At $379, this new RDNA 2 offering costs even more than last generation’s step-up card, the $350 Radeon RX 5700. It, too, was positioned as a no-compromises 1080p offering. The graphics card the RX 6600 XT is replacing-the last-gen Radeon RX 5600 XT-launched a full $100 cheaper, at $279. We’ll get to performance in a moment but need to start with the elephant in the room: the price. At ChinaJoy on Thursday evening, AMD announced the long-awaited Radeon RX 6600 XT for “epic 1080p gaming” at high refresh rates, with a not-so-epic $379 price tag. Nearly nine long months after the Radeon RX 68 XT GPUs launched, AMD’s radical new RDNA 2 architecture is finally coming to the midrange-though the midrange sure is a lot more expensive in the midst of a crippling graphics card shortage.
