I love how at first it looks like ASRock have cheaped out on the 6600... but then it crushes the benchmarks without even reaching 60 degrees. Good job ASRock engineers, good job!
I used that card for a inexpensive gaming system with a Ryzen 3600. The performance was quite adequate for the price. The guy was happy to play the newest games with decent performance
@@gouaderraed9120 to be honest, I don't think it will make enough of a difference with this card. But maybe someone have better experience with gaming with these cpu and could provide a better answer
I've built a few budget systems using these, terrific card for the money - RX6600 is similar to a 2060 Super or 2070. For a budget build it blows the 1660Ti out of the water, it's also faster than a 1080 while using much less power. I paired one with an older i7-6800k, along with a Chinese x99 motherboard and it played almost everything at 1080p/60 at Ultra or very high. Could even hold its own at some 1440p as you've demonstrated nicely. It's probably the budget champion of its generation. Good video mate.
Had me eye on this for a long long time but managed to get a 3060ti before I pulled the trigger on one of these. This one, the Challender one, will be flying off the shelves at that price point, the FPS to pound ratio will make it popular for 1080p and even 1440p gaming. Looks nice too !
I actually have this card (replaced my old rx 570). I purchased it for 220$ and it came with "The Calisto Protocol" and "Dead Island 2". This video card plays my over 200 Steam games very well and I am very happy with my purchase. Both games are nice games and the video card is great. New Egg did my straight. I play most at 1440p.
I had asrock 6600XT chalenger D when GPU prices was still crazy, the temperature is really good and that's kinda rare for a basic asrock card (of course taichi model is always good lol)
Looks to be a good entry level card. The price is very good also. They put WAY to much paste on the die. Sorry my OCD is kicking in. Let me clean that up for you. 😄 Great review as always. Take care everyone. Cheers
This, in my country, was the first one that became affordable after mining crash, while the other 6600s were still flying alongside clouds with other gpus.
Great review Mike, it may not be a "looker" or have band width but new, good price and performs well with low power usage and good temps. How would a used 5700xt compare eith no warranty to boot? Thanks for reviewing Mike and Kath🐈👍btw wud pcie gen3 lose much🤔
5700xt is probably the more powerful card, but also uses a lot more power so trade off is there. But also the 5700xt is likely to be cheaper on the used market. tough call really, for a pcie gen 3 system with a CPU not an APU i would probably go 5700xt if the price was right
I was initially considering between RX 6600 Asrock or Sapphire. After searching for information, I found out there's so many complaints bout high temperatures on Sapphire, including my friend.
Thank you, Sir! It's the first time I see this card's tear down, although it's a shame you showed only the board itself and not also the cooling solution.
Low power consumption, low temp, can play most games i like, this card could be the next Rx 580 in it's generation. I just ordered this card online, can't wait to try it once it's here.
rx 6600 is really good card and I'm surprise with how the AsRock Cooling performance the card really quite and handle the temp well even it cheap than other brand Because it same cooler as RX6700 , I compare it with RX6700 nitro that i use it a lot cooler. But the RX 6700 with this same cooler also perform well so no complain I think I really love RX 6600 it really good for budget and can handle any game you throw at it without problem since 60fps is fine with me even i have 144hz monitor
Yeah, looks like ASRock have way overengineered this card. I like this decision, because the ~$200 GPU marked has seriously stagnated, and so people who get this kind of card will probably use it for 5+ years.
i have this one on my amd ryzen 7 5700 g, works pretty good, i sell it for 199 euro. ideal card for occasional gamers like me. love to see your video's Mike, i always check your video's for advice if i need to know something. Grts from belgium ;-)
This card is great for a budget king! As I understand it is quite silent under load right? Also temps seems to be very good. I want to recommend it to a friend but not 100% sure for it. Also if it is possible to make a review to ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB Challenger D OC would be great.
I just bought the Rx 6650XT same version of this card 4 months ago , Passmarked at 19,976 Pts . just last week it started acking funny , still works but its only scoring 11,998 now in Passmark , gone over everything , almost like half the score .... Mayby might have to RMA it see if somethings wrong with it , even tryed different drivers no change :(
how could your asrock RX 6600 temperature be this low?i had the same exact graphics card when gaming it around 69-74 celsius hot spot about 83-95,and i didn't OC
PSU requiraments for the most part are overkill which is fine cause its better than them being lower than needed but even a good 350w psu would be enough since i have a i5 7500 and a 1060 6gb and ive never had power issues with a FSP 350w psu for over 6 years
@@mikesunboxing just shopped for one of my son's friends for a 7 5700X, MOBO, CPU cooler and new case. It was the last day of Tax Free Weekend here yesterday. For him I selected the Gigabyte Gaming X V2 B550, Thermalright Frost cooler. and Cougar Archon 2 case. I will be putting it together for him.
I just plopped in an RX6600 2 weeks ago for $200 (also get Starfield with the purchase) into my HP Z400 workstation with a Xeon X5690 6 core/12 thread 3.47 GHz 24 gigs DDR3. The workstation is from 2010 that originally ran Win7 and this card rips ass on 1080 gaming high settings. Flight Simulator I average 40 FPS and hell that's fine with me! I like the card think it's a great value.
Im saving for a gaming pc at the moment and have my eyes on this card right here and also the 6650xt. The game i really want to play when it releases is gta6, so im contemplating whether i should keep saving and get the 6650xt or just get this one so i can game sooner.
I know this was a long timne ago, but i might purchase an RX6600 to replace an RX590 (which still performs really good but reaches high temps). Is there any difference between vendors in regards of the RX6600? I can get either this Asrock, a Gigabyte RX6600 Eagle with 3 fans or the Saphire Pulse version, which one might be the best one of this GPU? Price difference between them is from 10 to 15 bucks so not much.
Nice review, which one do you think I should choose, to pair it with a ryzen 5 5600? In my country they are at the same price. -RX 6600 Challenger D 8GB or -SWFT 210 RX 6600 Core 8GB
I've got my eye on [Cex] RX6700 10GB for £240, was £260 last week, however it might mean upgrading my PSU, although if do pull the trigger I may try it on my 550w (tier B) there's anecdotal evidence that it may work stock or with a slight under volt.
Aye, 230w defo need a new PSU + I fear UK elecy price increase, even if there isn't a price hike it is something that isn't going down & needs considering now-a-days✌ @@mikesunboxing
Your current PSU will have no problems with 6700 (or an XT) whatsoever. Even AMD's generously overestimated recommendation is for a mere 450W power supply. Everything except CPU and GPU have a negligible power consumption. Not sure where folks get the idea that a midrange PC requires a 800W 80+ Platinum power supply.
You *really* can get away with using lower wattage PSU with this one. Been using it with 350w PSU no problemo. Although my cpu is quite low on power draw as well.
That is one of the key benefits of this graphics card the fact that you can use very very low wattage power supplies if needed to save a little bit of money
Thank you mike. I've been following your content perspective for a while and decided to buy ryzen 5600g as my next gen upgrade cpu. And i am happy. Now onto hunting the next gpu for the new cpu. The 6600 seems so good.

The best value GPU today is the ASRock Phantom Gaming Arc A770 16GB. I have one with the latest drivers and it crushed the RTX 4060 by 3,024 points in 3DMark, and beat the RTX 3060 and 4060 in gaming performance.
Hey Mike.What would you do if you were me? I just got this card right now. It'll be my brand new PC. Got it for 208€ 🙂 What CPU would you get for it? Ryzen 5 5600G ,Ryzen 7 5700G 8x 3.80GHz. The core would be 56€ more (177). Why a G? Just in case and and the 6600 came without a driver. I'm a dumb ass when it comes to software! And the G should work for the start,right? ASRock B450M Pro4 R2.0 is planned.Sure I like to have a X instead of a G. 16MB level 3cache more. I guess you as a nerd don't even think about it,the X is your choice right? I've played 3500hours Medieval Dynasty. That's what I do mostly and I plan to do so further. City Skyline II won't work well now with 16GBRam right? DO I need 32GB ram in FHD? I'm so unsure, how to get a driver put it on a stick and... Were do I put it? I need windows 11 or can I install my windos 7 to get it running and change to Linux mint afterward? I just don't know what to do. I wanna get rid of Windows because of theyr GODLIKE RULES in 11. THX for help and greetings from Germany Dennis
don't get a G series, that will be a horrible combination with a RX6600 you need a 5600 or 5700 or the 5600x or 5700. And definitely not a b450 motherboard, that will also kill the performance as you will be forced to use PCIe gen3 speeds and the rx6600 is a gen4 card with only 8 lanes
@@mikesunboxing Thx Mike I know you are right about the killing of performance bit. Since I didn't get a driver for the Radeon RX6600 Challenger D I thought I get at least a running system. After that I could get the driver from from Asrock and replace it!? Not ? Ou dear. You know what. I just get my stuff from Mindfactory (Yes 5700X ;-) and pay my local dealer to install it with a driver. I hope he's gonna do it. I'm getiting to old for this BS. What MB would you advice me?

Hi i am currently using i5 11400 11th gen CPU and GT 730 GPU with 8gb ram. I wanna upgrade to asrock rx6600 but can u tell if it can fit my motherboard please. my motherboard is b560m ds3h ac of gigabyte. Sub from India. ❤
Please don't use that Text anymore You scared the living shit out of me. I thought my card is artifacting 😂 Other than that, I don't think this is a Good option. Other than wanting a brand-new card. RX 5600XT is the same performance card goes around 100Euro in my market, RX 6600 Minimum 160-170Euro New are 240 Euro+ 5600XT is a full 16 lane PCIE card, Super cool especially Sapphire, very quiet, RDNA does not do anything for you at this Price point, The only downfall is 6GB vs 8GB. Also Sapphire ALL but Reference come with the Upgraded Bios. And it's a Premium AMD brand. But for 170Euros You can get 5700XT which is a better card with 8GB.
i agree about the other options, but there are a large percentage of buyers that flat out refuse to buy used GPUs, weird i know but there are a lot of them out there
I think you may finally be going senile Mike! There weren't "plenty of options" when the 6600 was released, and the 3060 wasn't "basically the same price". Certain world events were happening and the gpu situation was complex! 😊 (I've only watched the first minute of the vid, maybe you address this)
RX 7600 is actually around 25 % faster rx 6600 but it is also 50 % more expensive in my country and at that price in my opinion just push a bit more and get 6700xt. 6600 rx is great for its price also quite power efficient even 450w bronze + psu should be enough (I wouldn't go for 450w but 550w psu instead for more room and also the price difference is tiny). PCIe gen3 or gen4 motherboards provide very small difference in games for rx 6600 .

The best value GPU today is the ASRock Phantom Gaming Arc A770 16GB. I have one with the latest drivers and it crushed the RTX 4060 by 3,024 points in 3DMark, and beat the RTX 3060 and 4060 in gaming performance.
i sold my A770 8GB a while back and slightly regret it as the drivers are getting much better
@@mikesunboxingThe Phantom Gaming 16GB one is $300 at MicroCenter.
Hey Mike.What would you do if you were me? I just got this card right now. It'll be my brand new PC. Got it for 208€ 🙂 What CPU would you get for it? Ryzen 5 5600G ,Ryzen 7 5700G 8x 3.80GHz.
The core would be 56€ more (177). Why a G? Just in case and and the 6600 came without a driver. I'm a dumb ass when it comes to software! And the G should work for the start,right?
ASRock B450M Pro4 R2.0 is planned.Sure I like to have a X instead of a G. 16MB level 3cache more. I guess you as a nerd don't even think about it,the X is your choice right? I've played 3500hours Medieval Dynasty. That's what I do mostly and I plan to do so further. City Skyline II won't work well now with 16GBRam right? DO I need 32GB ram in FHD? I'm so unsure, how to get a driver put it on a stick and... Were do I put it?
I need windows 11 or can I install my windos 7 to get it running and change to Linux mint afterward? I just don't know what to do.
I wanna get rid of Windows because of theyr GODLIKE RULES in 11.
THX for help and greetings from Germany

don't get a G series, that will be a horrible combination with a RX6600 you need a 5600 or 5700 or the 5600x or 5700. And definitely not a b450 motherboard, that will also kill the performance as you will be forced to use PCIe gen3 speeds and the rx6600 is a gen4 card with only 8 lanes
@@mikesunboxing Thx Mike I know you are right about the killing of performance bit. Since I didn't get a driver for the Radeon RX6600 Challenger D I thought I get at least a running system. After that I could get the driver from from Asrock and replace it!? Not ? Ou dear. You know what. I just get my stuff from Mindfactory (Yes 5700X ;-)
and pay my local dealer to install it with a driver. I hope he's gonna do it. I'm getiting to old for this BS. What MB would you advice me? The cheapest one from Mindfactory is out of the race now😁See I didn't even know this lane thing. At least I get 2more core and the 32MB 3rd level cache. THX for the help Mike

What do you think about I5-12400F AND asrock RX6600 my MB is gigabyte b760M ds3h ddr4
very nice combo
@@mikesunboxing Tysm
Is it worth buying a 1440p monitor for this GPU or is it better FHD though?
1440 would be okay for me
I have a question, so I have an antec 550w 80 plus bronze and can I use a RX6700Xt, also my processor is a Ryzen 5 5600G.
yes but your are right on the edge there really
Thank you for the reply and yeah, that's what I'm worried about @@mikesunboxing
Hello, I would like to know what thermal pads this model has, please
i don't know sorry
Well Details.
I want to know this RX6600 give all support for Photoshop, Aftereffect & Premiere pro? I'm mostly working in 1080P.
Not gaming..
yes that will be okay, nvidia would be better
@@mikesunboxing Thank you for the response.
But I just Ordered the RX6600.
I dont know how but I want to copy over all mt info from my old hdd to my ssd can some help I also want to take my hdd out after I get it all over to my ssd pls pls help
I’ve used EaseUS Disk Copy to clone a boot HDD to a new SSD. It’s free, though you need to give them an email address.
Hows the asrock 6600 compared to asus 6600 and sapphire 6600 all 8gb
not much if anything between them, get the cheapest or the one you like the look of
@@mikesunboxing ok, will do that. Have you tested those out before? The above mentioned😁
Man, this card run games on Ultra combined with i3 or mid-range Ryzen.
What budget things you talk about?!
it won't be running ultra settings much over 60fps unless it is older or esports games
I have a R5 5600G with a 500 watt psu. Is it okay for to me buy and upgrade to this GPU with my existing setup?
should be okay
I'm using bequiet 450w psu without a problem with i5-8400 (it has the same TDP 65W as 5600G) and rx 6600
My build btw im getting rx6600xt for 253 dollars is it worth it
Ryzen 5500
Msi b450 a pro vdh max
Coolermaster 550 plus bronze
Asrock 8gb rx6600
Galax revolution 5
500gb p3 crucial nvme
1tb wd hdd
8x2 ram
Is this build good or would you suggest me any other
i would maybe suggest a B550 motherboard and a 5600 processor if possible, otherwise the RX6600 will be running at pice gen3 speeds
@@mikesunboxing 5600g or 5600
Good for video editing, streaming and graphic design? Not for gaming.
good for all purposes really and good value
I got the gigabyte eagle version because it's cheaper in my country are they the same speed?
they will be without a margin or error difference, you likely won't notice it without running a benchmark and checking the data
Is this compatible for intel i5 11400??.,.,please help🥶
yes it is
what is a good budget motherboard and processor to combo with the rx6600
b550 gaming plus and 5600 works great
Should i take this version or Saphire?
i like this version personally but both are a reasonably safe bet
I think Sapphire and Asus are the top models for the RX 6600, while this one being one of the worst, temp wise
Would this be better than a ASUS Pheonix RTX 3050 8G?
i think so
6600 is a little better... for what it is priced at now, you can't go wrong. I sold my 2060 and have this exact 6600 coming in the mail.
I have the same card paired with 5600X. But all the games at 60 to 90 FPS is not smooth. I have 144HZ monitor is there some setting for that?

Alright thank you@@mikesunboxing
FLUID MOTION FRAMES?
wasn't available at the time of testing sorry. although FSR3.1 is out now and is likely better with lower latency
Do i need an anti sag thingy for this?
no it is quite lightweight, but you can use one if you like
@@mikesunboxing thanks
Hi i am currently using i5 11400 11th gen CPU and GT 730 GPU with 8gb ram. I wanna upgrade to asrock rx6600 but can u tell if it can fit my motherboard please. my motherboard is b560m ds3h ac of gigabyte. Sub from India. ❤
yes that will be fine! Thanks for the sub, from a wonderful Country
thank you
any decent for VR oculus quest?
not sure sorry, not really knowledgeable on VR stuff
Anyone know if this would fit on a Gigabyte H610M S2H DDR4 Micro ATX motherboard with a Wi-Fi card on the other PCIe slot below?
not sure, sorry
Guys should i buy rx 6600 challenger d or eagle 6600?
I am not a fan of gigabyte so would be a little biased
@@mikesunboxing Sapphire pulse rx 6600 8GB is bette choice?
@@p0ntikiii pretty much all rx6600 cards perform about the same get whichever suits your taste and wallet
Please don't use that Text anymore You scared the living shit out of me.
I thought my card is artifacting
😂
Other than that, I don't think this is a Good option.
Other than wanting a brand-new card.
RX 5600XT is the same performance card goes around 100Euro in my market, RX 6600 Minimum 160-170Euro New are 240 Euro+
5600XT is a full 16 lane PCIE card, Super cool especially Sapphire, very quiet, RDNA does not do anything for you at this Price point, The only downfall is 6GB vs 8GB. Also Sapphire ALL but Reference come with the Upgraded Bios. And it's a Premium AMD brand.
But for 170Euros You can get 5700XT which is a better card with 8GB.
At new yes a great card for price, however yes used 5700XT is a beast still, picked up another SOYO 5700XT for £100 yesterday! Made a video on it.
i agree about the other options, but there are a large percentage of buyers that flat out refuse to buy used GPUs, weird i know but there are a lot of them out there
I think you may finally be going senile Mike! There weren't "plenty of options" when the 6600 was released, and the 3060 wasn't "basically the same price". Certain world events were happening and the gpu situation was complex! 😊 (I've only watched the first minute of the vid, maybe you address this)
and it depends on your location globally
Can i use it in pcie 3.0x16 slot
you can if you like, but it will be slightly restricted
@@mikesunboxing It will run with pcie 3.0 speeds
@@syedanwar4187 There isn't much performance difference from what I remember reading I guess it depends maybe
@@BurningUp99 ok
RX 7600 is 20% faster Than RX6600
RX 7600 is actually around 25 % faster rx 6600 but it is also 50 % more expensive in my country and at that price in my opinion just push a bit more and get 6700xt. 6600 rx is great for its price also quite power efficient even 450w bronze + psu should be enough (I wouldn't go for 450w but 550w psu instead for more room and also the price difference is tiny). PCIe gen3 or gen4 motherboards provide very small difference in games for rx 6600 .
@@j.b.7813
RX 7600 is $ 317 in my country . India
what cpu did you use mike ?
that is a good question, think it was the 7700x
