AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 XT
graphics card, designed to deliver the ultimate high-framerate,
high-fidelity and highly responsive 1080p gaming experience.
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card is built on breakthrough
AMD RDNA™ 2 architecture, the only gaming architecture that spans
from next-generation desktop PCs, laptops and consoles to mobile
devices and automotive infotainment systems. Offering 32 MB of
high-performance AMD Infinity Cache, 8 GB of high-speed GDDR6
memory, AMD Smart Access Memory and other advanced features, the
AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card is built for the
ever-increasing demands of modern games. It also supports the new
cutting-edge AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution open-source spatial
upscaling solution, which is designed to boost framerates and
deliver high-quality, high-resolution gaming experiences.
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card offers up to 15 percent
higher performance on average with max settings across select AAA
titles compared to the competition1. It also provides 125 FPS on
average across a wide range of modern AAA titles2, pushing the
boundaries of mainstream gaming by enabling incredible,
high-refresh rate 1080p performance and breathtaking visual
fidelity.
“1080p has long been the most popular resolution for PC gaming,
and in 2020 more than two-thirds of the gaming monitors shipped
were at this resolution3,” said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice
president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD.
“However, the most popular older-generation 1080p graphics cards
can struggle to even hit 60 FPS in modern games. The Radeon RX 6600
XT raises the bar for 1080p gaming. It was specifically designed to
deliver the ultimate 1080p gaming experience for all gamers,
offering powerhouse performance and advanced features to bring
beautiful, complex and hyper-realistic worlds to life.”
Epic 1080p Performance and Incredible Visual
Fidelity
The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT graphics card is designed to deliver
the optimal combination of performance and visual fidelity for an
exceptional gaming experience. It offers up to 2.5X faster
performance in select titles compared to the popular
older-generation competitive offering4, making it an ideal upgrade
for gamers who want the best possible 1080p gaming performance to
power today’s most demanding games. Key features and capabilities
include:
- AMD FidelityFX – Now supported by 50 titles
and game engines, AMD FidelityFX is an open-source toolkit of
visual enhancement effects for game developers available at AMD
GPUOpen. Offering broad support on more than 100 AMD processors and
GPUs, as well as on competitor GPUs, the new AMD FidelityFX Super
Resolution upscaling technology delivers 2.4X higher performance on
average in “Performance” mode at 4K across select titles compared
to native resolution5.
- AMD Smart Access Memory – Unlocks
higher performance when pairing AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics
with AMD Ryzen™ 5000 or select Ryzen 3000 Series Desktop Processors
and AMD 500-series motherboards. Providing AMD Ryzen processors
with access to the entire AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT high-speed 8 GB
GDDR6 graphics memory can deliver a performance uplift of up to 11
percent on average in select titles6.
- AMD Infinity Cache – 32 MB of last-level
data cache integrated on the GPU die reduces latency and power
consumption to enable higher gaming performance than traditional
architectural designs.
- DirectX® 12 Ultimate Support – Enables games
to deliver mind-blowing visuals with real-time DirectX Raytracing
(DXR), Variable Rate Shading and other advanced features, elevating
games to a new level of realism.
- AMD Radeon Anti-Lag – Helps decrease
input-to-display response times, making games more responsive and
offering a competitive edge in gameplay.
- AMD Radeon Boost – AMD Radeon Boost with
support for Variable Rate Shading can provide up to a 48-percent
performance increase in Warframe7 during fast-motion gaming
scenarios by dynamically reducing image resolution or by varying
shading rates for different regions of a frame, increasing
framerates and fluidity, and bolstering responsiveness with
virtually no perceptual impact on image quality.
