AMD RX 6600 XT Review ft. Gigabyte Gaming OC Pro

Resident Evil Village is a survival horror game developed and published by Capcom. The sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017), players control Ethan Winters, who is searching for his kidnapped daughter; after a fateful encounter with Chris Redfield, he finds himself in a village filled with mutant creatures. The game was announced at the PlayStation 5 reveal event in June 2020 and was released on May 7, 2021, for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Stadia. (Wikipedia.)

Engine: RE Engine. We test using the Max preset, with V-Sync and CAS disabled, DX12 API.

Resident Evil Village is the last AMD-sponsored title that we test, and the RX 6600 XT does produce the goods here. It averages over 160FPS at 1080p, giving it an impressive 23% lead over the RTX 3060. We can even see the 6600 XT's biggest win over the RX 5700 XT here, to the tune of 10%, with this new game best placed to get the most out of RDNA 2 compared to the original RDNA architecture.

At 1440p, that picture remains pretty consistent. We're still getting frame rates over 100FPS, which isn't bad at all for a card focused on 1080p gaming, while the 6600 XT is still 20% faster than the RTX 3060. It is still 10% slower than the RTX 3060 Ti, but that's one of the better results for the 6600 XT at this resolution.
