Introduction
Strictly speaking, the more appropriate competitor to the GeForce RTX 5060 at this stage is the Radeon RX 9060 XT. However, since the latter won’t officially launch until after June 5, a direct comparison is not yet possible.
In this case, this article will compare the GeForce RTX 5060 with the Radeon RX 7600. Of course, the outcome of this comparison is no surprise—the real value lies in understanding how much better the former performs than the latter. This will be revealed through gaming tests.
