Quick Answer
The RTX 4060 is 10-15% faster than the RX 7600 in rasterization and significantly better in ray tracing. It also has DLSS 3 Frame Generation. However, the RX 7600 costs $50 AUD less. The RTX 4060 is the better GPU; the RX 7600 is the better deal.
DLSS 3 Frame Generation is available in more titles and produces better visual quality than FSR 3. In DLSS-supported games, the RTX 4060 can outperform the RX 7600 by 40-50%. This is the RTX 4060's biggest advantage.
The RTX 4060 draws 50W less, which means less heat, a quieter system, and compatibility with smaller PSUs. Over a year of daily gaming, this saves roughly $20-30 AUD in electricity.
Both cards have 8GB VRAM. This is adequate for 1080p gaming today but may become limiting at 1440p in future titles. Neither card has a VRAM advantage.
Our Verdict
The RTX 4060 is the better GPU overall with higher performance, DLSS 3, and superior power efficiency. The RX 7600 saves $50 for gamers on the tightest budgets. If you can afford the extra $50, the RTX 4060 is worth it.
The best 1080p GPU under $400 AUD is the RTX 4060 at around $400 AUD. It delivers 60-120 fps in AAA titles at high settings with DLSS 3 support and incredible power efficiency at just 115W. The RX 7600 at $350 AUD is the budget alternative.
The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is identical in performance to the 8GB model in games that use under 8GB VRAM. In titles exceeding 8GB at 1440p (Hogwarts Legacy, The Last of Us), the 16GB model avoids stutters. The 16GB version costs $80-100 AUD more.
The RX 7800 XT and RTX 4070 are neck-and-neck in rasterization at 1440p, with the 7800 XT winning by 2-5% in most titles. The RTX 4070 wins in ray tracing and has DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The 7800 XT costs $130 less and has 16GB VRAM vs 12GB.
