Revisiting the RX 6600 in 2024... Still a great budget option? 

I have this exact model almost a year ago for 143 usd and i couldnt be happier playing in 1080p high all of my games. And with fsr3 and other technologies it probably going to have 3 or more years to live

Please put power consumption listed on the overlay next time. I think it's important for people to see how RX6600 is one of the most power efficient cards on the market. I also wanted to see how much your 5800X3D was using in 1440p..

Got the Sapphire version of this little card(best version in my opinion, with metallic backplate and smaller more compact size than the Asus), bought it as an upgrade from a 1650. It was the first card that gave 200 euro for since i only gave 150 for my 1050Ti and even lower for my 1650 but if we count inflation threw the years then i guess it wasn't really that much more expensive than the 1050Ti. Was defintly worth the price since i finally got the 8GB of memory that solved any issues i was facing due to low memory with my two previous 4GB models. It really rocks and for me that has a 1080p screen it can play absolutely everything just fine and even in high detail. At 1080p you can even get some ray tracing going if you play with the settings. I plan to stick with my screen for another 2-3 years at least(it's a good screen with 144HZ refresh rate as well), i think being 1080p isn't a big problem it looks quite fine(yes i have seen higher resolution screens, i wasn't blown away by the difference) and with that it means the little RX6600 probably has a good 2-3 years of life in it as well. If you calculate frame per euro etc then it is a value king type of card. The only regret is that it isn't plug and play as my previous cards and needs more power.

Love this little card, i added it to my 'work' PC during Covid and atm for the last couple of months i have been working on my watercooling setup on my main gaming rig, but this little card and game changers like FG (now also in the last of us), really have meant i need be in no hurry to finish work on my main rig, when that's done, i've been so impressed with the card i'm going to take it and put it in a low power mini itx build

AMD alway new how to make good cheap 128bit GPU, unlike Nvidia..

Bought one to put in an HP prebuilt that originally had a 1050 ti and an i5 8400, only has a 310 watt power supply with one spare 6 pin power cable, bought a 6 to 8 pin converter and gave it a try, been solid for almost a year now, max power draw overclocked is only 210 watts from the wall on my power meter when heavy gaming, entire computer uses less than 50 watts otherwise, i'm blown away how good this card is honestly.

8 GB is plenty for 1080p and higher settings in games from before 2023, it's the higher settings, specifically 1440p ultra settings or 4k medium that you really need more than 8. At entry level, 8 GB will get you everything you need for some quality gaming at 1080p.

I did a build for a family memeber using a xeon and a 6600m back in 2020 the build still works for them till this day

I just ordered a used RX 6650 xt to upgrade my second gaming pc these RDNA 1/ 2 cards becoming the new budget option to replace RX 580s now

Bought it (MSI version) year and half ago, even got Last of us as AMD promo and it had discount of 25% so it was something around 200euros in Portugal and still happy. Thanks for vid, all the best.

How is a rx 6600 entry level...even in 2024 its low on the mid range but still is for 1080p. Its quite insane to say its entry level and it can do 1440p as well, on low/med settings it can get decent fps in AAA games and with how insanly unoptimized they are thats a great feat itself.

using the rx 6600 from 2 years , upgraded from gtx 1060 6gb , thebest graphics card i have used till now , no issues plays all the games with good fps , planning to use it for 4 to 5 years more easily

The rx6600 is a great budget card. I just did a $550 budget Mini ITX build with this card. RX6600, Ryzen 5, B550ITX, through in the RAM and storage with a decent 550w power supply and you got a nice and cheap little pc

Really good content mate. Subbed!

I think this is the card I'll get to upgrade my sons PC from the RX480 which has been great but I'll probably use that in another basic build now. Thinking of pairing the RX 6600 with a Ryzen 5 5500 for a balance of budget and performance (he only really needs 1080P for now, doesn't have a monitor that can do more than that at 60Hz). The only thing I'm still considering is that my son wants to also potentially stream and record RU-vid vids of him gaming, so i was also considering a NVidia 3050 or 3060 so he can use the NVENC chip to handle the streaming/encoding part , but interested to get your view on that.

Hi ! Honest review here. I haved in 2022 to avril 2024 the rx6600xt and I was really in love with this GPU, perfect for 1080p60 ultra gaming on PC, sometimes you can push to 1440p60 high with FSR, it work great, ultra very hyper efficient with undervolting and underclocking (I never see a GPU more efficient than this 6600xt ! Really amazing ! Consume less than the 6600 for better performance with UV/UD ! I recommand it !) ... if prices difference is not big : GO TO RX6600XT (or his refresh rx6650xt !). The right choice for 1080p60 ultra gaming today. (But rx6600 at 200 euro or less in second market can be a great deal too for budget PC gaming, better than a old GTX1060 or something like that ! The rx6600 can be compare to GTX1080/1080TI but with a consumption cut by twice or more !). Now I play on the incredible rx6800 ! The queen of the rx6000 Amd's series ! Today his prices for his performance are so great ! The real big deal today is the rx6800 for serious gaming on PC for under 400 euro ! Just amazing ! This card made a better job than newest gpu like 4060TI or 7700xt !

Budget beast, wanted to get sapphire one for good price at the end of december but i was short on money so i missed opportunity to get it, next day card was already sold😢. Got 7600 instead, no regrets though.

Straight to the point. This is why I love your content.

Mate, what kinda bollocks is this costing $250? I bought it for $550 I shit you not. Here, THEY STILL don't go for lower than $390. You guys in the UK have it good man. I'm in Serbia and here the import tax is absolutely atrocious. $700 for a 7700XT, RTX 3060 goes for $450 regularly, RTX 3050s are like $320. It's absolutely shambolic.

I'm running a a700 LE in my personal setup, but I did a build using an RX 6600 for a family member a few months ago and it's working out well for them.

Thanks for this video!! needed this.

just bought yesterday. Im really happy with it

I just bought this beast today. was that, or, the 3050. Will arrive tomorrow. Was questioning it. No doubt it was the best decision. Thanks for the video. And also after looking at the 3050 vs this card, yeah, the 3050 is just like a 1060, trash. LOL.

This is a card I'm looking at for my next build. My focus is more on emulation than modern gaming and I want something that can handle at least up till the 6th or 7th gen..

You need to to test the ASRock ARC Phantom Gaming ARC A770 16gb version. This card does not go over 66C on stock fan curve and performs extremely well.

thank you man was really confused if i shoud buy this or 6600 xt. i am a very casual gamer so i am gonna buy this one. it does the job for me

i got a MSI rx6600xt 2 years ago during the height of the expensive GPU times. paid $880 aud (over 500$ usd). Still excellent value despite this. works great with my ryzen 5600x. it maxes doom 2016 @ 170FPS 1440p

0:19 wow thats impressive for 2001

mine is Asrock Challenger D, bought after proof of work mining ended at that time the first gpu to went down in price compared to other brands, including the same 6600s even the 3050 was more expensive than the most expensive 6600

I got the same rx 6600(asus dual). I happen to think it's the best version of the chipset in so many ways. 😆

This is my first graphics card. Never had anything this powerful before!

Hell I'm running a 1660 ti and 9300h. I still play everygame out very well at 1080p, some even at 1440p. If I can, I know the 6600 can!

Can you stream with that gpu?

Is it good for editing (1080p) and recording games for youtube

I've always liked the RX 6600 personally, always reasonably priced and outperformed the Nvidia RTX 3050 rival by some way too

I have a 5600G and using the same for around a couple of years, and now I want to pair RX 6600 with it. Do you think it can run GTA VI once it arrives? I know it's hard to predict, but if you have to guess!

Huh. Unusual that I see the exact card I own in one of these types of videos. :) [just got my ASUS Dual RX 6600 three days ago, replacing my ASRock Challenger ITX RX 6400, so mainly looking around at benchmark videos to find inspiration on what to wishlist for the Steam summer sale next month :P]

The 6000 series lineup was really solid. I don't know what happened with the 7000 series, but it felt a bit underwhelming. The RX 7800 and up were good value, but the lower you went down, the more it makes you want to stick to last gen. It's like they copied Nvidia's strategy on funneling the most performance increases on the top end and leaving out too little for too much on the lower tiers.

Just picked up the itx version for 160 for my 2nd daughters build. Not sure if to pair with AM5 ( i have spare DDR5 RAM) or AM4 like my older daughter has with 7600.

Thing is in 2024, Nvidia 3060 and 4060 pricing is ridiculous and even though when launched the 6600 got a bad review, today, all things considered, it is an okay card.

hey Techlabuk. can you do a similar video for rtx 2060 super please? i have using one for last 9 months, it's very underrated.

This looks incredible. Im going for this for my first ever pc

I have the 3 fan gigabyte version. I know people don't like them, but mines never went over 40C, so im happy with it

5600x, MSI RX6600. Still runs great.

In my country the cheapest one is around 230 USD, so I got a Soyo rx6600m (chinese brand) at just 150 (christmas sale of 2023), flashed it to a normal rx6600 and it performs amazing 😎 it's perfect for what I need.. much better than the gtx 1650 I bought for 340 USD back in 2021 🤡

The 6600 non XT is basically the rx 570 of recent times (except it only uses 100 watts ish when tweaked a bit.)

why on msi afterburner is written gpu power 100watt like max watt and card is 132 W?

I cant see nothing on msi overlay, it's so tiny. You should make FPS big for us to see.

I’m still using a 5600xt and only 6gb of ram is kinda a bummer with newer games it still runs everything beautifully to me. Every time I look at upgrading it’s just so much money for not much more performance so I just can’t do it.

hi, there is many brand and model for RX 6600 and RTX 4060 from XFX, MSI, ASUS etc, which brand/model is the best one for those 2 GPU?

Hey can I pair this card with R7 5700x for good gaming

I bought a RX 6600 Eagle, hopefully it does well with 1080p for gaming

I have 2 of this and its really a great budget option

I'm thinking of buying this today the asus version, how it'll pair up with amd ryzen 5 3600x ?

I have 1080p monitor what do you think is this GPU good for it??😅

Can you test this with a PCIe 3 GPU?

Mate whent hey came out they were like 700 AUD which is like 380 USD. I got one on the weekend for $279 AUD.

Nice review and tests, but the music is super irritating.

Question is rx 6600 better than Colorful iGame RTX 2060 Ultra W OC 12gb?

Its a gen 4 x8 so it still goes in the top slot right? mine is gen 4 x16

I'm about to get a rx 6600 fighter version for 130$, gonna check myself if its worth it

are those results on native or with upscale?

Will this card be good with ryzen 5 5500 and 16gb ram on b450 mobo ?

Is it good for video editing?

A year ago I replaced my old RX 5700 for GPRO X080 Mining edition of RX 6700 cost me 10 euro more :)

With FSR On You Can Actually Play At 4k 🤔 While Gaming At 4k You Can Set FSR To Performance (FSR Looks Good At 4k )

I'm grateful I got this card for 100 bucks and no issue warzone 3 fps 100 with 1080p I'm happy with it. Model is Hellhound edition.

Mine is the Asrock Challenged. Too long, too tall, not the fastest, not the quietest, but it gets the job done.

Im very satisfied with this card, don't plan to upgrade till RDNA 5

We have to be honest, for the new generation of games it is no longer recommended. I have this card and it is the first one I bought, I am very happy with it because I can finally play the video games from past generations that I always wanted to play, because back then I didn't have money for consoles, much less for a computer. So if anyone reads this comment and identifies with my situation, I highly recommend this card.

I have XFX RX 6600 mated with a AMD 5800X with 32 g ram

Why do yall refer back to the 6600? The 6600xt is the sweet spot. Unless the non-xt has taken the place of the 750ti. Is that the case? With the 6600xt, I can play any game at 1440p 130-135fps avg. Granted I don't have but ~12 games.

Awesome card got me through the gpu cypto mining wilderness of 2021-2022

I have the 6750 XT 6000 series absolutely killed it.

Is this card a good upgrade for Ryzen 5 5600g to play games?

I was upgrade to this card at the gpu shortet i was bought the rx 6500 xt ,i5 12400, 16 gb ram. And yesterday i buy the rx 6600 for 140 €

Please please get a new mic or use AI to get rid of the distortion/echo

well it achieves playable frame rate on 1440p high as well, so is this gpu then considered a 1440p high settings gpu?

Huh... When I'm sitting on my RX 6650XT with the R7-1700X on a x370 board, I get around 50-60 FPS in CB2077. I look forward to installing my new mobo and new CPU. x570 + R7-5700x 20-25 FPS boost, by the looks of it.

I got mines new last year for $150

I have a powercolour RX6600 and it feels like my games don't look remotely as good as this. I have the latest drivers installed but I don't have the AMD software downloaded

Is this a good upgrade from rx 570? But in a b450 mobo.

Find a almost none used pc in my town with this card for 200 dollar to day. Looks like i made a great deal!

Does it work well for HELLDIVERS 2?

thank you in advance, that is my dream gpu❤

I have a budget of 600$ can you recommend me a cpu and gpu?:)

Do you suggest me it buying it?

Is this way better than rtx 3050?

the card has also frame generation

Son has a 6600xt and it’s still running his games at perfectly acceptable frame rates.

i have this

I like this design of Asus model

Can i pair this gpu with my i5 10400 and b460m?

Nope. The ASrock Phantom Gaming Arc A770 with the latest Intel drivers is the best budget option with hardware specs that rival or beat an RTX 4080. Software on this card is really good right now, and will only get better, but I can play Halo Infinite in 180 FPS on my 180 Hz gaming monitor.

Great card for being released in 2001

almost buy 3050 for $50 more in 2022 lucky i heard this card!

When you say" revisiting 6600 card in 2024" it's sound like you would speak of 7870 from 2012...lol

#andstill in ‘24

0:18 did he jast sai 2001

Awesome card at a time where gpus are expensive
