The ONLY Good Value GPU? | RX 6600

[@IcebergTech]

7:15 I was trying out capping Jedi Survivor to 40 FPS in Rivatuner for this capture. As you can see, the frametime graph is rock solid. Highly recommended, especially if you have a monitor with a 120Hz mode!

Another great value gpu is the rtx 2060 super. Similar if not better performance in some games and access to more upscaling modes with dlss and such and is typically a bit cheaper.

I have one, good 1440p card too as long as you play games that developers actually spent time improving the performance of. There is a game called "The Isle" I play often, it's a UE5 game with pretty good looking graphics, I play it at 1440p mostly maxed out settings (other than shadows being on high instead of Epic) I get 60-120 fps depending on where I am on the map.

[@ashce10]

I have one, I think it's basically a safe recommendation to anyone who has a strict budget and doesn't want to risk the used market. It plays every game on the market but it will need some (usually minor) compromises to run the latest titles. I definitely agree that if one is strict budget and wants a new GPU there is no competition truly at this price bracket but this does lead to the hardest question for the 6600 - if you save just around $20-50 you can get a 6650xt and sometimes a 7600 which are both a good bit faster. Still, the entry tier pricing of this card is meant for the most budget minded and it does run every game and usually well, so it is worth praise for that. It's also better than the woeful and more expensive rtx 3050, which is actually love to see you review as I've heard people complain it's a downgrade at times from a 2060 and you're by far my most trusted tech and GPU reviewer.

cant wait for the market in my country to advance from rx 580s...

[@Swattii]

RX 580 is still a really good card in my opinion. Slightly better value than the GTX 1060 BUT they were hard to find during the mining craze.

[@fv101]

@@Swattii brudda i have a 480, had to cheap out 😭😭, in all seriousness, there are more modern nvidia cards, like the 1080ti, but those are still around 300 or more (converted to $).

[@SamBlips]

I was eying the 6600 and 6650 since 2021. I did eventually get the 7600 some months ago but I think I definitely would have loved the jump from 1050Ti to 6600.

[@charlienewman7496]

Don't ever change the music in your videos! The 6600 is a beast for the price!

[@skemmy215]

For those who may be wondering, it handles assetto corsa with full rain and graphics at 60fps

[@Leo-hf9wo]

No hesi for some reason lags on mine I’ll probably have to play in the settings later.

[@grumpybollox7949]

got an 6600XT during the scalper period and I paid a bit more however, its such a great GPU and it serves me well and might be here to stay

[@shadow_force]

Got a sapphire rx 6600 for 190, it plays everything at 1080p high combined with a 10th gen i3 and with fsr it looks good on a 4k tv

[@bhaskaradit]

Still the most efficient card for the price! Really happy with this card.

[@SerdceDanko]

I have RX6600 and this gpu is great, was a very noticeable upgrade over gtx 1060.

[@InfamousAMH]

I just got an RTX 3070 for $280 and I couldn't be happier. The seller actually seems to have refurbished it, and the thing has like one single spot of damage that isn't even noticeable. Came well packaged, too.

[@GraveUypo]

to my this is the current successor to the rx580. although hard to beat the value of an rx5700xt. i bought one of those back in 01/01/20 and while i've only kept it for like a year and a half, if i still had my 1080p uw monitor, it would still be kicking ass. but alas, i got a free upgrade to a 6700xt (bought it for the same absurd price i sold my 5700xt for), so i took it. and then the 6700xt was kinda not that well suited for my new shiny 4k 120hz screen, so i bought a 6900xt. which coil whined like mad and annoyed me non-stop, so i sold it after keeping it for 9 months and bought my current rtx 4080

[@mrskeleton9462]

the appeal of the 6600 for me is that i can just pop it in my current rig and be able to do things like VR and 144 1080p for cheap (currently i got a 1060 3gb a 4790k and a 550w psu, awesome back when i got it, but a bit of a dinosaur now)

[@AKG58Z]

There's something I'm having problem to understand is that increased resolution at medium setting is better or decreased resolution at hight setting? , it seems like you can probably answer this question with an in-depth video. I like your content you somehow make it interesting for me.

[@omegaPhix]

Native resolution always looks best, you aint getting close to that with a lower res and high settings

[@AKG58Z]

@@omegaPhix if you have two monitors from same vendor but different native resolution then what 1080p with high settings or 1440p with medium one's.

[@stefansuch1588]

This video finally makes me excited for when I decide to upgrade from my Ryzen 1600 / GTX 1060 system

[@AstroAvenger]

Got one for $150, was gonna get a 4070, but I realized I don't really need the extra power in the games I play on PC, so I also got a PS5 with the $ I saved.

[@ambstudios4564]

I would love to see a revisit to the RX 6700XT👀

[@stipe1615]

Bought 1 used for 150 euros and its amazing, can run pretty much any game i want at high 1080p 60fps or more

[@littlewillie65]

I've got a very similar setup to the one you used here, so I appreciate the testing -- except I got my RX6600 $184 US with tax from Amazon (Although I've not seen them that low since). So it really is a decent value for a new card.

[@kirilsarov915]

Got that card in the spring this year for £240, it was a great deal then and I can't believe it even got down significantly lower than that. For this price at the current market it is a steal.

[@ImperialFool]

I got an a770 for 250 cad used (bout half the price and some compared to new after tax). Pretty happy with it. It does have some strange behavior sometimes but you get used to it.

[@unclem4626]

Wow, this a well produced video.

[@legacyisanimesh]

Great as always

[@peterharband326]

Went with a 6600xt and a 12100f a year ago and have been happy with it.

[@TheAkustikus]

You didnt mention the one big thing that makes this card even better. It consumes only 120W under full load! Terrible undervolting Performance but man 1080p was never that efficient. Combine that with an i3-13100 and you get an 180W Full load 1080p Monster!

[@saturnv691]

Could you possibly test the arc a580 one day? Its in direct competition with the 6600 as of now

[@45eno]

My two youngest kids have very similar builds. One has a 5800x/6750xt/32gb pushing 1440p 165hz and the other has 5600x/6600xt/32gb pushing 1440p 180hz. I just bought the XFX 6750XT for $200 used with box and with even the plastic still on it. The 6600xt was $128 used back in late 2022. When they play fortnite together in a private creative world his 6750 is darn near twice the performance of the 6600xt. The 6700xt and 6750xt seem to be the best values as I also see plenty of games using well over 8gb vram in game.

[@handlmycck]

5600xt (and5700 flashed) one of the last things to hit all 3. its gonna be 4 years soon since i got it at launch. my 3600 failed miserably already, but got a deal on 7600x and its going to keep this card alive for a long time with all the new bells and whistles not available on 3k ryzen/b450.

[@agustiarfalahi7285]

In Indonesia, you can get 6600 xt in secondhand market for just roughly $10 more than 6600, it is a better deal right? ($158 vs $171)

[@matthijsvandeweerd1415]

Glad my card is still kicking! :D

[@rafabrett6978]

thanks for this video, recently a bought this as my first gpu in the used market for 143 usd, i was targating mainly 1080p gaming at a minimum of 60 fps, so far so good

[@Phoschan]

I have the exact RX 6600 XFX and I'm glad I have it!

[@SirBrucie]

Same

[@lagginswag]

Snagged a red devil 5700xt for 135+ shipping/tax. Been solid so far 🤞

[@darthwiizius]

I love budget and mid-range cards because let's face it that's where most of us game. A card like a 6600, or my near identically performing 2060S, can give you 95% of the gaming of top cards, play everything apart from a handful of -shittily optimised- demanding modern games like a dream and doesn't require you to flog a kidney to be able to buy one, and doesn't require a small fission reactor to power it. This 6600 only comes with a recommendation for a 300W PSU making it a great choice for slapping into a pre-built or just a really focussed budget build.

[@Grayest_Fox]

That's is cope. High end cards are affordable in the used market

[@darthwiizius]

@@Grayest_Fox Yeah when newer mid-tier cards come out with similar or greater performance at half the power consumption. I can pick up 2080tis for a little under the price of used 3070s but it doesn't mean I'll buy one. If I needed a space heater I'd consider it, two birds one stone like, but I have central heating so I don't need to.
