What you gain: the RX 9060 XT supports FSR4 upscaling (vs FSR3) and carries a higher editor score (8.6 vs 7.3).
The replacement also launched $20 higher ($349 vs $329), so at MSRP the upgrade costs more than the RX 7600 XT did at launch.
Every spec we track moves in the RX 9060 XT's favour, so if you own a RX 7600 XT and want a newer card from AMD, this is the natural upgrade path. On timing, the RX 9060 XT rates Caution.
Most VRAM per dollar in the clearance market.
Ultra-efficient.
Street prices are around $370 as of October 2026, above the $329 MSRP — worth buying only when they fall back below it.
AMD continues to offer more VRAM per dollar than NVIDIA at every tier — 16GB for $349 vs NVIDIA's 8GB options.
ML-powered upscaling at the mid-range price point.
Ultra-efficient — no PSU upgrade needed for most builds.
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 It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060 XT, which launched Jun 5, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is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 Jun 5, 2025, the RX 9060 XT has been on the market for 17 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 XT 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 7600 XT is $20 cheaper than the RX 9060 XT ($329 vs $349, 6% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $20.6 for the RX 7600 XT and $21.8 for the RX 9060 XT — 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 Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.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 XT (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2026 — 16GB listings have spiked heading into November, from an early-October low near $520 to as high as roughly $760, and a fourth 2026 AMD price increase has been reported for November. Discounts are unlikely to reach the $349 MSRP; only buy at or near MSRP.
Next on the deals calendar: for the RX 9060 XT, New Year clearance 2027, from Jan 2, 2027 to Jan 20, 2027.
Our pick: AMD RX 9060 XT
For a new purchase, the RX 9060 XT is the one to buy: it's the current replacement for the RX 7600 XT, and it rates Caution on our buy/wait signal (editor score 8.6 vs 7.3).
The RX 7600 XT only makes sense at a clearance or second-hand price clearly below what the RX 9060 XT sells for.
