The AMD Radeon RX 6600, which is expected to be released next week, has been tested in 3DMark and the data revealed gives an idea of the potential gaming performance the card will provide.
This leaked benchmark result shared on Twitter by a user named HXL shows that the standard RX 6600 achieved a graphics score of 8,155 in the Time Spy test (with an overall result of 8,612). VideoCardz detecting the leak; He says that compared to some of the other benchmark results available (from Hot Hardware), the RX 6600 beats NVIDIA’s RTX 3060 by about 350 points.
The RX 6600 and RTX 3060 offer the same performance in some games:
VideoCardz also highlighted previously leaked figures from AMD’s own internal benchmark results, noting that in some games the RX 6600 performs roughly on par with the RTX 3060. However, benchmark scenarios made by the company, which may have been carefully designed, should of course be carefully evaluated.
Rumor has it that the RX 6600 is expected to launch on October 13 and comes as a lower priced counterpart to the current RX 6600 XT. The board is thought to have 1,792 stream processors, and this will be the main point of feature difference compared to the XT version with 2,048 processors.
If the rumors are true and the 6600 is expected to have 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, the card’s clock speeds will also be a bit slower than expected.
