Introduced in October 2021, the Radeon RX 6600 reference design had a launch price of US$329 and provided a level of performance that placed it above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050, but provided a far better value thanks to its lower price. Now, the MSI Radeon RX 6600 MECH 2X 8G, although it provides the same clock rates as the reference design, goes down on Amazon from a (too high) list price of US$399.99 to US$309.95 thanks to a 23% discount.
While the deal above is not bad given the advantages of MSI's implementation and level of software support compared to other brands, those looking for the best video card around US$300 should also keep in mind that a GeForce RTX 3050 can be found for less these days. On Amazon, for example, the MSI RTX 3050 Ventus 2X 8G OC is currently down by 23% as well, currently carrying a price tag that reads US$299.99 (US$389.99 list price).
The highlights of MSI's implementation are the improved heatsink, the precision-machined core pipes, the TORX Fan 4.0 used by the TRI FROZR 2 cooling system, as well as a generous amount of thermal pads that provide optimal heat dissipation for all board components prone to overheating.
After 589 ratings, the MSI Radeon RX 6600 MECH 2X 8G has a global rating of 4.6/5, with 77% perfect scores and 13% user reviews that consider it a product worth 4/5 stars. The breakdown by feature highlights five attributes, namely stability (4.0/5), noise level (4.2), value for money (4.4), with the best rated ones being tech support and gaming performance, both awarded 4.5 stars.
