Got the card. Seems fine. Maybe louder than some, but ok for a budget two fan like this. Fan controls seems to have two modes: whisper-quiet and turbojet.

Preforms around a GTX 1080/RTX 3060 (edit: at 1080p). Loses on ray-tracing performance and lack of DLSS as it is a superior and more established technology than FSR.

Good price for performance. This performs slightly worse than the 3060 but is priced $55 lower than the 3060 MSRP (more like $100+ lower than real world 3060 prices).

What metric are you using to say this performs like an rtx 3060? They are priced sorta similarly but the rtx has much better performance using the g3d benchmark. This card is still a really great value for the performance so I think you were smart picking it up anyway.

I think they must be thinking about the XT (even as the xt performs slightly better) as this one is slower than a 3060. But ya, in this segment where RT is not really as much of a thing and prices being what they are, either one would be a better purchase than a 3060.

Real benchmarks:

https://www.techspot.com/review/2...n-rx-6600/

https://www.tomshardware.com/revi...view-xfx/3

The RX 6600 is ~2-5% slower than the RX 3060 depending on settings at 1080p. This gets worse as you go higher up in resolution to where the 6600 XT and 3060 are tied.

Depends at what resolution really... At 1080p, the 3060 and 6600 are very close (see above reviews). NAVI 23 bumps up against memory and PCIe bandwidth limitations on the designs which hinders scaling at higher resolutions.

The 6600 XT is worth almost precisely 15% more than the 6600.

If you look at the Tom's review for the RTX 3050, that card with ray tracing and DLSS manages some reasonable frame rates, I wouldn't say it's not a consideration at this price point, but somewhat niche still.

Seeing a lot of these AMD Gift bundles being auto-applied, does anyone know if that affects the return policy on cards? Haven't shopped there in a while but iirc bundles are only returnable as the whole bundle, can't keep some parts, and the gift seems like a non-returnable digital item lol.
