or indigo renderer either where even the more expensive xt model is thoroughly stopped man remember when AMD had productivity on lockdown power consumption does bring good news for AMD though as the rx 6600 draws a peak of about 188 watts throughout all the testing and comes in comfortably below the power draw of the rtx 3060. for similar gaming performance that ain't bad it's worth keeping in mind that neither NVIDIA nor AMD have first party cards for these gpus so thermal performance should be taken with a green of salt particularly given the overbuilt cooler on our ASUS rtx 3060. still in a closed test bench our dual fan xfx 6600 doesn't do too bad comfortably sitting around the 65 degree mark where like the other cards it maintains its peak core frequency pretty well throughout the run that brings up an interesting question if this is the same physical silicon as the rtx 6600 xt can we push the power limit and core clocks to close the gap well we can match the core clocks but with fewer compute units we'd have to push it much further in order to come close to matching the xt's performance there does seem to be a lot of headroom baked into these cards largely thanks to their aggressively low power target and low wattage requirements that suggests that AMD is targeting system integrators and other power conscious folks by leveraging rdna 2's impressive performance scaling of course your mileage may vary greatly depending on the card you get still is the rx 6600 even remotely worth it for yet another 1080p max settings graphics card only if you thought the rtx 3060 was worth it which is probably a big fat no at 329 the rx 6600 is steadfastly keeping with the pattern of matching the rtx 3060 for better or worse we'll have affiliate links for these cards below in case you actually want to buy them but realistically you probably won't until prices come back down to earth if however we assume that we don't live in the real world and consider it solely based on the msrp you have to ask yourself some questions do you want better ray tracing performance do you want better productivity performance then maybe you should look at NVIDIA but if you just want to play games then the rx 6600 is a good fit for AMD fans or say Linux gamers who enjoy an open source driver compared to NVIDIA's proprietary blob get subscribed by the way because Linus and luke are doing a Linux challenge where they actually run it on their home pcs and you don't want to miss that i know i don't of course these msrps are well above the 200 price point this level of hardware commanded a few short years ago we've already discussed at length why this is happening so i won't repeat myself here other than to say yeah it sucks were it me buying a GPU in the real world today i would go with a used higher end previous gen card you can actually find rtx 2080s going for as much as 30 60s on the street which is probably what the rx 6600 will go for once it sells through even better if you don't care about ray tracing or productivity gtx 1080 tis are sometimes going for even less than that neither is actually a good deal in an objective sense but you've got to take what you can get in this post-apocalyptic wasteland of a chip shortage that we found ourselves in but you don't have to settle for bad segways to sponsors like MSI thanks to MSI for sponsoring today's video MSI's spatium m470 NVMe SSD has a sequential read of up to 5 000 megabytes per second and write speeds of up to 4 400 megabytes per second you can do that up to 3 300 terabytes of written data they run on a four lane pci express gen 4 interface with built-in data security and error correction capabilities you can get them in one terabyte or two terabyte capacities in the m.2 2280 form factor and they've got a five year warranty learn more today at the link below thanks for watching guys if you're feeling particularly frugal go check out our recent video on whether four cores is still enough in 2021 maybe we should do one for older gpus too let us know in the comments below actually i think we did one recently but it's kind of changing now that Windows 11 is out"}
