The RX 6700 XT might be the high-end flagship of the latest RDNA 2.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the RX 6600 XT is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 379. AMD ’s xx00 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the RDNA 2.0 graphics card inside the RX 6600 XT, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
The RX 6600 XT is much more expensive than the RX 5600 XT as it costs a whopping $ 379. Compare this to the RX 5600 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 279.
