Already before release there are first test reports for the new AMD graphics card RX 6600 XT. The promise that the new graphics card in the 1080p area becomes a full HD flagship, the manufacturer can only be conditionally complied with .
Since August 11, 2021, the RX 6600 XT card is available from AMD for a UVP of 379.99 €. For the price you will not be able to buy the graphics card, because the reality of the hardware world currently looks dark.
In our article we show what different testers keep from the new card and why AMD touch the 1080p throne only with 2 fingers, but can not conquer.
What is the Radeon RX 6600 XT?
The RX 6600 XT is the latest graphics card by Team Red Aka AMD. It enters the lower performance end of the 6000 series, whose first models are already published in 2020. The card is today, on August 11, 2021, appeared and should focus on the full HD players before anyone else. But players looking for a budget solution for their gaming setup could be held by overpriced street prices from the purchase.
This offers the RX 6600 XT: with PCI Express 4.0 as well as HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort connections you could use the RX 6600 XT even in higher resolutions and heart rates. The test of the Gamestar shows that the card is already in WQHD (2560x1440p) to waver. The scarce 8 gigabytes GDDR6 video RAM move 4K enthusiasts a strong damper.
Radeon RX 6600 XT at a glance
That's what the testers say about the Radeon RX 6600 XT
In this section we present the most important tests for RX 6600 XT.
Gamestar: "with raytracing quasi unplayable."
The Gamestar writes (via Gamestar):
With the Radeon RX 6600 XT, AMD is placed exactly between the RTX 3060 and the RTX 3060 Ti. The latter proves to be clear faster in our test, the RTX 3060 is removed at the same time. However, only what the rasterization performance is concerned, ie the normal image calculation (no raytracing).
hardwareluxx: "In the end it depends on the price."
Hardwareluxx writes (via hardwareluxx)
In the benchmarks, it lies in most games between a GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. With regard to the previous Radeon generation, it is at eye level with the Radeon RX 5700 XT. (...) No option is the Radeon RX 6600 XT in the representation of the rayTracing effects in various games that will help them now. The role of the card is simply not enough - usually not in 1080p.
PC Games Hardware: "The energy efficiency is pleasingly high"
PC Games Hardware writes (via pcgameshardware)
The intended purpose advertised by AMD in combination with a full HD screen undoubtedly works, performance is sufficient in any case for good to very liquid frame rates. The storage capacity of 8 gibyte makes ordinary services, rarely it becomes tight. Energy efficiency is very pleasantly high, even excellent in absolute idling.
ComputerBase: "The EIA is set too high"
Computer Base Writes (Via ComputerBase)
The new smallest RDNA 2 graphics card is faster in Full HD than Radeon RX 5700 XT and GeForce RTX 3060, the projection is in pure rasterizer titles at 7 or 13 percent. AMD's official price recommendation of 380 euros is too high overlooking the market environment. The GeForce RTX 3060 costs a good piece with 329 euros, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, on the other hand, with 419 euros not too much more.
Golem: ,, to 1080p and (not) Beyond "
Golem writes (Via Golem)
The Radeon RX 6600 XT is the cheapest graphics card with AMD's current RDNA2 technology. The manufacturer explicitly applies the pixel accelerator for 1080p gaming, which we can understand based on our test results. Regardless of this, the card is still suitable for 1440p and with reduced details also for 4k. In these resolutions, the Radeon RX 6600 XT loses significantly against the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
It falls on all the testers: Offer a buy recommendation is difficult for many testers. The reason for this is above all the lack of availability and the associated expensive resale. The RX 6600 XT will probably be out of print shortly after release - it would be a miracle if not. Then resellers on Ebay again desire for the card. Estimated road value of the card lies according to the testers at 500 - 700 €.
Why hardware is so expensive at the moment and you so rarely find graphics card to the list price, explain the experts of the Gamestar in the Talk:
With 379.99 €, however, the EIA is already too high. The handle is worth it - theoretically - only minimally more expensive RTX 3060 Ti (RRP: 419 €); DLSS and better rayTracing performance is thank you. Real gloss moments can be celebrated with the card only in Puristic 1080p. But then please without raytracing, because the framerates themselves fall in "only" full HD in the basement.
After all, the RX 6600 XT scores in terms of energy efficiency. Here she cuts significantly better than the competition RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti of Nvidia. Just 160 watts should devour the card during operation.
Per
- Without raytracing best card for the 1080p area
- low energy consumption
- HDMI-2.1- and PCIe-4.0 support
Contra
- With active raytracing no liquid frame rates
- Even in the EIA too expensive - and you will find it nowhere at the moment
benchmarks: so good performs the RX 6600 XT in games
Who should buy an RX 6600 XT? That's the target group
An RX 6600 XT should especially buy the players who
- Play on a Single Monitor Setup with 1080p (Full HD).
- are very important for energy consumption.
An RX 6600 XT should not buy players who
- Wishing a resolution of WQHD in high FPS.
- want to play in 4k.
- Luggage with raytracing effects.
Who does not have to worry about your own purse when buying a graphics card:
An RTX 3090 graphics card costs 4,220 euros - how well is such an expensive graphics card?
