The RX 6600 has an advantage in the RDNA2 architecture and higher GPU clockspeed, which mostly level out that the RX 5600 XT has more raw muscle, with more cores(SUs) and higher bus bandwidth. Both are about the same level in real gaming performance. Anyone going from 5600 XT to a 6600 is a sidestep, not an upgrade. No less that 6700 XT will make sense, going from a 5600 XT. Value Wise, the 5600 XT can be bought second hand for GTX 1070 money.. or even less! And the 5600 XT is at GTX 1080 performance level. Newer GPU, lower power and price, thats a Win Win). Just 2 GB VRAM need to be sacrificed if going with 5600 XT. But at 1080P res, it is still plenty for nice visual settings.
you convinced me, time to get the RX 6600, decent price, really good performance even with the 8 lanes limit, but I am going to get the Ryzen 5 5600X just to make sure I get a better framerate, currently using a R5 2600 with a B350 motherboard, and a RX 5600 XT borrowed from a friend, but I need to have my own.
Upgraded to a Sapphire 5600xt Pulse from a Strix 970, double the performance, less noise, less electricity bill. Now I can actually undervolt, 900 series weren't able to do that.
It's good to mention as well that the 5600xt uses about 30% more power, so in the long rune you probably get the money back with goin the rx6600. Also with AMD Fluidmotion (and many other features) now only coming to the 6000 and 7000 series, I wouls suggest getting the RDNA2 card
After 8 years, I finally upgrade my Gigabyte R9 380 G1 Gaming to PowerColor RX 5600 XT Red Devil Edition for only $120. Well that's a good deal considering this one of flagship model 5600XT. Different is like night and day able to use max setting AAA Games over 70fps but I'm happy with 60fps cap to reduce heat and energy.
@@OasisFinder Nothing much to say. Just performance was far better, overall less heat in room compare R9 380, more features in Radeon Setting, and my electric bills become lower too. Not found any bugs, could be because the card already mature compare to it's first release
I use RX 5600 XT Mech OC and want to upgrade or rather get a newer or new GPU as I will be building a new system later this year. Thanks for the video.
Sadly the gigabyte OC model I got was used for mining and I can't see the revision number. It's a great card though more stable than my gigabyte OC 5700xt
Since i move from gtx 1050, i choose rx 6600 instead used 5600xt Power so efficient, currently play game under 60w if cap 30fps (console like) But im confused why newer generation card not have a leap different between previous generation
Newer generation has leap in power efficiency if Nvidia and AMD named and priced their GPUs correctly. The 4060 is actually using a 50 class GPU die (AD107) , although it's being pushed more making it less efficient to make them justify calling it a 4060. Maybe if it was used as a 50 class card for example, instead of being called 4060, it was rightfully called a 4050 and not pushed as hard, we might have a sub 75W card that performs close to a RX 6600.
@TheVanillatech when playing stream with sunshine and moonlight, better to stay 30fps , becaused bandwith bottleneck If my pc proses 60fps it will 30fps result at my phone view
Would you recommend me to save up for RX 5700 8 GB instead? it's only 20$ more expensive than RX 5600xt in my country, both are used. I believe that 6gb vram won't cut in the next few years so RX 5700 8 GB might be a better value.
The Extra $20 is totally worth it for the RX 5700. with 2 more GB of VRAM and also better power, you can push it more than the RX 5600XT. There are also some mods where you can flash the RX 5700XT bios to get some extra performance, but be careful. Take a look at tutorials and make sure you know what you're doing. But even at stock, the 5700 is a really good card. Cheers!
The RX 5600XT is not bandwidth constrained like the RX 6600 since it has a full x16 PCIe lane connection unlike the 8x of the 6600. PCIe 3.0 e 4.0 will be identical with the RX 5600XT.
Hello Benjamin! It's actually on purpose, I removed 2 Ram sticks closer to the CPU since I needed to install the CPU cooler, I needed Space. I was too lazy to remove all of them. I tested with 4x8 GB total 32 GB running all four on Dual Channel as you can see @3:28 Mark.
is $125 a good deal for rx 5600xt? it comes with 6 months warranty. Or should I save up more for rx 6600? it costs $170 usd in my country? both are used.

I got a rx6600 and rx5700xt. The rx5700xt is waaay better.

Rx 5600 xt vs rx 5700 xt next please
Was the RESIZABLE BAR activated? Because if it is disabled, the RX6600 loses performance and PCI-E 3.0.
