Not underrated at all. It sold very well and was represented with amazing showing on several test/sell sites. You will never get trend followers to stop buy Nvidia and buy what they need instead of what they are told they want. The RX6600 and xt version did a fantastic job replacing the RX 580 8gb while coming in loads cheaper than the crappy 3050 and the 3060 which were terrible price for performance options. I use a 7900GRE in my personal rig while 2 of our children have the RX 6600 xt and the other has the RX 5700 xt that was a hand me down when I finally upgraded. These cards are amazing 1080p GPUs and really good 1440p mid setting GPUs.
It's currently filling a hole in the market in Aus because it's selling for $730 AUD. That's a steal considering retailers are selling 2060s and 1660tis for approx $700. The 3060 and 3060ti are going for approx $1000. That and it's seemingly in stock
Wow love how clean your graphs were with the color and some good B roll of the 6600 XT in the background. Cheers man keep up the quality content my good lad!
Its rdna2, next gen. More performance than the 5700xt previous gen. And cheaper starting msrp. Your getting more for less regardless, i don't see the issue.
I will get this for my next build paired with ryzen 5 5600x. Already got: Evga gt 750w 80+ gold modular psu, Asrock pro4 b550 mobo, Asus tuf gaming gt301 case, Silentiumpc fera 5 dual fan cpu cooler. Going to order 500gb ssd on monday and 16gb 3600mhz ddr4 ram, then i got all the parts except cpu and gpu. 😎
I bought One for $379.99 USD. I needed the upgrade I had an RX580. It was had for me to get anything at MSRP. Still I have to agree. This card should've been priced tagged for at least $279.99
@keith watkinson definitely it's worth it. if you have a 1060 it's overdue. I had an RX580, and it was overdue for me. You will definitely see some huge performance.
@keith watkinson I have the same reasoning as well since my RX580 is also reaching near 4 years. Going to sell mine at $250 and treat the 6600XT as 50% off instead
@keith watkinson yup in the same boat as you, got this ASUS Dual OC for £380 and sold my RX 480 for £150, not a bad overall deal considering the performance boost.
I'm in the same boat I have a 570 and need a upgrade and its impossible to find any 30 series cards in stock for a reasonable price. Its selling for 500 in my area and yeah thats to expensive for its value but Im considering getting it in the meantime since the market for gpus is so bad right now and a friend gave me $100 as a gift so Ill be paying around $450 out of my own pocket which is probably as low as Im going to get a decent gpu or just wait and see what 2022 is going to be like but probably wont get any better till 2023 tbh
Good video. Would be great to show more details on the construction of this card. Can you check if the card has thermal pads connecting the back of the memories to the back plate? Thanks!!!
I bought this card intending to install it on a Pop! OS 21.04 system. Do you think that there is any reason to install AMD's drivers over the open source ones? I am hoping that the open source drivers are up to date by the time I build the machine next month that the RX 6600 XT will run just fine.
You say that this card is not good, relative to the 3060. But it beats 3060 on most benchmarks, runs cooler, and is priced about the same in Sept of 2021. ??
Where I live, a 3060 is around 800-900, while a rx 6600 xt is about 500.. Despite all the hate, im getting this one, no shittin way imma pay 800 for a 3060
Currently the equivalent of $230 USD in Canada brand new. That's a value! The 6700XT is currently going for the equivalent of $375 USD in Canada brand new. Both great values when sold at these prices! Here, Nvidia cards are 60-100% more expensive. Not worth it!
Considering I was able to sell my 1660 Super for near twice what I paid for it and picked up a 6600 XT for not much more than a 1660 Super currently costs it's the best deal going. Thanks GPU crisis!
@@WidePhotographs Ryzen 3600, a massive upgrade in FPS. Near double in Cyberpunk 2077 and at 1080p you can pretty much play anything on ultra and at 1440p it handles fairly well.

I think AMD just knows you can't buy a 3060 or 3060ti right now for anything less than double MSRP. If this was to be released without the current shortages they would have targeted 300 to 320 more or less but the seem to be fairly confident they will have lots of them available. So a "bad" card at 400 USD is far better than a better 3060 or 3060ti each of which starts at at least 700 still. It's just opportunistic there's nothing really confusing about what they're doing here.
Exactly. It's what I've been trying to tell people. I think reviewers should just not focus on the msrp's from Nvidia and AMD because they're irrelevant. Of course if you walked into a store and a 6600 XT was selling for $380 and a 3060Ti for $400 most people would get the 3060Ti but that's not even close to reality. AMD or Nvidia don't care about the person who can only spend $300 when their more expensive cards are flying off the shelves. There's also the rise in material costs, taxes, shipping and raw material which are real factors effecting the price. Inflation also has an effect, printing money isn't really free money. I'm a self employed subcontractor and stock prices have risen tremendously, doubled in some cases and I pass those costs to my costumer. I'm not a charity and neither is AMD or Nvidia.
Well rightnow the 3060,3060ti,RX5700XT are way over 200$ more expensive than the RX 6600XT that's why i would get it.But normally i would take a 3060/3060ti
Is it a huge diff in terms of performance and temps comparing it to the rog strix version of this card? Better fans maybe? Or I'll just be paying more because it's a strix card?
It's very close to 3060 in most titles actually, so I'd say the price is a bit off. Hopefully it'll get better over time. Performance per watt however is pretty sweet.
wow, considering the dual mini 2070 from ASUS I got had a bad fan, the replacement they sent me had a bad fan, and users everywhere complain about the shoddy quality of the Dual series from them (Asus) I can't believe they priced this in the "premium" tier.

As of now this card on Amazon is $389. Is that a good price or are there other cards that are on par with this one for cheaper? I’m new to the pc space so any advice would be awesome!
@@solaaar3 I went with with this card and it gets the job done. I’m not trying to overclock or game in ridiculous resolutions. I wanted a smoother experience with higher frame rates and that’s what I got. I’m happy with it so far
Awesome review fams. Def don't see the point tho and like you said should have been released at least 6 months ago. Keep up the hard work. Appreciate all the great videos you and Klaire do :)
Timing in this market isn't really a consideration. 6 months doesn't make a difference when pricing is expected to be horrible for then next 6-9 months.
I saw this on sale at Scan in the UK for £330 which is a decent deal. baring in mind the RRP of the 3060 is 299 then I think it's a really good deal considering the 3060 sells for £500+ on the same websites
My card right now is a Radeon R9 380 Nitro, bf2142 will not run on my old card -.- So, my plan is buy the Radeon RX 6600 XT Dual OC. Is in order and comes in 2 days yey :-) Sure, must run it in PCIe 3.0 but, better then with my old card for sure xD
Canada has a bad gpu market... newegg ca 6600xt prices ranges from 499-849$ (asus model price is 849) sad T_T... but if this was below the said MSRP would this be a better upgrade to gtx 1070 @1440p?
£380 to £420 in uk Keep in mind we have to pay 20% vat So if you subtract that from the price thats the true price £304 dame i thought we had it bad its worse in Australia Stockx in uk selling £667 rx 6600 xt plus £13 postage
$630-ish NZD versus $800 for a 2060 and $900 for a 3060. I'd rather get a 3060, but for the price (at least right now) I could get a 6600XT and a 144hz monitor
Mate, what are you on about with the pricing? Yes, they are quite high at present but $699 AUD for the 6600xt Asus Dual is reasonable compared to the current princes of the Asus Dual 6700xt at $1,329 AUD and Asus Dual 3060ti at $1,349 AUD.
Bottom line it's a super efficient card with the power of a 1080ti and better than 2060, cheaper than both 3060 & 3060ti. It's a good fooking card mate!👌Stop talking about the 5700XT, it's NOT AVAILABLE like most of Nvidia cards. Availability over excitement!
I'm kinda surprised but OverclockersUK has over 100 RX 6600 XT's in stock at MSRP right now maybe AMD was right about stock (many optimism rn). Honestly and GPU at MSRP is an insanely good deal these days so if it does stay like this it could be the best value GPU there is.
@Tsaya Sounds 6600xt is 44k INR equivalent in USA, and it runs cool and quiet, and FAST. 3060 Ti is better, but too expensive, and it uses maybe 100 watts more power! No thanks.
Man, what’s with wiring these for only 8x pcie. Pretty sure they did that with the 5600x. I’d rather pay the extra $5 for the copper just to have the 16x on the slot so it’s not gimped by pcie 3.0
@@Runescapevidproducer Correct!! PCIE 4.0 8x... which means if you have a Ryzen 2000 or 1000 series CPU OR Intel 10th Gen CPU or older, the graphics card will run at PCIE 3.0 8x....
I just got selected and bought it. I entered for my brother who really needs a card. We'll continue to enter for a chance at a better card such as a 3070ti or better. If we get selected for that card, then we'll just sell the 6600xt.
It doesn't matter if it came 6 months ago, I'd still wouldn't buy it cus its expensive for the performance, its should've been $280 or if they had to increase the price, $300 at most. I don't care about street pricing I care about the official recommended price, the lower end market is being buried away and I only hear a small minority talking about it. We need more voices to start talking about the lower end customers who can afford cards, when prices go back to normal & the value/$ is exceptional!
Not impressed with the 6600xt it's basically a renamed 5700xt with similar performance 🤔 and it's priced to high considering a 3060 is 330 and a 3060ti is 400 and the 3060ti is way way ahead performance wise over the 6600xt priced at 380 😢 the 6600xt should of been priced around 250 to 300 to make it competitive 🙄 good video thou 👍
@@CESAR_H_ARIAS yeah agreed 🙂 my figures purely going off mrsp prices if I had 400 in my pocket and had the choice between the 2, I'd buy the 3060ti all day

Who's using linux? Why would you bother to test all that on linux? Anyone gaming or video editing on linux? If so WHY? Just give us hash rate on linux. That's it. Cheers mate!
I use Linux as my main OS. Not to mention basically every single server on the entire internet. Steam Deck uses Linux. Every Android phone is Linux. The router that you're using right now to write this uninformed comment is probably running Linux as well. Who's using Linux? You are.
I do. A few reasons why people consider Linux over Windows: - Privacy: No telemetry by default + you can deactivate or isolate software that you don't trust - Security: The security model of OSes with a Linux kernel is usually way more robust than Windows. It's very similar to MacOS in that regard. - You own your PC with Linux. You have the highest privileges with a root account (the administrator on Windows is not equivalent. LocalSystem is the equivalent but you can't really use that account yourself) - More stability (and even if something breaks you can fix it without a reinstall) - Package managers: System updates and updates of the software are a core functionality that people use on their PCs. However on Windows each program brings it's own installer, updater, uninstaller . This is stupid because it's functionality that most tools need and it's not a trivial task to build a secure updater. You also don't have to google for programs, hope that you are on a legit site and download a random .exe - Better multi-threading, scheduling and filesystem performance - Philosophy and Ethics: Windows is closed source, you can't really fix issues on Windows and you don't know exactly what it does. You can work around the issues and reconfigure Windows, but you are not able to solve actual bugs in windows. With most software being open source (and/or free software) on Linux you can open feature requests, make bug reports or contribute yourself. Have you every tried getting a feature in Windows (as someone who is not a huge corporation)? - Working search - plain text config files: If you want to configure deeper things that the UI doesn't expose you don't need to google for magic registry values, a texteditor is enough to configure everything. - updates when I want and only what I want: Updates are great! I don't fear that anything breaks, I'm just excited for new features There is a lot more but nobody reads this realistically. So why do I game on Linux and use Video editing,... I game on Linux because ArchLinux is the OS of my choice for the above reasons and a lot more. I can play Beat Saber with my Valve Index and Half-Life: Alyx. I play Anno 1800 with friends on a regular basis. It just works good enough that I don't see a reason to switch to Windows just for gaming and video editing. Sometimes you lose a couple of FPS in other cases you win a couple. I even got old Windows games to run in wine that don't work on modern Windows anymore. For video editing I use Kdenlive, it works well and improves constantly. If you want to do a Hollywood production there is Davinci Resolve.
@@GearSeekers Hahaha I see these kinda response a mile away. I know there're linux everywhere in our life. Server/Phone/Router/HD Player/IoT but are you gonna stick RX6600XT in one of that? So my question still stands, why bother testing it? And pls don't tell me 5 of you guys will do that.
@@l__________________3452 I'm not debating that Windows is better than Linux or viceversa. I'm saying how many ppl gonna use RX6600XT on a linux PC? Should it need to be test that much?
From what I’ve seen it’s a good card but it’s over priced which sucks I need an upgrade from a 1050 and was thinking about buying this card but spending close to $500 for something with mid range performance isn’t going to happen I wish the market was not messed up right now this card would be worth it around $300

@@DerekDavis213 well ill study a lot but i donk know from where u collect this info...The GTX 1080 Ti delivers comparable performance to the RTX 2070 Super and this time also the 5700 XT. Using the highest in-game quality settings you're looking at well over 60 fps at all times when gaming at 1440p....take a guess...u get the ideea!
@@dumitrucatalin613 6600 xt uses high clock speed on the gpu, and a more advanced gpu design too. So 128-bit memory doesn't harm performance very much at all *THAT* is why the 6600 xt performs about equal to 5700 xt, which used 256-bit memory. I'm always happy to school the n00bs. haha
In this day and age MSRP of all the other videocards introduced since last year do not have a realistic MSRP and should have been higher. My take on the MSRP of the RX 6600 XT it is more realistic. You'll never get the other the other videocards at MSRP anymore its just wishfull thinking.

Nvida & AMD : expensive? ok...next miner on the line,how many units you want sir
this GPU is PCIE 4 x16 or x8 ? help me thanks !!!
Did you see the card noise ramp like whine sound at high load/fps?
wow, considering the dual mini 2070 from ASUS I got had a bad fan, the replacement they sent me had a bad fan, and users everywhere complain about the shoddy quality of the Dual series from them (Asus) I can't believe they priced this in the "premium" tier.
It's asus, what do you expect.
@@Ryan-re1rs a solid product like ASUS is known for delivering? lol what brand fanboy are you? Its well known in the industry ASUS is pretty much the highest quality you can get, MSI being a semi-close second, and gigabyte and ASRock competeing for last place
As of now this card on Amazon is $389. Is that a good price or are there other cards that are on par with this one for cheaper? I’m new to the pc space so any advice would be awesome!
i think this is the best option right now price/perf wise
@@solaaar3 I went with with this card and it gets the job done. I’m not trying to overclock or game in ridiculous resolutions. I wanted a smoother experience with higher frame rates and that’s what I got. I’m happy with it so far
Awesome review fams. Def don't see the point tho and like you said should have been released at least 6 months ago. Keep up the hard work. Appreciate all the great videos you and Klaire do :)
Appreciate you
@@KlaireGearSeekers no u ❤️
This Asus dual or asrock Challenger6600xt ?????
I bought this used for 180$, if the price is the only bad thing than im pretty happy
Timing in this market isn't really a consideration. 6 months doesn't make a difference when pricing is expected to be horrible for then next 6-9 months.
I saw this on sale at Scan in the UK for £330 which is a decent deal. baring in mind the RRP of the 3060 is 299 then I think it's a really good deal considering the 3060 sells for £500+ on the same websites
jesus bro at that price i wouldve bought the shit outta it
Paid 320£ for mine at overclockers.
Got a pc from aftershock and they asked if I wanted an upgrade since they didn’t have the one I was getting thanks mate
Available in German Stores - various Brands from 469 Euro incl. VAT, it should have started at 199 euro
I watch gearseeker's feelgood vids to end my day
My card right now is a Radeon R9 380 Nitro, bf2142 will not run on my old card -.-
So, my plan is buy the Radeon RX 6600 XT Dual OC. Is in order and comes in 2 days yey :-)
Sure, must run it in PCIe 3.0 but, better then with my old card for sure xD
What do you think about de pro w6600??
Canada has a bad gpu market... newegg ca 6600xt prices ranges from 499-849$ (asus model price is 849) sad T_T... but if this was below the said MSRP would this be a better upgrade to gtx 1070 @1440p?
£380 to £420 in uk
Keep in mind we have to pay 20% vat
So if you subtract that from the price thats the true price £304 dame i thought we had it bad its worse in Australia
Stockx in uk selling £667 rx 6600 xt
plus £13 postage
I actually got the Asus Dual 6700xt at micro center on sale about a month ago. Pretty good card so far
$630-ish NZD versus $800 for a 2060 and $900 for a 3060. I'd rather get a 3060, but for the price (at least right now) I could get a 6600XT and a 144hz monitor
Mate, what are you on about with the pricing? Yes, they are quite high at present but $699 AUD for the 6600xt Asus Dual is reasonable compared to the current princes of the Asus Dual 6700xt at $1,329 AUD and Asus Dual 3060ti at $1,349 AUD.
$500 MAX
I just got this card brand new for 420 aud so def good buy
"Around MSRP"
Asus STRIX 6600xt: $550us
this card is going for 539 us the same card in the 6700 is going for 819 us on B&H VIDEO
Bottom line it's a super efficient card with the power of a 1080ti and better than 2060, cheaper than both 3060 & 3060ti. It's a good fooking card mate!👌Stop talking about the 5700XT, it's NOT AVAILABLE like most of Nvidia cards. Availability over excitement!
Yes, the card seems underwhelming. But should I get a 3060 for 1149, or a 6600xt for 800?
@AlaskanShrake so streaming with the 6600xt isn't ideal?
Msrp in USD today 499.99. Just got mine, last in stock at micro city. Good enough to game!
Let me rephrase... Last in stock at the micro city i went to.
I bought mine for 599CAD and am not disappointed. 3060ti (if you can find them)
are 750+. Not disappointed in my purchase
I'm kinda surprised but OverclockersUK has over 100 RX 6600 XT's in stock at MSRP right now maybe AMD was right about stock (many optimism rn). Honestly and GPU at MSRP is an insanely good deal these days so if it does stay like this it could be the best value GPU there is.
Yeah, shame it's for UK and Ireland customers only :(
@@ko_tech ikr, thankfully I'm in the UK.
Scan in the UK also been doing combo deals on an evga 2060 and a evga 600w psu for 360 🙂
Would you buy this card, if it's at the same price as that of RTX 3060? Here in India, it is.
no, 3060 is better.
@@cosmosess 3060 is not better, according to all the benchmarks here.
The tests and benchmarks prove the 6600 is better. It's almost close to 3060 ti performance.
@Tsaya Sounds 6600xt is 44k INR equivalent in USA, and it runs cool and quiet, and FAST.
3060 Ti is better, but too expensive, and it uses maybe 100 watts more power! No thanks.
Thank you, was always looking on other brands of 6600xt wc is better.
Not a great value in normal times, but it's in stock (UK) at close to MSRP , so there's that .
I literally come to see his videos just to hear him say “hey gear seekers im nick” lately he hasn’t said his most famous intro line 🥺💔
We've changed it up, not doing it anymore haha.
You are right, this card should have been a lot cheaper.
my brother got one $499 nzd, good price i think
Hello, does it have any RGB light? If so, in which part?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man, what’s with wiring these for only 8x pcie. Pretty sure they did that with the 5600x. I’d rather pay the extra $5 for the copper just to have the 16x on the slot so it’s not gimped by pcie 3.0
The Bus standard on the ASUS website for this card specifies PCI Express 4.0 though?
@@Runescapevidproducer Correct!! PCIE 4.0 8x... which means if you have a Ryzen 2000 or 1000 series CPU OR Intel 10th Gen CPU or older, the graphics card will run at PCIE 3.0 8x....
@@DoomedGrind ewww PCIE 3.0 8x, ok now I see the issue. Why the hell would AMD do that...
This vid did not age well
MSİ has not CrossFire GPU usage. but ASUS got.
Sold out within 15 seconds
I was able to get the ASUS Dual Radeon RX 6600 XT 8GB GDDR6 from Newegg shuffle, but at that $500 price tag I'm not sure if its worth it. Thoughts?
No it's not worth it at all. It should be around $250-300USD MAX
@@GearSeekers Thank you!
I just got selected and bought it. I entered for my brother who really needs a card. We'll continue to enter for a chance at a better card such as a 3070ti or better. If we get selected for that card, then we'll just sell the 6600xt.
It doesn't matter if it came 6 months ago, I'd still wouldn't buy it cus its expensive for the performance, its should've been $280 or if they had to increase the price, $300 at most.
I don't care about street pricing I care about the official recommended price, the lower end market is being buried away and I only hear a small minority talking about it. We need more voices to start talking about the lower end customers who can afford cards, when prices go back to normal & the value/$ is exceptional!
I just want my first PC so I can do my school work on it.
But I just don't want to buy anything at the moment it's so overpriced
Completely out of stock or priced at 900 dollars or highr
nothing is cheap right now in the pc market, a 3060 will probably cost more if you can even get your hands on it. lol
LOL.. just got this exact model second hand off eBay for $265 AUD, and was only 6mths old... How prices have changed...
Not impressed with the 6600xt it's basically a renamed 5700xt with similar performance 🤔 and it's priced to high considering a 3060 is 330 and a 3060ti is 400 and the 3060ti is way way ahead performance wise over the 6600xt priced at 380 😢 the 6600xt should of been priced around 250 to 300 to make it competitive 🙄 good video thou 👍
Sadly something isn't true in what you wrote: all thos *MSRP* prices
@@CESAR_H_ARIAS yeah agreed 🙂 my figures purely going off mrsp prices if I had 400 in my pocket and had the choice between the 2, I'd buy the 3060ti all day
@@tech_jims well amd did the joke: *a gimped 5700 xt 2 years later* im glad i bought mine at 325 just 3 months after launch back then, sold it for 600 shipped after i upgraded, my 6800 was almost free!!
@@CESAR_H_ARIAS nice move pal 👍
A 3060ti is not 400 though is it……. Let’s get back to reality!

Incredible but in my country this gpu is cheaper than a rtx 3060 lol
Who's using linux? Why would you bother to test all that on linux?
Anyone gaming or video editing on linux? If so WHY?
Just give us hash rate on linux. That's it. Cheers mate!
I use Linux as my main OS. Not to mention basically every single server on the entire internet.
Steam Deck uses Linux. Every Android phone is Linux. The router that you're using right now to write this uninformed comment is probably running Linux as well.
Who's using Linux? You are.
I do.
A few reasons why people consider Linux over Windows:
- Privacy: No telemetry by default + you can deactivate or isolate software that you don't trust
- Security: The security model of OSes with a Linux kernel is usually way more robust than Windows. It's very similar to MacOS in that regard.
- You own your PC with Linux. You have the highest privileges with a root account (the administrator on Windows is not equivalent. LocalSystem is the equivalent but you can't really use that account yourself)
- More stability (and even if something breaks you can fix it without a reinstall)
- Package managers: System updates and updates of the software are a core functionality that people use on their PCs. However on Windows each program brings it's own installer, updater, uninstaller . This is stupid because it's functionality that most tools need and it's not a trivial task to build a secure updater. You also don't have to google for programs, hope that you are on a legit site and download a random .exe
- Better multi-threading, scheduling and filesystem performance
- Philosophy and Ethics: Windows is closed source, you can't really fix issues on Windows and you don't know exactly what it does. You can work around the issues and reconfigure Windows, but you are not able to solve actual bugs in windows. With most software being open source (and/or free software) on Linux you can open feature requests, make bug reports or contribute yourself. Have you every tried getting a feature in Windows (as someone who is not a huge corporation)?
- Working search
- plain text config files: If you want to configure deeper things that the UI doesn't expose you don't need to google for magic registry values, a texteditor is enough to configure everything.
- updates when I want and only what I want: Updates are great! I don't fear that anything breaks, I'm just excited for new features
There is a lot more but nobody reads this realistically. So why do I game on Linux and use Video editing,...
I game on Linux because ArchLinux is the OS of my choice for the above reasons and a lot more. I can play Beat Saber with my Valve Index and Half-Life: Alyx. I play Anno 1800 with friends on a regular basis. It just works good enough that I don't see a reason to switch to Windows just for gaming and video editing. Sometimes you lose a couple of FPS in other cases you win a couple. I even got old Windows games to run in wine that don't work on modern Windows anymore. For video editing I use Kdenlive, it works well and improves constantly. If you want to do a Hollywood production there is Davinci Resolve.
@@l__________________3452 an excellent replay 🤣
@@GearSeekers Hahaha I see these kinda response a mile away. I know there're linux everywhere in our life. Server/Phone/Router/HD Player/IoT but are you gonna stick RX6600XT in one of that?
So my question still stands, why bother testing it?
And pls don't tell me 5 of you guys will do that.
@@l__________________3452 I'm not debating that Windows is better than Linux or viceversa. I'm saying how many ppl gonna use RX6600XT on a linux PC? Should it need to be test that much?

Folks are talking about trading there kidney for a graphics card....man this is some strange times eh!
Hard pass on this card due to price, even at msrp it doesnt make sense.
It is too expensive but in my country the 2060 is 150 euro more. The 3060 is 250 more. 🤣
From what I’ve seen it’s a good card but it’s over priced which sucks I need an upgrade from a 1050 and was thinking about buying this card but spending close to $500 for something with mid range performance isn’t going to happen I wish the market was not messed up right now this card would be worth it around $300
its a lower powered 5700xt that costs less to make and doesnt perform quite as well for the same price 2 years after the 5700xt launch....... yeah, this card sucks donkey b@lls
Paid 330£ pound for mine
128 bit in 2021 when 98% of the games demands 256 minimum? good joke! and 1080p :)))
Which games 'demand' 256-bit memory?
@@DerekDavis213 all of them...if u live in 2021....mario doesen't require a video card;)
@@dumitrucatalin613 You seem quite confused about 128 vs 256 bit vram.
Fast 128-bit GDDR6 vram is equal to or even better than some 256-bit GDDR5 designs for example.
Keep on studying, it's never too late!
@@DerekDavis213 well ill study a lot but i donk know from where u collect this info...The GTX 1080 Ti delivers comparable performance to the RTX 2070 Super and this time also the 5700 XT. Using the highest in-game quality settings you're looking at well over 60 fps at all times when gaming at 1440p....take a guess...u get the ideea!
@@dumitrucatalin613 6600 xt uses high clock speed on the gpu, and a more advanced gpu design too. So 128-bit memory doesn't harm performance very much at all
*THAT* is why the 6600 xt performs about equal to 5700 xt, which used 256-bit memory.
I'm always happy to school the n00bs. haha
In my country this card is very cheap
In this day and age MSRP of all the other videocards introduced since last year do not have a realistic MSRP and should have been higher. My take on the MSRP of the RX 6600 XT it is more realistic. You'll never get the other the other videocards at MSRP anymore its just wishfull thinking.
