  • It’s been a while since we have taken a look at what has been one of AMDs best price to performance graphics cards, the RX 6600 8GB so today we are revisiting it in 2024 and seeing how well it holds up against some of the latest and most demanding games out now.

    Please put power consumption listed on the overlay next time. I think it's important for people to see how RX6600 is one of the most power efficient cards on the market. I also wanted to see how much your 5800X3D was using in 1440p..

    Got the Sapphire version of this little card(best version in my opinion, with metallic backplate and smaller more compact size than the Asus), bought it as an upgrade from a 1650.
    It was the first card that gave 200 euro for since i only gave 150 for my 1050Ti and even lower for my 1650 but if we count inflation threw the years then i guess it wasn't really that much more expensive than the 1050Ti.
    Was defintly worth the price since i finally got the 8GB of memory that solved any issues i was facing due to low memory with my two previous 4GB models.
    It really rocks and for me that has a 1080p screen it can play absolutely everything just fine and even in high detail. At 1080p you can even get some ray tracing going if you play with the settings.
    I plan to stick with my screen for another 2-3 years at least(it's a good screen with 144HZ refresh rate as well), i think being 1080p isn't a big problem it looks quite fine(yes i have seen higher resolution screens, i wasn't blown away by the difference) and with that it means the little RX6600 probably has a good 2-3 years of life in it as well.
    If you calculate frame per euro etc then it is a value king type of card. The only regret is that it isn't plug and play as my previous cards and needs more power.

      I also have the Sapphire version of this GPU. No, this ASUS Dual version is better (not because performance, but because of better cooling). Sapphire model has terrible fans that can get crazy loud (push it to the 120W PL and you'll see), meanwhile the ASUS Dual model has bigger fans, allowing it to perform better and also quieter. I only bought Sapphire model because it was cheaper than the ASUS model

My friend got the 3060 12gb KO ASUS too. it's also quiet when the fans are on. I had a 2060 Gigabyte before this and it was so loud, I replaced it with this coz of the power savings long term and near silence when gaming.

    8 GB is plenty for 1080p and higher settings in games from before 2023, it's the higher settings, specifically 1440p ultra settings or 4k medium that you really need more than 8. At entry level, 8 GB will get you everything you need for some quality gaming at 1080p.

    I think this is the card I'll get to upgrade my sons PC from the RX480 which has been great but I'll probably use that in another basic build now. Thinking of pairing the RX 6600 with a Ryzen 5 5500 for a balance of budget and performance (he only really needs 1080P for now, doesn't have a monitor that can do more than that at 60Hz). The only thing I'm still considering is that my son wants to also potentially stream and record UA-cam vids of him gaming, so i was also considering a NVidia 3050 or 3060 so he can use the NVENC chip to handle the streaming/encoding part , but interested to get your view on that.

    Hi ! Honest review here. I haved in 2022 to avril 2024 the rx6600xt and I was really in love with this GPU, perfect for 1080p60 ultra gaming on PC, sometimes you can push to 1440p60 high with FSR, it work great, ultra very hyper efficient with undervolting and underclocking (I never see a GPU more efficient than this 6600xt ! Really amazing ! Consume less than the 6600 for better performance with UV/UD ! I recommand it !) ... if prices difference is not big : GO TO RX6600XT (or his refresh rx6650xt !). The right choice for 1080p60 ultra gaming today. (But rx6600 at 200 euro or less in second market can be a great deal too for budget PC gaming, better than a old GTX1060 or something like that ! The rx6600 can be compare to GTX1080/1080TI but with a consumption cut by twice or more !). Now I play on the incredible rx6800 ! The queen of the rx6000 Amd's series ! Today his prices for his performance are so great ! The real big deal today is the rx6800 for serious gaming on PC for under 400 euro ! Just amazing ! This card made a better job than newest gpu like 4060TI or 7700xt !

      Everyone considers every card differently tbh. There are no specific rules to it all which is why I find it strange when people say "This is a 1080p or 1440p card"... Based on what? What frame frames? What settings? What games? and How many games?
