The Radeon 6600 XT's availability and announcement are approaching, and it is now expected that the cards will cost $349. The Radeon RX 6600, which is ranked lower, has a suggested retail price of $299.



The reports are based on an anonymous person acquainted with AMD's plans, according to the tech website Neowin. The information on the website is around a month old, so AMD could have modified their recommended rates again. 

According to them, the Radeon RX 6600 XT's suggested retail price is $349, because the GPU in rasterization outperforms the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, which costs $329. The RTX 3060's ray tracing performance would be superior. The Radeon RX 6600 XT is expected to be based on Navi 23 GPU with 32 compute units and 2048 stream processors when fully enabled. Clock speeds of up to 2.5GHz might be possible with this video card. The Radeon RX 6600 XT would contain 8GB of GDDR6 memory with a 128bit memory interface and a 256GB/s bandwidth. Infinity Cache of 32MB has also been mentioned.

The Navi 23 GPU in the AMD Radeon RX 6600 is likely to have 28 compute units and 1792 stream processors. Other parameters, like clock rates and memory configuration, would be identical to the XT model.

On July 30, AMD is rumored to unveil its RX 6600 graphics cards. On August 11th, the video cards would be available. Due to worldwide chip shortages, AMD offers its video cards through its own website at the suggested retail price, while prices at merchants can be significantly higher. Word is that at launch only a few thousand cards will be in stock.
