Radeon RX 7600 XT vs Radeon RX 5700 XT: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 7600 XT vs Radeon RX 5700 XT
The Radeon RX 7600 XT is noticeably faster, around 17% ahead of the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Radeon RX 7600 XT starts at $565 EUR against $1,128 EUR for the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 7600 XT wins on performance-per-dollar by about 133%. The Radeon RX 7600 XT still sits about $236 EUR above its $329 EUR MSRP. The Radeon RX 5700 XT still sits about $729 EUR above its $399 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 7600 XT draws just 190W versus 225W for the Radeon RX 5700 XT, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern RDNA 3 architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 16GB against 8GB, the Radeon RX 7600 XT has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 5700 XT's 8GB can fall short. The Radeon RX 5700 XT's memory is also faster — 448 GB/s versus 288 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon RX 7600 XT is roughly 5 years newer than the Radeon RX 5700 XT (RDNA 3 vs RDNA), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: Radeon RX 5700 XT or Radeon RX 7600 XT?
The Radeon RX 7600 XT is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 5700 XT if you find it at a steep discount.
