The whole point in buying new as opposed to used is to have something reliable with a warranty and you know newer drivers. I'm not entirely sure this fits the bill
Considering your niche in PC building I am shocked this is the first video you’ve made on the 6600m. I had thought you would have talked about these last year. They were right around $160 even early 2023.
I'm happy with my 15$ rx 580 8gb saphire nitro that I purchased from someone who said the gpu is broken but when I got it it worked with artifacts and I simply switched its bios and now I'm rocking a decent gpu 👍👍
With the exception of Product Key Cards (PKC’s) distributed with COA’s, Microsoft does not distribute products keys as standalone products. If you see a listing on an auction site, online classified ad, or other online page advertising product keys for sale, it’s a good indication that the keys are likely stolen or counterfeit.
Mine died last weekend, to say how many years it lasted it was a good investment. Looking at getting a 6600 or something which is more up to date and less power hungry and cheap 😂
Personal experience with lots of Aliexpress sellers here! I typically buy a lot of lightsabers and stuff and I can confirm that pretty much all the sellers try their best to aid you if anything goes wrong and it always ends up well since they always send a replacement without need to return the defective product too. I believe it's mostly how chinese customer service is because the service there is better than anything I had on amazon or anywhere else really.
I brought the Soyo RX 6600M last year from AliExpress for less than £130 including delivery and am super happy with it. It replaced a RX580 8GB in my Ryzen 3600 PC which I've now replaced with a 5700X3D (last upgrade to my AM4 system) so I can put the 3600 in my daughter's PC.
Bought my rx580 from mllse 3 years ago and I've been using it daily. Spent roughly 80 dollars on it (I'm brazilian). Definitely the most cost effective purchase I've ever made on pc parts.
Bought this one for christmas 2023, just 150 USD, flashed it to a normal rx 6600 to access to all features and control, best PC part I've ever bought 😎
@@TheMysterymorphWhat a load of horse shit. I still have gaming rigs that run RX 580's each day and the A580 performs better than them in gaming. What is equally interesting, you never even watched the video.
If you have $200-225 to spend, you can't go wrong with a used 3060 12GB. But the RX6600 is also a great GPU for the price. You can get one new for $200 or less if you go used. The 6600 will perform nearly as well as a 3060. Don't buy a GPU that needs frankendrivers. It isn't worth the risk. Also, the last new 6600 (Power Color Fighter) I benchmarked met the published average for the 6650XT and beat any 5700 XT I owned when I was mining by about 10%. I had an early production 6600 that didn't perform nearly as well. You buy a new 6600 now, you're going to get late production silicon which is always better. There are some RX5500 OEM remanufactured GPUs out there which don't use frankendrivers and they're usually around $100. They're actually RX 5500 XTs. But we're also talking about a lower class of GPU.
Radeon in general is a subpar choice because its video encoder falls behind in clarity (measure of a recording's accuracy to real display output) at _every_ bitrate compared to NVENC v7+ (Turing onwards) and Quick Sync v8+ (UHD 600 onwards). For affordable streaming/recording, I would emphasize an Intel Arc 700-series GPU. AV1 support, exceptional encode power and solid price/performance besides makes it an excellent entry-level content creation card.
How does he have 4 sticks of RAM and a tower cooler and not have the cooler fan sitting on the RAM at 5:10? This is the only thing keeping me from getting RGB versus LPX ram.
I got a RX 5700 from Aliexpress for 120€ inkl warranty. It overclocks nicely, draws never more than 170W, timespy bench at about 9000 stable, even above 9500 if i want to run it hot. Best buy ever, nothing gets close in price performance. Its an ELSA card.

I bought the 5700XT the year it came out. Upgraded from a Radeon RX 580 8GB because I was building a PC for my gf and decided to give her the 580 to give me an excuse to get something stronger. But I have to say, both cards were phenomenal. If I wasn't building that PC for my gf I probably wouldn't have upgraded and still be going reasonably strong right now, but the 5700XT has been incredible all the way from day 1 to now. Calling it a beast of a card is understating it. While it is finally starting to show its age a little bit regarding newer titles, it's been an incredible 5 year run, and I fully plan to put it in my closet as a backup when I upgrade later this year.
Its nice AMD doesn't prevent installing their drivers on these cards.Rtx 3060m requires you to download 3rd party drivers because the original drivers won't install.
Power consumption would be really nice to know. Does the 6600m have an advantage there since it Was meant to go in Laptop with limited thermal and Power capabilities comoared to a regular 6600 or the 5700xt.
I had the option of buying a 3060, arc a750 and 6600xt and I ended up going with the arc (in Australia at the time it was significantly better value) and I'm actually very happy with it. out of curiosity, how would this 6600m compete with the intel arc a750
I don't shop on Ali Express and usually scams I get on phone calls have that "potential spam" warning. 2 days after an Ali Express order I got a call marked "Bank of America" which is my credit card company, but it was a scammer. Shop there with caution.
I have 6 of the Sapphire Pulse 5700xt cards that have been hammered by mining (corrosion in the radiators as well as other issues). I paid 436 for all 6 (I bought the first three 14 months ago) and all they needed was pads, paste, 2 new fans (out of 12 fans-you don't even have to take the cards apart to replace the fans) and one needed one of the fan connectors reset. My children and I are still gaming and using them as media servers. Some run a little under average spec and some are well over average spec (Passmark and Heaven). The only thing I do differently when running them is I use a more aggressive fan profile (not that it is screaming but if the hot spot gets to 70C the fans are at 85% as I recall and go to 100% pretty quickly) than the default bios setting for the fan profile.
I have a used deal from my friend for a used ryzen 5 2600x and 1660 super 6 gig and 16 gigs pc with a 100hz monitor for $338 . I’ve been saving up for a new pc and I could save a lotta money with this since I don’t play graphically intensive games but it ain’t future-proof or upgradeable since I ain’t buying an am4 cpu for multiple reasons so I leave it to the ZTT YT community to give me some opinions . Send them hate comments! But mainly informative ones first…
2600x is still massively upgradable to 5600 or above. Not that you even need to if all you do is game, but the difference is huge for productivity. That 1660 super is more likely to need a replacement in a couple of years. There's still at least half a decade of life and upgradability in that system, you don't need am5 for a pc to be viable for the next several years. Especially if your budget is a primary concern
Budget ain’t my primary concern but more so time . I want a good deal on a pc since I’ve been on a HDD insanely slow laptop and I’m gonna need a good pc for editing and animation real soon and I don’t really feel am5 is worth it cuz I wanna preferably be on the latest platform for such.
Well considering last time I bought Radeon my PC was out of commission on a yearly basis as the gpu had to be sent back for repairs every year until one time I ran out of the warranty time by a hair, I never buying msi again. Tried out the 3050 6Gb, sofar pretty pleased with it, it runs well for me for the games I want to play.
I'm looking for a new external speaker for my laptop, and I'm not sure what to get. I'm in Australia so a specific price isn't as important to me, but can you please make a video on external speakers for budget, middle range, and top of the line price points? I hope you see this comment, and keep up the great content!
I'd recommend the Creative Pebble 2.0 speakers. I've had mine for about 6 months now and I haven't had any issues so far. There are USB-A and USB-C versions. They're really small and clean looking too, if looks matter to you lol. I have the USB-A version and it was about $25 on Amazon.
Soyo made my favorite motherboard of all time, with the 440BX chipset for Pentium II. It was a victim of the Great Fake Electrolytic Capacitor issue around 2000. My ASUS and Abit motherboards died as well.
Very interesting video. Thank you for that. I would be interested to know whether you can use the standard AMD drivers for this Card with the the mobile GPU.
My first (and so far ONLY) GPU is the RX 580. I’m so excited to get a whole new system and finally be done with extensive crashing. (Still love the thing tho)
Been gaming in my pc I built back in 2021 New Year’s Eve Ryzen 5 3600 1050ti oc B450 tomahawk runs all games perfectly on low settings some can run high settings and get around 60fps average 50
Zach in my humble opinion I would rather buy used in the u.s then brand new from china but that’s just my opinion great video and I hope you have a great rest of your day Rx 5700 xt all day everyday
Hey zach, just realized i’ve been losing performance on the computer i’ve built recently because i put my gpu in the wrong (gen 3) pcie slot. Some games especially helldivers and Fortnite ran way worse because of that. Also wanted to note that i also used an amd 7800xt in that slot and had no issues, maybe its only the nvidia 40 series that really takes advantage of gen 4. Just thought it might be worth a psa.
i would never buy anything on ali express. used rx6600 on ebay is right about the same money. But i think i would just get a used rtx 2070 super. about the same money and faster then the 6600.
I've just bought a DeLorean equipped with a Flux capacitor instead. An all around better investment. That way I'm simply going back in time, pick up a HD 3850, and have the performance of a twice as expensive 8800 GTS at half the cost. And generally, even sub 100$ cards wouldn't suck by default, but earn recommendations even from gaming mags. And just like CPUs in that price range are doing it still, actually exist.
Hi there Basically I'm a noob in choosing pc building. I want to build a custom pc Here are my components (I'll use Amd products only) Ryzen 7700x , rx6700xt,32gb ram , 2tb ssd . I don't know what to choose at Motherboard suitable for cpu and gpu and power supply and other components. I'll use the pc for gaming and programming as a full stack dev and also I'll make heavy graphic applications as well as games in unreal engine. My budget is 900 - 950$(75-80k Inr₹).
This is a great video and I really enjoyed the detailed explanation on the 6600m. So it would be great to see a video on a core i3 14100f because that is a cheaper CPU like the 6600m is a cheaper GPU
I wish there were more conversations about performance on "simulation" games like software inc, sims, or what's coming from paradox interactive. Im personally a console player till I die but definitely don't want to play 100% of my games on them.
Hey Zack, something you didn't mention in this video is that the standard AMD drivers won't work with these cards because of it being a mobile GPU. I believe you have to get the "Frankenstein" driver.
With these cards, you just have to download the drivers for the mobile variant, at least according to TechYesCity's video on the RX 6600m. It's mobile Nvidia GPUs that require the Frankenstein drivers.
the rtx 3050 ti gpu is a modified laptop gpu which is way better value than the RX6600m. it only comsumes 75watts, so no cables required, and it performs 15% better than the RX6600m.
Just a heads up, when buying a Soyo GPU check the VBIOS version, sometimes they still have a mining bios that runs underclocked and undervolted, I had to flash a stock bios on my 5700xt to get the performance back.
I don't get where you're getting these prices from, when I go to aliexpress (4 hours after this video was uploaded) the cheapest 6600M is 208.52USD, not even close to the 150-170 range you have in the video. I even used incognito mode to see if there's some new user deals they're offering but it's still the same
it depends, ive seen them (not as an 6600M listed, rather a normal 6600 - but the description said it was cut down version -> M) but i agree, its not really listed anymore & was never for the price for me either. for me its was 177€ + since its over 150€ u have to pay import tax it would be around 190-200€ in the end. it doesnt make it worth at all when u already get a 200€ 6600 genuine brand (gigabyte) one in the EU with real 2 years of warranty & customer support
Don’t forget to activate Windows on ALL of your gaming PCS! (Use Code ZTT18 to save 25%!)

Give me that 4090 on the wall bro or else I’ll live in your walls
Hey Zack, would you do an Arc A750 PC build?
I had the option of buying a 3060, arc a750 and 6600xt and I ended up going with the arc (in Australia at the time it was significantly better value) and I'm actually very happy with it. out of curiosity, how would this 6600m compete with the intel arc a750
It's funny how electronics is are usually 1.5 - 2 times cheaper in the US. Here in Germany it's about 200 bucks for the card.
I was hoping for something different, I've had this in my rig for nearly a year now.
Lol sorry to disappoint
Have u had any problems with it I'm thinking abt buying one but I'm worried abt thr build quality
I tried to take a shot everytime he said the word meta......i passed out by about a third of the way in
I don't shop on Ali Express and usually scams I get on phone calls have that "potential spam" warning. 2 days after an Ali Express order I got a call marked "Bank of America" which is my credit card company, but it was a scammer. Shop there with caution.
Thank you for the review.
RX 6600 user here :D
Something tells me Zach’s favorite word is, and I could be wrong, is “meta”.
I have 6 of the Sapphire Pulse 5700xt cards that have been hammered by mining (corrosion in the radiators as well as other issues). I paid 436 for all 6 (I bought the first three 14 months ago) and all they needed was pads, paste, 2 new fans (out of 12 fans-you don't even have to take the cards apart to replace the fans) and one needed one of the fan connectors reset. My children and I are still gaming and using them as media servers. Some run a little under average spec and some are well over average spec (Passmark and Heaven). The only thing I do differently when running them is I use a more aggressive fan profile (not that it is screaming but if the hot spot gets to 70C the fans are at 85% as I recall and go to 100% pretty quickly) than the default bios setting for the fan profile.
"my children and I" yeah makes sense that an absolute gigachad like you would be married and have kids. Jesus christ I am jealous of your partner.
I have a used deal from my friend for a used ryzen 5 2600x and 1660 super 6 gig and 16 gigs pc with a 100hz monitor for $338 . I’ve been saving up for a new pc and I could save a lotta money with this since I don’t play graphically intensive games but it ain’t future-proof or upgradeable since I ain’t buying an am4 cpu for multiple reasons so I leave it to the ZTT YT community to give me some opinions . Send them hate comments! But mainly informative ones first…
2600x is still massively upgradable to 5600 or above. Not that you even need to if all you do is game, but the difference is huge for productivity. That 1660 super is more likely to need a replacement in a couple of years. There's still at least half a decade of life and upgradability in that system, you don't need am5 for a pc to be viable for the next several years. Especially if your budget is a primary concern
Budget ain’t my primary concern but more so time . I want a good deal on a pc since I’ve been on a HDD insanely slow laptop and I’m gonna need a good pc for editing and animation real soon and I don’t really feel am5 is worth it cuz I wanna preferably be on the latest platform for such.
Well considering last time I bought Radeon my PC was out of commission on a yearly basis as the gpu had to be sent back for repairs every year until one time I ran out of the warranty time by a hair, I never buying msi again.
Tried out the 3050 6Gb, sofar pretty pleased with it, it runs well for me for the games I want to play.
I'm looking for a new external speaker for my laptop, and I'm not sure what to get. I'm in Australia so a specific price isn't as important to me, but can you please make a video on external speakers for budget, middle range, and top of the line price points? I hope you see this comment, and keep up the great content!
I'd recommend the Creative Pebble 2.0 speakers. I've had mine for about 6 months now and I haven't had any issues so far. There are USB-A and USB-C versions. They're really small and clean looking too, if looks matter to you lol. I have the USB-A version and it was about $25 on Amazon.
All the rx 5000 series and now this 6600m, everyone has jacked the prices up.
I'm just building my first PC! And i am starting with a 12gb rtx3060 dual oc from Asus! I heard it's decent!
5700xt is great until it starts burning up on you. Under volting helps some, under clocking more.
Soyo made my favorite motherboard of all time, with the 440BX chipset for Pentium II. It was a victim of the Great Fake Electrolytic Capacitor issue around 2000. My ASUS and Abit motherboards died as well.
Very interesting video. Thank you for that. I would be interested to know whether you can use the standard AMD drivers for this Card with the the mobile GPU.
My first (and so far ONLY) GPU is the RX 580. I’m so excited to get a whole new system and finally be done with extensive crashing. (Still love the thing tho)
Been gaming in my pc I built back in 2021 New Year’s Eve Ryzen 5 3600 1050ti oc B450 tomahawk runs all games perfectly on low settings some can run high settings and get around 60fps average 50
The link is not working, i can't seem to find any 6600m from the seller
I used a 1050 for a long time and had absoloute no problems ❤❤
it's available here in the Philippines roughly $210.
My watercooled Vega 56 still goes strong 😀
Zach in my humble opinion I would rather buy used in the u.s then brand new from china but that’s just my opinion great video and I hope you have a great rest of your day
Rx 5700 xt all day everyday
Valid opinion to have
Refurbished can't be named "new" !!!
Hey zach, just realized i’ve been losing performance on the computer i’ve built recently because i put my gpu in the wrong (gen 3) pcie slot. Some games especially helldivers and Fortnite ran way worse because of that. Also wanted to note that i also used an amd 7800xt in that slot and had no issues, maybe its only the nvidia 40 series that really takes advantage of gen 4. Just thought it might be worth a psa.
i would never buy anything on ali express. used rx6600 on ebay is right about the same money. But i think i would just get a used rtx 2070 super. about the same money and faster then the 6600.
I've just bought a DeLorean equipped with a Flux capacitor instead. An all around better investment.
That way I'm simply going back in time, pick up a HD 3850, and have the performance of a twice as expensive 8800 GTS at half the cost. And generally, even sub 100$ cards wouldn't suck by default, but earn recommendations even from gaming mags. And just like CPUs in that price range are doing it still, actually exist.
Did you also undervolt/overclock the rx 6600? Your comparison would not be valid if you didn't.
Hi there
Basically I'm a noob in choosing pc building. I want to build a custom pc
Here are my components (I'll use Amd products only)
Ryzen 7700x , rx6700xt,32gb ram , 2tb ssd . I don't know what to choose at
Motherboard suitable for cpu and gpu and power supply and other components.
I'll use the pc for gaming and programming as a full stack dev and also I'll make heavy graphic applications as well as games in unreal engine.
My budget is 900 - 950$(75-80k Inr₹).
This is a great video and I really enjoyed the detailed explanation on the 6600m. So it would be great to see a video on a core i3 14100f because that is a cheaper CPU like the 6600m is a cheaper GPU
Would definitely recommend Rx5700xt beast of a card
Love to see you testing rust as well. :))
is it safe buying of ali express? I need a little more convincing lol
I have no opinions outside of what I said in this video.
@@ZachsTechTurf oh ok thx
I wish there were more conversations about performance on "simulation" games like software inc, sims, or what's coming from paradox interactive.
Im personally a console player till I die but definitely don't want to play 100% of my games on them.
I’ve sadly only used integrated graphics ☹️ 🔥
Sorry to hear that :(
yo same
Hey Zack, something you didn't mention in this video is that the standard AMD drivers won't work with these cards because of it being a mobile GPU. I believe you have to get the "Frankenstein" driver.
On Nvidia - Frankenstein, on AMD - standard !!!
With these cards, you just have to download the drivers for the mobile variant, at least according to TechYesCity's video on the RX 6600m. It's mobile Nvidia GPUs that require the Frankenstein drivers.
@@СергейКусков-л9р Good to know. thx.
the rtx 3050 ti gpu is a modified laptop gpu which is way better value than the RX6600m. it only comsumes 75watts, so no cables required, and it performs 15% better than the RX6600m.
RDNA2 is just incredibly solid. Absolute joy to use under Linux. Stability that Win 11 can’t even dream of.
It looks like 750ti cooling system from 15 years ago but that didnt need any power apart from the pci slot supply.
It's either out of stock or very expensive now ..
Just a heads up, when buying a Soyo GPU check the VBIOS version, sometimes they still have a mining bios that runs underclocked and undervolted, I had to flash a stock bios on my 5700xt to get the performance back.
Would this be better then a Radeon RX 7600?
6600m equal to 6600,
7600 equal to 6600xt .
Any questions left?!
I just bought a 5700xt on Ali Express for $150 on sale from MLLSE and I have to say, its a solid card!
Hey Zach, been a fan for a while now and I was wondering if you would be interested in making a video on a Helldivers 2 pc budget build?
Then what is the best budget internal or external gpu for non-gamers?
PC AMD Ryzen 5 5600G/ 16GB (8x2 DDR4 Ram/ B520 Chipset Motherboard/ 1TB SSD, Windows 10 AMD Radeon Graphics) --- is this good for around $500
I don't get where you're getting these prices from, when I go to aliexpress (4 hours after this video was uploaded) the cheapest 6600M is 208.52USD, not even close to the 150-170 range you have in the video. I even used incognito mode to see if there's some new user deals they're offering but it's still the same
Also, these GPUs are NOT "brand new". The chips are salvaged from used crypto cards are put in new boards.
@@jsayolnot cards or crypto, it's literally a laptop chip
it depends, ive seen them (not as an 6600M listed, rather a normal 6600 - but the description said it was cut down version -> M) but i agree, its not really listed anymore & was never for the price for me either. for me its was 177€ + since its over 150€ u have to pay import tax it would be around 190-200€ in the end. it doesnt make it worth at all when u already get a 200€ 6600 genuine brand (gigabyte) one in the EU with real 2 years of warranty & customer support
he said they were sold out in the video. pay attention
Can you make a video on open source software for a media home server?
Ehh that's a little out of my wheel house tbh but thanks for the suggestion
