AMD quietly released the Radeon RX 9600 this week. However, the card is not purchasable through the usual means and will only be available with PCs built by “select system integrators.”
Specs-wise, the non-XT 9600 features 8GB GDDR6 graphics memory, with the surrounding memory running at 18Gbps and an Infinity Cache of 32MB. Oddly enough, and despite the card already being listed on the GPU maker’s official product page, its base and boost clockspeeds aren’t listed. Oh, and it uses a 128-bit memory bus has a bandwidth of 288GB/s.
Moving on, the 9600 is listed with a 132W TBP, and that you can run the card comfortably with a 450W PSU. Other details of the card include 28 CUs, 28 ray accelerators, 56 AI accelerators, 64 ROPs, 1792 Stream Processors, 112 Texture Units, and 29.7 billion transistors.
The official product page also has a list of titles that AMD had tested with the card. That list includes the following:
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage – 108 FPS
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – 98 FPS
- DOOM Eternal (RT)– 153 FPS
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard– 67 FPS
- F1 24– 188 FPS
- Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered – 106 FPS
- God of War: Ragnarok – 120 FPS
- Resident Evil 4 (RT)– 100 FPS
Also Important to note is that all these titles and their average frames were obtained while running a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, which is appropriate, given the target market AMD is aiming for with this card.
