AMD Radeon RX 6600 vs AMD Radeon RX 7600

AMD Radeon RX 6600

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is a mid-range desktop graphics card that is based on the RDNA 2 architecture and uses the Navi 23 chip. It offers 1,792 shaders and 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM with a 128 bit memory interface (14 Gbps, 224 GB/s max).

The RDNA2 architecture offers new features like SAM (Smart Access Memory) and Infinity Cache. PCIe 4.0, RIS (Radeon Image Sharpener) and Raytracing support are also included in the RX6600.

The gaming performance of the RX 6600 is comparable to a GeForce RTX 2060 Super (Desktop). The previous generation Radeon RX 5600 can be easily bested. Therefore, the RX 6600 is best suited for demanding games in 1080p and high details.

The power consumption is rated at 132 Watt (TGP) by AMD and therefore offers a rather low power consumption compared to the previous generations with similar performance.

AMD Radeon RX 7600

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a mid-range desktop GPU and is manufactured using the 6 nm process at TSMC. The graphics processor has 2,048 shader units and 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM with a 128-bit interface (18 Gbps, 288 GB/s).

Features

As a smaller model based on the RDNA3 architecture, AMD is launching its first mid-range model, the Radeon RX 7600. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 replaces the AMD Radeon RX 6600 and offers slightly improved performance. In terms of features, the Navi 33 chip can fall back on the established features of the top models. For ray tracing, the Navi 33 chip now offers 32 RT cores and therefore slightly more performance than the AMD Radeon RX 6600, which is only equipped with 28 RT cores.

Performance

The performance of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 is comparable with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 comparable. In the internal duel, the RX 7600 surpasses the performance of an AMD Radeon RX 6600 noticeably. In fact, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 duels with an AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT. This makes the AMD Radeon RX 7600 ideally suited for 1,080p gaming in 2023.

Power consumption

The power consumption of the AMD Radeon RX 7600 is specified by the manufacturer at 165 watts (TGP). This is slightly less than an AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT, but significantly more than an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060.
