GeForce GTX 1080 Ti vs Radeon RX 7600

Speed and memory

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti and the Radeon RX 7600 are within a few percent of each other for gaming in our model, so you will not see a difference in play.

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti has 11 GB of video memory and the Radeon RX 7600 has 8 GB. That is a small difference and unlikely to decide anything.

In our estimates for popular games at 1080p on High, the biggest gap is in Fortnite (274 against 274 fps), and the smallest is in ELDEN RING (60 against 60 fps). Games that are light enough to run above 200 fps on both cards show little difference at all.

Power and value

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is rated at 250 W and the Radeon RX 7600 at 165 W. With a mid-range processor that means a power supply of about 650 W for the first and 550 W for the second. A gap of 85 W shows up in heat and fan noise, and in your electricity use over a few years.

At launch the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti cost $699 and the Radeon RX 7600 $269. Per dollar, the Radeon RX 7600 gave more performance (10.0 points per $100 against 3.9). Current prices differ, so run the same sum on what you can actually buy today.

Which one to buy

Choose the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti if you want the faster card, and it also has at least as much memory. It makes the most sense at 1440p and above, or on a monitor with a high refresh rate.

Choose the Radeon RX 7600 if the price gap matters more than the small speed difference, or if you want lower power draw and a quieter PC. Whichever you pick, check reviews for the games you play, because two cards with similar scores can differ in individual titles.
