Please tell me what to choose if both has the same price the rx 6600xt and rtx 3060 12 vram and what is better for future proof
@@DOOM-kf3py if same price then Rtx 3060 12gb. In my country, price difference is 200€ betwen rx 6600 and rtx 3060. So I bought rx 6600.
Thanks for your recent videos covering the 6600. Just bought the Powercolor fighter to upgrade from my GTX 970 until a 16GB VRAM option is available at sane prices.
Glad to help, I would say keep an eye out for a used 6800 but those prices appear to be climbing up ☹️
@@BlueprintPC Yes, especially here in Europe where energy prices are 3-4 times higher than in the US. Efficiency plays a big role in total cost of ownership. The 6800 is practically unavailable new. That was the other option I was considering. Hoping the 7800 (XT) is good and prices are low in the fall/winter. But I can't keep going until then with a Ryzen 7900 / GTX 970. Too imbalanced.
I just did the same mine arrives next monday and Will be a perfect match for a i3 12100 i have already owned all the Rtx 3000 cards and i wasent happy with any of them becaouse of the low vram
I'm honestly excited for the 7700 xt, I'm hoping AMD brings the mid tier heat
I just got a 6600 today an MSI 1 but it works do lovely! I upgraded from an RX 580.
its good you even mentioned about the power consumption in the long run. not all reviewers do this.
I'm trying to mention it more, I did as much before but now I atleast list it in the specs
I just picked up a 6650 XT - Newegg has them for $260 right now. Upgrading from a 1660 Super. I really wanted to go a little further in the jump but graphics cards prices are still way out of whack. I think they got addicted to crypto miner spending.
This is such a useful video. Especially now that these "cheaper" GPUs are coming out. It'll be really interesting to see how the market looks after June with the 7600 launching at under $300. It really seems like the GPU market doesn't actually care a whole lot about what other cards cost, so I doubt it's gonna drive other costs down, but it might affect how much some of these cheaper cards are going for.
Thank you, and my upcoming video dives into some market "speculation"
I bought my rx 6600 7 months ago for $200. I cannot be happier with the card so far. I'll probably keep it for another 2 years
nice, well congrats on the purchase
Yeah I got mine like in oct 2022 and it’s been fine and I’ve overclocked it to a stable oc for a Xfx but I would like to run RT 😪💯

Good video, I literally did what you suggested so I can confirm. I was able to get a 6750XT for $319 on newegg not too long ago and just like 2-3 days ago the 6600 was $189 with a coupon again on newegg, which was tremendous value and gave it to my son. I've never seen a 3060 for less than its MSRP of 330 though, they usually cost more than that, same with the 3050, nvidia's GPUs are way too overpriced or maybe it's just AMD selling theirs at normal cheap prices now, either way I'm glad I was able to upgrade from my RX 480/GTX 980 that my son and I had.
That's frickin awesome! Glad to hear you snagged those at those prices.
I'm using a 1070ti (That I paid $630 for in 2020... damn scalpers, crypto...etc.. lol) I haven't had a need to upgrade just yet. I'm not a graphics snob and the newest game I have played with it is RE4. still can run 2k at 60+ FPS. I do see the need for more VRAM for 1080p in new titles becoming an issue. I saw someone commenting that 8gb is enough, it really is not for upcoming games. I'm looking at getting a 6700, $270 new and on par with a 3060 ti. I could not care less about ray tracing. Great video!
Thank you, 6700/xt is a good choice. I would try to get the XT for the extra vram as it will prevent you from having to upgrade too soon. Thank you again!
I saw a used PowerColor rx6600 go for a $100 on eBay last week. Absolute insanity.
I’m kicking around the idea of grabbing a new ASRock rx6600 challenger d 8gb for 190
Sorry, I didn't understand which of the two is better on a motherboard with PCi 3? I have a B450 motherboard PCIe 3.0 x16 . Which of the two would you prefer?
Congratulations on being the first TH-camr I’ve watched to pronounce “Albeit” correctly 👍🏻😁
Clean and nice video. Loved it!
+1 Sub.
In my country, every electrical part that is imported is way more costly than other countries. Here, I will need $240 to buy RX6600. And a 3060 still costs around $280-$290 while Rx7600 is being sold at $310. I don't know which one I should go for. I personally like Rx7600 but I don't really know if extra $70 is worth spending for the better AMD card.
First of all thank you! As for the cards, thats tough. I would think about how soon you are willing to upgrade. If you dont want to upgrade for a while, spend a little extra now. Imo
@@BlueprintPC I am a really tough one. I have used my i3 7th gen for 3 years until I bought gt1030 and then used it for another 2 and probably half year until 1 year ago when I got i3 12th gen. Though I am still using gt1030, and I kind of feel the need for a better GPU, even a gtx 1650 should be able to make me smile due to how stronger it is compared to gt1030. I am certain now that I will go for 7600.
The next thing I will upgrade is the processor. I will go for i5 12/13th gen later and a good cooler with that as well.
Thanks
Depending on how often you upgrade you could get the 12600k then upgrade to the 13600k later on when it gets cheaper so you dont have to do a whole I platform swap. 12600ks are getting cheap now!
@@BlueprintPC Prices don't go down here like it does in the states. It only goes up and stay there for a long time. 12600K costs 310$ and 13600K costs 355$
AMAZING!
AMD's current edge on lower to mid tier is pretty nice, if you're not turning on or keeping RTX features enabled, and the fact that it costs so much less is very nice. I do find myself missing Shadowplay, even though AMD has an "equivalent" service, I don't think the video quality is quite as high at similar bitrates, but that's a very minor complaint. If I was told both cards cost the same, I'd go 3060 12GB, but they ain't! And at this tier, using stuff like DLSS vs FSR or Raytracing to try and build a case for Nvidia's pretty dubious. The featureset for everything but the hardware encoding Nviida has is a very rough sell imo, when the price differential is this vast. But 3060's 12GB VRAM's likely gonna break some ties in the future. D4 on 6600 was atrocious :(
I think the tough sell is harder for professionals who do some sort of work station task but company software only works with Nvidia or may barely work with AMD. Nvidia's Omniverse is some sweet stuff most people will never touch it.
3060 12GB is the same price as the 6700 XT 12GB and 6750 XT 12GB and those are much stronger than the normal 6600 8GB, which is 30-45 % cheaper than the 3060 12GB where I live.
@@BlueprintPC but those professionals are a very niche use case. Most people don't do that stuff. So for the vast majority Nvidia is not necessary.
@@darrenskjoelsvold I agree, I just wanted to bring that to light as many people don't realize what the extra money they are spending is for. Also for the ones who do need it for those use cases they understand AMD may have some draw backs. I'm brand neutral, if Tacobell starts making decent GPUs I would use it as long as it makes sense.
@@blinksone2768here 3060 is literally half the price of 6600xt and 6600 about 15% cheaper then 3060
I'll have this one with Ryzen 5700x in the upcoming week, but I also plan to upgrade to either 6750xt or 6800xt. The former is a pretty good fix between price and performance.
5700x does not run in pci 4.0 you know it ah? 5800x does run 4.0
@@DENuparxo21 5700x definitely has pcie 4 support. You can look it up with a simple google search. And you can easily undervolt and overclock 5700x to perform better than stock 5800x so it's not really worthwhile for most people.
My new 6600 just arrived. I hunted on the used market and most of them sell for approximately the same price or higher, with shipping.
I'm a 1080p gamer and felt the AMD card would be the way to go. My game library has been growing and my poor rx580 is starting to struggle.
Thanks for the informative video.
I bought a used RTX 3060 12GB with roughly similar price to a brand new RX 6600. I am satisfied so far but I'm gonna spray paint the shroud white to match my white case 🙃.
I want to know what the best graphics card that can do 1080p 60fps gaming while streaming it witout quality loss.
the timing Lmao
I've been trying to talk my self into upgrading from my rx480 4gb, and I am stuck right now.
For a while now I've been following used market and I guess due to vram, 3060 has been kinda hard stuck at 300 euros, while 3060Ti, 3070 and 3070Ti are in 300-380e range.
So while I want the additional VRAM for some rare work that I do in after effects or cuda support for some apps like image upscalers and what not, I am finding it quite hard to justify paying 300euros for a 3060 12gb, when 3070 is only 50e more.
On top of that, I can easily get a used RX6600 for 190 euros.
Seeing how 4060 and 4060Ti will probably be closer to 450-500 euro mark, I am seriously considering getting that RX6600 since I havent really had issue doing any work with AMD card so far, so I could make due without nvidia, at least until their used prices reach a better healthier point.
Mostly playing 1440p 60hz shooters and racing games, maybe sometimes dive into single player like Dying light, but not much else. I assume it should be good enough for that.
Hi I just got an rx6600 2 weeks ago and thought I'd help. Resident evil 2, Monster Hunter world, Resident evil 4 remastered all play close to the 200 fps mark for me on my ultrawide 1080p monitor. Usually jumping between 120 and 200 fps. My RX6600 was super easy to overclock, and I've had no issues with it. Plus it's lowering my power bill compared to my old gtx 1060. Where as the RTX 3060 would have consumed more power than my old card.
Take a look at the 6700xt, they tend to be a fair price and more vram as well
Thanks for the info!!!
@@BlueprintPC I forgot to mention but yea I did look at that as well, and while I really wish I could go with one, they start at 380 euros and up, even for used ones.
I looked at rx 6700 non xt, and that one is 330euros.
Just tough to go with any of them when rx6600 is so cheap. for 6700xt its double the price, but maybe 30% performance increase.
Days of good sub 300 euro cards seem to be long gone 💀
@@CornRecords972 Do you think that 6600 brought meaningful performance uplift from your 1060, to the point where it was worth the upgrade?
While on paper its double the performance of our rx480/gtx1060, I just find it hard to pull a trigger 😂
But yea the power efficiency of that 6600 is insane, my rx480 pulls 150w and its impressive how good those new cards are for how little power they pull.
Similar to new rtx 4070 pulling only 180w.
Hey bro i have rx 6600 with intel i5 12th gen 12000F but the problem is when i play Gta V or other games the graphic is set to highest setting but the graphics is bursting like worse anti aliasing problem
I am just about to buy a powercolor 6600 now, used for 125 dollars and I can't be more excited
Well if ya do buy it, congrats
Got a good used RX 6600 for €150 recently, incredible performance for that little cost!
>60fps in cyberpunk on high at 1080p, I expected less tbh.
Is 60 fps on triple A game normal ?
Is a ryzen 5 5500 rx 6600 gaming pc worth it for around 540€ new prebuilt? I know i could go cheaper and build it myself but i dont really trust myself to it. (Btw the pc would be mostly to play FPS games)
I picked a used 3060 for $220
Which still includes 6 months of warranty
Still in great condition
I'm not a crazy gamer but I do a lot of creative works which includes rendering so I needed a Nvidia card
I should have gone with 3060Ti
but my budget was not cutting it so I went with a normal 3060
Well.
Is RX6600 good for Photoshop & Aftereffect?
6600XT for $200 in the beginning of this year. Underrated card, I have no issues in any games? Even with RT on, besides obviously a slight performance hit. Also I'm running mine natively on a 1440p monitor. I haven't ran into any games that I can't run 1440p with a good balance of max/high/medium settings @ 60+ fps. Forza Horizon 5 runs maxed out with RT on high, 70-80 frames in the busiest areas, 1440p. Well optimized game, but it still translates over to many others. 8GB is still enough to have a more than average gaming experience. Most new games aren't even that great anyway, everyone plays old games.
How'd you get that cheap bro , in my country rn its around $480
I've been researching which GPU to buy for over a month since I wanted to buy Xplane 12 to upgrade from the previous 11 version and my gpu was unable to operate the new Xplane. So I've been looking at the rx6600 8gb because of how cheap it is and how similar its performance is to the rtx3060, but on the other hand, many advise don't purchase one with just 8gb vram. What I'm looking for is just a good GPU for the long run and to play Xplane12. I solely play games and don't do anything else like editing or streaming. So, if you can tell me would the rx 6600 be perfect for a long run and for xplane. or is there any other gpus you recommend?
Hey there, vram is becoming more and more important. I would recommend a 6700xt if thats in the budget. Otherwise the 3060 12gb will work, the RX6600 is an awesome budget friendly card but you would likely need to upgrade in a year or two
I got UHD 630....Still haven't got a Gpu, I mostly do graphics design and 3D renders, but I'm strongly considering the Rx 6600 because of the price (Found a new one at 230$), having a gen 3 pci-e port, and the fact I daily drive LInux, so I shouldn't have many issues with an AMD card.
Still, would an RTX 3060 be worth it when one of the cheapest around is 355$?
I practically have the money for the Rx 6600 already, just doing some research before doing anything.
If deciding between these and going the streaming route, if you have Intel based system quicksync works very well for encoding.
I would go Nvidia for streaming imo
@@BlueprintPC yeah, i'm just saying if you already have an intel platform and want the most price performance.. intel iGPU encodes fine at basically no performance hit
Agreed, I lean toward team green for app compatibility. I hope red & blue catch up. Nvidia needs stronger competition to encourage them to bring their prices down
The RTX 3060 is a flipping amazing GPU for the price point, Automobilista 2 on ultra a few mid and damn its a top Sim title, I feel the RX 6600 would not do as good with Sim Racing than the RTX 3060, It is that 8gb vs 12gb is a big difference, I had a 1660 super 6gb, Struggled with Automobilsta 2, Had to have it on low settings, And if more than 10 cars was racing it be worse, I will say the playback on the 1660 super is good, though, So the 1660 super is probably still a good editing GPU, But that is it, The 6gb struggles, So I imagine 8gb would still struggle, I might be wrong but common sense says different, I really do feel the RTX 3060 is an amazing GPU for the price point, On Amazon for 300 pounds, Can even pay monthly, Or pay it off faster if possible so getting a GPU at the moment is pretty easy, Plus CPU prices are dropping, Ram is dropping, It's never been a better time to build a mid range PC for not so Mid range prices, I would always build my own PC now, As it's just getting easier and easier to build a PC, I wonder how long the prices stay low for, Probably when the old stock is all sold, Then prices will go back up, Like I said now is the best time to build that Mid gaming PC you want.....
I love my Asus RX6600 with the new fluid motion frames. Hitting 380+ fps in Apex Legends and around 250+ FPS on MW3 warzone. I paid £200 for it brand new
What CPU are you running along with it?
Will the RX 6600 or XT be fully utilised with i3 12100f?
RX 6600 is 180
3060 is 280
12 Gb of VRAM doesn't do much for it. By the time you fill up 8 Gb of that memory by going to Ultra Settings or 2K, you lose so much performance the point is moot.
The 3060Ti, 3070, 3070Ti and 3080 10 Gb could have been better, if they were fitted with 12 Gb instead of 8/10. Because they have the processing power.
But putting 12 Gb on a "High" Settings 1080p card to begin with, is useless.
Also, the RX 6600 was never meant to be an 3060 competitor. It was meant to compete with the 3050. And it absolutely wrecks that card, getting closer to 3060 performance.
The 6650XT is a 3060 competitor. And again. It wrecked it at launch. And now with prices going down, the RX 6700 / RX 7600 is about the same price as the 3060 and it wrecks it even more.
If you are limited to gen3 / pci-e 3.0 then only buy a 16x card like 3060/3060ti/6700/6700xt.
If your system supports gen 4 then any 8x or 16x card in your budget.
"Average gamer test bench" is better than my own Pc setup right now
thanks !
All amd gpu users please help i have read some comments on how in amd gpus there's this one issue in rx 6600 too, in middle of gaming a error occurs of driver timeout. Even I had a amd based apu laptop in which this problem still occurs this happens frequently or just with some users?
I love how in the synthetic benchmarks the 6600 is behind but in actual games it's neck and neck.
Yeppers! I like to include those as it does show where Nvidia's workstation benefits come into play, but like you said. When it comes to games, it's a nail-biter.
@@BlueprintPC well for my job the processor is more important than the GPU and oddly enough the software is optimized for 8 core processors. So I think getting the best gaming for the buck is best so I would probably go 6700 rather than either. Actually I am waiting for the 7800XT to come out to make a choice of GPU.
I'm late to the comment, but can you please explain what you meant? I mean what's the difference between the benchmarks he showed vs the frames you get in games
@yasserdehiles9425 5:32 so check out the numbers in the synthetic hypothetical benchmarks. This is the raw computing power of the GPU. The Nvidia cards probably have an advantage because of CUDA which programs use to accelerate processes and are exclusive to Nvidia. So in the synthetic benchmarks the RTX card is way ahead. When it comes to real world practical benchmarking with actual games the two cards are extremely close. They get results that are almost within the margin of error to each other. Which means for normal gaming there is practically very little difference.
So if you are a content creator and you render videos and crunch data with your GPU the better choice is Nvidia but if you just game you could choose either and AMD being cheaper makes it a better value and thus a better choice.
The thing is though so many people get sucked into the synthetic benchmarking and they effectively choose Nvidia for a use case that doesn't apply to them. Does that make sense now?
@@darrenskjoelsvold That actually helped a lot! Thank you a lot. In my case ( a third world country in which gpus sometimes equal a whole month's salary ) the choice was between a used RTX 2060 super or a brand new RX 6600. I know that the RTX 2060 super is overall better when it comes to raw performance and ray tracing, but i just added a very small 9% increase and got a brand new, never opened RX 6600. I however never thought it was getting compared to the 3060.
I have a failing 1650 gpu. My cpu is the 5 600g and i have 32 gb ram, i dont want to have to upgrade my whole pc i just need a new gpu. What would you recommend? Im thinking one of these in the video.
Either one would be a good option
i got a 3080 ti for $350 (Used for 2 months) Satisfied with it especially for emulation.
I'm not color blind but I know a thing or two about data viz and if you want to grow your channel you should probably look into other color pairs than red/green, which is the most common form of color blindness. Purple and yellow are for example two colors that are quite far apart and would work with this kind of visualization, but there are others that work just as well.
Thank you, I did not know.
I have a Xfx 6600 8gb card best 1080 p card I’ve owned so far
I do highly suggest people wait and save an extra $80-$100 to get a 6700xt though, but if you also need to upgrade your cpu/mobo combo, you might be better off with a 6600xt tiding you over for the next 2-3 years. Realistically will be an entry level card 5 years from now.
100% second this. The additional vram and 1440p capabilities of the 6700 really future proofs the card as well.
@@FOB777 At the rate advancements have been going(slow now), we'll probably still be seeing benchmarks for the 6700xt in 10 years.

6600 is perfect buy right now for strictly gaming purposes, I view it as the modern day 1060 since it's capable of playing all modern titles at good quality and good fps. Best ever? Nah. But good enough for the average user? Definitely.
3060 has dlss though and 12 gb VRAM so it's probably a little more secure for the future, so you could view the extra price there to come in handy down the road - can't go wrong with either, 6600 is my vote as a budget conscious gamer.
I have the rtx 3060, and looking at its poor raster performance it will be long obsolete before games begin to use the 12 gb of VRAM
@@hirakchatterjee5240 Completely untrue... There are literally already games where the 3060 can outperform the 3070 thanks to just having more memory, the 3060 has plenty of performance to take advantage of a 12gb buffer, at 1080p and 1440p.
Edit: I should also say this is literally coming from someone running a 5600x and 6600, I got the 6600 because at the time it was WAYYYY cheaper than the 3060.
Quick question for ya! I am building my pc and im planning on putting a 360 in it. What is the difference between the 3060 with two fans and the 3060 with 3? both have 12 gb of ram
Not much. The fans might be a little louder and the temps might be a few degrees celsius higher.
More fans allows for each to run at low speed and be less noisy. IT can also help it stay a few degrees cooler. Basically exactly what James said lol
I find that 3060 pulls ahead of rx 6600 in higher resolutions.. the larger frame buffer also helps. On 1080p they are very much the same..
Lowest 6600 (no XT) I've seen is now £220 that's for the Asus one but I'm not an Asus fan. I'm waiting for the Powercolour one to come down from £240, but I have a rx580 8gb the 6600 even none XT looks a decent upgrade. Should get about £70 for the 580 to help fund it. The 6600 is lower power than my 580 as well lol
AMD for series 7000 they reveal mid range for that series they need to slap nvidia in the face and say our mid range will now have 10GB VRAM for 7600 and 7800 will have 12GB but I doubt it
Well I hope prices come down for you soon and I hope you are right about AMD. The 7400 could be 6GB and 7500 8GB everything else above that! (lets hope)
unfortunately the 6700xt is to expensive but I get the 6700 non xt version I can also afford the 3060 12gb i could also get the 3060ti and the 4060 8gb which one do you recommend? I’m looking for something that will last a long long time
I would go with either the 6700 or 3060ti
ReBAR on nVidia is a joke... maybe 10 games where it works. That's a bonus for AMD not the other way around.
At first i was going to purchase 3060, but found the price too high. Then after reading a ton of info about overheating AMDs hotspot and dying GPUs due to that, decided to go for 3050. But at last it seems that 6600 would be the best choice with some tweaking done to voltage and fan curve. 3060 is like $360, while 3050 and not the top one 6600 (like powercolor fighter one) are about $265.
I would lean toward the 6600 over the 3050 imo.
i got the rx 6600 2day, 150 dollars (used). happy with it. im glad im over with watching good reviews like this one, im done. I made my choice ^^ gonna play world of tanks with more frames than my eyes can handle
Congrats and thank you!!!
Honestly I bought a rx 6600 6 months ago and I really hate the drivers as I try to play older games and maybe not as main stream games and I I can’t play some off my games because off the bad drivers I might have to sell my rx 6600 to buy a rtx 3060
Which older games? I would like to test this
2 weeks ago I bought a new rx6600xt for $240 without tax ( 1300zł with tax in Poland), and i'm very happy. Performance is great at that price
I wouldn't say the price is bad for an XT. Or are you referring to the performance?
@@BlueprintPC sorry, English is not my main language, it is great
No worries, well I am glad that you are happy with the GPU!
I've had a rx 6600 for about a year until i changed to a rtx 3060 one month ago cause a friend upgraded his gpu and gave his old 3060 to me. They are pretty much the same in rasterization, but Nvidia wins in everything else: codecs, vr gaming, dlss, rtx, productivity, compatibility...
I don't think that it is worth the premium if you only care about gaming, but if you can get them at the same price i would choose rtx any day.
I am a first time builder and I want to know if the rx 6600 is good enough for some light editing (youtube videos and some personal photos and videos from my vacations)
Hey there, yes it will work. Compatibility is going to be based on the app you intend to use. Nvidia tends to be better with most apps.
Hey guys, new gamer here. I'm planning to buy an rx 6600 but not quite sure which cpu to get. Should I get r5 or r7? Also what would be the price point? I'm using r3 3200g with integrated graphics so looking to upgrade my system so I can play games at 1080p with 60fps minimum. TIA!

I was trying to get rtx3060ti & offered like 120 but they said yes to late. Hope I made the right choice with AMD
I currently have 1060, and it sadly died after 5 years, I don’t want to upgrade and pay that much because I would get a new pc in about a year, I was thinking of RX 6600, should I do it? I would like maybe to stream a bit as well
Yeah that should hold over well and still be an upgrade from a 1060
i need help, i just did it, seems like the tech guy did download amd drivers but i still had nvidia so i used DDU and removed them, before and after i did it im trying to play fortnite and its impossible... my screen is 144hz 1440p but i did lowest settings and even tried 1080p and the lags were too much... its a new gpu from today please help @@BlueprintPC
For me, the rx 6600 is worth it. Im not gonna pay flr the 6650xt for 250 for the same vram. 200 for 8gb vram is perfect. Any higher? no
You should make RX 6600 XT VS 3060 12GB video
I will do my best, It may have to wait till after I can snag one of the new 4060/tis
is 6600 really good for game recording ? Can't decide between 5700xt and 6600...
So technically the 5700xt is stronger but the 6600 has newer features like FSR, RT and SAM. Neither are great at game recording but both do fine
@@BlueprintPC I think i ll get rtx 3060. I have 7800x3d cpu.
225 and 300 are not in the same price class is it. You said as much at the end when the 6700 costs roughly the same as the 3060 so that would seem the fairer comparison.
I don't disagree, I matched these two up as its been a common request and honestly before long the 6700xt will $200 and battling the 3050 for price. It's not bad, just means AMD will have more value. Hopefully NVidia will learn from this.
What i want to point out is that the actual competitior for the 3060 is not the 6600 but the 6600xt and 6650xt since they are both at the same price range

I think they're still usually cheaper than the 3060, which tends to be more in the price range of the 6700 or even the 6700XT
RTX 3060 12GB is a solid card, as someone who has owned one its a great 1080 card. with many games able to run at 1440 resolution just as good.
I'm running mine on a 2k monitor and it's been great for every game. I just don't bump up the settings to ultra unless it's an older game.
@@RKDriver pretty much, like a nice car you don't wanna abuse too much when going up a hill or riding through thick snow, you just have to be humble with settings and it does what it needs to. both 3060 RX6600 sound like solid cards to own with good fps, and upscaling tech.
Q? I have gtx 1070 I just played cod warzone 2 Im planning to get rx 6600 worth upgrading?
Hey there, yes that is a solid upgrade!
@@BlueprintPC Thank you I bought it same model for 100 bucks on offerup open box and works great my gameplay is better and crispy graphic than Gtx 1070.
I dont think a pcie 3x8 will limit the performance of rx 6600.
RX6600 is pretty much the best option overall, it's performance is so good that there are UE5 games that I can play on 1440p ultra (possibly 4k) as long as the game is well optimized.
RX6600 makes 3060 and specially 3050 that still costs more than the RX6600 look like complete jokes. Other than productivity there is literally no logical reason to buy Nvidia for a mid range gaming pc. Because in my opinion ray tracing isn't really worth the performance hit regardless of what mid tier GPU you are using. So unless you have enough to get a 4090, don't waste your money on Nvidia.
I think DLSS, emulation compatibility and performance and VR Gaming are reasonable options for choosing a 3060 over a 6600 outside of productivity, the 3060 is just a more complete GPU overall. The problem is, most people don't care about that, or rather, don't think that unreasonable price difference justifies that. Pricing in low and mid tier nvidia gpu's is just dumb
I bought a used 6600. Though it works on a PCIE 4 motherboard, I couldn't get it to work on a PCIE 3 motherboard. I bought a used 3060 and it works just fine.
Thats and odd one! Were you using a riser cable?
@@BlueprintPC Nope, I was not. Just a gpu plugged into a motherboard. To be clear it would start up, but the system would eventually freeze. It was also sporadic as to how long it would work. OSs were Windows 10 and Linux Mint. Didn't have any issues at all on a board running i7-11700K.
Glad you got it squared away! We've all been there
have i have a ryzen 5 5500 cureenttly with a 6600. whats the highest gpu upgrade i can go? i have 600 W PSU
You could comfortably run a 7600, or 6700(non xt). Beyond that you will need higher cpu & psu
@@BlueprintPC if I wanted to go 6700xt how much watt would I need and what cpu would u recommend? Thanks for the quick reply as well
Which is better budget gpu for blender and unreal engine?
Nvidia
@@BlueprintPC any specific model?
The vram you can get in your budget, 30 series or newer
I wanted the rtx 6600 but they are all out of stock in my country.. had to shell out an extra 110 dollars for rtx 3060.
Sorry to hear that, t he bright side is that at least with the 12gn of vram it should last you a bit still
Just my thoughts, but most of these games very easily exceed 60 fps, so wouldn't it be more meaningful to display the 1440p too?
Neither of these cards really do very well at 1440p in anything but the most e-sports of e-sports titles. You can get some 1440p on with stuff like Genshin Impact or WoW but you're still gonna run into some Sub-60 situations so counting frames for 1440p really starts to become a silly endeavor. That's coming from someone who games at 1440p on BOTH these cards! The short answer is "sure you can, but in most use cases you won't or shouldn't", if you're looking for 60+ FPS at High/Ultra settings. If you're interested in high framerate 1440p you really need to look higher up on the stack, even 6650XT vs 3060Ti for mid-level 1440p performance, and the price hike is large.
@@Teapose most of the games being tested will run at around medium to high settings on 1440p (I think)
Hey there so I agree both these can handle 1440p with some mild comprises. I did this at 1080p since both the cards are "designed" for that. I will be updating my testing to include 1080, 1440 & 4k with the benchmarks. So you will likely see these two again with those results. Thank you for you comments, I really appreciate the input!
Weird you choose the rx6600 to compete the rtx3060 and not the 6600/6650 xt which are priced simular to the rtx3060. Then you jump to the 6750xt. A bit strange .
Hey there, so I paired the 6600 vs 3060 as this was a requested topic from many. I am completely aware of the price gap but in my opinion that kinda worked out as the performance is low close with that huge price gap. In regards to the 6700xt, Like I said... "curve ball" Thank you for your comment I appreciate that. other have pointed out what you are saying and I completely agree. before too long the 6700xt will be competing on price with the 3050 with the way prices are going.
I know some people who sold their nvidia gpus and downgraded to amd just cos they tried raytracing and felt that the difference is so minor and negligible. Remember. AMD won vs Nvidia on the console front. BECAUSE. They offer better value. Always keep that in mind.
Valid point! And they got the Steamdeck and ASUS Ally
These are all cards from 2021... I feel like lower-end graphics cards are gonna be announced soon, like May, June-ish? I would probably wait until Black Friday, tbh. Because the current prices are absolute dog shit all across the board. Only Intel seems to be pricing them more realistically, but only because they're trying to enter the market, and because they don't have that great of a product (and drivers). Speaking of, why isn't the Arc A750 here? It's faster than the 3060 for less money.
6:18 Next time maybe consider adding a drop shadow for the text. I couldn't see the title of the game because you're using a white text on a white background.
Hey there, thanks for the input! Specially the time stamp! I will try to fix that next time. Also I do have an A750 in route. I wanted to buy one and test it myself before commenting on its comparison!
I got my rtx 3060 for about 240$ and im gonna keep it at least for another two years
Big thx #awesomeasalways
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
How to fix it i get 160 fps in gta V but game is very blurry and lines are not straight so how to fix it? Please help
What resolution is your monitor? Are you using fsr?
@@BlueprintPC 1080p
@@BlueprintPC yes I use fsr
Have you tested without fsr? That could be the culprit
@@BlueprintPC yeah I tried but results same
bro i'm having amd ryzen 3 3200g processor now i'm going to buy amd rx6600 Graphics Card is good for gaming in high settings on 1080?
Hey there, so the GPU should do pretty well, but to be honest it might get held back some due to the processor. 3200g is technically Zen Plus so its getting a little tired. Honestly see how it runs and upgrade when you are ready. Should still be decent
I got 2 x FPS in all games + ultra quality changed GTX 1060 6gb to RX 6600. Bro i sold GTX for 80€ and get RX 6600 for 200. Best decision on my life.. and i use old processor ryzen 5 2600
Not a fan of the 6600
The performance of the XT version is worth it, also the 5700XT is just as fast as the 6600XT
Im a fan of the 5700xt, not sure why but I love the look of the Reference design. Good performer as well
In my country a 3060 cost $150 more than a 6600. Only issues are AMD drivers are still whack. Bugs in many games I've played which were never even present on my old 1060.
Have you done a clean install with the latest drivers?
AMD drivers are actually better than NVIDIA in my case
I’m having almost buying regrets because I got the RX 6600 but recording isn’t as good as nvidia
got bored and started looking into radeon gpus, found a 6600 for 98USD.
I didn't even think and just went and bought it-
Yeah I woulda done the same thing, Nice
i feel like the RX 6700XT is going to be the go-to card for a long time to come
You really cannot beat the performance for the price
I agree, lets hope it remains stock
imo 6650xt vs 3060 would be a better comparison
I'll add that to my list, thank you
I had a rx 550 2gb card and upraded to a rx 6600 8gb and OMG the difference is HUGE idk how people complain with a 8 gb try and play a 2 gb card it WILL humble you😭😭
rx 550 is trash thats why the difference is huge
I got a 6600xt for 175$, best purchase I've ever made..
Nice
Thx
For how much cheaper the card is it’s definitely worth the money
Why is he comparing a 12Gb 300 pound gpu with a 8Gb 200 pound gpu ??
will just say, in my country the 3060 is like double the price of the 6600, even in amazon the 3060 is like 50% more expensive (less than 200 usd for a 6600 and 300 or more usd for the 3060) still not a fair comparison like not even close
More reason to chose the 6600, where are you from?
the 6600 xt is worth it over the 6600. quite a bit faster.
What about the 3060ti i bought one an year ago
I do have a video in the works. The Ti varient is a solid card
Whats the best rx6600?
They all perform pretty much the same. But I would go with the Hellhound or Gigabyte Eagle imo
And what about productivity? Video editing, rendering...
This is what i struggle with. I want an AMD card because it offers more raw perfomance and vram for their prices, but for productivity, AI and such they still got a long road.
Nvidia it is once again.
I feel that, maybe someday...
I went for 3060 because my b450 mobo only has PCI-e 3.0 so i won't be losing any performance thanks to 16 lanes on the 3060, and 12GB of vram seemed more futureproof to me, as well as the posibility of using both FSR and DLSS when needed for some ray tracing or just gaining more fps for my 165hz display, if some game doesnt support FSR then with AMD you're basicly fucked in this regard, RX6600 is good only when you can get it MUCH cheaper.
Pcie 3.0 isn't that bad, the driver updates fixed most of the performance issues
I have an RX 6600 XT but man if I waited for a couple more months I would have bought an RX 6700 XT for the same money.
I understand, I've bought many O gpu for my channel at some poo prices
Is the 6600 better than a 1650?
Yes by a good amount
I have an Acer nitro laptop with a 1650 upgrading to a desktop I'm building with a i3 12100f and RX 6600
Solid build so far!
