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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 presents an unusual comparison scenario. The database includes a full benchmark profile for the AMD card, while the NVIDIA card has no recorded benchmark scores in its entry. This means the head-to-head comparison must rely on the AMD card's absolute scores and its position among nearest rivals, rather than direct side-by-side measurements.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT delivers an average benchmark score of 17083 across all recorded tests. This places it at the 60th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, posts an average score of 17208, which is 0.7% higher. The AMD card also sits close to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690, which scores 17037, a delta of 0.3% in favor of the RX 7600 XT. The AMD Radeon HD 7970M trails at 17019, with the RX 7600 XT ahead by 0.4%. Finally, the NVIDIA Tesla M4 scores 16932, putting the RX 7600 XT 0.9% ahead.

In specific workloads, the AMD card shows varied strengths. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields a score of 2348. The Geekbench OpenCL score is 92426, while the Vulkan score is 48366. PassMark results include a G3D score of 17132, a GPU compute score of 8987, a G2D score of 1030, a DirectX 11 score of 167, a DirectX 9 score of 228, a DirectX 10 score of 85, and a DirectX 12 score of 65.

The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 holds a 50th percentile position in the database, but with an average benchmark score of 0. This reflects the absence of recorded measurements. Consequently, the data cannot confirm a single benchmark victory for either card in a direct contest. The AMD card's wins are established only through its percentile rank and its deltas against the listed rivals. Its 60th percentile versus the NVIDIA card's 50th percentile indicates a higher standing, but the NVIDIA card's missing scores prevent any quantitative comparison of specific tests.

The Verdict

From the available data, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is the only card with measurable benchmark results. Its average score of 17083 and 60th percentile rank place it within a tight cluster of rival GPUs, most notably 0.7% behind the RTX 3070. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104, with no recorded scores and a 50th percentile, cannot be positioned relative to the AMD card in raw performance terms.

The data supports a choice of the AMD card for users who prioritize a verified performance profile, as it is the only one with concrete measurements. The NVIDIA card's entry lacks any test results, so any selection based on the database would favor the RX 7600 XT purely on the availability of evidence. The AMD card also carries a production status of Active, while the NVIDIA card is marked End-of-life, which the recorded data confirms.

For users focused on the percentile standings, the RX 7600 XT's 60th percentile surpasses the RTX 4060 Ti AD104's 50th percentile. However, the NVIDIA card's average score of 0 means the percentile may reflect incomplete data rather than a measured performance level. The verdict from the database is straightforward: the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is the better-documented option, and the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 lacks any benchmark evidence to challenge it.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs are built on different architectures and manufacturing processes. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT uses the Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, and belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. It is fabricated on a 6 nm TSMC process node. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 uses the AD104 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture and belongs to the GeForce 40 generation, fabricated on a 5 nm TSMC node.

Transistor counts differ substantially. The AMD chip contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip packs 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die, for a density of 121.8 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip therefore has more than double the transistor count and nearly double the density.

The AMD card features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores recorded. The NVIDIA card has 4352 shading units, 136 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 34 ray tracing cores, and 136 tensor cores. The NVIDIA card leads in shading units, TMUs, ray tracing cores, and tensor cores, while the AMD card has more ROPs.
