With 9.6 TFlops of RDNA 2 performance, it needs to take care of 1440p gaming, too.
After making a statement to the mid-range with its RX 6700 XT GPU, AMD has introduced its 1080p flagship, the RX 6600 XT. A successor to the excellent and preferred RX 5600 XT card, the new version has significantly more power at hand with 9.6 teraflops of RDNA 2 performance, compared to 7.19 teraflops for the last model. Not just that, yet it uses 8GB of GDDR6 RAM, contrasted to 6GB for its precursor.
The RX 6600 XT appears to provide the same amount of performance as the RX 5700 XT (9.75 teraflops) and just somewhat less than the GPU in the PS5 theoretically. Considering that the RX 5700 XT was used as a 1440p card (and the PS5 can handle 4K), it doesn’t look like a stretch to state that the brand-new version will be suitable for 1440p gaming.
AMD is marketing this card as a “brand-new standard for 1080p,” claiming that it has up to a 1.7 times improvement over the last generation for games like Doom for 1080p gaming. AMD remarked that around two-third of monitors shipped is still 1080p, so that’s still the standard for COMPUTER video gaming.
Various other specs include 32 calculated units (compared to 40 on the RX 6700 XT GPU), a 2359 MHz game clock, and 160W power unit consumption with a solitary eight-pin power adapter. AMD likewise promotes custom functions like Radeon Increase for more excellent structure rates and Radeon Anti-Lag for enhanced latency.
The primary new feature with the 6000-series GPUs, nonetheless, is ray-tracing. That feature enables greater resolutions (1440p and 4K) while still keeping reasonable framework prices and permitting more practical photos. Don’t expect way too much from the RX 6600 XT, however, as the RX 6700 XT had a hard time in ray-tracing tests compared to NVIDIA opponents in our testimonial– as well as the RX 6600 XT has lower specs throughout.
Still, it looks pretty outstanding or else for a budget-level 1080p card. We’ll quickly see rowing of RX 6600 XT models from ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI (above), ASRock and others, with MSRP starting at $379 as well as shipping collection for August 11th. Take it as a wonder if you obtain one at that rate. However– the RX 5600 XT had a recommended retail of $300; however, street prices were usually double that and much more thanks to the crypto mining and the international GPU lack.
