The RX 6600-XT is AMD's best value for money 6000 series GPU. It features 2048 shader units, a boost frequency of 2539 MHz, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 160W TDP. It also has 32 ray accelerators so ray tracing can be turned on for better lighting and reflections but at a significant cost to FPS. It does not feature an equivalent to NVIDIA’s hardware based DLSS solution which results in higher frame rates and image quality for supported games. Entry models have a suggested price of $380 USD, however street prices are around $600 USD. Nvidia’s 3060-Ti only headlines around 20% faster than the 6600-XT whilst street prices for the 3060-Ti are around 100% higher. Many experienced users simply have no interest in buying AMD cards, regardless of price. The combined market share for all of AMD’s RX 5000 and 6000 GPUs amongst PC gamers (Steam stats) is just 2.12% whilst Nvidia’s RTX 2060 alone accounts for 5.03%. AMD's Neanderthal marketing tactics seem to have come back to haunt them. Their brazen domination of social media platforms including youtube and reddit resulted in millions of users purchasing sub standard products. Experienced gamers know all too well that high average fps are worthless when they are accompanied with stutters, random crashes, excessive noise and a limited feature set. [Jan '22GPUPro]
CONS: Very expensive, paid a-lot only for it to literally blow up on a light graphics load 2 weeks later. Exceedingly poor build quality I can't recommend any graphic's card made in house by AMD, this is my second card by them that has blown up while my near 10 year old 760 that I have overclocked more than I should have is still going strong.
PROS: when it's not on fire it has 8gb of vram and performed slightly worse than a 1060 and much better than the 760 I tested it against. The single slot cooler seemed very effective for a heatsink of its size before it exploded.
TL;DR if you want a card with an AMD GPU buy one from a 3rd party card maker (msi, gigabyte, etc.) AMD made cards seem to always blow up. [Jul '21typingweb10]
