Today, we will be taking a look at the ASRock Radeon RX 7600 Phantom Gaming 8GB OC graphics card.
This graphics card is powered by a AMD Radeon RX 7600 GPU featuring 32 AMD RDNA3 Compute Units and 2048 stream processors.
It comes with 8GB GDDR6 VRAM on a 128-Bit Memory Bus with a memory speed of 18Gps. Thanks to an overclocked GPU, the Boost Clock now runs at 2,755 MHz (default is 2655 MHz), and boasts a Game Clock of 2,355 MHz (default is 2250 MHz).
It features ASRock’s Phantom Gaming 3X Cooling System for 0dB Silent Cooling, and includes a Stylish Metal Backplate, Striped Axial Fan and an Ultra-fit Heatpipe.
Video outputs include 3 x DisplayPort 2.1 and 1 x HDMI 2.1 port. And course, it comes with ASRock’s Polychrome SYNC for great lighting effects.
The ASRock Radeon RX 7600 is ideal for anyone who’s after a smooth 1080p gaming experience with decent performance and affordability.
I would like to thank ASRock for providing the review sample. This is a snippet from what ASRock has to say about themselves on their website:

As I mentioned before, ASRock Radeon RX 7600 Phantom Gaming OC edition uses an factory-overclocked GPU, so it requires extra cooling, and this is provided by their 3X cooling system which should be more than enough.
Since this card is designed for the lower-end/entry-level, I can’t expect too much from it. However having said that, it should be decent enough for a smooth 1080p gaming experience.
We’ll be testing this graphics card using our tested rig, which is comprised of an AMD Rzyen 7 7800X3D and ASRock B650E Taichi Lite motherboard, along with 32GB of DRR5-6200 ram.
Let’s jump straight in and start by taking a look at the specifications of the graphics card on our next page.
