Sapphire RX 6600 XT Pulse: RTX 3060 is no match in Full HD

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

Radeons RX 6600 XT are the most powerful graphics cards with the small AMD Navi 23 core. The Navi 22 in the RX 6700 XT is naturally better, but it still humbles the GeForce RTX 3060 with ease. However, in making this bold claim, it should be clarified that this dominance only works perfectly under certain circumstances – at lower resolutions without ray-tracing. This graphics card, in short, begs for high-speed monitor gamers with FHD resolutions.

AMD never made it reality despite many asking for it, until now. Hints such a CPU was coming started pouring in last year though. It didn’t arrive with the gaming 9850X3D model in January, but this week, AMD is finally making this long-awaited CPU real.

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

We have recently covered a leak of driver files that revealed the incoming launch of AMD’s improved AI upscaling, FSR 4.1.
