₹8,500 separates these two in the current catalogue, and that gap is the centre of the comparison. GetPC's relative performance scores are 30 for the RTX 5060 and 22 for the RX 7600 - about 36% higher from the RX 7600 baseline. That is a suitability model, not a promise of the same uplift in every game.
Here's the honest way to decide: what is your total budget? Under about ₹60,000 for the whole PC, the ₹8,500 may do more for the complete machine as better RAM, storage or a properly selected PSU. Above that, once the rest of the build is sound, the faster card becomes easier to justify.
Above ₹70,000 total, the logic flips. Once the rest of the build is sound, spending ₹8,500 on the fastest 8GB card in the bracket is the best remaining use of the money - take the 5060. The 7600 at that budget is a card you'll want to replace sooner.
Do not fund the faster GPU by choosing an unverified power supply. Check the exact PSU's protections, connectors, warranty and independent testing, then size it for the complete system. If the RTX 5060 only fits the budget after compromising that foundation, the RX 7600 can produce the better complete build.
The ₹8,500 saved is worth more inside the rest of the build than as extra frames. Spend it on the PSU and a second RAM stick.
Rest of the build is already sound, so this is the best remaining use of the money. Longest legs of the two.
No other parts competing for the money - take the faster card, provided your PSU is a genuine quality 550W.
It depends on your total budget. Under roughly ₹60,000 for the whole PC, no - that money does more good in the PSU and RAM. Above ₹70,000, yes, because the rest of the build is already sound and the 5060 is meaningfully faster with better upscaling.
GetPC's current relative scores are 30 and 22, which is about 36% higher from the RX 7600 baseline. That is a catalogue suitability model, not a universal benchmark result. Check independent tests for the games, settings and CPU you will actually use.
Yes, at 1080p with sensible settings. It is an entry-level card now rather than a mid-range one, so expect to turn a few sliders down in the newest titles rather than running everything maxed.
NVIDIA lists 145W total graphics power and 550W required system power for the RTX 5060; AMD lists 165W typical board power and a 550W minimum PSU for the RX 7600. Confirm the exact AIB requirements and judge the PSU by its protections, connectors and testing—not an 80 Plus badge alone.
RTX 5060 8GB
Entry-level Blackwell GPU with 8GB GDDR7. 1080p gaming card for budget builds. Best paired with Ryzen 5 or Core i5. India warranty via ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte AIBs.
RX 7600 8GB
Capable 1080p card, but poor new value near ₹38,000. GetPC previously sold it around ₹26,000 and now recommends the RTX 5060 for a fresh build. A tested used unit can make sense around ₹22,000–26,000.
