In my review of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, I will share the following points:
- Overview of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT. Ideal resolutions, and graphics settings.
- GPU Engine Specs.
- The games and graphics settings you should expect to play at.
In my review of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, I found that it is a great middle-of-the-road modern graphics card. You can actually play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 / Warzone 2.0 on 4K with ultra graphpics settings. So yeah, that is huge, but not universally the same across all games. Elden Ring for example may struggle on 4K with this GPU.
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT fits in the same neighborhood as NVIDIA’s GeForce 3060 and 3060 Ti, as well as AMD’s RX 6600 and RX 6700. Where the RX 6600 provides maximum graphics performance for 1080P resolution, the RX 6600 XT gets you to the next level in 1440P resolution. If you have time, check out my review of the AMD RX 6600 to learn more about how it compares with the RX 6600 XT.
Overview of the AMD RX 6600 XT
The AMD RX 6600 XT is outfitted with 2.359 GHz clock speed, and 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM. Simply put, you will be able to play all modern games on 1080P resolution and set the graphics settings to the max. 1440P resolution on the other hand will be a little more challenging for some games.
| GPU Engine Specs | |
| Game Frequency (MHz) | 2359 |
| Compute Units | 32 |
| Ray Accelerators | 32 |
| Memory Type | GDDR6 |
| VRAM | 8GB |
Those games include Elden Ring, Far Cry 6, CyberPunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Halo: Infinite to name a few. Starfield will be coming out in 2023 and that is expected to be a graphics-intensive game. I would advise you to look at a higher performance graphics card if you need 1440P or 4K resolution, high graphics quality, and fast performance.
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is a graphics card that will absolutely dominate 1080P resolution, and provide OK to good performance on 1440P resolution, depending on the game.
AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT vs Games in 2022-2023
