Acer beforehand revealed its curiosity in manufacturing Nvidia and AMD GPUs at Computex 2023, and now it’s taking its first step in that path with its Predator BiFrost RX 7600 graphics card.
The Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 7600 options the identical BiFrost cooling as its first graphics card, an Intel Arc A770 mannequin. In response to Tom’s {Hardware}it’s a blower-style cooler that has a vapor chamber to switch warmth to the heatsink, which then makes use of its two followers to dissipate warmth. And contemplating that the Arc A770 is a 225W graphics card, this identical technique ought to work on the RX 7600 because it’s a 60W decrease TDP (Thermal Design Energy).
There are two variations of this card presently promoting in Taiwan: the common Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 7600 and the Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 7600 OC. The usual one has a sport clock of two,250MHz and a lift of two,655MHz, a TDP of 170W, and is priced at NT$8,490 (about $274). The OC model has a sport clock of two,320MHz and a lift of two,725MHz, a TDP of 180W, and is priced at NT$8,990 (round $290). Each have an eight-pin PCIe energy connector and a video output of 1 HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4.
The problem is that each variations of the Acer’s RX 7600 are 10.5 x 4.6 inches (267 x 117.75 mm), versus the usual model being 8.1 x 4.5 inches (205 x 115 mm), which means that this might pose a difficulty for these with smaller instances trying to change an outdated graphics card.
This graphics card has loads of potential
Since Acer first entered the graphics card market with its Intel Arc A770 mannequinit’s been attention-grabbing to see the producer break in but once more with an AMD card utilizing related tech. I ponder if Acer selected Intel at first to check out its graphics card chops earlier than heading to the GPU huge leagues, so to talk, as even Intel just lately determined to minimize first-party help for its Arc Alchemist line.
That apart, this Predator BiFrost RX 7600 appears to be like promising, with stable specs and a very good cooling system. Its measurement may very well be a difficulty for smaller instances however in case you have the house, it may very well be card to spend money on. As soon as it’s totally examined, it may completely be thought-about one of many greatest low-cost graphics playing cards on the market.
In fact, the opposite challenge is it not being out there outdoors of Taiwan proper now, however that might change relying on gross sales and Acer may have already got plans within the works for a wider world launch.
