Have an older CPU?

We no longer sell older processors, but they belong in the table: they show whether a GPU swap is enough or the whole platform needs replacing. Send us your configuration for a free upgrade quote; old hardware counts as a trade-in.

Frequently asked questions

Which CPU is best for the RX 7600?

From our range we recommend the Ryzen 5 5500 (4 % loss at 1080p, 123 FPS on average). All of them are in our configurator and we build the PC for you.

Is a Ryzen 5 5600 enough for the RX 7600?

At 1080p the Ryzen 5 5600 averages 129 FPS with the RX 7600, 2 % less than the strongest CPU (ideal pair). At 1080p the gap is 2 %. In esports at medium settings (CS2, Valorant, Dota 2) the CPU matters more: 300 FPS on average versus 348 FPS with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D.

What resolution is the RX 7600 good for?

With maximum settings and no upscaling the Radeon RX 7600 is a 1080p card: with the Ryzen 7 9850X3D it averages 58 FPS in demanding games (Cyberpunk 2077, Kingdom Come 2, Battlefield 6…) and 348 FPS in esports. With DLSS/FSR you can go one resolution higher.

How many FPS does the RX 7600 get with the Ryzen 5 5500?

Without upscaling (demanding games at Ultra, esports at medium): CS2 1080p: 252 FPS, Fortnite 1080p: 58 FPS, Cyberpunk 2077 1080p: 69 FPS, Battlefield 6 1080p: 50 FPS, Kingdom Come 2 1080p: 60 FPS. These are the same numbers the “How many FPS?” calculator shows on every PC.

Does an older CPU like the Ryzen 5 3600 bottleneck the RX 7600?

Yes, noticeably: at 1080p the Ryzen 5 3600 gives 6 % lower FPS than the strongest CPU (116 FPS on average; in esports at medium settings 6 %). Playable, but a newer CPU unlocks more – send us your configuration and we will quote the upgrade; the old parts count as a trade-in.

Decided? We will build it.

Every recommended CPU and GPU is in our configurator. We build in Olomouc, stress-test and deliver with a 36-month warranty. Your old PC or graphics card counts as a trade-in.
