Available now on Steam.

In Far Cry 6 the 7600 XT now manages to beat the performance of the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti in both the averages and 1% lows thanks to the 5% increase in frames from the lowly RX 7600 though Far Cry does have a somewhat AMD bias so it’s nothing out of the ordinary and in my opinion, still isn’t enough to warrant the extra cost involved.

It’s 5% again in the averages at 1440p and a further 6% in the lows which does show that the extra VRAM makes a difference there, but beyond smoothing that out and increasing performance, the 7600 XT still sits exactly where you’d expect it, which I guess is fine, but I was hoping for higher gains overall.

When enabling Ray Tracing and moving down to 1080p, the RX 7600 was at the bottom of our standings, and while the 7600 XT does increase performance beyond that by 10%, it just means the position of the higher capacity card takes the 2nd lowest place and still sits behind everything from NVIDIA.

Moving up to 1440p, performance jumps by 14% from the RX 7600, which now puts the XT 5% ahead of the RTX 4060 at $299, the 5% extra performance of the 7600 XT doesn’t make that much sense considering the $329 price tag of the 7600 XT, which makes it 10% more expensive
