Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 3080 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RX 6600 XT by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RX 6600 XT could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 3080 is faster by 70% for 1440p gaming. However, RX 6600 XT is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RX 6600 XT to RTX 3080 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. In addition, taking into account the huge price difference between the two, the RX 6600 XT is a winner.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

The RTX 3090 might be the extreme flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3080 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 699. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 3080 Ti, the RTX 3080 's price is getting more discount.

Spec for spec, this RTX 3080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2080, by boasting 69.4 % more fps. The RTX 3080 has 10 GB RAM compared to the RTX 2080 's 8 GB video memory.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6800 XT, the RTX 3080 was -1.6 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I at 67 fps to 85 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 75 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play The Last of Us Part I, Forspoken, Atomic Heart, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy at 65 fps to 85 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 73 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Halo Infinite, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, GreedFall, Cyberpunk 2077, Godfall at 61 fps to 64 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 62 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT

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. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 3060 which costs $ 329. Spec for spec, this RX 6600 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5600 XT, by boasting 28.4 % more fps.

The RX 6600 XT has 8 GB RAM compared to the RX 5600 XT 's 6 GB video memory. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RX 6600 XT blows past the RX 5600 XT and, amazingly, even the RX 5700 as well.

Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3060, the RX 6600 XT was 9.3 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6600 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5600 XT and it really justifies an upgrade.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy, A Plague Tale: Requiem at 62 fps to 74 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 65 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Elden Ring, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, God of War, Forza Horizon 5, Baldur's Gate 3 at 63 fps to 71 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 66 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Apex Legends, Strange Brigade, Forza Horizon 4, Fallout 76, Call of Duty Modern Warfare at 62 fps to 69 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 66 fps.
