We already reviewed the RX 7600 but in this article, we will compare the RX 7600 and RX 6700 graphics cards to help you choose the right one for your computer. We’ll outline their differences and gaming performance.

Gaming Benchmarks

Let’s shift our attention from the technical specifications to the RX 7600 and RX 6700 gaming performance.

Testing Rig

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (Stock)
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master
• RAM: Patriot Viper LED DDR4-3600 16GB RAM
• SSD – XPG GAMMIX S70 BLADE 2TB NVMe
• PSU – ENERMAX REVOLUTION D.F. X 1050W
• CPU Cooler – Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 – AIO Water Cooler

Spider-Man Miles Morales

• Right off the bat, I saw the RX 6700  performing 11.9% better in Spider-Man Miles Morales.  On average, it provided 91 fps. Contrary to that, the 7600 was roughly 5 frames behind, giving us an average of 86 fps. 
• 1% lows on the RX 7600 are at  73 FPS, while the RX 6700 had lows of 75 FPS.

Forza Horizon 5

• The RX 6700 dominates in Forza Horizon 5, providing 5.6% more frames and running the game at over 100 fps. While the RX 7600 at 96 fps did not disappoint me at all.
• This time, even its 1% lows are better than RX 7600. It was able to offer an average of 85 1% low fps. The RX 7600, on the other hand, had no chance of catching up as it maxed out at 69 fps.

Red Dead Redemption 2

• Both GPUs faced challenges in running Red Dead Redemption 2, but the RX 7600 outperformed the 6700 by 8.8%, delivering an average of 76 fps compared to the 6700’s 83 fps.
• I noticed that both GPUs have nearly identical 1% lows. The 7600 edges out the competition by a mere 1 fps, which isn’t surprising given the performance of the 6700.

Hogwarts Legacy

• For the Hogwarts Legacy, I saw that the RX 7600 runs at 71 fps, which is 4.3% better than the 6700’s 68 fps. But honestly, you won’t notice the difference in real life.
• The difference in 1% lows was slightly higher, in favor of the RX 7600.  On average at 47 fps. The RX 6700, at the same time, was 12 frames behind, at 35 1% low fps. 

Hitman 3

• In Hitman 3, using the slight 2.5% difference in average FPS performance, the RX 6700 surpasses the RX 7600 with 120 FPS compared to the latter’s 117 FPS.
• Results of the 1% lows were not too different from what I had seen previously, as the 6700 was still ahead. It managed to yield 85 1% low fps on average. The 7600 maxed out at 82 fps.

The Last of Us Part I 

• Remarkably, In The Last of Us Part I, the RX 6700 exhibits a substantial 10.6% advantage over the RX 7600, delivering an impressive 79 FPS versus the latter’s 71 FPS in average FPS performance.
• The RX 7600 experienced slightly lower 1% lows, averaging around 56 FPS, compared to the RX 6700, which maintained lows of 61 FPS.

A Plague Tale: Requiem

• A Plague Tale: Requiem preferred the 7600 over the RX 6700, providing 2.7% more fps. On average, it provided 73 fps. The RX 6700, on the other hand, was seen struggling as it was 2 frames behind, averaging nearly 71 fps.  
• Furthermore, the 7600 maintained its dominance with a 2-frame lead in 1% lows, averaging around 61 FPS, while the 6700 struggled at 58 FPS. 

Cyberpunk 2077

• Finally, In Cyberpunk I noticed that the RX 7600 exhibits a 6.1% advantage over the RX 6700, delivering an average FPS of 67 compared to the latter’s 63.
• Similarly, Lead was taken by RX 7600 as its 1% lows were also slightly higher at around 54 FPS, while the RX 6700 had lows of 51 FPS.

Overall Gaming Performance

At 1080p, I observed that the AMD Radeon RX 6700 outperformed the AMD Radeon RX 7600 by approximately 0.6% in average fps. Based on my testing, the difference in the mean of 1% lows between both GPUs was slightly larger at around 4.6% in favor of the AMD Radeon RX 6700.

Power Consumption

The overall power consumption of our system with the RX 7600 was approximately 162.6 watts, whereas, with the RX 6700, it averaged around 152.14 watts. The RX 6700  consumed 6.4% less power.

Thermal Statistics

This slight thermal advantage of 5.5% suggests greater efficiency for the RX 6700, although both GPUs remained within safe operating limits and didn’t approach thermal throttling.

Price And Value

The RX 7600 was priced at approximately 269 USD, while the RX 6700 had a higher price point of around 350 USD. This resulted in a significant price gap of 43%. Now, there is a huge price difference of almost 67% between these two.

What Do We Recommend?

RX 6700: The RX 6700 outperforms the RX 7600 in gaming, has HDMI 2.1, and stays cool with its compact design. It uses less power and handles heat better. Plus, it’s priced lower for good value.

RX 7600: The RX 7600 is great for smooth 1080p gaming with its 8-pin power connector. It’s cheaper than the RX 6700 but might need better ray tracing. If you want a budget-friendly option for 1080p gaming, go for the RX 7600.

The RX 7600 is cheaper and good for basic 1080p gaming. The RX 6700 costs more but offers better gaming, power, and thermal performance. If you want better gaming and efficiency, go for the RX 6700. It all depends on your budget and gaming needs.
