Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 7600 better than GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER?

Yes. Radeon RX 7600 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Radeon RX 7600 averages 33.5% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 16,581 vs 12,692 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon RX 7600 is a 2023 card with FSR 3 + AFMF, while GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is a 2019 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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 2019, 30.6% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 6 GB, and 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 leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.

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

Radeon RX 7600 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Radeon RX 7600 is about 17.5% more expensive on MSRP at $269 MSRP versus $229 MSRP, and you are getting 33.5% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 30.6% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 11.2%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $229 MSRP, even if Radeon RX 7600 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the Radeon RX 7600 is support for FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 7600 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
