Frequently asked questions
Is the RTX 4060 better than the RX 7600?
On our relative index the RX 7600 is about 6% ahead of the RTX 4060. Both carry 8GB of VRAM. The smaller the gap, the more other factors like price, VRAM and features should decide it.
Which is better value, the RTX 4060 or the RX 7600?
Value depends on the price you can find each at. The slower card is usually the smart buy if it is meaningfully cheaper, unless you need the extra VRAM or features of the faster one.
Do the RTX 4060 and RX 7600 need different power supplies?
The RTX 4060 is rated around a 550W PSU and the RX 7600 around 550W. Size for the more demanding card if you might upgrade, and prefer an ATX 3.x unit for any 12V-2x6 card.
