In raw performance terms it's the quicker GPU, and then you can add the green team's own impressive feature set on top of that. Now, in the desert, with the next station being 500 miles away, you would pay even 10 Dollars (or 100?

One of the keys to the latest architectural design is the way AMD's engineers have been able to push its efficient silicon faster than any GPUs we've seen before. With immersive gaming technologies and support for DirectX® 12 Ultimate, AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 XT graphics cards draw you into the action. Introducing AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 XT graphics cards, featuring the breakthrough AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture.

Of course, we're not just interested in the RX 6600 XT, but also how it stacks up to the competition.

We're not particularly concerned with the comparisons against older GPUs like the GTX 1060 6GB, even though that remains the most popular GPU on the planet according to the Steam Hardware Survey. The RX 6600 XT managed pretty well up to now, but the memory and bandwidth demands of 4K ultra prove to be a bit much. Of course, none of the tests were performed with DLSS enabled, or FidelityFX Super Resolution ( AMD FSR) for that matter, and ray tracing wasn't enabled either.There's no reference design for the desktop card—the RX 6600 XT shown above is merely a 3D render for marketing purposes—but there will be compact single-fan solutions as well as the usual mix of dual- and triple-fan coolers from all the major graphics card partners. Yuka said:I have no idea why AMD made this card this way, but they're definitely trying to angry a lot of people with it. Which almost makes talk about the actual specifications of a particular chip, or even its real-world performance, feel kind of pointless.
