The Radeon RX 6600 XT is positioned by AMD as an ideal graphics card for playing in good conditions on a Full HD monitor. A model which therefore aims to overshadow its direct rival, the GeForce RTX 3060.
The Radeon RX 6600 XT is a very good graphics card for gamers who want to play on a Full HD monitor and have no desire to activate the raytracing in compatible games. For them, this model offers performances of a very good level and the controlled power consumption leaves the possibility for manufacturers to offer models with discreet cooling. For others, it is better to turn to a GeForce RTX 3060 or a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
Strong points
- Performance at 1080p (rasterized).
- Power consumption contained.
- HDMI 2.1 video output.
Weak points
- Activation of raytracing which has a too strong impact on performance.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Positioned by AMD as an ideal graphics card for Full HD gaming, the Radeon RX 6600 does not really disappoint in this display definition. It is rather comfortable in these conditions, even if certain games will have to see their graphics settings slider reduced to maintain a speed greater than 60 fps. On the other hand, it is useless to hope to activate raytracing, this unfortunately results in games that are too jerky.
