AMD Radeon RX 7600 Review: Affordable RDNA3 For 1080p Gamers

AMD & Sapphire Radeon RX 7600: Game Benchmarks And Resolution Scaling Tests

Company of Heroes 3 is a recently released real-time strategy game developed by Relic Entertainment. A follow up to the popular Company of Heroes 2, this latest addition to the franchise features new mechanics and modes and is set in the Italian and North African theaters of World War II. We tested the game at 1080p and 1440p resolution, with maximum image quality settings...

The AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 cards we tested once again traded blows with the Intel Arc A770, depending on the resolution. They clearly outperformed the GeForce RTX 3060, however, and (as expected) the Radeon RX 6700 XT too. 

Far Cry 6 Benchmarks Benchmarks

Next up, we’ve got some benchmark scores from Far Cry 6, the latest installment in the storied franchise. Like its predecessors, Far Cry 6 is a fast-action shooter set in an open world environment with lush visuals and high graphics fidelity. The game is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, ruled by dictator "El Presidente" Antón Castillo, famously played by actor Giancarlo Esposito. We tested all of the graphics cards here at multiple resolutions using Ultra Quality settings to see how they handled this AAA title.

The AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 finished right on top of the GeForce RTX 3060 at both resolutions in FarCry 6, though the extra memory on the 12GB RTX 3060 does give it a bit of an edge at 1440p, when testing the game at the settings we used (Ultra + RT + HD Textures).

Returnal Benchmarks

Returnal is a port of the popular PS5 game, which follows Selene as she searches for a way out of the barren landscape of an ancient civilization. Returnal is a fast-paced, third-person shooter that makes used of many advanced graphics techniques and employs technologies like DLSS, XeSS, and FSR...

The tables turn somewhat in Returnal. With this game, the GeForce RTX 3060 outruns the AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 cards by a small margin, though the GeForce's minimum framerate is markedly higher.

If we add some DLSS or FSR into the mix, the AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 card jump out ahead of the GeForce RTX 3060 in terms of average framerates (and are able to exceed 60 FPS at 1440p), but the extra memory on the GeForce really helps those minimums.

F1 2022 Benchmarks

F1 2022 is Codemaster’s latest Formula One racing simulation, and like previous version of the game, it sports impressive visuals. This latest addition to the franchise supports DirectX 12 with ray tracing, and it incorporates support for a number of AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and NVIDIA technologies (like DLSS). We tested the games with its Ultra High graphics preset, with ray-tracing and TAA enabled at a couple of resolutions to see what the graphics cards could do.

The AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 cards we tested performed particularly well in F1 22. The cards outran the Arc 770 LE and GeForce RTX 3060 at both resolutions and left the Radeon RX 6600 XT far behind.

With FSR (and DLSS) added to the mix, the AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 break the 90 FPS mark at 1440p and continue to maintain a lead over the GeForce RTX 3060.

Cyberpunk 2077 Benchmarks

Cyberpunk 2077 is based on the Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing game franchise. The tabletop game was published for the first time in 1988, and the intervening 30-some years have not changed the game world all that much. As a result, Cyberpunk 2077 looks somewhat retro-futuristic, as this is how people in the 1980s imagined what the future would look like. The game make use of virtually every advanced DirectX graphics technologies, features like DLSS, FSR and XeSS, and after a somewhat rocky release, it has been significantly updated and optimized for a multitude of hardware configurations...

Cyberpunk 2077 put a hurting on the AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 cards, at least with the very taxing settings we used in this game. This time around the AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 cards bring up the rear, trailing even the 6600 XT.

Adding some resolution scaling into the mix, the AMD and Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 card end up slipping in just ahead of the RX 6600 XT, but they can't keep pace with the GeForce RTX 3060 in this game.
