Every GPU review for the past year has really made it clear that anyone who bought a 1080ti at launch unknowingly scored the deal of the decade.
I hesitated 10 times before buying my 1080ti. $700 was just way too much but I wanted that performance. Buyer's remorse disappeared real fast with 20 series launch and has simply sweetened since. Too bad Nvidia does dick for optimizing for it anymore.
@@zodwraith5745 I got a 1080 for $500 back in the day, and I'm just happy that even though I want something better now, I can still play modern stuff over 60fps.
I got lucky for a long time, bought an R9 390 that I had for 3 years then sold for quite a bit more than MSRP during one mining craze, then bought a 1070 with the money from that after the mining craze died, now its worth pretty much what I paid for it still after a couple of years
Secondhand mined 1080Ti for dirt cheapo 300$ post the 2017 mining boom you mean.
Pffft, the Radeon 7 which failed so hard it was cancelled in 6 months was the deal of the decade. $750 at launch, 2k$ on eBay :p
Well, this certainly did not age well. The 6600xt and 6600 were easily the heroes of this generation. Performing on par or better than the 3060 and 3060ti while being significantly cheaper and in stock more often.
Definitely
Considering that the local pricing hierarchy for in-stock cards right now is 6600 (AU$429) < 3050 (AU$519) < 6600XT (AU$549) < 3060 (AU$649), the Radeon cards destroy in value for money. The 6600 especially sells regularly below MSRP.

Reviewers comparing the 6600 XT to the 3060Ti was such a bad take. In fake MSRP land it's $379 vs $399, but in reality it's a $500 card that's in stock vs $700 one that's never in stock. Now we're seeing RTX 3050's sell for as much as 6600 XT's now.

You guys do realize he says at 'street pricing', the 6600 has better value, right? He says it at the end.
Sooo in a nutshell if you have a card that does 1080P gaming around 60fps, keep it and don't buy a new video card.
That's pretty much any GPU made in the last 3 years, let's be honest. The GPU market has been flooded with e-sports and "fancy 4k 60 fps" marketing non-sense. When 90% of people still game at 1080p 60 FPS. They are pushing these overpriced units to feed into a crap marketing strategy to get people to buy stuff they don't need.

This is a review that definitely needs a redo. The 6600xt has a lot of fans out there now with its better pricing than the 3060 and it's also aged much better. FSR 2 has erased any advantage DLSS brought for the 3060 and the driver improvements from AMD have pushed the 600xt well beyond the initial reviews.
Yeah dude the 6600xt and 6650xt which is the one I own slays the 3060 in both price and performance not including ray tracing because who the fuck cares about that with these budget cards

Just stoping buying them simple as that I’m not buying a ps5 or building a pc due to the dumb over priced market it’s honestly a joke idc if I’m rich I hope these company’s lose money a lot of money in the future greed gets you no where
This is the new normal. Get used to it bro. Either gpu will be cheap and abundance or not but I think cryptocurrency is staying so to adapt to this either make more cards or low supply and high price
I will use my $40 GTX 660 until it explodes or something
Where I live the 3060Ti's street price is on average 300$ to 450$ over the street price of the 6600XT, that makes the 6600XT look like less of a bad deal.
Yeah, a 3060 Ti is super scalped right now. This 6600XT, as sad as it may be, will be the savior of a lot of people's systems.
yea 6600XT is about 2/3 the price of a 3060Ti where i am
Yep, where I live the 6600xt launched(comparing bottom prices) at $120 less than the 3060ti launched and closer to $200 less than the 3060 at launch and it actually had stock, there hasn't been an occasion yet where I can't buy one at one of my locals. Comparing the price/performance to 2019 levels makes it look pretty poor, once you factor that the majority of the world hasn't been able to buy a 3060 or 60ti for anywhere near MSRP(Or at all) for 9 months, that it's available and offers good performance at it's power envelope it seems like a pretty legit buy.
3060s are going for like $1,000 where I am right now and 3070s like 1299-1500 Because you have no choice but to buy it from scalpers. If you try and ask a store when they are getting any they will simply tell you they aren't. Or that they don't know.
you gotta tell me the street where 3060 TI ranges from 300$ to 450$
Now that the shortage has sort of ended, this specific card (the red devil) has became a really good value buy. It costs anywhere from 20-30% cheaper than a 3060 in my region and it outperforms the regular 3060. Even after taxes (which are massive in my country) it is less than msrp and we are talking about the second best card from the 6600XT cards. Absolutely good value for a brand new card. Especially good deal when buying used as these were rarely used for mining.
got one for 300 euros, when 3050 often retail for more than that, it's crazy how much people are willing to spend on nvidia lmao
I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who needs to upgrade at this point in time.
If their card broke from a few gens ago, is fine. Also nvidia 10 series and Polaris and below, many models. It's great. My 1070ti is still kicking so I got to hold out.

Agreed man.
I got super lucky personally.
I managed to finish my build just before all this shit really started going crazy, near the end of 2020 right before Cyberpunk came out.
(That game let me down so hard, but at least it let me finally buckle down and build my dream setup, lol.)
So for that alone, I'll be grateful to Cyberpunk.
But yeah, I managed to snag a 3080 for only $750 ish from Newegg, got super lucky. I had to watch multiple websites websites for weeks, was a pain in the ass with work duties, luckily those bot notification services helped a ton.
Now I'm built with my 3080 and 5800x and Lgcx OLED, 120hz display and couldn't be happier.
That said, I do feel bad for anyone still looking for graphics cards. To all your people still looking, good luck, and stay strong.

I recently replaced my RX 580 with the 6600 XT, and am happy with it. The 3060 ti was roughly $300 more and I couldn't justify that for my gaming. If you're upgrading from a Polaris card, the 6600 XT is a good card if you can find it for $600 or lower these days.
I have a 580 too and was looking at this card since the scalpers don't seem to have effected it as much as the competition. How big of an improvement is it?
Bruh i have a dead RX 480 staring at me from that case window, while i research this crap market for a good budget replacement. Guess i'll have to shell out a bit for atleast a 6600xt.
Is this me from me past? Lol, i'm literally in the same boat. I just bought a 6600 XT this morning. I had a RX 580 (a 4gb at that). I'm sure I'll be more than happy with the upgrade since the price wasn't throat ripping ($630 after shipping).

I have a 570 and im in the same boat. Most likely getting the 6600 xt instead of a car that beats it by 10-15 fps for $300 more
I just think noone likes to see a class of card that would have gone for $250ish now going for $379 'msrp'.
That was really my only gripe about it was pricing, this card should've been sub-$300 when it was launched
It's just that no one wants to see 250+$ cards for 720p gaming in 2022 - it's ridiculous especially when you consider msrp of new consoles...
I think sub 300 cards are dead in the market. You'll be able to run better with agpu than anything that you can buy. So far from what i've seen that a 5700G or H is out performing a 1030.
One word...inflation.
Or to be more clear, dollar value devaluation.
Add that to the supply and demand issue, and the tension in the South China Sea, and it's a wonder that it isn't more.

Same with my gtx 670 :)
I still have my gtx 780, but it died years ago. I can fix that thing?
@@abcplay57 Depends on what broke. For me it has always been the soldering between the GPU and the PCB that cracked from all the heating and cooling circles. Heating it up enough so that the soldering becomes liquid and letting it cool down again fixes that issue for a while.
If you have defect memory or a mosfet, you not only need spare parts but also know what you are doing.
In the case of a 780 you don't really have a lot to loose so give it a try. Look up videos on how disassemble that card and how to resolder processors. Shield the components around the processor with aluminum foil, as you don't want to heat components that don't need to be heated.
Make sure you have something to clean the processor with and thermal paste for reassembling the card.
Can't belive this scalping / shortage BS has been going on for almost 2 years already, really lucky i managed to build my pc with a couple of months before it started.

I bought my 2070S just before the launch of the 30 series. Then the launch happened. I sent my card back to the reseller, got my money back. My intent was to buy a 3070. I'm enjoying my GTX 950 ever since. One of the stupidest decisions of my life.
This card was recently recommended to me and I may start hunting for it. My current PC was built in 2015 and is using a gtx 980 so it is well past it's prime these days.
Got one for around 550usd equivalent here in Japan a nitro+ model after rebate at Amazon
Very happy with it super efficient and quiet as well as able to run my games at 1440p 60fps
3060ti cost minimum 30% more over so in my case it was a no brainer
I've lost most of the excitement I had for PC parts over the last year, honestly I'm slowly selling a lot of my stuff since it's just not fun anymore.
right move, its just not fun anymore
While my excitement for pc hardware has gone down, my passion for gaming hasn't. My 5700xt i7 7700k build is more than good enough for now and I also have a ps5. End of the day, a pc is just a tool for gaming
The pricing on the 6600xt is just AMD cashing in on the huge demand for graphics cards at the moment.
It's so shrunk down they can produce a considerable bit more than any rdna2 card.
Larger volume = profit
Obviously AMD are going to cash in on this crazy demand they are profit driven company that answer to shareholders. Plus, when AMD had decent gpus at decent prices people still bought overpriced RTX 20 series cards so yeah any company would want to cash in on that market. Heck, people are buying RX580 cards off Ebay at £400!
and it's not a one off... it's been like this for months. So it's no surprising we are getting $300 to $400 newly made polaris cards from stockpiled polaris GPUs.
@@earthtaurus5515 look around... stop listening to youtubers and find some info elsewhere... Joshua Bardwell along with other FPV experts... having issues finding chips and components for FPV drones that are not used for GPUS or miners at all... Still just as hard to find as a high end gpu.... SUPPLY AND DEMAND... huge lack of supply huge demand, HIGH price increase... regardless of what it is, TP or GPU....
But it's not amd who is providing these GPUs
*Facepalm*
The board partners of amd are feeling the brunt of silicon shortage. The ones who make the GPUs. The price of almost every component has increased there. Especially silicon. If they want to pay their workers and not turn in a loss during a time like this then they have to increase the price. Simple supply and demand.
Please stop saying it's AMD that's being greedy and look at the actual prblem of why it's priced high. It's not scalpers, rather it's silicon shortage.
If you didn't know, amd doesn't build majority of its GPUs in house. It's the board partners like evga, msi, sapphire who need the silicon to make GPUs. Amd don't really make them.
I don't see the reason for those complaints because it's going to settle at around the same price. The only difference MSRP makes is the profit margin for AMD. So consumers don't really lose with it, just retailers.
I've had an RX 480 8gb for a couple years now, and it came to me second hand. I have been looking to upgrade since the start of the shortages occured, and because of that I feel like this card has been squeezing out performance so much longer than it can probably handle that I don't know how much longer it has. I was aiming for a 3060 a couple months after launch, then the prices skyrocketed. Honestly just been sad to see.
I’m in the same situation as you are, but my RX 480 has recently started black screening…I don’t know what to do lol.
@@gregorygardere1275 Having an AMD 580 and a GTX 1080ti, I think the jump in performance from a AMD 480 to a AMD 6600xt would be worth the price of the 6600xt at the cheapest you can get one. That or a 3060 if the price was cheaper ( it isn't in my market). The 6600xt is basically equivalent to my GTX 1080ti and feels like a lot more performance from 1080p to 1440p. If you can't afford to wait any longer this would be a good card. That said I hope you have PCIE 4.0 so you don't miss out on any bandwidth since they only give you x8 lanes on the 6600xt. If you don't I'd probably look for a higher tier card or an nvidia equivalent so you get your money's worth. That said, it might be time to upgrade you CPU platform depending on how old it is as well.
@@gregorygardere1275 does it black screen when you launch a game right? I have a MSI RX 480 8GB And it black screens all my monitors I have to power off and power back on to fix it everytime
Last month my MSI RX 480 just straight up died, BIOS didn't even recognize it. I've had my build since 2013 and put the RX 480 in around 2016 so I am looking at a 6600 XT for my new build
I still havent seen in game raytracing that i like more than the default lighting that was made to look a certain way already. Feel like it just mucks the look they were going for up.
As a 5700xt owner, this whole generation is a write off. With my 7700k also getting old now, ill probably just build a whole new pc in end of 2022/2023 whenever things return to normal.
Now is actually a good time to buy a processor. You can easily get a 10850k, 10700f, 3700x, 5800x, 5600x all well below msrp. It’s gonna be quite some time till they refine ddr5 and once 12th gen and later zen 4 comes out the cpu market might blow out like the gpu market for awhile. Depending on your ram and power supply you could just drop in a new board and processor and sell the 7700k with that board and it would be a fairly inexpensive upgrade.

"butt, butt, butt" - Jay 2021
Jay, this would be an uplift for my system. I'm currently running a tired 1060 6g with a 3600x and 32 gigs of 3200. The market has gone crazy, but I feel, that even at $429, it's a good value. 🤷♂️
Well, now it`s selling for less than 3060 so this did not age well.
I’m honestly scared that the market will never be able to “normalize” again. If it doesn’t I don’t know how some people will be able to game on pc.

"Never" is an inappropriately strong word. There currently is a slight supply and the longer they stay on the shelves gathering dust the lower their prices willl be. Unless you have a terminal illness and want to play a particular game before you kick the bucket then waiting is your best bet. Prices will inevitably fall as supply grows.

I appreciate the overall showing of how each GPU output is performed. I would like to see you do a video of just basic rendering and what you use to get the max out of each game.
@AlexTheGiant ua-cam.com/video/U90bCcPAtMo/v-deo.html is a general guide to understand GPU settings and get the most out of it :)
I was confused by this because every review I've seen for this card is actually amazing and positive
The 1080p performance is superb and it's $400 cheaper than the 3060 and plenty capable of superb gaming, this card fits most people's setup
yeah it is confusing.. I was watching ancient gameplays recent video pitting this AMD card and another AMD vs the RTX 3060.. title "RX 6600XT vs RX 5700XT vs RTX 3060 | 1080P, 1440P & 4K Benchmarks"
and the AMD cards are whooping the 3060 @ss most of the time on titles like Gears 5 - Horizon: Zero Dawn - Assassin's Creed: Valhalla - CONTROL - Red Dead Redemption 2 Forza Horizon 5 Cyberpunk 2077 Call of Duty: Warzone - Resident Evil: Village - God of War...
On average its not even close. and sometimes 30, 40 fps more. So im not quite sure what all this means except that it means that I dont know much about the subject...maybe its skewed by testing criteria. Like I heard jay say he put everything on the highest settings. Which I think doesnt make sense for actual real use cases of gpu's in this segment.
for my own understanding I just checked AG conclusion a bit more instead of skipping through everything :-) and he says the caveat are games where you need more vram or if you want raytracing.. if you need that the 3060 is A LOT better, like miles better than a 6600xt..it turns the entire thing around. But still for me a rx 6600 seems a much better choice then cause im on 1080p monitor and I sacrifice eye candy for more fps and playability. I dont care about ray tracing if I lose massive amount of frames because of it... on my graphic settings in warzone Im way below the 8gb of my rx570.. pretty much dont care about particles, lights, texture. just want a gpu that pushes as much frames as possible at 1080p

Personal opinion: charging more than $300 before tax for a midrange GPU is just criminal
Yes, makes Nvidia pricing look a lot better despite being more expensive.
@_Triger_ so true.
@_Triger_ Well 1060 6G launched in October 2018 at $250. That was decisively midrange for about 2 years. Adjusted for inflation it's $275 today and there has been no current gen card with MSRP below $300.
Welcome to, the price of GPU outside of America. You privileged prick

I'm still more than happy with my RX480 that I bought 4 years ago...
same here with my gtx 970, im probably not gonna upgrade till at least the 4000 series (maybe even 5000)
Same here - got my RX480 in Feb 2017 (for around £260), had a mini debate with a friend when I bought my RX480. He was telling me paying extra for 8 gigs vram was pointless especially since I was fairly broke at the time. My instincts were screaming at me to go for the 8Gb RX480 and I told him that sooner or later the vram is going to play a crucial part in holding hi-res textures. Well... not tooting my own horn anything - I was proven right as not long after the mining craze hit and 8 gigs is going a long way in keeping graphical fidelity through high res textures 🤣.
My 8 gig rx 480 is still alright, but definitely showing its age. I recently upgraded my monitor from 1080p60 to 1440p165 and this old card just isn't cutting it anymore.
Still happy with my 1060 6GB that I bought 5 years ago...
r9 390 baby. And 8gb of vram which it will never use entirely but 6 would be too less
I have the Asrock 6600xt challenger, matched with their phantom gaming b550 and a ryzen 5 5600x. This card for 1080 is a fantastic buy. I upgraded from a 1070 and r5 2600x.
I just bought the ibuypower deal at bestbuy with that setup for $1099. I don’t even know if my monitor is 1080p so I hope I picked a good one. Ryzen 5 5600x with 16 gb ddr4 ssd and a tb hdd. With rx 6600xt. Seems like a good deal.
1080 what now
1 year later and the 6600 (non XT) is the best GPU for 1080p gaming for 220 bucks, 80 bucks more and you get the RX6650XT wich is almost as good as the 3060 Ti.
thank god nobody gives a shit about mining anymore
The more I hear about GPU prices, the more I'm convinced my $700 + $150 motherboard combo for a 3070 w/pre installed EK waterblock was a great deal.

Seeing that it's a 270€ Card of worth for 400€,
RDNA 2 compared to RDNA 1 feels like Turing to Pascal in terms of price to performance to features.
Basically as if the buying recommendation of last gen switched around for this one.
The card is on retail at 500+ euros actually up to 700 on some brands, that card might be cheaper compare to global gpu market but so not worth it. I stopped thinking about buying a ryzen 5700g because it's pcie gen3 but gen4 just for the SSD is not worth it I guess...
It's also PCI-E X8...... X8! 😶😶. AMD weren't kidding when they said they made the BOM price quite low therefore "allowing" for cards to be sold at MSRP in this market. Check out Moores Law Is Dead video about the 6600xt.

It does have one advantage over the 5700XT although it's not really compelling enough to trade an existing 5700XT for it and that is in power efficiency .... A 5700XT wasn't very efficient and ran at a pretty high temperature
Thank you for comparing it to the 5700. Gamers Nexus only talked about the 5600 and objected to how much more expensive the 6600 was, but it seemed to me that a cost-to-cost comparison was more relevant than simply going by the arbitrary naming schemes.
@JayzTowCents what psu wattage do you recommend for the RX6600XT paird with a 5600XT both over clocked?

It's almost as if any company will be happy to price gouge the shit out of everyone, when they are enabled by retards who will give in and purchase shit they don't need for stupid amounts.
Kinda late to this review but I think this card is pretty outstanding. Maybe not the best price per watt, but in this market place can't complain. It seems to be readily available most of the time so that's a plus.
I have one of these cards in my pc. Whenever I try to run Warzone the game will often crash (just Warzone, MW works fine) and display an error message saying a driver timeout has been detected. Does anyone have any solutions?
The tragedy of the current generation of GPU's is that after you go down from the top 3-4 offerings in model numbers they have, the performance is simply is not there anymore and compared to the last generation cards they are not worth it.

Plenty of life left in them both.. especially in this hectic market.
If your rig is running PciE 3.0 you are better off with the 5700, theres not a big performance jump as the 6600 is PciE 4.0 x8 which limits the motherboard to x8 (as opposed to x16) Better off saving your nickels and dimes for when (if) this microchip madness, ever ends.
Do you know what the size of thermal pads on 6600 rtx? what do you recommend or have idea?
Hmm. PC game developers must be suffering nowadays. I can see a lot of people (myself included) losing interest in PC gaming. My 1060 6GB was $199 a couple of years ago and still runs most games alright in 1080p but at some point I have to upgrade and I really don't want to spend more than $350 or so. A PS5 (if I can buy one) at $399 is looking more and more tempting to me.
Oh no dont go there 😁
It will eventually come back to normal.
Why do you think PS5 game developers are doing any better? There's an industry crisis on the way, regardless of platform.
No alternative - I've got a playstation and have a PC. I sold the playstation because it is more expensive and not as flexible than a PC. Flexibility not in the way of using a wordprocessor etc. I mean flexibility in playing old games. I couldn't play old playstation games I paid money for on a new playstation and even if there was an option sometimes you had to pay for it to get it for the new system. And second more expensive. Many games I played you are able to play with all functions on a PC for the price it is sold for and you can install any mods you want. On a playstation you have to be a playstation plus member to use functions like network abilities that are free with the PC version that cost the same. The price for a plus membership is equal to the price for a AAA game. And mods - for example Skyrim - it was shitty on the playstation (crashes etc) lower quality and many popular mods were not available on a playstation. And then Cyberpunk 2077 - on the playstation of a friend it was a desaster and on my PC it worked wonderful and my PC even doesn't met the minimum requirements..... . And PS and upgradeability are not really a thing. I don't see the option to change more than the storage, no RAM-, GPU- or CPU-update with a console.
Cant buy a ps5 either lol.
I feel lucky to have built my system in december of 2019. My 5700xt gaming x was $430. Im just crossing my fingers that i dont need to replace it before prices become reasonable again
I was pretty close to buying the 350€ Radeon 5700 before the pandemic hit. But I wanted to wait for a 5600 or similar and see how much it cost.
So in the meantime I got a RX 480 with 4GB. 8GB was almost 50% more expensive because the mining boom had already started to happen.
I built my PC at the very end of 2019 with an RX 590. Thought of upgrading 2-3 years down the line. When the 3000 Series came out with their MSRP, I genuinely thought I could get a 3060, or at the very least it'll push value of the RTX 2000s down.
Was I wrong. People are selling used RX 590 the same price as a new 2060Ti in 2019; and the last 2060S stocks I saw costs the same as a 2070Ti in 2019.
my 5700XT was fucked with driver issues when i bought it. So i had to return it and i instead bought a 2070 super. When the 3070 came out i sold it for about 350 usd and was lucky enough to get a 3070 for 600 usd. Now i had to build another pc and ended up with a used rx 480 which is a pretty good card at 1080p.
Upgraded to Ryzen in late 2018. Bought a 4gb Rx 570 that Newegg basically gave me. $130 plus two redemption codes for RE2 and DMC5 ($120 value).
Picked up a power color 6600xt from micro center yesterday for $100 over msrp (479). Still sitting in the box. Don't think I need or want it without upgrading my r5 2600 and 1080 monitor.
what if you select silent mode bios on powercolor card and only connect 8 pin power cable? will it work without 6 pin power cable connected? 🤔
Hey man thanks for this video....when I was looking to buy a GPU i compared in paper the 5700xt vs 6600xt and while some of the specs were impressive at the end of the day the cost was the deciding factor.

so i guess i did good buying my 2080ti on ebay for $500 when everyone was saying it was going to be crap after the 30 series came out
I regret not buying the 2080ti in august of 2020 just before 30xx cards was announced for that same price you mentioned as there were lots of it going for that price on ebay back then.
8th June 2022, Malaysia. 6600xt can be had @MYR1799 (USD409). Cheapest 3060ti @MYR2319 (USD528).
Closest NVidia card in pricing is 3060 @MYR1755 (USD399).
Should I still opt for 3060ti?
I’m really having an issue with the software. It won’t load windows 10 after installing the software and I have no idea what to do
There's no point in upgrading gtx 1060/ rx 480/580 cards. When you bought them for 200-250 dollars 5 years ago and the performance per dollar hasn't changed. The wonderful world of stagnation....👿
This is exactly why I just bought a pre built, it was literally cheaper than buying all the parts myself and putting it together
Likewise
If you don't buy scalped parts, cheaper to build yourself.
Always a extra cost for pre builds. Even the companies that only charge msrp for components, they have a build fee
@@ltbeefy9054 But when they can get a gpu for half the price...
@@ltbeefy9054 yeah but right now that build fee is nothing compared to current gpu inflation prices. Prebuilts are the most valuable option across the board until further notice, unfortunately
@@MeowppleCider this
I'm upgrading from a gtx 950 so I might take one of these if I can find them. Definitely not into paying 600-900 dollars for what is supposed to be mid-range gpu.
Building my own pc has always been a dream. My wife and I work great jobs but with todays prices, it just doesnt make sense for me to build a pc rn
Maybe in a couple years!
@@pseutube lol
I was really looking forward to buying one of these or a similar card to replace my RX570, but I'm still stuck waiting for the prices to come back down to reasonable levels. It's annoying as hell
Why upgrade a 570, its still a perfect card, works great
@@thedamntrain5481 there's nothing at all wrong with the card, but I just wanted something new, and something that would better keep up with the Ryzen 7 3700x I picked up last November when I did a full rebuild of my pc, the only thing I'm missing is a GPU
Rx 570 user here. Yeah. Still works great but doesn't do justice to my 144hz 1440p monitor.. Anyway, still can play Genshin and dota2 maxed out
I have a RX 570 4GB, great GPU but I need an upgrade to play Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite
Great vid man.... I personally have no problems with this card. I got the Powercolor Fighter at 379 from Microcenter here in Chicago. For the price/performance at the current market rate, this card is great! Compared to my 3060, the 3060 does not win in any game I have.
Cool story..
would you get a preowned version of this or a gtx 1080 ti?
I just purchased a new 6600XT for £350 - the 3060 ti costs £600 at the cheapest (and this is after the recent price drops). At MSRP, I understand your point - but in the real world, and for the foreseeable future, my purchase was definitely the right choice (I really needed an upgrade from my elderly RX 570, as it was holding back my professional work).
I know those games can be FPS maxing, but you're still using titles from 1, 2, 3 years ago. I'd love to see a more recent game included
Thanks for still doing these reviews it was beneficial when I finally could buy a 3070 from the last Best Buy store release.
I just got an xfx rx 6600xt and been having problems with no video out signal. I did ddu and reinstalled chipset , have the latest bios and as soon as i install AMD driver it wont load into windows. any possible solution??
hi jayz would it be better to buy amd gpu to go with amd cpu or doesnt it matter ie match the achitecture.
