Overall Gaming Performance

The RTX 3060 Ti managed to pull victory after victory in our testing, accumulating an overall victory of around 5.4% over the AMD card. Though not huge, this difference can be noticed in some games running at lower framerates. The framerates of both of these cards can be boosted with upscaling and frame interpolation.

Average Power Consumption

The high performance of the 3060 Ti came with an Achilles heel, which was around 10.8% higher than that of the RX 7600. This difference is small enough not to make a difference in your day-to-day experience. But it could add up to your power bill.

Average Thermal Statistics

The RX 7600 ran around 6.6% warmer than the Nvidia card, though this difference can vary from model to model because of a variety of different conditions. Nevertheless, our testing showed a tendency for the RX 7600 to run a bit hotter in gaming workloads.

Pricing And Availability

There is a small difference in price between the 3060 Ti and 7600, with the older card being a bit more expensive. Because of its age, you can find the 3060 Ti at a lower price than what we mentioned here, though it might need a bit of bargain hunting.

RX 7600 Vs RTX 3060 Ti: What We Recommend

RX 7600: This card is one of the more reasonable new releases, especially with the discounts it’s been getting recently. It has some merit, but older cards like its rival today beat it out in performance. If you fancy something new and cheap, the RX 7600 should fit your needs nicely.

RTX 3060 Ti: This card was one of the best releases from the last generation of GPUs, though it was plagued by the GPU shortage. Now that things have cooled down, it provides excellent value for money, beating out a few new releases from the big manufacturers well.

To cut it short, the RX 7600 and RTX 3060 Ti fight for the same spot in the GPU hierarchy, and you will get your money’s worth swaying for either of the two cards.
