AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT
$310$329 MSRP
The RX 7600 XT upgrades the original 7600 to 16GB of VRAM at a modest price increase. For gaming, 16GB future-proofs against increasingly VRAM-hungry titles. However, for AI, the lack of CUDA makes the 16GB largely wasted — the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is a much better AI choice despite costing more.
Best ForBudget 1080p gaming with 16GB future-proofing
Verdict16GB for $329 sounds great, but no CUDA means no AI. Gaming only.

Capable16GB VRAM
Runs most popular models with quantization. The minimum for serious AI work.
No CUDA — most AI frameworks run best on NVIDIA. ROCm support is improving but not all models/tools work.
