Pros: No problems yet, runs within specs.
Overall Review: Runs half life Alyx on high settings with good enough fps. I've played a few other games with it, the card itself is doing well. I can max out non VR 1080p with maximum junction temperatures reaching 85c under 100% load while averaging 60-70c most of the time while not and the overall card stays around 60c under load and idles around 32c per AMD's Radeon software . I did change the stock thermal paste out of habit though, I did not even test the stock paste.
Pros: - Best pricing for 6600 XT when purchased by over $100 (bought for 499.99, vs starting around $600 at other retailers) - Aesthetically pleasing design - In stock - AMD Radeon Software is way better than GeForce IMO - Smart Access memory works as advertised--I got a 7% performance bump in Cyberpunk 2077 just by enabling it - Mining efficiency is very high at about 575 eff/watt on DaggerHashimoto at time of writing (don't judge; I bought it to game but I might as well make up for the inflated price by hopping on the NiceHash train) - Runs Overwatch at 200 FPS on Ultra settings (1080p) - Runs Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p Ultra settings around 70 FPS with no FSR or RayTracing, pushing 100 FPS with Ultra Quality FSR and no RayTracing (paired with 5900X)
Cons: - Doesn't handle raytracing well. I tried Cyberpunk with RTX on and the performance instantly dropped by over 50%, even at 1080p. Was only getting 20 FPS with RTX and no FSR and even with FSR I couldn't get it past the 40s. (Paired with 5900X, so CPU not the problem.) - I don't love buying a 1080p graphics card for $500 in 2022, but this is still way better pricing than anyone else is offering as of this review, so a mixed pro/con.
Overall Review: - If you absolutely need a graphics card right now, this ASRock 6600 XT for $500 is one of the best deals around as of the first week of March 2022, so I'd recommend it. - I originally bought the XFX Qick 308 6600 XT from Best Buy for $620, but when this card showed up on Newegg for $500 I immediately returned the Best Buy card for it. Ironically, this ASRock card matches the XFX card's performance while drawing less power, though the dual fans have to work a little harder than the triple fans in the XFX. - I am coming from an Nvidia card (laptop 2070 Max Q), and I have been pleasantly surprised by AMD's software, as well as by Smart Access memory, which got me a free 7% performance boost in Cyberpunk 2077. As long as you don't care about RayTracing, I think I actually prefer AMD to Nvidia, which I didn't expect, though some of that might just be lingering annoyance at the even more insanely jacked up Nvidia pricing and supply.
Pros: The BEST 1080p GPU on the market, outperforming the overpriced 3060, 2060, and 2070. I can run all the games at 1080p Ultra settings with the 5600x and it's amazing! It's definitely better than my r5 2600 and rx570.
Cons: RayTracing might be a struggle for this.
Overall Review: If you're on a budget and want to play 1080p 100+ fps ultra gaming, this GPU is for you; I just hope GPU prices come down because this card cost $379 and is currently selling for $469-550, which is a rip-off.
Pros: Finally affordable
Cons: Still expensive for what it is
Overall Review: Over all if your a 1080p gamer its a great card
Pros: Great 2k and monster 1080p
Cons: It's a bit fat thankfully my case is an etx but there is a bit extra fat on it. Also price went down but still paid over msrp.
Overall Review: I just wanted an upgrade it was between this and the 3060 and I chose this cause it was on "sale:" for 469. It's amazing for player who wanna play on 1080p or 2k at a high fps. You can manage to get it to play on 4k at 60fps for some games. I got my settings cranked up to max on red dead 2 at 2k and elden ring. The one that had a bit of a problem was call of duty vanguard. But if you are looking for a modest upgrade I reccomend this card! But also if you are switching from Nvidia to amd I highly recommend you download a Nivida driver wipe software BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE GPU! I know you don't get Nvidia raytracing and all that jazz but this is still a good card!
Pros: Great cooling Great performance Super light Really quiet
Cons: Price
Overall Review: I was skeptical about buying this considering that the price is over MSRP and a lot of tech reviews said that it doesn't run well but after playing a couple of games i think theyre completely wrong. This runs perfectly fine. I get over 150fps on Doom (ultra nightmare settings) at 1080p and 120fps at 1440p. I get over 144fps on Apex (max settings) at 1080p and around 110-120fps at 1440p. If you're someone like me who plays single player games at max settings with the best resolution, and settings then this card is great. I don't mind 1440p 60fps (at max settings) i even run games at 1080p because i play on my bed lol
Cons: none
Overall Review: Running almost max settings on 1080p monitor and hitting around 140 fps on Battlefield 2042. Don't see the need to spend anymore money on a amd gpu
Pros: Excellent at every game i throw at it basically but..
Cons: the only problem im getting is that the drivers are kinda scuffed, they keep on uninstalling themselves, I have no clue why that happens the drivers seem okay for like 1-2 days and suddenly i log in and the drivers are gone, when i launch "AMD Software: Adrenalin" it displays an error shown in the picture. in GPU-Z it displays the driver version as (Adrenalin 21.20.16) from Jul 06, 2021 no matter how many times i install the drivers they vanish in like a day or two, I thought it was a windows 11 problem at first and i reverted back to windows 10 and i'm still facing the same problem and i cant find no solution for it
Overall Review: i've never had a similar problem with my old GTX 980
Excellent card for Semi-high MSRP Price
