About the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2021 with a MSRP of $379. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 23) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 6600 XT has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,000 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 256 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 6600 XT includes 2,048 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,968 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,589 MHz. It usually operates at 2,359 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 128 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 32 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 6600 XT occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 160 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 6600 XT has the 55th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 30.09% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 39,051 score and $379 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 103.04. This is the 21st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (16 GB) GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (16 GB) is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2025 with a MSRP of $429. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GB206) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 5060 Ti has 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 5060 Ti includes 4,608 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,407 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,572 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 144 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 144 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 36 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 5060 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1b, DisplayPort 2.1b display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 180 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 5060 Ti has the 35th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 39.61% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 51,400 score and $429 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 119.81. This is the 12th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
