AMD Radeon RX 6600XT

 Radeon RX 6600XT a powerful GPU for 1080P Gaming

After creating a come back to the mid-range with its RX 6700 XT GPU, AMD has launched its 1080p flagship, the RX 6600 XT. A successor to the superb and widespread RX 5600 XT card, the new model has significantly a lot of power on faucet with nine.6 teraflops of RDNA two performance, compared to seven.19 teraflops for the last model. Not solely that, however it offers 8GB of GDDR6 RAM, compared to 6GB for its precursor. 

In fact, the RX 6600 XT appears to deliver concerning constant quantity of performance because the RX 5700 XT (9.75 teraflops) and simply slightly but the GPU within the PS5, a minimum of on paper. Since the RX 5700 XT was offered as a 1440p-capable card (and the PS5 will handle 4K), it does not appear a stretch to mention that the new model can a minimum of be good at 1440p recreation. 

However, AMD is promoting this card as a "new customary for 1080p," language that it's up to a one.7 times uplift over the last generation for games like Doom Eternal for 1080p recreation. AMD noted that around two-third of monitors shipped ar still 1080p, therefore that is still the norm for laptop recreation. 

Other specs embody thirty two cypher units (compared to forty on the RX 6700 XT), a 2359 MHz game clock and 160W power consumption with one eight pin power connexion. AMD conjointly touts custom options like Radeon Boost for higher frame rates and Radeon Anti-Lag for improved latency.

The main new feature with the 6000-series GPUs, however, is ray-tracing. That feature permits for higher resolutions (1440p and 4K) whereas still maintaining good frame rates and leaving a lot of realistic pictures. do not expect an excessive amount of from the RX 6600 XT, however, because the RX 6700 XT struggled in ray-tracing tests compared to NVIDIA rivals in our review — and also the RX 6600 XT has lower specs all around. 
Still, 

it's pretty spectacular otherwise for a budget-level 1080p card. We'll presently see a raft of RX 6600 XT models from ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI (above), ASRock et al, with MSRP beginning at $379 and shipping set for August eleventh. Take it as a miracle if you get one at that value, tho' — the RX 5600 XT had a advised retail of $300, however street costs were typically double that and a lot of due to the cryptomining and also the international GPU shortage.
