Using the graphics card-only power draw figures presented earlier in the review, here we present performance per Watt on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1080p.

12-Game Average at 1080p:

It's fascinating to see the efficiency levels here don't move the needle forward from an AMD perspective. We commented that 160W power draw, while still low, is a fair bit higher than what was offered by the RX 6600, and that results in an efficiency gain of just 4% for the RDNA 3 GPU. It's not even more efficient than the RX 6800, and clearly is no match for the RTX 4060 Ti, delivering 28% lower performance per Watt.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all six games we test with ray tracing enabled.

6-Game ray tracing average:

That's only exacerbated when looking at ray tracing efficiency where AMD is comparatively slower than Nvidia – the RX 7600 is now over 40% less efficient than the RTX 4060 Ti.
