The Radeon RX 6600 from AMD is a stripped-down RX 6600 XT, making it the cheapest chip of the Navi generation. At the same time, it is by far the currently fastest card around 500 euros, and thus puts a lot of pressure on the competition from Nvidia. With 8 GB of VRAM, it is well equipped for the latest games in Full HD resolution.
The selection of the RX 6600 is currently comparatively small. In total, there are even fewer than 10 different models on the market. The biggest difference here is the cooling solutions and factory overclocking. The usual suspects of Sapphire and PowerColor are strong here as usual.
As far as gaming performance is concerned, the AMD Radeon RX 6600 ranks just below the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, but costs a lot less and is also more efficient – i.e. consumes less power. Therefore, a good 500-watt power supply is enough to operate an AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics card.
