GPUs Reviews

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 provides all the RTX features at a theoretically lower price, though we suspect it will sell for far more than than $249 MSRP for quite a while.

AMD's Radeon RX 6500 XT comes with a theoretical price point of $199 and includes all the RDNA2 architectural goodness, but AMD may have gone a bit too far cutting features and specs.

Quad-slot cooling with massive fans

Eight months later

The RX 6600 brings AMD's RDNA2 architecture to a broader mainstream audience. The paper specs and pricing look good. Hopefully retail pricing doesn't change too much.

The ASRock RX 6900 XT Formula packs a massive cooler and plenty of power, with modest bling and performance that matches the fastest GPUs around — at least until you turn on ray tracing.

Extreme performance and lots of RGB

The Gigabyte RX 6600 XT Eagle effectively matches the performance of other cards using Navi 23, but the heatsink and fans leave us wanting something better.

The Sapphire RX 6600 XT Pulse performs just as well as other cards and runs cool and quiet. It eschews bling in favor of a lower starting price, though finding one in stock remains difficult.

We put the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT through a full spate of gaming, power and thermal tests.
