In a typical game at high settings, the Radeon RX 7600 is about 15% faster than the Radeon RX 6600. Both are sold with 8 GB of graphics memory.
A faster graphics card only shows its lead when the processor can prepare the extra frames. How much more the Radeon RX 7600 delivers than the Radeon RX 6600, with common processors:
| Processor | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 3600 | +15% | +15% | +15% |
| Ryzen 5 5600 | +15% | +15% | +15% |
| Core i5-12400 | +15% | +15% | +15% |
| Ryzen 5 7600 | +15% | +15% | +15% |
| Core i5-14600K | +15% | +15% | +15% |
| Ryzen 7 9800X3D | +15% | +15% | +15% |
| Any processor fast enough | +15% | +15% | +15% |
With any of these processors the Radeon RX 7600’s full lead shows at every resolution.
Each card’s gaming figure comes from the reference data the Bottleneck app uses to judge the hardware it measures; the processors are compared with the same model as the bottleneck calculator, where frame rate is set by whichever part is slower. The figures are for a typical game at high settings and rounded to 5%: individual games, ray tracing and upscaling move them, and price and power draw are not part of it.
Before buying a faster graphics card, make sure your PC gets what it should from the one it has: a setting left wrong can cost as many frames as the upgrade would add. Bottleneck checks the usual reasons a PC falls short of its parts, free: memory below its rated speed or in single channel, Resizable BAR and GPU scheduling left off, a monitor held at 60 Hz, heat. Then, while you play, it records which part set the pace in every frame.
