferred AMD to Nvidia so I think I’ll probably go with one of these models as I suspect that spending USD on this generation of GPUs might be a good investment.

Nvidia's powerful models can be used for AI computing. AMD tries to beat the competition with price, but developers of miners for new coins first choose the latest models of Nvidia video cards. If there are new coins, then most likely the 3060-3090 models will be relevant, and these video cards are now cheap on the secondary market.

The 7600 XT video card will be the weakest in the 7000 series. AMD does not plan to release 7500 XT and lower models. And the RX 7700 XT is rumored to outperform the RX 6800 in some benchmarks. And the RX 7800 XT may not outperform its predecessor RX 6800 XT much, because the RX 7800 XT and RX 7700 XT are close in performance.
