Verdict
Our verdict on the RX 6600 XT
A competent 1080p gaming card with RDNA 2 features, but its 8GB VRAM is already a bottleneck.
Get it if you want a reliable 1080p card that runs cool and quiet, and skips ray tracing in demanding games. Skip it if you need more VRAM for heavier workloads or plan to play at higher resolutions.
Buy it if…
- You want 1080p high-refresh gaming without breaking the bank.
- You need a compact, power-efficient upgrade for an older PC.
- You play esports titles and want high settings at smooth frames.
