About this deal

That feels like a niche audience when your new generation's most affordable GPU is traditionally meant to be the one which targets the broadest range of PC gamers possible. With immersive gaming technologies and support for DirectX® 12 Ultimate, AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 XT graphics cards draw you into the action. Gaming at 1440p is still absolutely possible, but you won't be pushing a 144Hz display in most games, and you might need to drop a few settings down a notch or two to get above 60 fps. The RX 6600 XT, however, is already pretty restricted in terms of bandwidth, and so the regularity of cache hits at its target resolution should mean the extra effective bandwidth boost of Infinity Cache will be a true boon for its limited 128-bit bus. In Dirt 5, the RX 6600 XT is 16% faster than the RTX 3060, and in the original Metro Exodus, it has a 15% lead at 1080p.

This will give your CPU direct access to your GPU's memory, which should improve latency, and thus gaming performance.Their earn reports are the damning evidence they are just taking advantage of the situation and their excuses are just that: excuses. It was in the first set of slides, it was the 4th/last slide comparing against the 1060 which made me chuckle. The drivers themselves have been regularly improving over the years, but that actual software is now joining it. There's no reference design for the desktop card—the RX 6600 XT shown above is merely a 3D render for marketing purposes—but there will be compact single-fan solutions as well as the usual mix of dual- and triple-fan coolers from all the major graphics card partners. Then there's Radeon Anti-Lag and Radeon Boost, now with a variable rate shading boost in certain titles, which are both designed to deliver the slickest gaming performance in competitive games where milliseconds can be the difference between life and death.

He has been working as a tech journalist since 2004, writing for AnandTech, Maximum PC, and PC Gamer.We're big fans of it, and while it's not as snazzy a solution as DLSS, it will still deliver more performance and look pretty great while doing so. That means the trimming of the CUs, memory channels, and Infinity Cache all combine to create a chip that's 29% smaller, perhaps with a similar reduction in performance. The Radeon RX 6600 XT specs have been widely leaked and guessed at, and it looks like many of those were fairly accurate. If you want a full rundown of how the RDNA 2 architecture is able to produce graphics cards able to keep pace with Nvidia's finest, then check out Jacob's excellent Radeon RX 6800 XT review. Again, we can't stress enough the importance of getting enough cards to market—something neither AMD nor Nvidia have been able to do since last summer.

We recommend that you check with your local dealers for the specifications and appearance of the products available in your country. Select this driver if you are a content creator engaged in workflows like Computer Aided Design (CAD), video editing, animation, and graphic design. AMD's Radeon RX 6600 XT will officially launch on August 11, 2021, putting to rest the past couple of months of speculation and leaks.One of the keys to the latest architectural design is the way AMD's engineers have been able to push its efficient silicon faster than any GPUs we've seen before. Even in Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, which is definitely more geared towards Nvidia graphics cards, thanks to the always-on ray tracing, the RX 6600 XT was able to get 52 fps at 1080p, which is more than playable. AMD also provided details on the die size, transistor count, and number of ROPs, which as expected are all quite a bit lower than on Navi 22. The RX 6600 XT ended up edging past the RX 5700 XT by 5% — not a huge improvement, but a win nonetheless. Dave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!

That's a 40 CU chip with 96MB Infinity Cache and a 192-bit memory interface, plus the various other elements like the video controllers. We get that not a lot of PC gamers are going to go all-out for ray tracing, but it doesn't make sense to pick up the RX 6600 XT unless you can find one that's more than 20% cheaper than the RTX 3060 Ti. Built to help content creators make the best, Radeon™ Pro Software for Enterprise is designed to deliver more quality, performance, security, and simplicity.We've included the complete slide deck from AMD's presentation below for anyone that's interested, along with pictures of RX 6600 XT cards from AMD's partners. With only 8GB of VRAM, the GPU can only work on one ETH DAG at a time anyway, so narrowing the bus to 128bits shouldn't hurt too much. The further you get into a new architectural generation of graphics card the more it becomes a known quantity and you can almost predict the performance ballpark of subsequent iterations of GPU. AMD also tested five more popular esports games on the RTX 3060 and RX 6600 XT, and the margins are a lot closer there. Like the rest of the Radeon RX 6600 graphics cards, the Radeon RX 6600 XT is based on AMD's 7nm RDNA 2 graphics architecture.
