The company minimally improves its Radeon RX 6600 XT and introduces a graphics card in the midst of a supply shortage.
The chip and graphics card landscape is altered, but that’s not stopping AMD from surprise unveiling its latest GPU: a Radeon RX 6600 which slightly refocuses some aspects already studied by the company. A economic option that will allow for a good gaming experience, with configurations that go as far as reproducing the 1080p without any problem.

Moving on to its specifications, the company has opened a cheaper window compared to its previous Radeon RX 6600 XT, which, let’s remember, had specs that allowed it to run most games at max settings, but without ray-tracingwhich left it behind other options on the market such as the Nvidia RTX 2060 Ti.
There’s a 15% jump in performance between the 6600 and 6600 XT.Back to the RX 6600, this GPU features 28 compute units, frequency of 2044 MHz, as well as a boost of 2491 MHz, 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM with 32 Mb of cache and a power consumption of 132 watts, which, overall, is only marginally different from the 6600 XT. In terms of performance, AMD claims that there are. a 15% jump between the two GPUs and adds that it moves away from a 23% of the performance of Nvidia’s RTX 2060, as it makes use of Smart Access Memory.
As expected, the new Radeon RX 6600 supports. some classic systems of AMD GPUs such as Radeon Boost or FSR. In terms of gaming performance, The Verge confirms that the graphics card runs Far Cry 6 at 91 FPS and Deathloop at an average of 100 FPS at maximum detail levels, something that compares to the 120 FPS achieved in the same game with the 6600 XT.

After this overview of the Radeon RX 6600, it appears that AMD wants to implement a GPU of its own that will run most games at an excellent levelbut without reaching masterful configurations as other graphics cards on the market manage to do. However, this is in addition to its economical pricemaking it a viable option both for the gaming experience and for our pockets.
