Deal | 1080p gaming at an unbeatable price: ASRock Radeon RX 6600 8GB drops to US$179.99

The latest budget gaming solutions like the RTX 4060 Ti and Radeon RX 7600 models got absolutely slammed with bad reviews across the board. Instead of paying US$300 to US$400 for these new cards that Nvidia and AMD market as 1080p gaming GPUs, one could turn to previous gen solutions, which are now on sale as most retailers clear their stocks. Newegg, for instance, has a great deal for an AMD Radeon RX 6600 8 GB model that is discounted down to US$179.99.

Tests show that the RX 6600 is generally a bit slower than the RTX 3060 8 GB raster-wise, yet Nvidia’s solution is still more expensive at US$260. Nevertheless, the RX 6600 will run most current AAA games at ultra settings in 1080p while being considerably more power efficient than the Nvidia cards. Ray tracing is clearly not on par with what Nvidia offers and the VRAM limited to 8 GB might prove insufficient in a few years, but the AMD GPU can benefit from FSR to squeeze at least 30% more frames in most games. Additionally, if paired with an AMD processor, the RX 6600 can get a 15% boost via the Smart Access Memory feature.

Newegg has the ASRock Radeon RX 6600 8GB listed at US$199.99 and there is an additional US$20 limited time discount with the VGAEXCAA686 code.
