ReviewAMD Radeon RX 6600 Performance Summary vs RDNA1/2, Turing, Ampere (self.hardware)

submitted by Voodoo2-SLi

  • compilation of 8 launch reviews with ~2250 gaming benchmarks at all resolutions
  • only benchmarks at real games compiled, not include any 3DMark & Unigine benchmarks
  • geometric mean in all cases
  • mostly launch reviews with complete adoption of rBAR & SAM were evaluated (exeption: Tom's Hardware)
  • standard performance without ray-tracing and/or DLSS/FSR, extra ray-tracing benchmarks at 1080p
  • stock performance on (usual) reference/FE boards, no overclocking
  • factory oc'ed cards were normalized to reference clocks/perf., but just for the overall performance average
  • performance average is (moderate) weighted in favor of reviews with more benchmarks
  • power consumption for the GPU only, no system power draw
  • for the full results and some more explanations check 3DCenter's launch analysis

Only stand out thing to me is that the 6600 is excellent at 1080p non RT.

High efficiency at 130W that's great improvement by AMD, but as we know it should be priced at $199-$250 as a proper Polaris replacement.

[–]Darksider123 29 points30 points  (0 children)

These would've been the 580/570 replacements in normal times

[–]WildZeroWolf 11 points12 points  (1 child)

The fact AMD thinks the 6600 has any right to go against the 3060 (which is already a rip off at MSRP) says it all really.

[–]iopq 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but look at real prices. A 3060 is like $700 which is closer to 6600 XT street price

[–]BarKnight 7 points8 points  (6 children)

It's still a tad slower than the 3060. Granted you shouldn't have to pay $300+ for a 1080p card in 2021/22. The fact that a 2060 beats it in RT just makes it worse.

[–]HaloLegend98 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Oh yeah I was pointing out that it regularly uses 50W less which is a huge margin. The 3060 is significantly ahead in higher res and RT.

[–]Jeep-Eep -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

Not surprised, nVidia have a gen more experience at the latter, and Ampere is optimized for higher rezes.

[–]capn_hector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ampere didn’t change the RT performance per SM - equivalent cards between ampere and Turing in terms of raster performance have equivalent RT perf.

So yes, while ampere is “technically” a second-gen RT card, the “first gen” implementation would have been just as far ahead. Equally, exactly as far ahead, in fact.

NVIDIA’s first-gen implementation was simply a lot farther ahead of AMD’s first-gen implementation. If nvidia had never released ampere at all, the difference would be the same.

So pretending like NVIDIA being on their second generation is the cause of the difference here is just deceptive.

[–]nanonan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Matching a 2060 on your first raytracing gen is perfectly fine in my eyes.

[–]rainbowdreams0 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Granted you shouldn't have to pay $300+ for a 1080p card in 2021/22.

Member when the GTX 460 1GB was the mainstream 1080p card?

That was 10 years ago, feeling old yet?

[–]Gandalf_witcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that card! A GIGABYTE version of it with a nice cooler. Iirc there was also a 768mb version

[–]ActualWeed 0 points1 point  (3 children)

5600XT uses 105-120W

[–]Voodoo2-SLi[S] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Thats just the ASIC power. Full card use 133-140W.

[–]ActualWeed 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Mine has never reached 130, guess I got lucky on my gpu or smth then.

[–]Voodoo2-SLi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you look. Tools can only report the ASIC power.

[–]Rift_Xuper 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I have to tread carefully with my rx 480.can't even effort to buy above $300, I bought RX 480 when it was $225 ( 2017 ) . all games that I play are on lowest setting with V-sync.

Now for New card , well it's really mess.

[–]Orelha1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fo real. I've being running my Aliexpress 570 undervolted for a good while now. If it dies, I'm beyond fucked. Gonna have to resort to GFW or Xcloud.
