Compute Benchmarks

Now some people don’t need a video card for gaming, they need the processing power for rendering or 2D/3D production, or in some cases, people who game also do work on the side. So it is also important to check out the compute performance on all of the video cards that come in. That includes doing a few different tests. My first test was a simple GPU Compute benchmark using PassMark's Performance Test 10 and the Sapphire Pulse RX 7600 XT OC struggled here with a score of 10751 which put it in with the Radeon RX 7600 and below the RTX 4060.

Blender is always my favorite compute benchmark because the open-source 3D rendering software is very popular and it isn’t a synthetic benchmark. With the latest version of Blender, they redid the benchmark so we now have a new test that runs three different renderings and gives each a score. I have all three stacked together so we can see the overall performance. The Pulse RX 7600 XT OC is in that lump of cards including the XFX 7600 XT and the RX 7600’s here, the clock speed improvement for the 7600 XT didn’t separate them at all here.
