Revisiting the RX 6600 in 2024... Still a great budget option?

[@Ladioz]

Please put power consumption listed on the overlay next time. I think it's important for people to see how RX6600 is one of the most power efficient cards on the market. I also wanted to see how much your 5800X3D was using in 1440p..

[@danielkowalski7527]

[@rafabrett6978]

I have this exact model almost a year ago for 143 usd and i couldnt be happier playing in 1080p high all of my games. And with fsr3 and other technologies it probably going to have 3 or more years to live

[@Cloudy_VR_0]

I have it too

[@traitoR142]

Bought one to put in an HP prebuilt that originally had a 1050 ti and an i5 8400, only has a 310 watt power supply with one spare 6 pin power cable, bought a 6 to 8 pin converter and gave it a try, been solid for almost a year now, max power draw overclocked is only 210 watts from the wall on my power meter when heavy gaming, entire computer uses less than 50 watts otherwise, i'm blown away how good this card is honestly.

[@SIPEROTH]

Got the Sapphire version of this little card(best version in my opinion, with metallic backplate and smaller more compact size than the Asus), bought it as an upgrade from a 1650. It was the first card that gave 200 euro for since i only gave 150 for my 1050Ti and even lower for my 1650 but if we count inflation threw the years then i guess it wasn't really that much more expensive than the 1050Ti. Was defintly worth the price since i finally got the 8GB of memory that solved any issues i was facing due to low memory with my two previous 4GB models. It really rocks and for me that has a 1080p screen it can play absolutely everything just fine and even in high detail. At 1080p you can even get some ray tracing going if you play with the settings. I plan to stick with my screen for another 2-3 years at least(it's a good screen with 144HZ refresh rate as well), i think being 1080p isn't a big problem it looks quite fine(yes i have seen higher resolution screens, i wasn't blown away by the difference) and with that it means the little RX6600 probably has a good 2-3 years of life in it as well. If you calculate frame per euro etc then it is a value king type of card. The only regret is that it isn't plug and play as my previous cards and needs more power.

[@prosecanlik4296]

I also have the Sapphire version of this GPU. No, this ASUS Dual version is better (not because performance, but because of better cooling). Sapphire model has terrible fans that can get crazy loud (push it to the 120W PL and you'll see), meanwhile the ASUS Dual model has bigger fans, allowing it to perform better and also quieter. I only bought Sapphire model because it was cheaper than the ASUS model

I love that it's so quiet and always under 60c in my tropical country when gaming. it was the same price as the Sapphire, XFX & Asrock. the ASUS is definitely the best model of 6600 coz of the way it's cooling design. My friend got the 3060 12gb KO ASUS too. it's also quiet when the fans are on. I had a 2060 Gigabyte before this and it was so loud, I replaced it with this coz of the power savings long term and near silence when gaming.

8 GB is plenty for 1080p and higher settings in games from before 2023, it's the higher settings, specifically 1440p ultra settings or 4k medium that you really need more than 8. At entry level, 8 GB will get you everything you need for some quality gaming at 1080p.

Hi ! Honest review here. I haved in 2022 to avril 2024 the rx6600xt and I was really in love with this GPU, perfect for 1080p60 ultra gaming on PC, sometimes you can push to 1440p60 high with FSR, it work great, ultra very hyper efficient with undervolting and underclocking (I never see a GPU more efficient than this 6600xt ! Really amazing ! Consume less than the 6600 for better performance with UV/UD ! I recommand it !) ... if prices difference is not big : GO TO RX6600XT (or his refresh rx6650xt !). The right choice for 1080p60 ultra gaming today. (But rx6600 at 200 euro or less in second market can be a great deal too for budget PC gaming, better than a old GTX1060 or something like that ! The rx6600 can be compare to GTX1080/1080TI but with a consumption cut by twice or more !). Now I play on the incredible rx6800 ! The queen of the rx6000 Amd's series ! Today his prices for his performance are so great ! The real big deal today is the rx6800 for serious gaming on PC for under 400 euro ! Just amazing ! This card made a better job than newest gpu like 4060TI or 7700xt !

I think this is the card I'll get to upgrade my sons PC from the RX480 which has been great but I'll probably use that in another basic build now. Thinking of pairing the RX 6600 with a Ryzen 5 5500 for a balance of budget and performance (he only really needs 1080P for now, doesn't have a monitor that can do more than that at 60Hz). The only thing I'm still considering is that my son wants to also potentially stream and record KZbin vids of him gaming, so i was also considering a NVidia 3050 or 3060 so he can use the NVENC chip to handle the streaming/encoding part , but interested to get your view on that.

Is this way better than rtx 3050?

[@TechLabUK]

Yeah, a lot.

[@Vayylinn]

Hey can I pair this card with R7 5700x for good gaming

[@BlackIssac77]

yes

[@fenio81]

Nice review and tests, but the music is super irritating.

[@Daotha67]

I just bought this beast today. was that, or, the 3050. Will arrive tomorrow. Was questioning it. No doubt it was the best decision. Thanks for the video. And also after looking at the 3050 vs this card, yeah, the 3050 is just like a 1060, trash. LOL.

3050 is a good card in 2014

[@mikaela43523]

the 6600 got playable frame rate on every game on 1440p high, would you consider the 6600 a 1440p high settings gpu then

[@tomthomas3499]

​@@mikaela43523Game released prior to 2023 can run 1440p high, but the more recent release won't, titles like Alan wake2, Avatar, many UE5 games will struggle at 1080p max settings let alone 1440p high, if you intent on using it strictly at 1440p i suggest get 6700xt instead, it's cheap and equipped with 12gb vram, or save up a bit to get 6800 non xt, you can find them below $400 lately and it is just 10-15% slower than 4070 non super, above that better to jump to new gen like 4070s or 7800xt.

[@ZackSNetwork]

@@mikaela43523No the RX 6600 is a budget 1080p GPU. If you want 1440p I recommend a RX 6800. Which can sell on Amazon for $399.99.

Hell I'm running a 1660 ti and 9300h. I still play everygame out very well at 1080p, some even at 1440p. If I can, I know the 6600 can!

[@wowzer4919]

I did take the laptop apart, and I have it upside down with a theater system heatsink sitting on both the gpu and cpu. Which is keeping it cool. It's zip tied around my desk for mounting preasure. (not a lie, this is actually how it is lol)

[@SerdceDanko]

Im very satisfied with this card, don't plan to upgrade till RDNA 5

[@kleanthispapadopoulos3748]

u will get vram issues soon tho

[@mikaela43523]

well it achieves playable frame rate on 1440p high as well, so is this gpu then considered a 1440p high settings gpu?

[@TechLabUK]

Everyone considers every card differently tbh. There are no specific rules to it all which is why I find it strange when people say "This is a 1080p or 1440p card"... Based on what? What frame frames? What settings? What games? and How many games? I personally consider cards like this as 1440p cards as you can easily get 60FPS in 98% of games made but a lot of people watching would kick the crap out of me for saying it lol

[@ZackSNetwork]

I recommend the RX 6800 or at least the RX 6700xt.

I’m still using a 5600xt and only 6gb of ram is kinda a bummer with newer games it still runs everything beautifully to me. Every time I look at upgrading it’s just so much money for not much more performance so I just can’t do it.

[@TechLabUK]

5600xt is still a good GPU tbh and with AMDs FSR technology being properly supported by it inc. FrameGen it will continue on.

I'm about to get a rx 6600 fighter version for 130$, gonna check myself if its worth it

[@TechLabUK]

Seems a good price imo great cards.

[@marksoldier4640]

Why do yall refer back to the 6600? The 6600xt is the sweet spot. Unless the non-xt has taken the place of the 750ti. Is that the case? With the 6600xt, I can play any game at 1440p 130-135fps avg. Granted I don't have but ~12 games.

[@J7T800]

The RX6600 is the new RX580. It offers the best price to performance strictly at 1080p. The average population of gamers is still playing at 1080p. Also, if anyone's shopping fora 1440p card, instead of the 6600XT, why not just bump it up to a 6700XT?

[@ZackSNetwork]

@@J7T800PC gamers will never leave 1080p so the median doesn’t justify the reason.

[@himanshumaurya428]

6600 can also be easily paired with a 450w PSU. And xt versions tend to perform better on PCIE4 but which is not the case with non-xt cards. So many people who are on budget would probably be better buying this card than upgrading other components to actually take benefit of xt cards

[@Ha-or3ht]

I have a budget of 600$ can you recommend me a cpu and gpu?:)

[@TechLabUK]

I don't really know what $ translates to within your market. For us $600 is about £470 which in terms of a full "base unit" means we would be looking at AM4 for the platform and a pre-owned graphics card.
