Canadian retailer, PC-Canada, has listed two custom AMD Radeon RX 7600 GPUs from Sapphire & MSI, starting at $443 CAD.
MSI and Sapphire to launch Radeon RX 7600 variants with listings on Canadian retailer's website for 444 CAD
With the launch of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card approaching soon, this is the first confirmation that the custom variants will be available alongside reference variants on shelves. Both cards offer 8 GB of VRAM and will feature a factory-overclocked design out of the box.
The two AMD custom graphics cards, the MSI Radeon RX 7600 Mech 2X Classic and Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7600 GPUs are listed for 443.99 and 451.99, respectively. Converting to US dollars, the two cards will be offered for $330.80 and $336.76. Each card is listed but shows zero quantities in stock, meaning that these two product pages are placeholders for when the inventory arrives from each manufacturer. The release date is not listed but the card is expected to hit retail on the 25th of May.
A recent rumor suggested that the prices of AMD Radeon RX 7600 8 GB graphics cards will be close to €349 In France which is definitely a much higher price than the one listed here. It looks like the actual MSRP should be around $300 US but we can't say for sure since AMD and NVIDIA are known to make last-minute changes based on the response and offerings from each camp. NVIDIA will be offering the RTX 4060 Ti around $400 US so AMD will have to keep that in mind before rolling out the final price to its partners.
