Was planning to get sapphire pulse 7600 XT for my new build, cause the price was ok few weeks ago. Now i see powercolor fighter 7800 XT just rm600 extra only. Should I go for it or is there a catch here that im missing out on 💀 is it a shit 7800 xt card variant

Use case: not a heavy gamer anymore so wouldnt care much on high fps or maxing out everything (can just ai upscale it right nowadays anyways? Havent PC game in 5 years lol), 1440p

Consider your PSU wattage also.

Forgot about that 💀 I got a pn750m. Says 80 gold too

Would it be ok?

A stock 7800 XT is 70 percent faster than a 7600 XT. Whether the additional cost of RM 600 is worth it is up to you. However, I think the extra investment is worthwhile, as you can never go wrong with having a more powerful GPU in the long run.

Hands down go for 7800XT. I bought mine last month & is worth it for me. Mind you I'm playing at 1080p & its handling everything at max settings at native res without needing to downscale. I was 50/50 on 7800XT or 7900 GRE for about a thousand RM more. You get 20 more CUs which nice but unless I'm playing at 1440p or above I dont really need that much power for 1080p. Maybe can save me 3-5 years no need to upgrade.

Forget about 7600XT is just another 7600 with extra VRAM which you barely can utilize it. Unless you are ok with 1440p/4k at low to medium settings. Got the tank to go the distance but must drive at grandpa/ma speed. No speeding yeah cant do this or that stun.

Nice, yeah Im leaning on the 7800 XT now too considering how cheap compared to 7600 xt lol, the powercolor fighter is ok card right? Cant find any youtube reviews for that particular card

Also what psu are u using? My new build will have a pn750m, would that be enough?

Worlds apart in terms of performance, if you can get the 7800XT just do it. Will last you a lot longer.

7800XT min reco PSU is 750W so its barely hit min, very risky. At most 7700XT or else upgrade PSU too = 850W

That's not the right way to look at it though.

Based on recommended 700W doesn't mean when use that time it will it or be risky.

When brands say 700W recommendation, that's with PLENTY of headroom to spare.

7800XT on full load doesn't touch 300W so 750W PSU is totally fine.

Have to consider that PSU powers other stuff as well... Intel Ksku CPU only, min 253W, max gazillion watts.

If you're not gaming as much these days and just want something that’ll last longer without upgrading soon, the 7800 XT is the way to go. RM600 more seems worth it for the boost in performance.

7800XT, hands down

The 7600XT is basically a 7600 with more VRAM, and is even arguably a downgrade over the old 6700 XT

AI upscaling? You might want to look at an equivalent Nvidia card, but it'll be even more expensive

Not the best PSU for the range, but should be plenty fine

To avoid liability concerns, most manufacturers tend to overrate PSU requirements to encompass lower quality units
That being said though, always get a PSU with reviews from a known good reviewer

Yes, that's why going with whatever wattage stated is always a very safe bet.

People who are using nuclear reactors like Intel Core i9 would most likely have the PSU to be higher than that.

Unless you're like me la using RTX 4080 Super on 660W (80 Plus Platinum btw ........ ) but that's me ...............

Thing is, PSU will degrade over time, unlike 13/14Gen, this is natural. Too bad we dunno how old is OP PSU but since its at the bare minimum its risky to stick to that low.
Its up to OP to take that risk, might be fine for now but will need to change sooner than later and I hope it doesnt blow up beforehand cuz then it can take out all those other expensive hardware along. For RM400-500 to buy a new PSU imho not worth the risk.

7800XT hands down for sure
