Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 7600 better than Arc B580?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 15,977 vs 16,581 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon RX 7600 is the overall package: you are getting FSR 3 + AFMF.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Radeon RX 7600 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting better upscaling support with FSR 3 (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon RX 7600 is still the slightly faster card overall, but Arc B580 probably makes more sense for most people right now. Radeon RX 7600 is about 8.0% more expensive on MSRP at $269 MSRP versus $249 MSRP, and you are getting 3.8% higher G3D Mark. Arc B580 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. In practice, Arc B580 keeps the cost lower without giving up much real gaming performance. Arc B580 is the newer 2024 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Arc B580 make more sense than Radeon RX 7600?

Yes. In this matchup, Arc B580 probably makes more sense for most people because it stays around $249 MSRP instead of $269 MSRP, while only giving up 3.8% higher G3D Mark. Arc B580 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. Arc B580 also gives you a practical upside through newer architecture.
