AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
The Radeon RX 6600 XT is as close as it gets to an RX 5700 XT in terms of pricing and performance, with the addition of ray tracing and DirectX 12 Ultimate support. The only good thing I can say about the Radeon RX 6600 XT is that it sips power, and due to the lower demand you should be able to buy it.

Obviously, being stuck on their 14nm process for what seems like an infinite amount of pluses, Intel's progress over the years has been slower than expected. In a way, it's impressive to see just how much they've been able to squeeze out of the 14nm...

The Radeon RX 6600 XT is AMD's latest mainstream GPU release, expected to land on retailers' shelves a day after this review goes live, that is, immediate availability on August 11. Naturally, the $380 MSRP is a mere indication of the actual street...

Five months on from the launch of the RX 6700 XT, today we have assessed AMD's new RX 6600 XT 8GB GPU. Aimed squarely at 1080p gamers, AMD has priced this card at $379 USD, slotting it between Nvidia's Ampere-based RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti, priced at...

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is AMD’s most affordable current-generation graphics card, proving to be an excellent choice for gamers who are on a budget and want high-end features such as ray tracing. But it doesn’t quite do enough to fully dethrone the Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti, which offers decent performance gains in some titles, despite only costing a fraction more.

If you are interested in 1080p gaming and don’t care much about Ray Tracing, then we would say the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is definitely worth it, and we would recommend it over both the Nvidia RTX 3060 and the RTX 3060 Ti.

If we're talking MSRPs, however, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is technically only $20 more (MSRP $399) and represents a big step up in performance. Of course, they're selling for ~$800 street prices at the moment, so the MSRP conversation is somewhat moot. Regardless, if you're itching for a new GPU for a mainstream build today and the new Radeon RX 6600 XT fits your budget, it should be on your short list of considerations.

With the exception of ray tracing performance, AMD is now competing with Nvidia both in entry-level GPUs and at the $599 price point. There are plenty of gaps elsewhere in AMD’s lineup, but the $379 RX 6600 XT fills an interesting one between the $329 RTX 3060 and the $399 RTX 3060 Ti. If you’re able to spend the extra $20 on an RTX 3060 Ti (if it’s even available at that price) then it will outperform AMD’s entry-level card in the majority of games.
