Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 7600 better than Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H?

Yes. Radeon RX 7600 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 16,581 vs 3,448 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Radeon RX 7600 is a 2023 card with FSR 3 + AFMF, while Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is a 2021 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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 2021, 380.9% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 2 GB, and better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023) instead of FSR upscaling. 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 $81 cheaper on MSRP at $269 MSRP versus $350 MSRP, and you are getting 380.9% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 525.7%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon Ryzen 5 6600H is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $350 MSRP, even if Radeon RX 7600 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
