Trendy PC video games are gobbling up graphics card reminiscence like by no means earlier than. A swathe of latest triple-A video games can devour greater than 8GB of VRAM even at 1080p decision. So, with the brand new $269 AMD Radeon RX 7600 pairing ultra-fast 1080p gaming with 8GB of reminiscence, you need to surprise: How a lot does it matter? Is 8GB of VRAM sufficient for an ideal 1080p gaming expertise?
Alokito Mymensingh 24 contributor Keith Might determined to push the Radeon RX 7600’s VRAM capability to its limits to seek out out.
Within the video above, Keith booted up the $269 Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7600 to mess around with settings in quite a lot of VRAM-hungry video games—The Final of Us, Hogwarts Legacy, Doom Everlasting, Returnal, and Watch Canine Legion—and see the way it handles. You’ll watch him regulate settings and play the video games till he achieves an ideal expertise.
Backside line? “Nicely, that went higher than anticipated,” Keith declares on the finish. “I began all of my exams on Extremely settings, and the efficiency was acceptable in all titles. Transferring to Excessive yielded a extra than passable efficiency increase and eased the considerations of the reminiscence capability.”
So, there you will have it: Even when pushing the Radeon RX 7600’s reminiscence in among the most strenuous titles obtainable right this moment, AMD’s reasonably priced new GPU nonetheless delivers improbable 1080p gameplay. That 8GB is certainly sufficient for mainstream 1080p gaming. Dropping settings to Excessive nonetheless seems to be nice (it’s my private default, in actual fact) and is an inexpensive compromise in a lower-cost GPU—albeit not in a graphics card that prices $400, Nvidia.
AMD’s new card hits the streets on Might twenty fifth. Take a look at our Radeon RX 7600 overview for much more evaluation (don’t activate ray tracing!) and subscribe to Alokito Mymensingh 24’s YouTube channel for much more insights into all issues PC!
