Launch MSRPs, release cycles and deals windows as of November 9, 2026.
This is a cross-brand comparison between the AMD RX 7600 (RX 7000, Entry, superseded by the AMD RX 9060) and the Intel Arc A770 (Arc Alchemist, Mid-range, superseded by the Intel Arc B580), released 7 months apart. Against the Arc A770, the RX 7600 costs $80 less at launch MSRP ($269 vs $349, 23% cheaper), has 8 GB less VRAM (8 GB vs 16 GB) and draws 93W less at rated TDP (132W vs 225W).
This GPU is no longer the current generation. It has been replaced by the AMD RX 9060.
Superseded by RX 9060
Best for: Ultra-budget 1080p gamers who find it at deep clearance discounts under $200.

Superseded by Arc B580
Best for: Budget gamers who want 16GB VRAM and primarily play modern DX12/Vulkan titles. Not recommended for older game libraries or professional CUDA workloads.

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.
16GB VRAM at the $349 price point — more than the B580 (12GB) and any NVIDIA card at this tier.
Intel still ships regular A-series drivers — 32.0.101.9034 (beta, October 2026) added launch support for new game releases, on top of ongoing DX12 and Vulkan optimisations.
Intel's AI upscaler works across all GPU brands but is optimized for Arc hardware.
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 It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060, which launched Aug 6, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.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 Oct 12, 2022, the Arc A770 has been on the market for 4 years. It has been superseded by the Intel Arc B580, which launched Dec 3, 2024, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Both cards are superseded. If you're buying new, their replacements — the AMD RX 9060 and Intel Arc B580 — are where current pricing and timing advice apply.
At launch MSRP the RX 7600 is $80 cheaper than the Arc A770 ($269 vs $349, 23% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $33.6 for the RX 7600 and $21.8 for the Arc A770 — the Arc A770 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 Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.
Both cards are in the Black Friday 2026 deals window, which runs to Dec 5, 2026 and is rated Caution for each. For the RX 7600: 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. For the Arc A770: with production ended and new stock dwindling, deep retail discounts are unlikely. Look for a used unit under $250; otherwise the Arc B580 is the better buy if you find one near its $249 MSRP.
Next on the deals calendar: for the Arc A770, New Year clearance 2027, from Jan 2, 2027 to Jan 20, 2027.
Our pick: AMD RX 7600
Both of these cards are superseded, so if you're buying new, compare the AMD RX 9060 and Intel Arc B580 instead. The rest of this verdict applies to clearance or used units.
With editor scores and timing level, the cheaper card gets the nod: our pick is the RX 7600 at $269 vs $349 launch MSRP, and it also draws 93W less at rated TDP (132W vs 225W).
Go for the Arc A770 instead if you want more VRAM: 16 GB vs 8 GB, or if you want the most VRAM per dollar: $21.8 vs $33.6 per GB at launch MSRP.
