Great for 1080P gaming, the 6600 is just a tad lesser than the RTX 3060, correct me if I'm wrong.

It says the sale is ending in 15 hours of posting this.

Prices are dropping, I think this is a pretty decent price for this model.
I'm in the market for a new GPU but I am not desperate so I'm personally HODLing
Thought others might appreciate this though.
1 per household.

      Reading comprehension has failed you at some point.
      I don't know where.

        How so? It's not a tad slower at all…. it's considerably slower! This is NOT the XT model. It's the plain jane 6600.
        If you're going to counter-argument, its best to explain yourself, otherwise you just look silly.

          Right back at you actually.
          I thought your point was "It isn't slower" and your proof showed the opposite. So my first thought was "He either misread OP or the benchmark"
          You didn't explain that you think it's considerably slower and I didn't assume that because i thought it was impossible to think that.
          Anyway, Userbench is well known for being an unrealistic benchmark, that's why you're getting neg bombed. In games OP is correct.

    The 6600XT is a tad lower than the 3060, not the plain 6600

    • UFO on 06/02/2022 - 12:08

      My point above, but the fanboi's are out in force today.

      • Mitch889 on 06/02/2022 - 12:49

        Yeah you’ve been unfairly negged, the 6600 isn’t as good as the 3060, 6600 XT would be more comparable.

    • EmEnEm on 06/02/2022 - 18:52

      The 6600xt is actually faster than the 3060 in the majority of titles

      Yep! XT version of this card is worth the bump in price. Especially if you're trying to compare it to an RTX3060!

        +3

        I'm guessing the real question is "when", because the base models were $580 at launch, 6600 was $530. So probably an OC model around launch

    Anyone have any predictions on when GPU / hardware prices will semi-normalise? Been needing to upgrade for a while but can’t justify the astronomical prices for what you’re getting at the moment.

      Could be this year, could be never.

      • Mitch889 on 06/02/2022 - 12:52

        Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if they use the begrudging acceptance of higher prices to normalise them at slightly lower than what they are now, but higher than what they have been.

        • greatlamp on 07/02/2022 - 08:56

          They can try, but intel is going to hopefully bring real competition to nvidia, unlike AMD

    • incipient on 06/02/2022 - 12:34

      Most likely it's going to be a gradual slide: eg we'll see $50 taken off every month or so. I'd expect the only big exception would be if Intel's Arc (yes Intel now has arc and ark. I know right?) lands significantly lower in price than the current offerings, which will force prices to immediately drop across the board.

      But that's my $0.02. Or it could collapse tomorrow, or TSMC could burn down and we'll never get a gpu again. Who knows =P

      • Snoots on 06/02/2022 - 14:21

        This happened in 1999:
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Jiji_earthquake
        Direct quote from article:
        "A significant proportion of the world supply of computer memory chips (RAM) was at the time made in Taiwan, and the six-day shutdown of Hsinchu Science Park and other factories resulting from the quake caused computer memory prices to triple on world markets.[27]"

        All we need is another major earthquake and the seismic change will not only be high GPU's, but we will all be driving a Flintmobile.

    • themilkmanbot on 06/02/2022 - 12:57

      Between June and November this year is my guess, ETH POS, Intel entering market, Nvidia 4000 series and AMD refreshed 6000 series are all due to come out then which should add a lot of supply to the market as well as miners selling cards in anticipation of the ETH merge

      • tm32 on 06/02/2022 - 15:09
        +1

        There would be a temporary drop in supply of the AMD lines a they wind back supplies then NVIDA late & into early next year. I suspect prices will slowly side down , but the RRPs of yesteryear are long gone.

    • Casomme on 06/02/2022 - 13:34

      They should drop a bit but will never return to what they were. I think people have proven they will spend ridiculous amounts on GPUs.

  • cr4sh0verride on 06/02/2022 - 11:56

    Depends what you define as a tad less
    I think the claim could be validated with these benchmarks

    It all comes down to what you want to use it for, what monitor you have etc

      Final thoughts in that review copy and pasted:

      "Well, RX 6600 is a good card for 1080p gaming but it would have been a great 1080p card if it was priced significantly lower than RTX 3060. It is because you can get RTX 3060 at slightly more bucks and it is a much powerful card that not only shines in 1080p gaming but is comparatively powerful for 1440p gaming too."

      • cr4sh0verride on 06/02/2022 - 12:21
        +1

        Yeah like I said it all comes down to what you use it for

        Let's say I wanted to play Far Cry 5 in 1440p because it's my favourite game of all time
        Then the 6600 is better and I would be saving money and buying a better card for my purpose

      • OzViper on 06/02/2022 - 12:27
        +1

        The fact is, the 6600 IS priced significantly lower in the current market, so their conclusion is moot.

      • Casomme on 06/02/2022 - 15:47
        +1

        You can't blindly look at MSRP and make a conclusion. Look at the actual price they sell for and the 3060 is well above the price of a 6600. Nvidia has played people with their fake MSRP

    • Osprey87 on 06/02/2022 - 12:24
      +7

      The cheapest 3060 I could find at the moment is $829. So a 25% increase in cost. So the question you have as a consumer is are you willing to pay 25% more for an average of 5% - 10% more performance. A follow on from that would be how important is DLSS to you? Do you play a lot of DLSS supported titles? Because DLSS will widen the margin towards Nvidia by a decent amount.

      https://www.bpctech.com.au/product/12g-p5-3655-kr-evga-gefor…

      You could also have a discussion around ray tracing. But to be honest I don't like the ray tracing performance numbers of either card.

      The better discussion would be why buy this over a 6600 XT. That can be had for 10% increase in cost and delivers a 10% - 15% bump in performance. That to me is worth it in terms of price performance ratio. Although again you can debate how important DLSS is to you etc.

    This card is not in the same league as any of the 30XX or 20XX RTX cards, either in terms of features (ray tracing and DLSS) or raw performance. It’s more comparable to cards like the 1660S, or 1070.
