Radeon RX 6600, here are the first custom cards
Radeon RX 6600
In recent weeks we have repeatedly told you about the imminent arrival on the market of a new card by AMD, or the RX 6600, which will be the reference GPU for the medium-low range of the Sunnyvale house. Previous rumors circulating on the net saw a card equipped with 1792 Stream Processor (against 2048 of the XT version) and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory at 16 Gbps, thus presenting a product aimed at the 1080p gaming market. All accompanied by the presence of 28 Computer Units with a bandwidth of 256 GB / s.According to what reported by Videocardz.com, the first images of the custom models based on this new GPU have appeared on the net. The site displays XFX, ASRock and PowerColor branded VGAs. By carefully analyzing the photos, you can see how the new cards will have the same design and form factor as their versions based on the RX 6600 XT.

As for PowerColor and ASRock, the two companies will both release two customizations of the new RX 6600. PowerColor will present two models, renamed "Hellhound" and "Fighter", whose design is practically identical to that of the XT models, with a cooling to 2 slots and a single 8-pin power connector.
ASRock will release two variants belonging to the Challenger series, which will differ only in the cooling system. The Challenger ITX version, despite being based on the same PCB and backplate as the D (Dual Fan) version, features a single fan dissipation system, which as the name suggests will be ideal for ITX case configurations.

On Amazon you will find the new mid-range APU from AMD, the Ryzen 5 5600G, excellent processor with Vega 7 iGPU, ideal for unpretentious gaming.
AMD’s RX 6600 non-XT GPU specifications and performance numbers leaked online
Courtesy of Videocardz we now have the official specifications and performance numbers of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 Non-XT graphics card. They were able to get access to the reviewer’s guide before NDA which lists down the entire specifications along with performance comparisons against the 6600 XT and the RTX 3060.
As we know AMD’s Radeon RX 6600 Non-XT is the latest and most probably the last entry in the Radeon RX 6000 series family. It will replace the Radeon RX 5600 and will be powered by the RDNA 2 core architecture.
Coming to the specifications of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 graphics card, we know that it will feature the Navi 23 XL GPU that is going to feature 28 Compute Units or 1792 stream processors.
The card will also rock 32 MB Infinity Cache and will be supported by up to 8 GB GDDR6 memory capacity running across a 128-bit wide bus interface. The core clocks will be maintained at 2044 MHz game and 2491 MHz boost, but the 8 GB of memory might pose trouble as NVIDIA has just been reported to ditch 8 GB variants and focus on more powerful variants offering higher performance.
According to rumors, we can also expect the graphics cards to feature 30 MH/s in the Ethereum mining, and in terms of synthetic performance, the card scores 7805 points in the 3DMark Time Spy graphics test.
AMD Radeon RX 6600 series is a premium 1080p gaming solution hence the company will be launching the card for $379 US so we can expect a price of around $299-$329 US for the non-XT variant.

when the performance of the AMD RX 6600 graphics card is compared against the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, it shows that the AMD Radeon RX 6600 is on par with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060.
in terms of raytracing, however, AMD’s offering is 13% slower than the GeForce RTX 3060 and only manages a lead in F1 2021 which favors AMD cards. The system used featured the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X CPU with SAM enabled so performance results with Intel systems will vary a bit.
AMD is expected to launch its card on 13th October along with the official reviews so, let’s wait for some additional details in the coming week.
