Neither the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti nor the Radeon RX 7600 is out yet, so it's too early to tell whether they have what it takes to fight for a spot on the list of best graphics cards. However, the upcoming graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD are already in reviewers' hands. Therefore, some benchmarks are already floating around before the reviews are published.

VideoCardz has collected different results from numerous reviewers for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB and the Radeon RX 7600. The publication calculated the average of the collected data. However, before we approach the leaked benchmarks, it should be pointed out that the reviewers were using pre-launch GeForce drivers for the press. As a result, performance will likely vary when Nvidia and AMD release a public driver.

Generic benchmarks, like 3DMark, don't always tell the entire story. So, please treat the results with some caution. Furthermore, the news outlet didn't specify whether the graphics cards were reference models or custom models with factory overclocks. The results include the old-school Fire Strike benchmark with different settings and some of the more recent benchmarks like Time Spy and Speed Way.

Radeon RX 6650 XT10,0104,5621,673

The results revealed that the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti was clearly superior to the Radeon RX 7600. The AD104 graphics card outperformed its Navi 33 rival by 25% in Time Spy, 24% in Time Spy Extreme, and 63% in Speed Way. On the other hand, the Radeon RX 7600 was slower than the last-generation GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.

However, the Radeon RX 7600 did outperform the GeForce RTX 3060. The former exhibited 22% and 24% higher Time Spy and Time Spy Extreme scores, respectively. The GeForce RTX 3060 defeated the Radeon RX 7600 by 11% in Speed Way.

Compared to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, the Radeon RX 7600 achieved 7%, 11%, and 16% higher scores in Time Spy, Time Spy Extreme, and Speed Way, respectively.

The Fire Strike results reinforced what we saw with the previous benchmarks. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti was faster than the Radeon RX 7600. Although, on this occasion, the margins weren't as significant. Nvidia's graphics card posted 9% higher scores than Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme, respectively. Meanwhile, the delta in Fire Strike Ultra was only 3%.

The Radeon RX 7600 got its revenge on the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in Fire Strike. The AMD graphics card was 5% faster in Fire Strike and 1% faster in Fire Strike Extreme. Meanwhile, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti only beat the Radeon RX 7600 by 2% in Fire Strike Ultra.

As expected, the performance difference between the Radeon RX 7600 and Radeon RX 6650 XT was lower. However, the former scored 5% higher in Fire Strike and Fire Strike Ultra and up to 8% in Fire Strike Extreme.

It's evident that the Radeon RX 7600 is no match for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti. The direct rival for the Radeon RX 7600 should be the GeForce RTX 4060, which won't be available until July, so we may have to sit tight for a while before we see benchmarks for Nvidia's graphics card. It'll be interesting to see which graphics card offers better pure performance and how much DLSS and FSR will weigh in the fight.

    $470 (or about $500 after tax) for an ENTRY LEVEL gaming card...That is absolutely insane...

    You always have this constant barrage of people telling others to "buy AMD", "now is the time to buy AMD".

    Then you step away from the fanboys for a minute and look at everything yourself.

    -AMD performance that is often worse
    -very poor AMD raytracing performance
    -FSR that looks worse than DLSS
    -no Nvenc
    -no CUDA
    -AMD driver issues
    -higher power consumption on AMD cards

    Sure I'll buy an AMD GPU, if you give me a 40% discount compared to Nvidia, to compensate for all these issues.

    But AMD wants to sell GPU by diving just 2% or 3% under Nvidia's price. No thanks.

    Isn't the 7600 supposed to be quite a bit less expensive than the 4060ti?

    I would think the RX 7600 vs the RTX 4060 would be a fair comparison.

    I don't know about a 40% discount (10-15% cheaper per frame would help)...BUT your not wrong on the driver issues, performance and feature hits you get going with AMD.

    I miss ATI. :(

    when the 7800xt releases which strikes me as the 4060ti match the 4060ti will lose badly !!
    if you do the product matches it the 7900xtx vs 4080 the 7900xt vs the 4070ti so natural progression is the 7800xt vs the 4060ti the 7600 is just the ( rather pathetic 8gb answer as in 2023 no 8gb cards should exist ) answer to the 4060 !!

    Why dont compare it to the RX6800 16GB which costs $50 less and sports double the VRAM? Oh yeah because it would take a beating in any game and it would LOOK BAD TO FANBOYS. Why not compare the $500 4060Ti 16GB against the $450 6800XT 16GB? Because it would be pulverized!!! This new gen is a joke and this website fuullll of? Jokes 😂

    build a bridge on AMD drivers they are fine ive got many cards from the 6000series and the drivers work perfectly my 7900xtx drivers are great as well the only performance hit you get from AMD is RT which in all fairness everything but 4090 ( which is a beast ) needs to be nerfed anyway defeating the purpose of RT..

    besides is anyone really buying a 4060 /4060ti for production work !!

    Holy crap!!!! I can't believe it's that bad!! LMAO 😂😂😂 I'm sorry for anyone buying into this "new gen" aka same thing plus fake frames. 6700XT at $250 matches a 4060TI but with 12GB.. would anyone buy the 4060Ti for $400 knowing this since it's just 8GB and way more expensive? Guys I swear.. this nonsense has to flop hard. If people buy this carp next gens will be doomed, and all people will have to play with are gonna be over expensive fake frames
