  • Benchmarking the AMD Radeon RX 6600 8GB against 13 modern and popular games using an average gaming PC.

    Although the GPU shortage is over, there's still a hole in the market where reasonably priced models should be. There are only a handful of graphics cards available for under £200 in late 2023, and they vary from the idiosyncratic (and largely out of stock) Intel Arc cards to the ancient GTX 16 series. If you want to buy a £200 card that’s guaranteed never to have been used before, is on a relatively modern architecture, can run old games just as well as new ones, AND can do ray tracing, there’s only really one option - but is it actually any good?

    7:15 I was trying out capping Jedi Survivor to 40 FPS in Rivatuner for this capture. As you can see, the frametime graph is rock solid. Highly recommended, especially if you have a monitor with a 120Hz mode!

      There is a game called "The Isle" I play often, it's a UE5 game with pretty good looking graphics, I play it at 1440p mostly maxed out settings (other than shadows being on high instead of Epic) I get 60-120 fps depending on where I am on the map. Oh also this is with no upscaling too.

    Just an anecdote about Control, I've been playing it for the first time recently and I noticed the same texture pop in on some objects with my RTX 4070 (Max settings + RT). It was pretty noticeable on the portraits like you showed at 2:42, so I think it may be more of the game's doing than the GPU.

    Hadn't used Radeon in 12 years and that was in a laptop, then i got the RX 6600 for my second gaming rig just a month ago. An HP z420.
    I was nervous incase it didnt work, but it did, its gorgeous!
    If i swap out that rig for a brand new one, ill just pop the RX in that one.

    @BladeTrain3r 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Been running a 6600XT for a year or so now and it's done well. Although bear in mind that if you pair it with an older platform and CPU like a 2700X, it'll underperform. Soon as I moved to an AM5 board with Smart Access Memory/Resizeable BAR support and a newer CPU it took off. So it's definitely better as part of a full new build if possible rather than an upgrade, unless you've already got a fairly recent CPU.

This gpu is great, efficient (Energie costs are up), cheap (180€ used) and is a good upgrade from my gtx 1650 on my old Laptop (which could only use 50w max. In some games the 6600xt uses less or equal watts to the 1650 for much more performance. Can only recommend it. I should add, I play only on a 1440p 144hz display. Also great for 1440p if you dont expect to play on ultra or high

    @ashce10 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I have one, I think it's basically a safe recommendation to anyone who has a strict budget and doesn't want to risk the used market. It plays every game on the market but it will need some (usually minor) compromises to run the latest titles.
    I definitely agree that if one is strict budget and wants a new GPU there is no competition truly at this price bracket but this does lead to the hardest question for the 6600 - if you save just around $20-50 you can get a 6650xt and sometimes a 7600 which are both a good bit faster.
    Still, the entry tier pricing of this card is meant for the most budget minded and it does run every game and usually well, so it is worth praise for that. It's also better than the woeful and more expensive rtx 3050, which is actually love to see you review as I've heard people complain it's a downgrade at times from a 2060 and you're by far my most trusted tech and GPU reviewer.

      Same card I have in one of my rigs. It's a beastly 1080p card. Runs everything maxed out without problems. I do recommend changing the fan curves though since they are set as "off" until it hits 60 degrees C from factory. Put mine at 35% at 0-50c and then a steady climb to 100% from there pretty much matching the temp up to 100C. It's not necessary but it dropped idling temps from 33-35C to 24-26C and max temp never goes over 60C.
