AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Price, Benchmarks And Specifications

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Price

The mid-range AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT’s 1080p gaming performance comes from RDNA 2. Its architecture, benefits, restrictions, benchmarks, cost, specs, and 3D rendering, video editing, gaming, and ray tracing performance are addressed here.

Architecture & Key Features

  • Architecture: RDNA 2 (Navi 23), 7nm process
  • Compute Units: 32
  • Stream Processors: 2,048
  • Ray Accelerators: 32 (1 per CU)
  • Memory: 8 GB GDDR6
  • Memory Interface: 128-bit
  • Infinity Cache: 32 MB
  • Game Clock: 2,359 MHz
  • Boost Clock: Up to 2,589 MHz
  • PCIe Interface: PCIe 4.0 x8
  • TDP: 160W
  • Power Connector: 1 x 8-pin

The RX 6600 XT supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.3, and OpenGL 4.6 with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) for better game performance.

Advantages

  • It runs modern games at 1080p with superb frame rates.
  • Energy-efficient: 160W TDP with little power usage.
  • Quiet Operation: Under light loads, features like fan-stop mode help to ensure quiet operation.
  • Smaller PC builds can benefit from the compact design.
  • FSR Support: Improves gameplay in games that support it without noticeably lowering visual quality.

Disadvantages

  • Limited Ray Tracing Performance: Has trouble with ray tracing when compared to rivals from NVIDIA.
  • Lack of DLSS Equivalent: Although FSR is accessible, it falls short of NVIDIA’s DLSS in terms of both performance and quality.
  • Due to restricted bandwidth, PCIe 4.0 x8 interfaces may see minor performance decreases on PCIe 3.0 systems.

Gaming Performance

With its strong frame rates in contemporary games, the RX 6600 XT is as excellent choice for 1080p gaming. Performance may vary based on the optimisation and settings of the game, even though it can run some games at 1440p. Due to its 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory interface, the card is less appropriate at 4K.

3D Rendering & Video Editing

RX 6600 XT fares well in content production, although it lags behind NVIDIA’s products, especially since it doesn’t support CUDA, which many professional applications demand. It performs better than the RTX 3060 but worse than the 3060 Ti in Blender. It performs worse than both NVIDIA rivals in Premiere Pro.

Ray Tracing Performance

RX 6600 XT hardware-accelerated ray tracing is poor. Ray-tracing Cyberpunk 2077 and Control lowers frame rates, rendering them inappropriate.

Memory and Bandwith

Memory

Memory Size: 8 GB

Memory Type: GDDR6

Memory Interface: 128-bit

Memory Speed (Effective): 16 Gbps

Memory Bandwidth

Bandwidth: 256 GB/s

Even though the GDDR6 memory is fast, the 128-bit bus restricts overall bandwidth in comparison to more expensive GPUs (such as the RX 6700 XT, which has 384 GB/s). AMD makes up for this, though, with a 32 MB Infinity Cache that improves effective bandwidth and lowers memory latency in a variety of gaming situations.

Power Consumption and Power Efficiency

Power Consumption

Typical Board Power (TBP / TDP): 160 Watts

Recommended PSU (Power Supply Unit): 500 Watts

Power Connector: 1 x 8-pin PCIe

Power Efficiency

The 7nm RDNA 2 architecture of the RX 6600 XT prioritises performance-per-watt. Extremely power-efficient GPU.

Efficiency Highlights:

  • High 1080p Performance at Low Power: Outperforms NVIDIA GPUs like the RTX 3060 (170W) in recent games.
  • Cool and Quiet: Low heat output makes cooling solutions quieter and smaller.
  • Ideal for Small Form Factor PCs: Low TDP and single 8-pin power make it great for compact builds.

Pricing

The RX 6600 XT cost $379 when it was first released. Region and availability may affect current market prices.
