Ray tracing 8-game average FPS

Overall, it is clear that ray tracing is not one of the RX 7600 XT's strengths. It might be manageable if you only use one ray traced effect, like we saw in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but overall performance came in 20% behind the RTX 4060 at 1080p.

Cost per frame, launch MSRP data

Naturally, the poor ray tracing performance means ray traced cost per frame does not look great for the RX 7600 XT – it's on par with the RTX 3080 from 2023, and doesn't come close to the RTX 4060, being 34% more expensive per frame at 1080p.

Cost per frame, current pricing data

That doesn't really improve when looking at the data based on current retail prices either – AMD GPUs are all towards the bottom end of the charts in terms of ray tracing value.
