Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) better than Radeon RX 7600?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 26,543 vs 16,581 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) is a 2016 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon RX 7600 is a 2023 model from an older generation with FSR 3 + AFMF. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

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 a newer 2023 generation instead of 2016, 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, and a 6nm process instead of 16nm. 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?

GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $269 MSRP, and you are getting 60.1% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 7600 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Radeon RX 7600 still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.

When does Radeon RX 7600 make more sense than GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel)?

Yes. Radeon RX 7600 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (165W vs 300W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $269 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel). The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) currently gives you 60.1% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 7600 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium.
