The likely performance of a Radeon RX 6600, thanks to the Pro W6600

Although we have known about the alleged RX 6600 card for many months, its premiere is still not even on the horizon. However, this did not stop Igor’sLAB from having fun with the corresponding Radeon Pro W6600 model and so we got to know the likely performance of the Radeon RX 6600, a card that was confirmed by PowerColor.

How do I test something that doesn’t exist? Simulation is enough to indicate the likely performance of the Radeon RX 6600

According to unofficial information, the Radeon RX 6600, as weaker than the RX 6600 XT model, will be equipped with the Navi 23 XL graphics core, which will provide it with up to 1792 stream processors with the possibility of reaching 4 or 8 GB of VRAM. According to rumors, the more impressive GDDR6 deck will probably come into play, and that’s why Igor from Igor’sLAB, known in the technological world, has modified the Radeon Pro W6600 model corresponding to this card, overclocking it.

This is not a particularly good way to answer the question of what performance the RX 6600 will offer, but we do not have a better one at the moment. Ultimately, the card intended for the professional market was overclocked to correspond to the probable TDP level of 130 W (finally it consumed about 123 watts in games), which meant raising the base clock to 2331 MHz, Boost clock to 2580 MHz and memory to 16 GB / s.

In tests, it was shown that the likely gaming performance of the Radeon RX 6600 would be about 4% less than the competing GeForce RTX 3060 at 1920 × 1080 resolution, while consuming some 42 watts less power. This energy saving is not a coincidence with the use of PCIe 4.0 × 8, not PCIe 3.0 × 16, as well as the further use of the Infinity Cache. The MSRP price of this card should be between $ 300-330.
