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This is a cross-brand comparison between the AMD RX 7600 (RX 7000, Entry, superseded by the AMD RX 9060) and the NVIDIA RTX 4060 (RTX 4000, Entry, superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5060), released 1 month apart. Against the RTX 4060, the RX 7600 costs $30 less at launch MSRP ($269 vs $299, 10% cheaper), matches its 8 GB of VRAM and draws 17W more at rated TDP (132W vs 115W).
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 It has been replaced by the AMD RX 9060.
Superseded by RX 9060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Superseded by RTX 5060
Best for: Only worth considering as a used purchase at significantly below $200 — the RTX 5060 is a better value at $299 new.

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.
One of the most efficient GPUs ever — no external power connector needed on some AIB models.
Frame generation extends the card's 1080p capabilities.
The RTX 5060 launched at the same $299 price with GDDR7 and DLSS 4 — the 4060 only makes sense used at well below $150.
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 It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060, which launched Aug 6, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.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 Jun 29, 2023, the RTX 4060 has been on the market for 3 years 4 months. It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5060, which launched May 19, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is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Both cards are superseded.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 NVIDIA RTX 5060 — are where current pricing and timing advice apply.
At launch MSRP the RX 7600 is $30 cheaper than the RTX 4060 ($269 vs $299, 10% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $33.6 for the RX 7600 and $37.4 for the RTX 4060 — the RX 7600 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 Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.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.
RTX 4060 (deals window to Jun 30, 2027, rated Wait): No clearance — new retail prices are above the original $299 MSRP, making the RTX 5060 (GDDR7, DLSS 4, same price) a clearly superior choice. Only consider used at well below $150.
Our pick: AMD RX 7600
Both of these cards are superseded, so if you're buying new, compare the AMD RX 9060 and NVIDIA RTX 5060 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 $299 launch MSRP.
Go for the RTX 4060 instead if you want lower power draw: 115W vs 132W rated TDP, or if you prefer NVIDIA's DLSS3 upscaling to AMD's FSR3.
Buy/Wait and deals ratings come from release-cycle and pricing data, not benchmarks. How we rate →
Where they're level: VRAM (8 GB each), memory type (GDDR6), editor score (7.1 vs 7.2), buy/wait signal (Superseded for both) and release timing (1 month apart).
