Asus Dual Radeon RX 6600 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card
Let’s start with the skinny on the Radeon RX 6600: AMD is using the Navi 31 XL GPU, this is a cutdown version of the Navi 31 XT GPU that powers the Radeon RX 6600 XT. There’s 8GB of GDDR6 memory with Infinity Cache, while the card finds itself on a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot.
Asus Dual Radeon RX 6600 does well here with the mid-range DUAL Radeon RX 6600, offering a sleek look and dual-fan cooler that keeps the Navi 31 XL GPU nice and cool alongside the 8GB of GDDR6 memory. Just like I said in my review of the ASUS DUAL Radeon RX 6600 XT, the DUAL brand from ASUS focuses on the mainstream gamer.
Asus Dual Radeon RX 6600 has its TUF Gaming, ROG, and ROG STRIX families of graphics cards if you wanted something higher-end but for now we’re going to dive right into the ASUS DUAL Radeon RX 6600.
The RDNA 2 architecture gets spread a little thinner here to make the Radeon RX 6600, with the same 11.1 billion transistors that was used on the Radeon RX 6600 XT. There’s cut down 28 Compute Units here on the RX 6600, compared to 32 Compute Units on the RX 6600 XT while there’s 1792 Stream Processors, down from 2048 Stream Processors.
AMD is still using 32MB of Infinity Cache on the Radeon RX 6600, with the same 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit memory bus and PCIe 4.0 x8 connector. The board power is just 132W, down 28W from the Radeon RX 6600 XT and its 160W TBP. Not too damn bad at all there, AMD.
1080p gaming is where AMD is aiming with the Radeon RX 6600, and when compared against the GeForce RTX 2060, the new RDNA 2-powered Radeon RX 6600 holds its own. We have 79FPS average in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, 142FPS average in Battlefield V, 95FPS average in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, 136FPS average in F1 2021, and 114FPS average in Hitman 3 — not bad at all.
Even in something like Cyberpunk 2077 we have 70FPS average at 1080p on the Radeon RX 6600, and 145FPS average in Resident Evil Village. Very, very nice results there.
Far Cry 6 and DEATHLOOP just launched, with 91FPS average at 1080p in Far Cry 6 on the Radeon RX 6600 and 85FPS average in DEATHLOOP. Once again, that’s not damn bad at all — but do keep in mind, many of these results are with Smart Access Memory enabled.
