Is this a cut down version of the “elder” AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT in terms of number of processing cores and clock speed. However, the graphics card AMD Radeon RX 6600 was launched at a time when rival NIVIDIA did not have many choices in the mid-range lineup. RTX 3060. More specifically, with some leaked information, the net performance of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 is almost equivalent to the NIVIDA RTX 3060 while the price is cheaper, making this choice very interesting.
AMD Radeon RX 6600 is manufactured on the Navi 23 XL architecture – a shortened version of Navi 23 XT found in the AMD RX 6600 XT version. In particular, the Radeon RX 6600 has 1,792 processing cores, 8GB of 128-bit GDDR6 bus VRAM (can have a version with 4GB of VRAM), 132W capacity – down 28W compared to the RX 6600XT version. Looking at it, we see that AMD is orienting this graphics card to the needs of playing games at max settings at FullHD 1080p resolution. This will compete directly with the NVIDIA RTX 3060 and possibly the NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti in the future.
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 will be fully utilized when equipped with an AMD CPU to take advantage of the AMD Smart Access Memory or Resizable BAR features. Although it does not focus heavily on the RayTracing feature like its competitors, this graphics card also possesses this feature, however because it does not have its own hardware to handle it, in some tests, AMD’s ability to handle RayTracing is limited. Radeon RX 6600 is only about 87% compared to NVIDIA RTX 3060. But in return, the ability to play pure games at FullHD resolution is equivalent in that test. This shows that the pure processing performance of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 is equivalent to the RTX 3060, but the RayTracing processing ability is about 13% lower.
One more thing is that the VRAM capacity of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 is a maximum of 8GB (4GB VRAM version is possible) which is less than the 12GB VRAM of the RTX 3060. However, the price of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 is cheaper than the RTX 3060. This is also reasonable and acceptable.
Until now, we have not seen NVIDIA move to launch RTX 3050 Ti to be comparable to AMD Radeon RX 6600. But somewhere, the new graphics card of the “Red team” will be in the middle. of RTX 3060 and RTX 3050Ti in both price and performance. Thus, this graphics card will be very suitable for those who use graphics cards to simply play games or do not care about VRAM capacity. You’ll get comparable performance to the RTX 3060 at a cheaper price.
Although there aren’t many expectations for that RX6600 can reach users because enthusiasts are still hunting for these graphics cards every day. But I still hope that they reach users at a more accessible price than the RTX 3060 at the present time.
