Full lists: best CPU for the RTX 4060 and best CPU for the RX 7600.

RTX 4060 vs RX 7600: which one should you buy?

Buy the RTX 4060 if you want lower power draw and a smaller power supply or you play with ray tracing on.
Buy the RX 7600 if you find it at a clearly lower price.

Prices change week to week, so compare the cost per frame: divide the price by the 1440p average above. A card that is 10% faster is only worth up to about 10% more money.

RTX 4060 vs RX 7600: frequently asked questions

Is the RTX 4060 better than the RX 7600?

For gaming at 1440p, the RTX 4060 is about 3% faster in our nine-game average (59 vs 57 FPS).

How much faster is the RTX 4060?

About 2% at 1080p, 3% at 1440p and 3% at 4K on High settings, native resolution.

Which one is better for ray tracing?

In Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p Ultra with ray tracing, the RTX 4060 gets about 22 FPS and the RX 7600 about 16 FPS before upscaling.

Is 8 GB of VRAM enough in 2026?

For 1080p on High in most games, yes. At 1440p, with Ultra textures or ray tracing, several new games need more than 8 GB, which causes stutter. 12–16 GB is the safer choice.
