- The PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 7600 comes with a free copy of the highly anticipated game, Starfield, making it a great deal for customers.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 graphics card has gotten a price reduction at MicroCenter, but only for in-store pickup. The card is being sold for $230, a $40 discount from its typical pricing. This particular model is from PowerColor and, along with other AMD Radeon RX cards, includes a free copy of the upcoming, highly anticipated Bethesda game, Starfield. AMD and Bethesda have partnered up for Starfield's release to bring the latest graphical technologies to the game.
AMD launched the Radeon RX 7600 earlier this year at $269, and board partners have been offering their SKUs at similar prices. It proved to be a great value-for-money offering from Team Red, but also pointed at the huge gap between the budget and top-tier graphics card offerings from the company. To rectify this, AMD recently launched the RTX 7800 XT and RTX 7700 XT, which will start shipping on September 6 alongside the Starfield launch.
The PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 7600 Fighter features a dual fan design, a boost clock speed of 2655MHz, 2048 stream processors, and is powered by a single 8-pin connector. The graphics card is listed for $230 on the MicroCenter website, which is a $40 discount from its original price of $270, but there is a catch. This price is only applicable on in-store pickups, meaning customers cannot simply order the card online and wait for it to arrive at their doorstep.
However, what makes this deal even sweeter is that the PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 7600 comes with a free copy of Starfield, Bethesda’s upcoming action RPG. The game, on its own, is $70 for the Standard Edition, but customers will receive it for free as part of the promotion. This makes the PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 7600 the cheapest RX 7600 offering currently on the market.

The Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 Gaming OC is a triple-fan dual-slot graphics card that brings Gigabyte's effective WINDFORCE cooling technology. It has three 80mm fans with alternate spinning that work alongside the five composite copper heat pipes that directly touch the GPU. The GPU uses the highest-grade metal chokes, 2oz copper PCB, lower ESR solid capacitors, and lower RDS(on) MOSFETs, among other features.
Checkbox: control the expandable behavior of the extra infoAs of now, it is unclear if this pricing drop will be permanent, but judging by the recent RTX 7800 XT and RTX 7700 XT launch, that could very well be the case. The RTX 7700 XT comes in at $449 while the 7800 XT costs $499. The launch suggests there will be RTX 7700 and RTX 7800 SKUs down the line that will be cheaper than the XT models, but more expensive than the RX 7600. The increased price gap between the RX 7600 and RX 7700 XT potentially gives way to the RX 7600 XT and RX 7700.
AMD announced it will start shipping the two new cards on September 6, coinciding with the Starfield launch. Those willing to spend the extra $220 for the RX 7700 XT will have to wait a bit to play the game, while those wanting to get their hands on the cheapest RDNA 3 offering can pick up a PowerColor RX 7600 today from MicroCenter. Alternatively, here are some other Radeon RX 7000 series GPU offerings.
