Pros & cons summary

Performance score	7.47	44.61
Recency	13 April 2021	8 January 2024
Chip lithography	7 nm	6 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	45 Watt	190 Watt

Vega 7 has 322.2% lower power consumption.

RX 7600 XT, on the other hand, has a 497.2% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 2 years, and a 16.7% more advanced lithography process.

The Radeon RX 7600 XT is our recommended choice as it beats the Radeon Vega 7 in performance tests.

Be aware that Radeon Vega 7 is a notebook card while Radeon RX 7600 XT is a desktop one.
