AMD RX 6600 Review ft. ASUS and Gigabyte

Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark for modern gaming PCs. Its ambitious real-time graphics are rendered with detail and complexity far beyond other DirectX 11 benchmarks and games. Fire Strike includes two graphics tests, a physics test and a combined test that stresses the CPU and GPU. (UL).

3DMark Time Spy is a DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built the right way from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards. (UL).

Kicking off with the 3DMark benchmarks, the RX 6600 does well in Fire Strike, sitting just behind the RX 5700, although it's only 6% faster than the RX 5600 XT. That margin decreases to 3% in the DX12 Time Spy benchmark, where the 6600 is also 6% slower than the RTX 3060.
