There's a problem with driver for this card ! What version of driver is fully workable ?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

no, there is no problem with the driver for this card, it has to do with the age of your hardware, windows updates and more. If you would like me to help you, start a new thread, so that I can see this comment, i had to go in the backend to find this comment.

@I LOVE U SO MUCH Thanks my friend, I do appreciate your kind words. You can already see a 6700 on at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5_HmKx7oph0bNE, 6800: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2nQeqZ8fqZka80 but I have not done any recent as they take a lot of work, I am thinking maybe I need a better encoder as well, so I can get more detail in the video but everything comes out of my wallet, so it is rough.

No POST for me after installation, but then changed from straight-thru 8 PIN power cable to multi-drop PCIe cable with a six-pin connector and separate two-pin (to form an eight pin, just from two pieces). That was the trick. All cables came from Corsair RM750e power supply. Working great now. Thanks for the video.

thats a nice upgrade, and thanks so much for your kind words. What is the manufacturer and model number of your power supply?

[@eviljesus-ir5cn]

@@ThisBytesForYou Its a EVGA 500 Bronze. The new cards specs suggested a 500 Watt would be okay. Any thoughts..?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Yes that is the minimum, I would never use the minumum as the hardware you install, aside from the video card may require more. The recommendation is based on a complete system, not just the card, though they don't say what they call is a complete system. Plus a 500 means next time you upgrade it will be more expensive because you have to buy another power supply. I have some 1200 psus for 15; years going at strong, 2 x 1000 going strong for about 4 years and another 1000watts about about 2 years, buy more than you need now and save later.

So, the card itself doesn't have any lighting effects? Like some Sapphire cards have beautiful lighting effects on their branding text. Also, will it be harmful if I use a Corsair CX450 Watts PSU for this? My CPU is the 5600G and the estimated Power consumption of the entire PC is around 300 Watts.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Pulses do not, Nitro's do, both Sapphire cards, but Nitro have the RGB lighting and better cooling that the Pulse's do, and the higher price tag. As for the power supply, the card calls for at least 500Watts. that does not mean it won't work with a 450, but it does mean 450 may not be enough when you get into games that pull more performance. Estimates are nice, but usually unreal.

So I have a Ryzen 3 3200G with Integrated Graphics, and I’m only installing a 6600, not removing a GPU or CPU, so I was just wondering, can I do all the stuff you did before you removed your 3060 after I install my 6600?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

​@@AH-wf5ri they are not, the GPU itself might be since it's made by AMD, but the GPU's clock speeds, memory speeds and individual components are not, each company uses their own BOM (Bill of Material) and that can many times make or break a product as well as the cooling solution (heatsinks, heatsink design, IO plate and fans), not to mention the Trixx application is best when used outside of the gigabyte environment. Trixx does not play well in a gigabyte environment, has issues controlling the RGB lighting (I should have asked what board he had). As for looks, that is subjective.

Monitor - manufacturer and exact model number Redundant I know, but many people forget to enter manufacturer and exact model number 7. Do you have ALL of the PCIE connections plugged in, and not daisy chained or pigtailed, each coming directly from the power supply? 8. Are you running through HDMI, DP, DVI, VGA, any adapters? 9. UEFI in the BIOS from Legacy. If it was set to Legacy, you will need to reinstall windows to get correct support. 10. Disable CSM in the BIOS 11. Installed latest supported chipset driver?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Awesome my friend, happy you nabbed one. About the LED's no, the Pulse series has always been the budget level GPU, meaning no LED's, no funky designs, no overclock, just a perfectly working, slightly above average video card. This is a decent card, especially in times like this.

[@matthewfoxwell5628]

I’m looking to buy one of these over a 2060 since the rx is cheaper but they all say amd cards are bad and run hot is this true ?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

all cards will run hot if your system does not have proper cooling or your ambient temperature is high. The 2060 is a great card, a new series is coming out very soon but the 6600 XT and 6600 are good cards as well. The performance of both will depend on how your maintain your system as well. They are both good cards. I am hoping soon to have a comparative video on 4, stay tuned my friend.

I just got a new sapphire rx 6600 and I want to know if it's normal for the monitor to not detect the gpu since I didn't know I had to manually uninstall the drivers before replacing the old gpu, also I'm unsure of my pci-e power connections I'm upgrading from an R9 270x, ( yeah I know, it's old), it needs two 6-pin connectors and I'm wondering if I need a dedicated 8-pin as the two cables didn't seem to be working and was wondering if it mattered at all. Also great video btw.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

The PCIE cables is where its power from, if they don't work, the card wont work, I highly recommend you get a new power supply, something like this on my amazon affiliate link: geni.us/yycAA, the card requires at least a 500Watt, though I linked up a 600Watt, maybe to give you room to grow, never cheap out on your power supply, I always use at least a 1000Watt, I have had these 3 for about 10 years, never needed to buy another. and thanks for your kind words my friend, so very happy you enjoyed the video.

@@ThisBytesForYou I have a fully modular EVGA SuperNOVA 650 watt gold certified power supply, so I should be good but I think it's the power connectors themselves since they have these extra pair of pins that dangle around and I'd a one wire plug into all the pin connecters to the gpu and it wouldn't get recognized by the monitor even though it is receiving power.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@abyssalknight4081 well, the issue generally occurs with older hardware, motherboard, cpu, etc, being that you had an R9 270, I assume your board and cpu are a little older too, AMD doesnt play well with older hardware. If you followed my guide here on the drivers that should help tons also, using the LATEST HDMI 2.1 standard cable helps tons, this information was provided to my by AMD directly, I didn't believe it myself till I tested it.

Just wondering, is it not easier to uninstall older drivers by going to the device manager, selecting display adaptors and then Uninstall device inside its Properties window?

[@ThisBytesForYou]

No, and it's not you of course but the fact that this still exists is very upsetting. Give that a try, then go back and look in program files, program files x86, programdata, registry, etc, it only gets rid of basic drivers, it doesn't get rid of all of the software that gets installed with that driver install, all the legacy garbage, all the registry entries, etc. it leaves a sloppy mess.

Good video, sorry do you know any method to be able to use 2 monitors at the same time? in my case when installing the drivers if it had video output by DP and when I finish installing it no longer recognized the 2nd monitor and at the end of the installation, now I could only use the graphics via HDMI!

[@ThisBytesForYou]

2 reasons this happens, they is that you are using an older standard HDMI cable, older than HDMI 2.1 (get a new cable, that is HDMI 2.1)) and the refresh rate could be too low. Aside from the cable, if you can get it work, boot into windows, with both monitors plugged in. When in windows, disconnect the HDMI cable, for lets say 30 seconds, then plug it back in. It may reappear and work but AMD likes to set the refresh rate to 59hz, and MANY monitors cannot handle it. So when you plug in your monitor, right click on the background in windows and click "Display Settings", then click "Advanced Display Settings", the monitor that appears first, make sure the refresh rate is 60hz, or if its a higher refresh rate panel, set it to its specified refresh rate, then click apply. After you apply that one, see if you see your other monitor in the drop down at the top of the screen, if you do, select that monitor and adjust the refresh rate, let me know if that helps.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

Sapphire is amazing, when you are saying it heats up too much, you have tested this unit and the Asus in your system? Where are you getting these sources from, 1 resource that tests everything at 1 temperature or various sources?

[@mozydiaz8296]

@@ThisBytesForYou For temperatures there are plenty of benchmarks on youtube like him for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXyQZGWbpNCXaNk where he reaches 80 degrees on "Call of" I believe. and for the comparison with Asus here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKfJdJ2Hgs2Xg9E For the tests I don't have the means to test everything (a GPU is already quite expensive wher I live) so I leave it up to people like you who test the products.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

the temperatures are amazing, I have not tested the Asus cards, but the major issue with any tests especially different tests is you have to know the ambient temperature, like in your house, if your ambient temperature is very high, because you like it hot (some people do) your gpu won't stay cool, my house is usually between 63 and 66°F , 18.8°C, so that helps the card stay cool, but the 6600 doesn't get incredibly hot anyway, the Pulse being the basic 6600 card won't get that hot at all, if you got the Nitro, the temperatures would be lower, they use better materials, same with the different tiers of Asus cards. You have to also compare speeds of GPU and Memory. The other thing is cooling, how many fans do you have in the front, top, rear and bottom of your case and which ones are pulling air in and which ones are venting air out, there are a lot of factors. I will have a video slightly on this come out on Wednesday. Working hard now testing.

[@mozydiaz8296]

@@ThisBytesForYou Exactly the thing with the pulse is that there are too many parameters to take into account, have 2 fans in the front and one in the back ( I'll add one soon). For now that's enough for me since I don't overclock any component and I don't want my case to make as much noise as an airplane engine. I think I'll opt for the Asus (since I have experience with their gpus with my 1650) or maybe the nitro but the prices have to come down a bit more.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@@mozydiaz8296 I think you are putting too much behind it, it seems like you have the trust already behind Asus, not saying they are bad at all, Asus makes NVIDIA and AMD cards, Sapphire ONLY does AMD so, it makes sense for them to make the better card but go for the Asus. If you go for Sapphire and any little issue occurs, you will blame the Sapphire, I hope it works out well for you.

Eagle is just 3fan gimmick, Sapphire put 2 small fans and is very sufficient for rx 6600, card is sillently and cooler.

I do like sapphire cards, but I have never reviewed a Gigabyte card, so I can't comment on the physical card and it's performance aside from the specs. Aside from sufficient it would move have to do with your overall ambient temperature and system cooling.
