Cost Per Frame
Sticking with the money argument, based on MSRP, the RX 7600 does offer exceptional value for money at just $2.31 per frame, all while getting consistent frame rates that rivals the likes of the 6650XT and gets quite close to the RX 6700 which also comes in a close second for having great value for money.
At 1440p, it’s very much the same story, with the RX 7600 offering up the best value for money, closely followed behind by the RX 6700. Compared to the RX 6600 with its launch price of $329, the 7600 comes in 34% cheaper per frame, which for 25% more performance, is a bit of a win win.
When we look at the typical selling price, which is based off of Newegg prices for cards that are still available to buy new and eBay for used pricing, the RX 7600 doesn’t offer as great value as first thought. Instead, it actually sits very closely to the 66500XT, 6650XT and RX 6700. The silver lining is that it is better than the RX 6700 slightly, but the RX 6600 still offers better bang for your buck though buying a used 10 series is significantly better, but that comes down to a personal choice as you’d be without a warranty.
At 1440p, things move around a little with the RX 6700 now offering 3% better value for money compared to the 7600, but again the 6600 still comes out significantly better as it comes out $1.27 per frame cheaper overall.
As we move over to the UK, the RX 7600 does offer the same great value for money based on MSRP at £2.22 per frame, beating the latest GPU from NVIDIA, the 4060 Ti, but again MSRP isn’t a true representational value as most cards in the list are now cheaper than their launch prices.
Moving up to 1440p and it’s the same story again, the RX 7600 comes out the cheapest, followed by the 4060 Ti, though what is interesting is that the RX 6700 isn’t that far away, only coming out 47p more expensive per frame.
When we move over to typical selling prices in the UK, of which we use our preferred retailers of Scan, Overclockers and Ebuyer, again along with eBay for those cards that can’t be had new at retail any more, and we again see the 7600 coming in with “ok” value but the 6600XT and more importantly RX 6600 come in cheaper, in some cases, by around 4%.
1440p is very similar, again with last generation’s 6600 series across the board beating the 7600 in terms of what you’d get for your money. Again it’s not bad, but I just expected more when it comes to evolution of the latest generation, though you could argue that early adopter tax plays a pivotal point here and we could see prices drop slightly in the near future, depending on how quickly consumers snap this card up, and what stock is like, of which we’re told, should be pretty good.
