That difference is likely on the back of clock speed, which will drop your frame rate. The RX 6600 should be about 15% below the XT model, but my testing shows a gap closer to 20%. They both come with 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, though the RX 6600 features lower clock speeds overall. It features 12% fewer compute units than the RX 6600 XT for a 13% drop in price, but otherwise the cards are very similar. The RX 6600 is the weakest of AMD’s RDNA 2 lineup. The PowerColor Hellhound goes a little further with LED fans, but most manufacturers stuck with a traditional black, dual-fan design. For the most part, though, AIBs didn’t go crazy with their designs. Looking through photos of launch models provided by AMD, I’m a fan of the Gigabyte Eagle and XFX Swift. The RX 6600 is less than the price of a lot of monitors, though, so this is probably an edge case. I would’ve preferred a third DisplayPort connection over the second HDMI - even with HDMI 2.1 increasing refresh rates, it makes sense to have three of one connection type for triple-monitor setups instead of splitting them. Still, you have plenty of options for AIB models, even if they’re more for looks than practical differences.įor ports, the Gigabyte Eagle comes with two DisplayPort 1.4a connections and two HDMI 2.1 connections. ASRock was able to squeeze the card into a single-fan design, and I don’t think it will struggle with heat too much. As I’ll dig into in the next section, the RX 6600 only has a board power of 132 watts, and it doesn’t get too hot under load.
The three fans are just for aesthetic points, though.
Although one of the longer models available at 11 inches, the Eagle still adheres to the dual-slot design of the other AIB models. The shell is finished with a matte coating, and the card looked excellent displayed inside my Lian Li PC-011 Dynamic. From single-fan to triple-fan designs, there’s no shortage of cards to choose from.ĪMD sent me the triple-fan Gigabyte Eagle, which looks and feels a lot more impressive than the RX 6600 has any right to. Instead, you’ll only be able to buy add-in board partner (AIB) models - and AIBs have spoiled us with options. Just like the RX 6600 XT, AMD isn’t releasing a reference model for the RX 6600. And with features like better ray tracing and A.I.-assisted upscaling on Nvidia cards, the RX 6600 is a tough sell. Once the dust has settled on the shortage, however, you could be left with a card that underperforms compared to the competition.
You’ll likely be able to buy the RX 6600 for less than the Nvidia RTX 3060, which is the card AMD’s latest release directly competes with. The list price is higher than it should be, but the secondhand market generally prices Nvidia cards higher.

It’s a petite card squarely targeting 1080p gamers, and based on my testing, it hits that mark well enough.
