It’s this category where cards like the recently-released AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT reside. This is AMD’s answer to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti, battling it out at the entry-level point of the market – below the $400 mark at RRP. Yes, I know it’s still incredibly difficult to get these cards at RRP – but we have to assume the market will eventually normalize, and so we continue to review them at their standard price rather than the scalper-inflated costs.<\/p>\n
