The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is an absolute 1080p powerhouse, easily able to power the latest games at max settings. However, its proximity to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti makes it hard to recommend for most people.

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is AMD’s most affordable current-generation graphics card, proving to be an excellent choice for gamers who are on a budget and want high-end features such as ray tracing. But it doesn’t quite do enough to fully dethrone the Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti, which offers decent performance gains in some titles, despite only costing a fraction more.

If AMD is able to keep it in stock, the RX 6600 XT will finally let you build that gaming PC you’ve been waiting on, but I’d recommend holding out just a little longer. It performs well at 1080p, but is just too expensive to recommend at $379.

AMD’s new Radeon RX 6600 XT sets its sights on Nvidia at the entry level. If AMD can make enough of these cards, it could become a popular option for those on a budget.
