I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card for a better FPS experience in gaming. Currently, I have an Intel i5-12400 CPU and I'm thinking about switching from my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 to an AMD RX 7600. My motherboard is a PRO Z690-P DDR4. I'm unsure if this is a smart choice and whether my CPU and motherboard are compatible. My 2060 is the oldest component in my setup, so I'd appreciate any advice on whether this upgrade is worth it or not.

Honestly, the RX 7600 isn't the greatest upgrade. It's better than the 2060 in some tests, but it might not be worth the money. Can you let us know your budget and what display you have?
The RX 7600 is a decent choice and will give you more FPS compared to the 2060. But if you're open to used parts, consider the RX 6700 XT; it usually delivers better performance than the 7600 and could be cheaper depending on where you live.
In Canada, it looks like the 6700 XT is about $100 more expensive.
It's not just about sticking with one brand. Focus on getting the best performance for your budget!
I've heard that AMD is currently outperforming NVIDIA in both price and performance, but I'm not as familiar with AMD options.
Upgrading to the RX 7600 can yield better performance than your current setup. Just remember, there might be other options that could offer a better deal for you. Make sure to check reviews and benchmarks.
I have a 1920x1080 240Hz monitor and I'm in Canada with a budget of under $450 CAD. There's one available for $320 CAD at a local shop.
