Quick answer
The RTX 4060 and RX 7600 are about even for gaming in our index (scores 38 and 37, within 5%). The RTX 4060 draws less power (115W vs 165W).
A side-by-side look at the GeForce RTX 4060 and the Radeon RX 7600 using the specs from each maker and ComputingSkill’s gaming scores, the same numbers our calculators and tier list use. Prices change too often to compare here, so check current prices against the performance gap below.

Specs: RTX 4060 official page and RX 7600 official page. Scores are ComputingSkill’s gaming index, positioned from publicly reported review averages, not our own benchmarks (methodology).
Clock speeds and shader counts can’t be compared across brands, which is why the gaming score is the fairer measure.
Gaming Performance
Estimated average FPS in a typical AAA game, from the FPS Calculator’s formula, with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D so the cards are the limit. * marks a figure held back by the CPU. Ray tracing, upscaling and frame generation are not included.
| Resolution, settings | RTX 4060 | RX 7600 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p, high | 95 | 93 | RTX 4060 +3% |
| 1440p, high | 62 | 60 | RTX 4060 +3% |
| 4K, high | 29 | 29 | RTX 4060 +3% |
| 1080p, ultra | 76 | 74 | RTX 4060 +3% |
| 1440p, ultra | 45 | 43 | RTX 4060 +3% |
| 4K, ultra | 22 | 21 | RTX 4060 +3% |
VRAM
RTX 4060: 8GB of VRAM is enough for ultra textures at 1080p, enough for high (not ultra) textures at 1440p and below the 12GB our VRAM rule asks for at 4K high settings, so expect to lower texture quality there.
RX 7600: 8GB of VRAM is enough for ultra textures at 1080p, enough for high (not ultra) textures at 1440p and below the 12GB our VRAM rule asks for at 4K high settings, so expect to lower texture quality there.
With Your CPU
A faster card only pays off when your CPU can feed it. Here is each card with common processors in our bottleneck engine (typical AAA game, high settings). “GPU-limited” is normal; a CPU % is how much of the card goes unused.
| CPU | RTX 4060 | RX 7600 |
|---|---|---|
| Core i3-12100F | GPU-limited / GPU-limited | GPU-limited / GPU-limited |
| Ryzen 5 5600 | GPU-limited / GPU-limited | GPU-limited / GPU-limited |
| Core i5-12400F | GPU-limited / GPU-limited | GPU-limited / GPU-limited |
| Ryzen 5 7600 | GPU-limited / GPU-limited | GPU-limited / GPU-limited |
| Core i5-14600K | GPU-limited / GPU-limited | GPU-limited / GPU-limited |
| Ryzen 7 7800X3D | GPU-limited / GPU-limited | GPU-limited / GPU-limited |
Power and PSU
With a Ryzen 5 7600, the PSU Calculator recommends 550W for a PC with the RTX 4060 and 550W with the RX 7600. The makers’ own recommendations are 550W and 550W.
Which Should You Buy?
- Performance is close enough that price, VRAM and features should decide.
- Features differ: the RTX 4060 offers DLSS 4 upscaling and DLSS 3 Frame Generation (2x); the RX 7600 offers FSR 3 upscaling and frame generation, plus AFMF in the driver.
