AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Radeon RX 7600 shows a comprehensive set of benchmark results, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible, but the available data still allows for meaningful analysis of where each card stands relative to its own peers.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 posts an average benchmark score of 15,171 across its tested workloads. This places it at the 57th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals bracket it tightly: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15,199, which is 0.2% higher, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560X scores 15,082, which is 0.6% lower. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15,270, putting it 0.7% above the RX 7600, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti scores 15,063, sitting 0.7% below. The RX 7600 essentially trades blows with these cards, with deltas under one percentage point in every direction.

Within its own benchmark suite, the RX 7600 shows distinct strengths. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it records a score of 2,310. Its Geekbench OpenCL result is 88,051, while its Geekbench Vulkan score is 34,401. The PassMark suite reveals a mixed profile: DirectX 11 performance scores 172, DirectX 9 scores 226, DirectX 10 scores 84, and DirectX 12 scores 58. The PassMark G3D score is 16,634, while the GPU Compute score is 8,790. The G2D score is 984.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104, by contrast, has no benchmarks recorded in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, and its percentile versus all GPUs is 50. Without recorded scores, the head-to-head benchmark section relies on the architectural and specification data available for both cards, which is substantial.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 wins in scenarios where its measured benchmark results apply. Its PassMark DirectX 9 score of 226 is the highest among its own legacy DirectX tests, indicating strong performance in older DirectX 9 workloads. Its PassMark DirectX 11 score of 172 also shows solid capability in that API generation. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 88,051 is notably higher than its Vulkan score of 34,401, suggesting that compute workloads using OpenCL are a relative strength.

The RX 7600 also has a higher pixel rate than the RTX 4060 Ti AD104. The AMD card delivers 169.9 GPixel/s, while the NVIDIA card delivers 121.7 GPixel/s. This means the RX 7600 has an advantage in fill-rate-bound scenarios, such as high-resolution rasterization with heavy overdraw. Its texture rate is 339.8 GTexel/s, which is close to the NVIDIA card's 344.8 GTexel/s, a 1.5% gap in NVIDIA's favor.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 wins in raw compute throughput. Its FP32 performance is 22.06 TFLOPS, slightly ahead of the RX 7600's 21.75 TFLOPS. Its FP16 performance is also 22.06 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, matching its FP32 output. The RX 7600 matches this 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio at 21.75 TFLOPS, but the NVIDIA card holds a small lead in both.

The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 also has significantly more shading units, 4,352 versus 2,048, and more texture mapping units, 136 versus 128. Its tensor core count of 136 provides dedicated hardware for AI-accelerated workloads, which the RX 7600 lacks entirely. The NVIDIA card also has 34 RT cores versus 32 on the AMD card, a slight edge in ray tracing hardware.
