Best RX 7600 Cards for Fast 1080p Gaming [Budget AIB Models]

Radeon RX 7600 is the third card launched in the Radeon RX 7000 series from AMD. Unlike its bigger brothers RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT, RX 7600 is a mainstream graphics card and is targeted mainly for 1080p gaming at high or maximum graphics settings. The main competitors of this card are RX 6650 XT/RX 6600 XT from AMD itself and RTX 3060 from Nvidia. In terms of performance, On average RX 7600 is around 2 to 3 percent faster than RX 6650 XT and 12 percent faster than RTX 3060 (12GB). The card is very power efficient and is also priced quite competitively. It is a great card for eSports gaming and mainstream 1080p gaming but is also very capable for 1440p gaming if you dial down some of the intensive graphics settings depending on the game.

Radeon RX 7600 is powered by the RDNA 3 architecture and is built on a 6nm fabrication process. The card uses Navi 23 XT and has 2048 Stream Processors, 32 Ray Accelerators, and 64 AI Accelerators. The card is equipped with 8GB GDDR6 memory that has a bus width of 128-bit and runs at a speed of 18 Gbps, offering an effective memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s. However, the card can achieve a much higher peak memory bandwidth with the help of an ultra-fast memory cache called Infinity Cache (32MB present). The card supports PCI Express 4.0 interface but the bandwidth is limited to x8 only which can be an issue for users with PCIe 3.0 motherboards and they may encounter performance loss in memory-intensive AAA games. The card supports DisplayPort 2.1 (supports 8K@165Hz) and Hardware AV1 Encoding. Other features supported include the support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan, Real-Time Ray Tracing, HDMI 2.1, AV1 Decode, Resizable BAR, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 3), FreeSync. Other than the reference model, various RX 7600 models are also available from different AIB partners, and choosing the right model for your specific needs can become a task for some users. So, to help you pick the right RX 7600 model, I am listing down the best budget RX 7600 models based on different parameters that include overclocking, form factor, thermal performance, noise, etc.

Best Budget RX 7600 (Overall)

Sapphire PULSE AMD Radeon RX 7600

[Dual-Slot Compact Design, Runs Cool, Factory Overclocked, Competitively Priced]

Sapphire PULSE AMD Radeon RX 7600 is unarguably the best value RX 7600 model you can get for your build. The card has good build quality, is quite compact, offers great performance, and also runs pretty cool and quiet. It is a highly factory-overclocked card having a GPU Boost Clock of 2755 MHz which is 100 MHz more than the reference model. The Dual-X Cooler on this card comprises an aluminum heatsink with two copper heatpipes and two fans with dual-ball bearings. This Dual-X Cooling system keeps the card pretty cool and also the noise levels are acceptable. When it comes to aesthetics then the card does look modern and stylish in the red and black color scheme.

It is a dual-slot card and has a length of 240mm. The card comes with a stylish metal backplate for protection and it also gives the card rigidity. The card includes support for Sapphire TriXX software for tweaking, monitoring, and enabling/disabling various parameters, settings, or features. The card’s power consumption is rated at 185W (+20 MHz more than the reference design) and requires one 8-pin PCIe connector from the PSU (550W Recommended). For safety, the card comes with Fuse protection. Display connectivity options include one HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 2.1 ports.

Most Compact RX 7600

PowerColor Fighter AMD Radeon RX 7600

[Very Compact Dual Fan Design, Semi-passive Cooling, Good Cooler for the Size]

Although there are other dual-slot compact RX 7600 cards available, PowerColor Fighter AMD Radeon RX 7600 is the most compact RX 7600 model available. The card is only 200mm in length and has dual -slot design. This smaller footprint makes the card a perfect candidate for mini-ITX and small form factor (SFF) PC Cases or builds. For cooling, the card uses an aluminum heatsink with three copper heatpipes and dual 90mm fans. The card also features semi-passive cooling where fans shut down when the GPU temperature goes below 50 °C and start running again automatically when the GPU temperature crosses 60 °C during gaming or running heavy GPU-intensive loads. A single 8-pin PCIe connector is needed from the PSU and the PSU recommendation is of 550W. For display output, the card comes with one HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 2.1 ports.
