Which one should you buy?
The RTX 5060 8GB and RX 7600 8GB sit in the same class, so this is a straight question of which maker gives more for the money right now. In the Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy (June 2026), the RTX 5060 8GB averages 60 fps at 1440p and 22 at 4K; the RX 7600 8GB averages 45 and 18. At 1080p the averages are 89 and 70 fps. That makes the RTX 5060 8GB about 33% faster at 1440p (27% at 1080p, 22% at 4K).
Both have 8GB of video memory, which already means lower texture settings in some new games at 1440p. In games the RTX 5060 8GB draws about 145W and the RX 7600 8GB about 165W; power supply advice is 550W (maker's advice) vs 550W (maker's advice). The RTX 5060 8GB is about 240mm long, 2 slots thick and uses standard 8-pin power; the RX 7600 8GB is about 240mm long, 2 slots thick with standard 8-pin power.
For upscaling, the RTX 5060 8GB uses DLSS and the RX 7600 8GB uses FSR 3; DLSS is supported in the most games.
Our take: the RTX 5060 8GB is the faster card, so it is the pick unless the price gap is bigger than the speed gap. The verdict above checks that with today's prices.
