What you gain: the RX 9060 costs $20 less at launch MSRP ($249 vs $269), supports FSR4 upscaling (vs FSR3) and carries a higher editor score (7.8 vs 7.1).
Every spec we track moves in the RX 9060's favour, so if you own a RX 7600 and want a newer card from AMD, this is the natural upgrade path. On timing, the RX 9060 rates Caution.
One of the lowest power GPUs available. Works with any PSU.
Used units around $260 make it one of the cheapest ways into modern AMD gaming — new units are overpriced in the 2026 memory shortage.
Official FSR 4.1 ML upscaling since Adrenalin 26.6.2 (June 2026), alongside FSR 3 frame generation, extends its 1080p capabilities.
ML upscaling included even at the budget entry point.
Ultra-efficient for budget OEM builds.
Currently not available as a standalone retail GPU — check pre-built systems from major OEMs.
Released May 25, 2023, the RX 7600 has been on the market for 3 years 5 months. It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060, which launched Aug 6, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Released Aug 6, 2025, the RX 9060 has been on the market for 15 months. We have no previous release cycle on record for this line and no successor on our radar, so there's no projected replacement date — the timing signal stays at Caution.
On timing, the RX 9060 is the only current-generation option of the two (Caution), while the RX 7600 is a clearance or used purchase.
At launch MSRP the RX 9060 is $20 cheaper than the RX 7600 ($249 vs $269, 7% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $33.6 for the RX 7600 and $31.1 for the RX 9060 — the RX 9060 gives more memory for the money. Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.
RX 7600 (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday 2026 — analysts do not expect memory supply to normalise before late 2027, so real clearance pricing is unlikely. Only buy if a deal lands below the $269 MSRP.
RX 9060: no dated deals window is active, so our cycle-based pricing signal applies — no upcoming deals on the radar.
Our pick: AMD RX 9060
For a new purchase, the RX 9060 is the one to buy: it's the current replacement for the RX 7600, and it rates Caution on our buy/wait signal (editor score 7.8 vs 7.1).
The RX 7600 only makes sense at a clearance or second-hand price clearly below what the RX 9060 sells for.
