Released Jan 24, 2024, the RX 7600 XT has been on the market for 2 years 9 months. It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060 XT, which launched Jun 5, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is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 XT is a clearance or used purchase.
At launch MSRP the RX 9060 is $80 cheaper than the RX 7600 XT ($249 vs $329, 24% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $20.6 for the RX 7600 XT and $31.1 for the RX 9060 — the RX 7600 XT 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 Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.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 XT (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 $329 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
Our pick is the RX 9060: it's the current-generation card here, while the RX 7600 XT has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060 XT, and it also costs $80 less at launch MSRP ($249 vs $329), draws 18W less at rated TDP (132W vs 150W) and carries a higher editor score (7.8 vs 7.3).
Go for the RX 7600 XT instead if you want more VRAM: 16 GB vs 8 GB, or if you want the most VRAM per dollar: $20.6 vs $31.1 per GB at launch MSRP.
